“We get consistently flattering reports of this remarkably odd-looking former home of parfumier Pierre Guerlain, turreted and red-walled on the outside, an attractive, pared-down version of seaside chic inside. Several of the simple, airy bedrooms (some without ensuite facilities) have balconies giving on to the Somme estuary, famed for its pearl-grey light. A happy-go-lucky place, perfect for families (dormitory for children) where the good food, with a bias towards fish, is carefully presented.”
