We had peaceful rooms with balconies that overlooked the garden with its antiquated crazy golf, view of pine trees, constant singing of birds and a red squirrel swishing about. Might be a bit hot in the summer with no air conditioning, but in April it was lovely. The sea is very close although you can't actually access it, but this is because of the enormous dunes, a feature of Les Landes. Went down to Biscarosse Plage, very close, for jumping about in the waves. Plenty of cafes. Vegetarian food is virtually unkown in Les Landes, but the hotel can rustle up pasta with pesto or tomato sauce if asked. Dining room pleasant, food good, staff helpful. The area is full of beautiful, unspoilt nature; good picnicking and paddling (we almost swam!) at Biscarosse Lac du Sud, and of course the amazing Dune du Pilat, the highest sand dune in Europe.
