The Attic Rooms
Sloping pine boards, gable windows, and the steepest stair in the house.
A house built in pieces over two centuries does not give you identical rooms.
There are four kinds, named after the part of the building they sit in. Each page below says how big the room is, which way it faces and how many stairs stand between it and the desk.
The Street Rooms
The tallest ceilings, facing Rue Haute and the morning light.
The Courtyard Rooms
Over the yard, away from the street, one with level access.
The Composing Rooms
In the shop wing, on the floor where type was set by hand.
Before you choose
The house has no lift. It was built before anyone in Honfleur had heard of one, and the stairwell is too narrow to fit one now. Staff carry bags up for you at any hour, so the stair matters more for knees than for luggage.
Courtyard room 3 is on the ground floor with a level path from the street door, a wide shower without a tray and grab rails by the bed and the basin. If a step is a problem, ask for that room by number.
- Linen sheets, changed every third night or on request
- Shutters or heavy curtains in every room
- A kettle, Norman tea and ground coffee
- Wi-Fi from the attic to the yard
- Windows that open, all of them
- A printed tide table under the door at seven
Nothing is booked through this website. Write to the desk or ring it, say which kind of room you would like and for which nights, and the answer comes back from a person, usually within the day.
Play happens in a single room of this house, the loft over the old shop, and in no other place. The Printed Room takes no bets online, opens no player accounts and handles no payments through this website.
