We went to see family at Notre Dame de Bondeville and certainly did not want to stay in Rouen! I get lost there on a good day
After a little bit of searching, I came up with this place and gave them a call direct. Good move, good price
Its run by a husband and wife team. The rooms are very comfortable; its very clean and tidy. There are 2 car parks, one to the front left side and a larger one around the back right side...but that's further away if you are carrying luggage
My partner had a decent lunch and when I arrived, we had a coffee and dessert in the dining room - very pleasant
And its quiet!!! We had a view over the garden but the road at the front doesn't have much traffic. Gil (husband) organised a taxi for us with one of his regulars. The guy didn't have his card machine with him - he said no worries, we didn't pay him and sorted out the bill when he picked us up to take us back...very trusting, especially these days!
They give you a code for coming back late, but Gil was still up & about and sorted out a large bottle of water for us
Very friendly, very welcoming
For those who want to break a long journey from the UK and or have kids - I used always to stop near Rouen on our way south. This absolutely fits the bill - and you get on your way very easily the next day as its so close to the motorway (allowing for a couple of dodgy signs as you are on the hill, which really make you think)
