La Mère Poulard

Loved the stay at La Mere Poulard. The room selected had an amazing view, very comfortable sitting area to relax, a comfortable bed, and modern bathroom. I am very happy I made the decision to stay on the island. Made for a romantic stay to enjoy Mont Saint Michele before and after the crowds. The restaurant was delicious and an amazing experience as well.

Beautiful, historic, original property. So fun to go from one bedroom to the other if you come with a big family and they aren't in the same building. Also very fun to arrive at night just before diner when the tide is high and just the can pass, and water is on your right and your left when you come down the bus, with waves surrounding you. Even better on chrtistmas show dates. Magical. Such a privilege to be able to sleep in such historical grounds. Staff is very nice. Food is delicious, rooms have been renovated and have an incredible view on the sea of the bay. Great plaasure. Thank you

For elders: sometimes 4th floor no elevator. But it is feasable if done slowly;-)

It is simply a magical spot! Loved having the village to ourselves at night (off season). This place is like entering a dream that you never want to end. It will take your breath away. I’ve been to a lot of wonderful places but this one wins! The room was decent and needs a bit of attention but that would take from the magic. Get up early to take sunrise photos and with video capture the birds awakening from their roasts up high in the belfry as the church bells begin at 8am. Go eat breakfast early as on our second day there were no scrabble eggs or bacon left (the best I ever had). The selections for breakfast were otherwise wonderful. I would skip dinner there. I was disappointed in the lamb (fatty and insufficient). My husband said his beef was good. Antoinette, our server, was fantastic. We arranged an English tour of the abbey with a woman from England. She was knowledgeable, funny, interactive and genuinely wanted everyone to be involved and informed. Wish I could remember her name but did include her photo. Tub in bathroom small and impossible to fill. Bring an extra small flashlight to guide you around the castle village and grounds at night. Catch a mass in the abbey if you can. Don’t miss an iconic photo opportunity to take pictures of lambs in the higher pasture on the left side facing the abbey. Capture Mont Michel in background or visit the shop selling the world famous print of snow covered lambs.

Nothing. It was world class!

The location was wonderful with a window view of the St Michel spire from our window. The restaurant was perfect with both service and food preparation beyond reproach.

No complaints other than the many stairs to the room but of course it is "Mont" Michel.

Location, atmosphere

The room was clean and warm. The bed and pillows were comfy. Mont Saint Michel as a location is very special.

There was a view across a terrace and rooftops - bit disappointing we were hoping for a view across the water. The breakfast was ok - the toaster did not work so we were only able to have bread that was a bit stale. The scrambled eggs were so cold I could not eat all of them. The pastries and coffee were good. Our dinner was not very good either for the price we paid.

The room was lovely and spacious

The number of stairs and distance from Reception. We are in our 60’s and had luggage. There was no assistance in getting up the many flights of steps to the building our room was in or up the four flights to the room.

The breakfast was wonderful. The view was stunning. The island itself was amazing.

Our biggest grumble would be that the site perhaps misrepresented our room location. It was in the Ermitage which looked on the site as if it were a better room in the main lower hotel. We could not get our heavy bags up to the rooms we were allocated. The first room we were assigned was in the attic and had a dehumidifier going - it had a clear mould issue and I have a mould allergy. They moved us down a level but the room was quite dirty and dusty.
