A restored 1920s redbrick home with antiques, a maritime theme, a wraparound porch, and a back garden that sits at the edge of the Gouffre River, Auberge à l'Ancrage is run by a charming couple who offer delicious, multicourse breakfasts and eagerly share information about activities and attractions in the area.
Two buildings in the village center make up this calm and romantic inn that's in a good location for exploring the shops and galleries. Newly renovated, some guest rooms, decorated in traditional or country styles, have whirlpools, fireplaces, and antique furnishings. They have 2 restaurants, one, Tavolo, that serves Italian dishes, and the other, Kahlo, which follows a Mexican theme, both housed in an elegant, Norman-style house that dates to the mid-1850s.
