We really enjoyed our stay here. This is a small, family run hotel in a charming part of France. The owners are very friendly and attentive and really cared about making our stay enjoyable. Our room was very clean and we were allocated a ground floor room as we had taken our dog. The evening meal was delicious and home cooked. Would definitely return.

Although we booked two months prior to our visit, the proprietress phoned the day before our arrival to say there would not be room for us at Emeraude de Bois, on our first night, but that she had arranged for us to stay in another hotel overlooking the beach. When the phone call came we were actually climbing a mountain in The Spanish Pyrenees so couldn't check out the alternative hotel, but this was actually a delightful little place. All the same it was inconvenient having to pack up all our stuff and move again after only one night. We found Emeraude de Bois, clean, comfortable, and disappoints it was about 1.5km from the seafront, but the hotel provided cycles and a lock so we could ride along an adjacent cycleway to the beach. The breakfast provided was exemplary! Highest quality food and a vast selection, the coffee was the very best we tasted ever! So all in all a good place to stay for a few days!

The food was excellent and the hosts extremely friendly.

The hotel was easy to find and our welcome was warm without being too intrusive. Despite our poor command of French, the patron and staff worked tirelessly throughout our stay to ensure we got everything we wanted without delay. The food and wine was excellent and not overpriced. Service during the meals was second to none. The room was beautifully decorated, the ensuite very well appointed and the beds extremely comfortable. A day trip to Bordeaux was easily achieved using the park and tram system which is a bargain. Also worth a visit is the Parc Ornithologique at Teich. Here there is good walking and bird watching. Although we didn't try it this time, the area offers good, relatively flat cycling through wooded countryside.

Facilities, food, location and staff exceptional. We were made very welcome and were pleased with the very reasonable bill at the end of our 5 day stay.
