Nuts & Bolts but a great place to sleep and relax. Walking distance (2 blocks) to all the great restaurants and shops. Bayeux is the PERFECT launch point for everything Normandy. If you're looking to see Omaha Beach and Point Du Hac stay in Bayeux. We booked a private tour through the Caen Memorial. We took the 7:00am train to Caen and met our guide. It was the perfect way to see everything.

Be aware that the hotel has no elevator and if your room is on the second floor, you will have to carry your luggage up a winding staircase.

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.

Overall an excellent value considering the service, setting, and accommodations.

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.

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.

You will definitely need a car to get to the property as well as for any touring you plan to do. It's about a 20 minute drive to Bayeux where most of the Normandy tours pick up/drop off. The restaurant is quite good as well - I thought the appetizer selection was especially outstanding!

Stayed here with a military tour group for several nights in April 2015. Accommodations were ok. My…read moreroom was facing away from the street, which was great, but the only view I had was of a large, broad roof. Seemed much more like a motel than a hotel. The chairs were at least comfortable to sit on in the evening and there was Wi-Fi in the rooms. The beds were typically European - narrow - and anyone travelling with room-mates will find the cramped quarters something to get used to. The hotel did feature an excellent lounge and restaurant on-site, and we had a free breakfast every morning - I believe set up especially for our group, so I don't know that all the guests receive this. It was set up in a meeting room. Breakfast was well done with the usual croissants, sausage/bacon, etc. The hotel also offered a catered French dinner for our group, as we were celebrating our final day of a 14-day tour. There were some interesting choices and nothing outstanding but I suspect also the tour organizers may not have paid for the top selections. Meal was good for what it was. A comfortable stay. As well, the hotel is walking distance from a shopping mall, the transit line, and a McDonald's. Staff I talked to were courteous and helpful.

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.

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.
