L'Ecrin
A handsome Norman manor tucked just minutes from Honfleur's harbour, L'Ecrin charms with its beautifully decorated public rooms, a lovely garden and pool, and staff, particularly the warmly praised Nam and the director, whose attentiveness guests single out repeatedly, though room quality varies considerably, with some finding their quarters romantic and well-appointed while others encounter a leaky shower or a rather uninspired décor, and breakfast, though pleasant, draws mild grumbles about price and limited choice.
