A beautiful, ideal location overlooking the sea. The staff were extremely friendly & helpful. The breakfasts were delicious & the bread & fruit were fresh every day. The bar service was also excellent! In addition it was good to have private parking on the premises. I would highly recommend this hotel!

Whilst we chose our garden room when booking, it lacked privacy with people walking by the windows, early morning & at night with outside lights coming on. Next time we would choose the room next door with external entrance & more privacy, or even the top floor with total privacy & views!

The main hotel is on the coast with direct access to a small lovely beach. We were then offered an upgrade to their nearby villas which was simply extraordinary.

The rooms in the main hotel are a bit small. So if you have a party of more than two, it would be best to book their villa.

We booked a room with an outside patio area. This was under the main building which was nice as you could sit there out of the sun. The location is excellent, right on the headland and just a short walk from the beach. It is easy to find and has ample parking for the number of rooms Breakfast was good. Hosts friendly Hotel is just outside Batz sur Mer which is a nice village with bar/tabac, pizzeria, creperie, shop, boulangerie and nice beach

Nothing

Although we had originally booked a room in Le Lichen, due to a cancellation we were offered the villa, Bel Horizon, for a small supplement. All I can say is Wow! What a fabulous property. Right on the sea front with everything you needed.

It does have steps up to the door and inside down to the bedrooms so you do need to be mobile.

The location is second to none, the coastal walk is 20 steps away. To sit and have breakfast with the most fantastic views. The staff are fantastic and very welcoming and accommodating, full of information on the local area etc.

Location, room and the breakfast

The hotel Le Lichen is a magical place. We loved the atmosphere, the wonderful and most helpful staff, having a delicious breakfast looking out to sea…. The hotel is situated on a clifftop with wonderful views of the dunes, the sea and the nearby beach. It boasts a panoramic breakfast room and a very cozy lounge/bar. We only stayed a few days, but we’ll definitely be back - and stay longer next time!

The location is spectacular! Beautiful views of both the expansive Atlantic Ocean and also a quiet cove. It was so lovely to admire the ocean views from the breakfast room. We also enjoyed the outside patio to sit in the sun and read. Breakfast had so many choices!

Our room was on the lower level and it was a little cumbersome to navigate the stairs and the hallway.

Room was small but overall o'k. Location is fantastic.

Hotel does not have restaurant, and most of the restaurants in the vicinity were closed during our stay .

Hotel owner and hotel manager both very friendly and welcoming. Easy parking. Close to a nice beach (100m walk) Calm neighborhood despite being next to a coastal road (this was our experience in early September - may not be the case in the high season) Bathroom/WC well fitted and of reasonable size. Lounge and veranda comfortable and pleasant. Pool table in the lounge area (free use)

Bedroom very small (15cm between the double bed and the wall on each side). Difficult to stow our 2 big suitcases in bedroom. A pity there is no lift (elevator) to get to 1st floor.

Bed was comfortable, shower was good, nice access to seafront
