Saint-Desirat Vacation Rentals

"Great hotel in beautiful town. Was upgraded free of charge as the room we booked was not easily accessible with a small baby and pushchair. Room was spacious snd clean. Breakfast was good with amazing fresh orange juice!"

"The reviews online rave about the very nice rooms. The reviews and hotel info do not make clear that arriving with a car is very difficult logistically. The hotel boat is moored where there is only a pedestrian footpath. There is no where close by to drop the bags for easy access, many meters from where cars are allowed. There are no actual staff at the location, only virtual staff who cannot help with the luggage drop or movement. You get parking recommendations only after the cancel window has closed and in reality, the two car parks within 10 minute walk are community lots filled by local apartment dwellers. You can wait around for a spot to open but locals scout openings for their friends and not friendly to outsiders waiting. If you have any mobility issues, be aware you may need to carry/pull your suitcases at least 700 kilometers that could include stairs. So getting to La Peniche may require escape room types logic skills to achieve if you are older, have any mobility issues, and arrive by car. We failed and forfeited a nights stay because we could not make it work. In retrospect, plan for a more secure car park further away ( like the Greco Roman Museum lot) and taxi as close as you can to the boat."

"Not sure if it was because it was end of season but whole area in need of some tlc. Restaurant closed apart from pre ordered breakfast. Kitchen drawers had food bits in them an floor dirty. Not shown where bins or indoor pool was on arrival. Chair broken. A shame as has potential."

"Close to many dining and shopping options. Very quiet at night."

"Lovely hotel as usual. More expensive than last year. Good it now has air con. "

"Easy location and comfortable stay for one night to attend Jazz à Vienne. Was able to work easily for the afternoon from the desk in the room. Small room but had everything needed. Staff were very friendly and helpful too."

"Not sure why some gave so so reviews. I thought hotel in good condition. Good value. Good ac. Good cycle storage. Friendly staff. "

"Outside dining area and garden is lovely and food was excellent"

"Great location just across the river from Tain. There’s a parking garage which is nice so you don’t have to park on the street. "
