Reviews and Ratings
My stay was delightful, with spacious and well-decorated rooms but limited luggage space. The friendly staff provided excellent service throughout my visit. The hotel's location was superb for exploring historic sites, although dining was a bit pricey. The facilities offered were generally good, despite a few minor drawbacks.
The hotel offers comfortable rooms far removed from the usual hotel 'box' with excellent views over the farmlands. The service was pleasant and very helpful throughout our stay, and the on-site restaurant was outstanding. The location, surrounded by flowers and blending modern conveniences with old charm, was lovely but a bit out of the way for dining options. The dining experience was superb with delicious food, homemade jams, and fresh pastries. Overall, a delightful stay with exceptional service and a beautiful setting.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The room, although advertised as a small double, turned out to be very tiny and a bit oppressive. However, the old beams and cute window added a nice touch. The heating was great, and the bed was fantastically large with a good en suite. The service was friendly and helpful, especially accommodating my gluten-free needs. The location was excellent for exploring the D-Day Landing Beaches and Bayeux, but there was very little else around. The dining experience was pleasant with delicious food, but it felt a bit overpriced. Overall, a comfortable stay with some room for improvement.
The hotel is a charming Normandy-style Manor house, offering comfortable rooms far removed from the usual 'box' hotels with a fantastically large bed and a good en suite. The service was pleasant and very helpful, maintaining the property's roots. The location blends modern conveniences with old-world character, surrounded by tranquil countryside close to historic Normandy landmarks. The dining experience was excellent, with homemade jams. Overall, a delightful and authentic stay with great value for money.
