Restaurant Hotel Didier Méril

Stayed two nights with breakfast each morning and dinner one night. Room 6 was an attic room with a great view across the bay. The bed was very comfortable and the bathroom marvellous use of space and an outstanding shower. Breakfasts were plentiful but perhaps not for the calorie conscious. However great launch pad for much dog walking in Dinard, Saint Malo and Cancale. Our meal on the Wednesday night was superb and fun to read the menu from an I-pad. We chose the two different gourmet menus, one of us had carpaccio and then the beef and the other had beef cheek followed by the veal. Both of us had the cheese from the magnificent cheese trolley and then the pear and almond dessert. We chose a couple of Languedoc wines that were both excellent and very good value, as many of the wines from there are. Finally the young serving staff were very enthusiastic, pleasant and knowledgeable. It was a great evening overlooking the Baie de Prieure

A very cosy and quiet place, magnificent view from the dining room.

We stayed in room 6 for 1 night on 31st August (2 adults and a 16 years old) What we like: Fantastic view of the Prieuré beach. Very helpful and friendly staff. Public car park in front of hotel. Magimix coffee machine in room. What we like less: Room looks dated and tatty (damaged furniture, strange half size wardrobe…). Small bathroom but with good shower. Only one very flat pillow per person (had to fold my pillow in half!). Sofa bed mattress very thin and you could feel the springs. Expensive continental breakfast at 18 euros. I felt that was overpriced for a few mini pastries, bread and cakes. The stairs can be a bit treacherous with suitcases. We paid nearly £200 for the room and an additional 54 euros for breakfast. All I can say is that I had higher expectations at that price level.

You know it’s a good hotel when 3 days feels like a week away! Suite 8 is wonderful. Panoramic views, easy beach access, private terrace, well equipped room. The only challenges were the stairs (3 long flights down), slow draining shower - it happens and struggled to park due to demand, but got lucky.

The hotel was extremely clean and beautiful, the staff was very friendly and helpful

Room was a little small but food and restaurant was exceptional

I read a moaning review complaining about the unsuitability of this hotel for small children. I agree, but don't blame the hotel, trying doing your research properly. Also, why go to France and expect everybody to speak to you in English? Our hotel suite no. 7 was wonderful, with 2 balconies overlooking the Plage du Prieuré, the seawater swimming pool and the sea. Very beautiful. The food prepared by Patron Didier Meril was between good and wonderful depending upon which dishes you choose. None of the food was disappointing. and the restaurant, I suggest, is verging on gaining its first Michelin star. The only slight difficulty experienced was with my wife's requirement for gluten free food at breakfast - no problem with the other meals. The promised porridge (flocons d'avoine) did not materialise until the last two days of our 6 day break. We would certainly return with great pleasure. Dinard is a lovely and beautifully maintained town.

Super overnight at didiers before the morning ferry to jersey. The food is the best in dinard and the rooms comfortable. Public parking outside the hotel is free but limited. Highly recommend.

Pour séjourner régulièrement dans des 3 ou 4 étoiles celui là en vaut 2 tout au plus ! Pour commencer l'accueil ... On entre dans un petit couloir et nous attendons au comptoir de réception (le même que pour le restaurant), il n'y a personne... Un moment une serveuse nous aperçoit et nous fait le check-in. Nous montons des escaliers très exiguë et pas engageant. Et lorsque nous ouvrons la porte de notre chambre c'est la stupeur ! Chambre minuscule. C'est sur que lorsque l'on regarde les photos du site il n'y a qu'une seule photo du lit.. ça aurait dû nous mettre la puce à l'oreille. Déjà il n'y a rien pour poser ses affaires, même pas les chevets! Qui sont occupés par une machine à café et des tasses pour l'une et la bouilloire et des verres pour l'autre. Il y a une tablette rabattable contre le mur mais une fois ouverte on ne passe plus autour du lit... La deuxième bonne blague c'est la TV, qui est dans une niche au dessus de la porte à 2m du sol. Et troisième bonne blague la salle de bain. Lorsque l'on est sur les wc on peut se brosser les dents au lavabo et se laver les pieds dans la douche en même temps ! C'est vraiment honteux de faire payer une telle chambre 160€ et se dire 4 étoiles (ils ont pu les avoir juste parce qu'ils ont un restaurant étoilé). Je ne parle pas non plus du check-out très amateur, un monsieur dégarni semblait découvrir son ordinateur pour la première fois. Un conseil rester restaurateur, chose que vous faites très bien, mais laissez l'hôtellerie à des vrais professionnels.
