You’re paying for the setting which is incredible and worth everything else. We were in the Joan of Arc annex which is not in the Mouton Blanc building and doesn’t have any of that character on the inside. In fact, besides the very unfortunate carpeting choice, the interior of the hotel room could be anywhere. The beds were very small and bedding was minimal. Not that comfortable. However, the room had an amazing sea breeze with bay view out one window and picturesque cemetery view out the other. Definitely the right move to come to Mont Saint Michele for a late dinner and enjoy exploring the island at sunset when there are fewer people and maximum spooky vibes for our teens. The church bells wake you at 8am. We saw the Abbey in the morning and then hit the road when the crowds descended.

Lovely, welcoming, helpful reception staff at the Terasse Poulard, room at the Mouton Blanc was great and spotless, and breakfasts at the Mere Poulard and La Confiance. Being someone with food intolerances, they catered brilliantly for me at both with plant milks and gluten free cereal, other options i could eat were available too. Unfortunately, the breakfast staff at the Mere Poulard, however did not seem to have the time or patience for me or anyone else asking them questions. I need to ask due to my intolerances and cannot consume caffeine for medical reasons, so with no decaf coffee readily available, i had no option but to ask if it may be possible. Checking on options for gluten free and dairy free products such as milk is a must for me everywhere i go. I dont ask these questions to be difficult or a nuisance. It is essential for anyone like me with intolerances and even more so with allergies.
