White chalk cliffs and natural stone arches create a dramatic backdrop for hiking along Etretat's coastal paths. Take photos of the famous Needle rock formation at low tide, then explore the clifftop gardens for panoramic views.
The property was clean, well maintained, and very unique. The house is 180+ years old (I think that is what we were told) and is utterly charming. I wish we could have stayed more than one night. The breakfast, while not included, was quite good.

This was by far the best hotel/ bed and breakfast my wife and I stayed in, on our current trip. Eric the owner of the hotel is a very warm, welcoming and a wonderful host. Our room was huge and beautifully appointed. The property is lovely. Breakfast was just great in every way. We only stayed one night and I wish we booked it for a longer stay. Eric recommended 3 different restaurants in town and as we entered the restaurant we picked, and told the host that Eric from New Cottage recommended...

Magical stay!
Our favorite stay during our trip to France by far. The property is a traditional family home in a quaint village near Étretat.
After parking under a cherry tree brimming with fruit, we walked to the front door were our hostess greeted us warmly and showed us to our room in the most painless check in process I’ve ever experienced.
Our room was beautifully decorated and spotless. It was comfortable and spacious with lots of windows opening up into the gorgeous front...

Sabrina and Vincent were wonderful hosts in their charming house! Located in a quiet coastal neighborhood on the Normandy coast, it is a brief drive to both Étretat and Fécamp. They made me feel very welcome when I arrived, and my room was wonderfully decorated in a beach motif and was spacious, comfortable and clean. The main/breakfast room was warm and welcoming with an inviting French country charm and breakfast was a nice array of meats, cheeses and breads. All in all it was a wonderful...

A beautiful guest house a few streets away from the beach in the middle of a quaint town. Walking distance to great restaurants, boutiques and bakeries. The host family is extremely friendly. The house is grand and it has an amazingly landscaped yard that's like an oasis with very hard to find parking spaces in the town of etretat. Highly recommended.

Very interesting hotel, just make sure to checkin within the specified time. We made a mistake by checking in late, but overall great hotel to try. Its family owned with optional breakfast. Great for people traveling in a car.

A lovely hotel on the hill with great views and a comfortable bed. Room was clean, staff friendly and helpful, parking was great, we didn’t try the breakfast so can’t comment on that. Note - if you want to go into town for a lighter breakfast/coffee - be aware that most places don’t open until 9 or 10am.
Beautiful spaces through the property. 15min walk to town, restaurants, beach & hikes.
Lots of stairs (no elevator) so if accessibility is an issue this might not be the place for you.
