Le Nessay

That’s a gem. A very friendly hotel at a beautiful location at an impressive old castle. Overall, the stay was excellent, and the team was very welcoming. Easy access to the beach. The bar is very nice and serves fresh local oysters. One point for improvement is breakfast choice.

Wonderful location, beautiful hotel, nice decor, clean. Dyptique products in the bathroom. Stunning views from the room and the bar. Delicious breakfast with lots of options. The staff is the kindest, very helpful. There is a small cute beach next to the hotel. You can do a small hike from the hotel.

We stayed at Le Nessay on the night of September 23rd and had to cut short our stay on the morning of the 24th because of a medical emergency with the family dog. The behaviour by the management of the hotel was so incomprehensible that *********** attempted to intercede on our behalf and were as shocked as we were by management's attitude. On the morning of September 24 our pug became ill and we telephoned her Vet (in Saumur) who directed us to go ASAP to VetRef in Angers Beaucouzé (a fully equipped emergency animal hospital) which is 207 kilometres from the hotel. First thing that morning we had already told the hotel we needed to leave and we rushed to gather our things once contacting VetRef. The person at the desk told me they would credit the night we would miss while on my way back to the room to assist with getting out things. Once back downstairs, and heading out the door, the answer changed to No because we booked through ***********. We ;needed to go and focus on the dog. Once the dog was being treated, and I could turn back to this, the dismantling of the truth by hotel management is shocking. I contacted *********** who said of course the room could be credited if okayed by LeNessay. The hotel refused to respond to their several calls and then refused the credit. *********** was shocked given the emergency circumstances. The hotel then claimed we left mid afternoon so they could not re-rent the room.Again, trying to blame someone else. That is an impossibility. The veterinarian hospital records show that our dog was admitted for emergency care at 1:50 in the afternoon, 13:50. That was 207 km from the hotel! The car travel takes over 2.5 hours. We were out the door of the hotel no later than 10:30 AM and they knew before the breakfast I never ate. I have a second home in France and am appalled by management's position which is so inconsistent with my lifetime of experience here. Yes, the wonderful French veterinarians took great care of our dog and were pleased they acted so quickly and effectively. She is recovering well after surgery . No, I would not stay at a hotel with that type of a response to an emergency especially when they easily had the economic benefit of the room returned to them. Thanks to *********** who tried to intercede.

We stayed in the annex at Hotel Nessay for only one night. The position of the hotel with access to two spectacular beaches was incredible - easiest beaches to access during our stay in Brittany. The rooms in the annex are beautifully decorated and clean and modern but you do not have the sense of openness or views from them. Thus we felt that we were paying a significant amount for a room that felt enclosed with window coverings that filtered the light but did not make you feel you were part of the outdoors. Breakfasts were very good - try the freshly made crepes and we had a very pleasant dinner but of the three hotels we stayed at in Brittany the hotel ranked third while access to the beaches was the best.

We had the lovely suite in the turret with a big sun terrace, with gorgeous panoramic views. Stunning historic hotel with very attentive staff. Parking is available on site behind the hotel for 12 euros (I would have thought that should really have been included in the hotel tariff as the rooms aren't cheap). Nice room with a huge bathroom and lovely shower inside the turret. We had another turret that was hard to use as it was completely filled with a sort of round bed/settee - I personally think it would be nicer to take that out so guests can walk into the turret and admire the view, but perhaps some guests use it as a bed for kids

Lovely hotel, great staff, fantastic food. Really classy. Great walks along the coast and Dinard golf is a very good course nearby. The bar terrace is a lovely place to watch the sun go down over a nice drink! We will be back.

Wonderful service, delicious food, beautiful place

Le Nessay was charming and beautiful, every inch perfectly curated for comfort. The staff was professional and attentive and the food and drinks were amazing. From the moment we walked into our room, until the time we left, it felt like a seaside dream. We were on the second week of a two-week 38th anniversary trip and it was perfect in every way! Our wonderful experience at Le Nessay, and the surrounding Brittany area, will always hold a special place in our hearts!

Arrived at lunchtime after a 3 hour drive to find a large function meant lunch wasn't being served. This coincided with Tuesday being St Briac's day off so no restaurants open anywhere. Not a great start. No guest parking other than a chargeable valet service so your car disappears somewhere and requires 20 minutes' notice before you can get it back. Room had a nice view but at £450 a night, it's massively overpriced: small, basic and virtually no storage room - our belongings perched on any available surface. Returning after a 5 hour outing to find the room unserviced at 2.30pm was the last straw. I've never been so cross in French before! No sign of a manager anywhere, though the young staff do their best. Without direction and training however, service standards are poor. Seriously disappointing - especially after 5 nights at Les Manoirs de Tourgéville.
