In an historical monument: Farm Manor in Bayeux

Important to know: This property has only TWO actual bedrooms, plus fold-out couches in living areas, one of which you have to walk through to get to the kitchen or toilet, with no doors. The other is in a great room that is also the dining room. Though it's not mentioned anywhere, I was told that we somehow should have known to tell them we wanted an additional bed made up for one of our teenagers so they didn't have to share a room. In all the numerous apartments our family has rented, all bedrooms listed in the description were available to us, so we were surprised to find only two prepared for us. Even more surprised to be told we'd done something wrong when the description isn't accurate.This is a very beautiful property with a great deal of charm. However, it's been furnished rather cheaply, with many low-quality items in poor condition, and an oddly stingy allotment of pillows -- one thin, small pillow per person. When I located additional pillows in a closet and asked for pillowcases for them, I was told it was an outrageous request, that no one should need more than 1 pillow! Also note if you're with a larger group that there is only one shower, which unfortunately didn't drain while we were staying. The other bathroom has a handheld shower and tub.It's a very lovely property, but don't expect what you'd normally find in highly-rated listings. It's too bad, as some simple upgrades could make this a much more pleasant and comfortable place to stay.

We loved this place!! Absolutely stunning grounds! Nice to have two bathrooms for our group of 5!! Bayeux is charming!! When we come back, we will definitely stay here again!!

The Highlight of Our Stay in Bayeux My only regret booking this farmhouse was that I didn't stay there longer! The short walk to the train station and the center of Bayeux made it perfect for getting to and from tour meeting spots and eating or exploring in our free time. Despite the beginning of a heatwave during our stay, the house stayed cool enough at night to comfortably sleep, and the gardens provided plenty of shade and a nice breeze; I wish I had time to have a picnic!While I didn't get to meet Christophe myself, he spoke to one of my family members and they had nothing but good things to say. If I ever have the chance to visit Bayeux again, I'll be booking a room here!

Beautiful and unique This property is stunning! A 17th century French Chateaux with walled courtyard and modern accommodations all within walking distance of Bayeux city center. Our host Christophe was gracious and kind, personally welcoming us on arrival. My children had a blast picking and eating cherries from their trees. My wife and I enjoyed a quiet walk in the well manicured garden. Our accommodations were spacious and comfortable. Perfect for a family of four but can accommodate more on a rollout couches in common areas. Overall an unforgettable and relaxing stay.

Amazing Location - Will be back! For 30 years we have been talking about taking a guy's trip to the WW1 and WW2 key western front battlefields. We (3 of us) could not have asked for a better place to stay during our 4 nights in the Normandy region. Bayeux is central to all of the landing beaches and an amazing city. The cathedral and restaurants are just a short drive from the property. It is amazing the work that work that Christophe and his family have done to the property over the past 25 years. The 1600s cider press next to the VRBO part is an amazing piece of well preserved history of the region. If you visit, definitely enjoy some local cider. We will be coming back in the next year or two with the wives for a few days just to have them experience this amazing place. We traveled from Florida, Georgia and Colorado, USA.

Amazing value Absolutely beautiful property within walking distance of Bayeux. Very quiet. We had a dead battery on our rental car and the owner pitched in to help us get it going. I definitely recommend this property.
