We just spent two nights at Les Pilotes in beautiful St Valery sur Somme. We found the hotel by pure chance and how lucky we were. The rooms are beautifully and creatively decorated with a superb view of the Bay and the estuary. Everything has been thought out with great care, down to the wool blanket on the bed and... More

As others have said, Les Pilotes reopened towards the end of 2012 under new ownership & after a refurbishment. The decor is somewhat quirky but it's fun - first time we've seen a carpet pretending to be floorboards! As has already been noted, the quirkiness extends to a full-length clear glass window between the bedroom & bathroom, which means the... More

Recently opened, this hotel must become the place of choice to stay in delightful St Valery. The decor in the bar and reception areas uses unusual wallpaper and quirky design touches. The hotel featured in the spring edition of Coté Ouest, the French design magazine. Our bedroom had a minimalist touch with grey walls that helped reflect the wonderful luminosity... More

A stylish recently refurbished hotel with very pleasant and helpful staff / owners. The bedroom was not large but had everything we needed including a comfortable bed, lovely linen, and tea / coffee making facilities. The shower area was "open-plan" which was unusual but didn't trouble us. The view from our second floor bedroom over the bay was superb. Breakfast... More

We had breakfast here one morning. The view is fabulous and the decor is charmingly retro. The staff were very welcoming and pleasant. Breakfast not as expensive as some other hotels. We did not stay here - but wish we had!

Yes, ignore the old reviews, this hotel was refurbished this year and opened its doors in July this year. Some of the rooms were completed only 3 weeks ago.!! The staff are really friendly and helpful. The breakfasts were delicious with lots of different pastries, yogurts from a local farm, locally made jams, ham, cheese and good coffee. We had... More

After a mix-up in our booking at a nearby hotel we found ourselves at Les Pilotes. The welcome we received was first class despite the fact that we were probably inconveniencing the owners who were putting the finishing touches to an extensive refurbishment. Firstly, the decor - I would call it ironic-retro and it's fun! Clearly, a lot of money... More

Friendly couple, great views and lovely food, but, the rooms are in need of a revamp and soundproofing while you're at it! Had a very sleepless night, at one point I could hear the man in the room next door and one across the corridor snoring.... and every time someone used the bathroom... you get the picture. Partly due to... More

The hotel was recently purchased by a young energetic group of 5 from Paris. The location captures the essence of the estuary with gorgeous views and a juxtaposition to the water. The hotel has started to remodel. The restaurant has a new fresh and regional menu which echoes the way of life in St. Valery. By the way, this is... More
