Close to the town. Lovely comfortable room, very spacious with a good size bed and bathroom. There is a little fridge downstairs with drinks you can help yourself too and write down what you have taken for billing which isnt mentioned but we thought was lovely. Breakfast is great. The owner loves his cars so lots to talk about with my husband, overall very accommodating and plenty of good recommendations in the local area.

There was nothing I didn’t like

The property was beautiful, safe off road parking, well kept garden and swimming pool. Our room and the communal dinning areas were clean and beautifully decorated. Sandrine and Pascal were lovely hosts and do the best breakfast we had on our trip.

Be aware that the signage for the property is very discreet, but Google Maps took us to the door - it’s just not obvious.

A beautifully restored public building, repurposed as a bespoke guest house. Lovely period features and an Art Deco theme with lots of interesting touches throughout the house. Off road, private parking, a tranquil walled garden with swimming pool and easy walking distance to all Rouen’s amenities. The owners, Pascal and Sandrine were very welcoming and attentive and were able to offer ideas for dining out and sightseeing during our stay.

Nothing! Or maybe the fact that I don’t actually live there.

By far the most beautiful B&B I’ve ever seen, with the friendliest people and most delicious breakfast. I wanted to move in forever! Seeing if I can get myself adopted by Sandrine and Pascal. 😆

We spent a night at L'Esprit du 8 on our way to Northern Spain and received a warm and friendly welcome from our hosts Sandrine and Pascal, who went out of their way to make our stay comfortable and interesting. The property is cool and spacious with its own interesting history, and the lovely garden was the perfect place for our generous breakfast the following morning. Sandrine and Pascal sent us an online guide to Rochefort before our arrival which was a nice touch and extremely helpful for us, allowing us to book a restaurant for dinner in advance. L'Esprit du 8 is a gem - we were sorry our stay was so short and would love to return. Sincere thanks to Sandrine and Pascal!

Can't think of anything...

This is an exceptional chambres d'hotes, with carefully decorated rooms in a historic building. However, they are the hosts who make the difference. A place one must see. Breakfast was great and the facilities excellent.

The reception by the owners was great as was the room with a view over the garden. Huge room with great bathroom. Excellent breakfast. Good access to the tourist sites as well as the restaurants in the center of town.

Nothing is perfect but L'Esprit du 8 comes damn close as a hotel.

To qualify we have stayed in hotels across the world and in France in particular - we are not new to hotels. The entire experience of D'Esprit du 8 was unsurpassed as Pascal and Sandrine take extra steps to ensure comfort and happiness with a stay there. The rooms are fascinating and interesting, assisted by their passion for furniture and objet d'art. But without being overpowering, just a great quality of hotel. Only once before in our lives have we returned again to the same hotel but if we are ever seeking accommodation on the west coast of France, we shall be booking there.

We’ve just got married and are taking a mini moon through France. We have a large ranger rover, towing a trailer. The roads in the towns are small with tight parking but the owners of L,esprit did everything they could to help us get comfortable. Greeting us late in the evening and helping to park the car and the trailer. The next day we were up a little later as we have a baby and thought we had missed lunch but the hosts insisted we stay and made us breakfast even though we had missed the time.
