La Petite Folie

We had a large and comfortable room on the second floor. We were met by Valerie who was most helpful in explaining everything that we needed to know, including recommendations for where to eat. There is a beautiful private garden at the rear with a little tea house - hence the name 'La Petite Folie'. This was rather more expensive than we would usually pay, but justified by the exceptional quality of the accommodation. The bedroom has some kitchen facilities built-in, but I doubt that many people use them. Our only minor gripe was that our room ('Michel Serrault') had no shower, only a bath with a shower hose.

We stopped off at La Petit Folie for one night. It was about a 30 minute drive from Le Havre in a really lovely location. We were fortunate enough to have the lovely room at the top. It was very nicely decorated and had lovely automatic velux windows and blinds and was bright and airy. There is really good air con/heating. The bathroom had Rituals shampoo and body wash which was a lovely treat. Very comfortable bed and there is a little kitchen in the room.

Wow. What a find. From the initial communication, to the friendliest of welcomes by Valerie, this superb boutique hotel shows that great things come in small packages! Our room (the Claude Monet) was beautifully furnished and well equipped for a short stay. Make sure you make use of the lovely tea room and terrace lounge chairs in the delightful gardens. The hotel is only 5 minutes walk from ample free parking at Boulevard George V, a 2 minute stroll to the heart of Honfleur and a pleasant 15 minute walk to the beach (where there is a lovely little beach bar and restaurant).

I cannot rate this place highly enough! From arrival to departure the whole holiday was gorgeous. The building and our apartment (we stayed in Charles Baudelaire room!) was so pretty and stylish, with lovely details and furniture. The bed was super comfy and kitchenette perfect for cooking - though we mainly ate out at the BILLIONS of restaurants and cafes in Honfleur! Location was also brilliant, you could come in the garden entrance (the garden was lush and felt so secluded and peaceful!)- which overlooked the public park, with the sea behind that, or you could come in the street side entrance, which led you immediately onto a cobbled pretty side road with shops cafes and restaurants further up going into the harbour itself! Apartment was cleaned daily which was a bonus, and you can order breakfast to your room (continental). We had shuttered windows and curtains which were great for blocking out light for sleeping, and when the windows were closed it was silent. I was worried about noise at night, but we slept with the windows open as there was very little noise past 10pm (and I’m a light sleeper!) - and you can always close the windows and have the fan on instead. Valerie and Sucro who run the place were brilliant and so friendly. I can’t rate Valerie’s cakes highly enough- which she bakes daily. We also enjoyed the little orangery in the garden where you can sit and chill out and have coffee/tea or sunbathe on the loungers up there! All in all, we thought it was one of the best places we’ve stayed, they’ve thought of everything, and really good value for money. We WILL BE BACK!

This was our first visit to Honfleur, which is an amazing place, but our stay at this beautiful B and B was the icing on the cake. We stayed for 2 nights at the start of a little road trip around France and absolutely loved it. The location (up a little street just away from the harbour) is perfect and although you can’t park on site, there is a free car park 5 minutes walk away. The house itself is beautiful - so much care and attention has been taken with all the furnishings and decor. It’s all immaculately clean, welcoming and very luxurious. Our apartment was absolutely lovely and had windows opening onto the street (once closed, you can’t hear any street noise and I’m a light sleeper!). We loved watching the world go by from this vantage point! The bed was super comfortable with beautiful linen, the little kitchen area perfect (although we did eat out most of the time as there are sooo many amazing restaurants) and the bathroom beautiful with a lovely free standing bath to relax in. Valerie (the lovely housekeeper), met us on arrival and was so welcoming and friendly. Valerie is a wonderful character and along with making sure her house is perfect at all times for her guests, also makes the most delicious cakes, which are served in the beautiful lounge every afternoon (best lemon cake ever!). We loved our stay so much, we came back a week later to stay one more night on our way back to the UK as we were lucky enough that they’d had a cancellation the day before! The owner, whom we met in the mornings, is also a delight and so friendly and professional. A true gem in a beautiful place that we can’t wait to return to. Thank you to Valerie and all the staff at La Petite Folie for such a memorable experience.

This B&B was amazing! The location was wonderful, located on a charming cobblestone street next to shops and restaurants, and within easy walking distance to the main part of town. We stayed in a Superior Apartment that was on the 2nd floor. We were 3 adults and there was plenty of space! The apartment was meticulously clean, and the decor was so charming! The bathroom was large, clean, and the shower had excellent water pressure. We had a beautiful view of the garden out of our window. There was a charming tea room located in the garden where you could sit and relax. Free parking was an easy 5 minute walk. We opted not to do the breakfast as we wanted to explore different parts of the town during our stay, but it smelled amazing and the dining room was lovely! The hosts were very helpful. I would recommend La Petite Folie to anyone staying in Honfleur!
