AUBERGE DE LA BAIE

We recently stayed at Auberge de la Baie, located just a short drive from the iconic Mont Saint Michel. Here's what you need to know:
Pros:
Great breakfast: fresh croissants out of the oven, cheese, ham, boiled eggs, jellies, chocolate croissants, lots of different types of coffee and teas.
Great location: The proximity to Mont Saint Michel is a major plus. It’s convenient for those looking to explore the area without staying inside the more tourist-heavy zone.
Ample parking: There’s plenty of space to park, which is often a challenge in the region.
Helpful staff: The front desk lady was friendly and accommodating, which we appreciated after a long journey.
Room as described: We booked a quadruple room for four people. It was exactly as advertised—basic but functional. Each guest receives one towel, and there’s liquid soap provided for both body and hair.
Cons:
Cleanliness concerns: When we entered the room, we were shocked to find around 20 flies buzzing inside. Unfortunately, this wasn't an isolated incident—all the rooms our group stayed in had the same issue.
Reason for the flies? The hotel sits directly along the path of hundreds of sheep that cross in front of it day and night. While it’s charming to witness this pastoral tradition, it leaves the road covered in droppings—and apparently, it attracts a large number of flies.
Limited comfort: The shower is very small, and there’s almost no space to put your personal items. While this might be expected from a no-frills accommodation, it was inconvenient for a group stay.
Wish we had known: Had we known about the fly problem and the extremely basic amenities, we might have considered other options nearby.
Final thoughts:
If you're looking for an affordable stay close to Mont Saint Michel and don’t mind very simple accommodations with a few rustic downsides, Auberge de la Baie might suit you. However, for those expecting comfort and a clean, fly-free experience, I would recommend exploring other nearby hotels.

Zimmer sind sehr spartanisch und viele Gebrauchsspuren. Die Badewanne ist ok, nur kann man hier nicht um stehen duschen.
Die Kurtaxe ist hier leider sehr hoch.
Toller großer Parkplatz vor der Tür.

We absolutely loved this place. Old stone building with modern rooms. Check in was a breeze. Very polite and helpful staff. I felt the price was a great value. The view of Mont Saint-Michel from the hotel is amazing. We walked from the hotel across the road, into the sheep pasture all the way to the Mont. It was approximately 1.5 miles? At 7am the local Shepard herded several hundred sheep down the street right past our window. Apparently this happens every morning and evening. Staying here and experiencing all of this was a highlight of our trip.

Merci pour votre accueil. J'ai passé une très bonne soirée devant le coucher de soleil sur le Mont, et une très bonne nuit.
