This was our 3rd stay at the Manoir du Quesnay (twice as a couple and once with our two girls)…read more Jacques and Alix run a world-class B&B. The Manoir has several rooms in the main house as well as several more in the "boat house". Its location is perfect to visit all of the northern coast sites and is easy to find. The staff is very efficient and quality oriented. Everything in and around the Manoir is clean and well kept. On several occasions I have asked for restaurant recommendations and every time we have been very impressed with the food. I can say that Jacques and Alix are always prepared to provide recommendations for a day trip, all of the details and even make reservations for you if recquired. Just minutes to the town of Bayeux (and the famous Tapestry) or all of the Normandy WW2 sites/Museums/Cemeteries. Easy Drive to Mont St. Michael and the beautiful coast of norther France. Just ask Jacques and he will gladly be your tour designer, answering questions, providing historical context, providing maps, making great suggestions, etc. If you are a Band of Brothers fan, you are very close to all the key areas of the 101st airborne activities from D-Day (episodes 2 and 3). Carentan and Brecourt Manor are just a short drive away. There is also a number of monuments and museums that honor those great men. If you are a fan of Saving Private Ryan then you have all of the cities and sights all within easy reach. The opening and closing scene were shot in the American cemetery in Coleville. An absolute must see. I cannot say enough about how much we love staying at this B&B. I do not think you can find a better combination of location, quality and people anywhere in France. This is a must stay if you are headed north of Paris.

Driving by, saw smoke and a line and then a lamb doll sign. How can you not stop?…read more Please be aware, I'm not fond of lamb usually but I figure when I'm in region of Le Grèvin, you gotta try the lamb! Lamb chop ( Agnean de pré-sale) - Came with 3 pieces which was 3 parts of the lamb, shoulder, rack and don't know the 3rd. Rack and shoulder was tender. Not the 3rd but it taste very good. Not gamey at all! It's done pretty natural, you will need to add salt and pepper got seasoning. Lamb spicy sausage set - The sausage was not that spicy but a little bit of a kick. Not gamey at all but you can taste the lamb. All in all, we enjoyed the meal and the experience. €27 for 3 small pieces of meat is expensive compared to a upscale restaurant we went to near Mont St. Michel (15 minutes away) but the quality is good, it's fresh and it was an enjoyable experience at a roadside BBQ place. Kir Breton cider - excellent cider. Kind of like a sweet bubbly apple juice

Excellent place to stay and take in Bayeux France. We had the Noble Guesthouse and it was a…read morespacious 2 bedroom place for our family to stay a few days. Everyone had a place to stay, hang out, or get some space. The staff were extremely helpful and friendly - making us feel at home. Their morning breakfast was top notch. The chapel, restaurants, cafe's, and sights are all within walking distance. This is a place that reminds you the history that permeates France with buildings that are hundreds of years old (but don't look shabby) and a friendly atmosphere. If you are planning on exploring Normandie you can base out of here and be within 1-2 hours of everything.

This "guesthouse" is way beyond a bed and breakfast. Check out the photo of their entrance…read more We stayed here as our base for exploring Normandy. It worked perfect. Much of Bayeux was walkable from here, and driving to the American and British beaches was very manageable. You can see the entrance to the museum with the Bayeux Tapestry from their front door. Restaurants we planned to taxi to were walkable. The facility is a several century old mansion, totally renovated by the architect owner who has done everything first class. Our room was huge, everything was new, and everything worked. The staff was outstanding in their efforts to accommodate a couple Americans. Breakfast equaled the facility - in a formal dining room setting and with an extensive selection. I would recommend Hotel Tardif Noble Guesthouse to anyone, whether they're five star hotel people or campers.

I can recommend this lovely place in Normandy to all my friends. It is situated at not yet 20…read moreminutes cycling from the coast and at a short drive from many historical places you ought to visit. The welcoming by Marc and Laurence was warm and friendly and I should not forget Oscar, the very clever and kind dog who watches over the premises. We felt very safe. The rooms are spacious, clean and cosy. They have a double and single bed. There is a separate common room that serves as a kitchen and there is a little fridge and microwave you can use. Perfect if you want to have your lunch or dinner "at home". In the morning you get served breakfast: coffee, tea, fresh made apple juice and a choice of home made jam you can add to the typical French bread we love so much. If you are still hungry you can treat yourself on the typical Norman cake. While having breakfast Marc will reveal you some interesting topics of the history or give you tips and advice of places you should not miss. This is why we went to Bayeux to visit the tapestry with the history of William the Conqueror and Harold the betrayer. If Marc wouldn't be running a little farm and guesthouses, he sure would be a guide or a history teacher. Laurence is a lovely host, friendly and kind. We really felt at home the moment we set foot in that lovely garden. I loved the flowers, the roses... everything breathed hospitality. The lovely garden was inviting and so we ended up several evenings with the other guests to spend a nice evening together. I sure would love to go back again... rather sooner then later. We feel lucky to have picked out this B&B. It must have been good fate. Price/quality it is a really good deal. Best way to make a reservation is to write them an email. They manage English enough to help you out.

I absolutely love this place! Glenda and Steve are wonderful hosts. They speak English and…read moreFrench. It was so nice to meet a local who speaks English and could gives us recommendations for where to visit. The room was comfortable and had a private bathroom with a shower. Very clean. We had plenty of privacy. And I have never been anywhere that was so quiet and peaceful. I actually slept all the way through the night every night we were there, didn't wake up once. It was also nice to be able to sit in the yard and relax between tourist stuff as a change of pace, away from everything. The location is great. It's just a few minutes from Pontorson and just a few more minutes to Mont St. Michel. It also worked out as a great place to explore Normandy and Brittany, as we were able to easily drive to Omaha Beach for the American WWII Memorial (and D-Day beaches) and to Cancale via the coastal highway for some amazing (amazing!) seafood. Glenda had a nice breakfast spread for us every morning, including croissants, chocolate filled pastries, yogurt, a variety of toast with homemade jams (delicious), fresh fruit, juice, and coffee or tea. The price can't be beat, just remember it's cash only. And you better book long in advance because they get plenty of visitors. And just a word of advice, if you are flying back to the USA after visiting here, it might be a good idea to stay away from the animals because you could have a hard time getting through customs (and don't step in anything!). Just one more thing...Glenda and Steve are two of the most wonderful people I have ever met! It may be awhile until our next visit, but we will be returning to La Petite Chesnee the next time we go to France.
