Mon Plaisir

Much improved - we have stayed at Mon Plaisir at least once a year for the last 15 years and it has improved out of recognition. Many of the rooms have been refurbished to a good standard, and they now accept credit cards for the hotel, though not for the dining room (It's under separate management). When we first stayed at Mon Plaisir 15 years ago, there was no choice of breakfast, and it might consist of sweet rice pudding with a meat sausage in it. Now there is a buffet system with porridge or rice, eggs boiled or scrambled, sausage, bread, butter etc, yoghurt and self-service tea and coffee. The car park is still not tarmacked but we have never failed to find a space. The staff are always helpful and keen to help. They provided us with a kettle when we requested it.

As in previous years, our double-bed had only single-bed sized sheets. There is no lift, so that if you are on one of the upper floors, you have a long way to carry your luggage. The bottom step of the main staircase is taller than the other steps and can catch you unawares.
