L Habitation Cerf Hotel

As it’s compulsory to say something positive- We were given a nice juice on arrival.

The ferry captain shouted at us before we even got on the boat to the island - apparently we were causing him to be behind schedule (but we were ready at the time the hotel had told us), there was no-one to meet us at the hotel. When shown to our room, the bathroom was dirty, the toilet seat didn’t fit the toilet, the cupboards and drawers were all dirty, the bedside tables were falling off the side of the bed, and there was a lot of cigarette smoke drifting into our room from the smoking area outside our door. There were no shelves in the cupboard. The safe didn’t work. The owners son came to fix it and it still didn’t work by the time he left because he never asked us what the problem was. We were asked to pre-order dinner, but there was only one menu for the entire estate, and the ‘waiter’ wouldn’t wait for us to read the menu. The decor was old, and had obviously had a number of repaints and touch-ups. So, despite being on our honeymoon, and really looking forward to staying there, we left on the next ferry back to the mainland and booked to stay somewhere else that made us feel less like we were an inconvenience.
