Absolutely delightful bed and breakfast that met every expectation of a Chateaux in Normandy. This is a storybook experience complete w a pony roaming the grounds. Breakfast was exceptional, and the hostess was absolutely charming and sweet, although she spoke zero English and our French is near zero. Highly recommend this lovely place

Zero complaints. A gym would have been nice but that was unlikely in this type of country manor. Close to Bayeax and Normandy. Everything creaked as you would expect but it wasn’t important.

The building is beautiful and the owner is extremely friendly (as other reviews note, only speaks very minimal English but was totally patient with our limited French!) Rooms were huge and quite luxurious (especially after staying in Paris right before!) The electric car charger worked great. This is super close to Bayeux (where the nearby restaurants are) and a short drive to D-Day beaches and museums. Mattresses (at least ours) were very firm which was fine for us but be aware if you have another preference.

The listing is unclear about whether breakfast is an additional charge - be aware that it is. It cost us about 90 euros for our family of 5 per day. We found the breakfast very good for our picky children because there was a variety of items, but we had thought the price was included in the room price we may have made other choices. The owner said "what time do you want breakfast" on check-in as though that's expected, without being clear about the extra cost (whereas at another chateau we stayed at later, the owner told us of the options up front).

We enjoyed our stay in this peaceful chateau near Bayeux. The setting is serene and beautiful. The view from both the front and back outdoor seating areas is lovely. Despite its stately appearance and antique furniture, the chateau has the feel of a home - complete with mismatched towels - rather than a formal hotel. The proprietor does not speak English - but understands a bit and is nonetheless helpful with reservations, etc. Between sign language, a translation app, and her experience and understanding in context, communication is possible. The property is family owned and operated, and Madam's granddaughter helps in the mornings and speaks some English. The chateau is a short distance into the country, and a car is very helpful - although taxis are available. It is a short and easy drive from Bayeux itself, and convenient to the D-Day locations. The rooms are large, clean and very comfortable; the bathrooms are spacious; the salons and outdoor spaces are comfortable and available; and breakfast was very nice, plentiful, and includes made-to-order eggs. We visited in June - when the garden peonies and roses were in bloom - and there were fresh flowers in the guest rooms and throughout the chateau. The property does not have an elevator, so luggage must be carried upstairs to the guest rooms. The staircase is marble, wide, and the steps are not steep, so it is easier to navigate with a suitcase than most hotels or B&B's.

The property was FABULOUS! Even better than the photos!! Rooms were gracious, very well-appointed and decorated. Staff was quite delightful and anxious to please! We enjoyed the breakfasts, the rooster, Shetland pony and bunny rabbit out in the stunning parkland!! Was very close to Bayeau and the D-Day beaches. VERY RESTFUL STAY, and wish we could have for another week!!

Can't think of a thing. Perfect days spent there.

gorgeous 19th century chateau just 10 minutes outside of Bayeux. couple that runs it is extremely pleasant (NB: they speak almost no English). Family suite was truly huge. Grounds were beautiful to walk, and the place is pin drop quiet.

Three caveats: 1. the beds are extremely hard. personally, I love that so I slept amazingly well, but those looking for a big soft bed would have a problem; 2. there did not appear to be air conditioning. again, not a problem when we were there because it wasn’t york hot in the evenings, but I would ask before I booked July or August; 3. water pressure was quite weak. All three of these are not a surprise in France, and to be clear, I would stay here again if we ever went back to Bayeux.

The breakfast was disappointing both mornings: Day #1) Although we came down at closing time, there really wasn’t much to enjoy. Other than a typical European selection, no American breakfast offered. The staff person chastised us for being late, was irritated, and anxious for us to leave. Day# 2) we were on time, but no help was around and the selection was much less than our first day. Breakfast needs dramatic improvements. Other than breakfast, we really loved the château, rooms, outdoor areas, etc.

Read about our breakfast suggestions above.

Classic French breakfast: fresh croissants with butter and jam, fresh whole fruits in season, thin sliced meats and cheese, yogurt with homemade granola, eggs were offered. Coffee delicious. Orange juice cold and fresh.

We had such a lovely stay at this beautiful chateau. A realy luxurious treat for our stay in Normandy. Despite the language barriers on both sides, our hostess was so helpful and accomodating. Really enjoyed it. Breakfast was superb!

My vegetarian boyfriend said he would have appreciated the option of an alternative to ham with breakfast (but that's us being very picky!)

Beautiful property and warm welcoming staff. Enjoyed our stay immensely. They were very kind and helpful in setting up a lovely birthday celebration for me and my father, catering a cake, champagne, and lovely flowers. It was a very memorable stay with family. Highly recommend!

The wifi was free, but the strength of the wifi signal could have been better.

The location outside the city was perfect. Even though out in the countryside the drive into the city was only about 5 minutes
