Le Chene Hotel

Breakfast

On arrival we were very disappointed, the first room we were shown to was awful like being in a dungeon, so we asked to change still not brilliant. The reception smells, very shappy and dated.. stains on the carpet. And you could see hoovers dumped in the corner. Would never stay there again. Stains on the carpet. Sink in the bedroom. I just wanted to go home.

The breakfast was excellent as there was so much choice.

We really enjoyed our stay: the owners and staff were very welcoming and friendly. Our room (7) was reasonably spacious and comfortable, breakfast was excellent, and there was ample parking. Bus stop right outside to access the whole of the island, and a great pub less than 10 minutes walk for evening meals. Nice conservatory to sit and chat, work or relax. Bike hire and use of walking poles and brollies on site. Within minutes you could walk into the heart of the countryside or coast. And although 15 minutes from the airport (a plus) there was little noise to intrude into the calm.

The hotel's facilities are a throw back to the 1990s, much like the rest of the island! Bathroom and shower worked but a bit dated. Decor similar but in keeping with rest of hotel. There was some noise from other rooms but not intrusive. The TV was pretty small, mounted high on the wall, so barely fit for purpose. Corridors nearby were cluttered with outside furniture furnishings and looked like they were past their best, hopefully not a H&S/fire safety incumbrance. However, none of this was a major detraction from our stay.

Clean and comfortable, friendly staff.

Room was a bit on the small side

Breakfast was good

I booked this hotel because it was one of only two available options for the dates I required. Unfortunately, my experience was extremely disappointing from the moment I arrived. Upon entering the hotel, there was nobody present at reception. Instead, there were several pieces of paper left openly on the desk, one of which displayed my full name alongside the key to my room. I found this deeply concerning and entirely inappropriate. It compromised both my privacy and personal safety, as any guest entering the property could see my identity and room number. As a lone female business traveller, I found this particularly unsettling, especially given recent high-profile cases in the UK involving women being assaulted in hotels after strangers gained access to their room details. I believe this approach to guest check-in is irresponsible and unacceptable. While trying to locate my room, I also encountered a door displaying a “Beware of the Dog” sign. Frankly, the smell of dog throughout the corridor was noticeable long before the sign itself. The overall cleanliness and atmosphere of the property were very poor. For £165 per night, the hotel was exceptionally poor value for money. The walls were extremely thin, and I could clearly hear other guests snoring and other bodily noises throughout the night. The experience felt more like staying in a youth hostel or YMCA than a hotel charging premium rates. The room itself was dated and poorly furnished, with mismatched furniture that appeared cheap and second-hand. Overall, the accommodation felt tired, neglected, and far below the standard expected for the price charged. The only member of staff I saw during my stay was briefly at reception while I was rushing out for a business appointment. I received no greeting,no eye contact, and the individual appeared completely unapproachable, which only added to the poor overall impression of the hotel and its customer

Niek was very friendly and helpful. The room was perfect for us (3 blokes) and the breakfast was amazing. Very close to airport which suited us, would visit again 😃

Nothing

Les petits déjeuner fabuleux à la mode anglaise ! super accueil et convivialité !
