"The staff were very helpful and kind"

"Lovely property close to center of town. The staff was friendly and helpful with suggestions for restaurants. "

"The hotel was very clean and the staff were so friendly and helpful! There was plenty of things to do in the area as well as restaurants. The hotel had a great bar as well! "

"The hotel is beautiful, in an old mansion that was once inhabited by writer Gustave Flaubert. The rooms were nicely sized, and room amenities (water, coffee, etc) were replenished everyday of need be. Staff were So friendly and helpful. Our only constructive criticism is that the WiFi was not very strong: it was in and out. However everything else was wonderful! "

"Great place. Pools are great. We love it"

"Very unique hotel! We got to stay in the "stables!" It was beautiful converted into a nice room for 3 with a kitchenette and it was very clean. Do make sure you request breakfast when you check-in for the next day if you will be wanting it. This needs to be "pre-ordered." We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here."

"Literally just back from a 2 night stay here and stayed in a family duplex since was for 4 adults which are on a separate block to the main house. Was a very nice stay overall, big spacious room with an additional upstairs double bed and bathroom, although just the one toilet for both floors. Lovely quiet grounds to sit in, fairly easy 20 minute walk into the middle of Bayeux and breakfast plentiful buffet style thing. I have an EV so perfect for me, arrived with about 40% battery and filled up for about £27 on the 22kw charger so happy days! Staff friendly so honestly no complaints from us. I would say breakfast is too expensive at €17 per person per night is my only observation."

"Could have done with tea making facilities in the room for the early morning cuppa "
