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.

I opted for the 30 Euro menu that offered up oysters (which I love) as the appetizer, monkfish (which I also love) as the main and a dessert (I think I ordered creme brûlée). Everyone else had all sorts of interesting and delicious things (beef cheeks was one of them). Everyone was very happy with all of their choices. We enjoyed very good service from both the waitstaff and someone who I believe to be either the manager or possibly the owner. He took time to talk with us about the individual dishes and their preparation, recommending wines we might enjoy with our dinner, and other things we might like to do while in the area. It was a delicious and most enjoyable evening.

If you are traveling in Bayeux (and I know you are because the French don't usually use Yelp) eat here! The food is elegant, imaginative, fresh and local. The staff is charming and bilingual.

Welcome to this modern restaurant gussied up in an old building. Fancy wallpaper mimics aged…read moreplaster. There are lot's of windows which give this place a perennial sense of good cheer. Downstairs, you will find a pocket sized dining room overlooking diners outside at several additional tables in the shadow of the Cathedral. The second floor is accessible only by a ship's ladder and is compact without feeling cramped or crowded. (Think Chez L'Ami Jean in Paris and Cha Ca in Hanoi for that claustrophobic dining experience. Those are places where you all have to lift a fork and then chew in unison otherwise it won't work.) The Staff: Parlez only 5 words in French, even butchered French, and they will glow and shine with pride that you tried. Yes, both waitresses are harried going up and down those steep stairs all night like mad hamsters, but sit back and sip your Vin du pays (tonight, Merlot) and let the time tick. Wine and Aperitifs: There is ubiquitous selection of Kir this and that. A Cider or too (we're in apple country), and a tight wine list. In the USA "house wine" comes in a waxed box with someone's missing Step-dad pictured on the side. It usually has a shelf life equal to Uranium. In France the house wine is often the chef's favorite and an excellent choice. The French, bless them, do not abide poor wine. Here, the Merlot was as soft and dry as a toweled off baby after a tour in the tub. It was fit for Royalty, a royal wine snob, or anyone who simply likes things simple and good. The Vibe: Who goes there? Tourists who were underwhelmed with Le Pommier and thought they could do better. And we all did that here. So can you. The Food: There are Prix Fixe choices. All are beyond very reasonable and all different. Then there is a 4th menu offering you a choice of anything from the previous three menus in case you can't decide and finally there is an ala carte option. The Prix Fixe alternatives make the most sense and are the best value, so don't be that person. In the USA often the Blue Plate Special is usually a walk-in clean out. This is fairly priced fare in a country that isn't bashful about overcharging for chow. The Camembert Tart with Roasted Apples set on Puff Pastry positively oozed gooey cheese, melting like a suitor's heart. It was sweet, tart, and salty which are all fine attributes in a tarte, a tart and a significant other. It is accompanied by a perky simple fresh garden salad splashed with a light Vinaigrette. The Pork Pate masqueraded as Pate, but take off it's mask and you will find a wonderful Head Cheese. It had all the requisite piggy parts in gelatin. Blue Collar Pate it was and perfect for me. The pig doesn't grow it or own it that I won't eat it and like it. The key is to get the pig to stop wiggling while the chef helps himself to things the pig didn't want any more. Good for me. Then came the Skate Wing (how often do you see those?) My Wing was buried in butter and garlic and served with Sweet Potatoes piped into swirls, a pile-o-baby Vegetables all cooked al dente crisp along with a Spinach Timbale. Beautiful as a fashion show with each taste treat struttin' their stuff on the plate. The Chicken Fricasse with Frites, Baby Artichokes elevated Chicken to regal status. Braised in white wine it was stellar from it's thighs to yours. And in summation, there was a Apple Tarte with delicious house made Vanilla Ice Cream. (Good Vanilla Ice Cream is evidence that there is God. This Ice Cream made me a believer.) Both Ben and Jerry would commit crimes against nature in public to learn how to make this. The fresh Apples were cooked off until they were soft and then neatly arranged on a Puff Pastry tray that crisp and buttery. My evening began and ended with a tarte, so to speak, but I was happy to do my part. I ate it all and asked the four people at the next table if they were going to eat everything they ordered.
