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.

Wished I had booked two nights as returning to add a night online a bit later revealed they were fully booked. The hotel is lovely in its decor and design. The room was generously sized and lovely.

They got to know us in just a couple days and made every restaurant reservation for us. Just off the lobby is a small bar that is well stocked and managed by the front desk. Seating there is comfortable. The breakfast is plentiful and excellent. As for the rooms ... we could not believe how spacious, comfortable, quiet and pleasant in terms of temperature they were. The beds were also excellent and the bathrooms spacious. We were totally blown away by the quality. To top it all off, the location is perfect. Just a few blocks from the city center, and as a result many restaurants. We never had to walk more than 10 minutes any evening for our dinner reservations. And, even the Bayeux Tapestry is just a few minute walk. I have absolutely nothing negative to say about his hotel in any way. If you are visiting Bayeux, stay here.

There's also an outdoor pool area which we didn't sample as autumn was fast setting in. A very comfortable bar, perfect for an aperatif or dígestif as, unfortunately, they don't serve dinner. Our room was at the top of the original house up a spiral staircase so if that's an issue, let them know. As a base to explore the Normandy beaches and nearby Bayeux it can't be bested. We stayed five nights and ranged up and down the coast every day. After a long day's sightseeing, it was a relief to return for a verre de Vin blanc or a kir. Good value too for what we got. Would stay again in a heartbeat.

Tv , it on the wall with no signal. Front desk came up and re attached the cable. still not a good signal. So to recap so far if your looking for somewhere comfortable, this may not be your place, if you hav any kind of handicap , this may not be your place, if you are going to do some business on your phone or laptop prepare to be disappointed. I do not take accessibility lightly, and to have an elevator go to floor 1 so you can climb 6 stair is a crime. Bath tubs with no grab bars, able bodies would struggle getting in. I read a review use the word quaint, that person needs to buy a dictionary.. On the up side the place has a bar, that helped a lot. The breakfast was good quite an assortment. I did not like the coffee machine press buttons to high tech. I do not like leaving a negative review but I really think this place earned it. I've stayed in better hotel 6s. Parking is available at 13 euros it would be nice if they said something when we checked in, it may have been full. would i go back?, no.

The largest and most intricate gardens of any of the chateaus in the valley. Some of them are flowers and shrubs, others are fruit-bearing plants, but they're all beautiful. The interior of the chateau, don't get me wrong, is quite nice as well. Several rooms are intricately detailed, but the gardens are the big draw here. A nice touch, there are a couple boutiques where you can buy souvenirs, of course, but one of the boutiques is geared towards gardening, which is very on brand for this chateau. Also nice, you can buy seeds from the gardens for your home garden, very nice touch! If you're planning to travel here and have a home garden, look into your country's laws regarding bringing home seeds as that could be quite the nice souvenir.

Just a couple miles outside of Bayeux, a great pool, sauna, exercise room and jacuzzi will relax you after a day of touring the D Day venues. This chateau is maybe a 20 min drive to the American cemetery at Omaha Beach which is profoundly moving, don't miss it. We were taken care of in style, these are hospitality experts, and they made us feel welcome. This is not a flip-flops/cutoffs hotel. This is class. The main chateau was a German general quarters during WWII, but it dates back more than two hundred years. The rooms are large and comfortable, our room was in the mews, with a large private patio, and very close to the heated pool. As the saying goes, you get what you pay for, and we were very pleased with our three night stay at Chateau Sully.

If you're looking for the "french" experience, warts and all then this hotel is for you. It looks…read morelike it hasn't been reviewed in three years, so here I go. Its location is good for touring all the normandy sites and museums. You have to have a car as there's nothing you can walk to. Its very charming and the grounds are beautiful. They have adequate parking, a tennis court and a playground. I definitely would not bring children here as the rooms are small and there are lots of uneven stone stairs. They speak limited english at reception and none in the bar and restaurant. We arrived a few hours before checkin and thought we could have lunch at the restaurant as other people were there. But no they said they were not serving lunch but we could purchase a charcuterie plate. That charcuterie was the best thing about our stay! Fresh bread, meat and cheese with dried fruits and butter. I asked about dinner reservations for that night and they said no, they were full. The restaurant basically caters to the locals and they don't accommodate their hotel guests at all. I felt like I was in Paris with how curt they were with us. We ended up only eating on the property for breakfast which was very good. The room was very small and theres no air conditioning or fan so I would not stay here in the summer. Its a very old stone building with thick walls so we were ok. There was one small window you could open but no screen. The bed was comfortable. Theres a safe but no frig. The bathroom was also very small but the tub was huge. Very clean rooms. I ordered room service one night and it was laughable. I ordered fried chicken with potatoes and vegetables (thats exactly how it was worded on the menu) what I got was a small bowl of soup. So don't bother with room service unless you order a charcuterie board. We bought a bottle of wine to drink and I had to ask at the bar for an opener, the bartender told me I had to drink it in my room! Ok just another instance on how off putting the staff is here. So in review, 1.not a great place for children or elderly people who may have mobility issues, 2. don't expect to get any food here unless you're French. And don't order room service 3. Look at the square footage of the room before you book it. 4. Bring your own shampoo,conditioner etc. 5.ask for extra towels as they skimp on them in the room. 6. Dont stay here in the summer heat. Picture of my "fried chicken" room service in pics.
