Dormy House Review

Ideally located halfway up the Étretat cliffs, this smart, modernish hotel enjoys a spectacular perch amid acres of manicured cliffside parkland—the guest rooms are simple and comfortable (refurbished in 2012, some with parquet flooring), but the real beauty is right outside your bedroom window, thanks to views of la mer, so wonderful they would have Debussy humming in no time. The largest room is known as the Chambre Directoire. The gastronomic restaurant specializes in fresh fish and seafood platters, ranging from simple delights such as the sole stew to the full-scale symphonie of fish. Request a table near the window for a panoramic view of the coast.
