Cottage & Spa in Le Domaine du Manoir XV century, Bayeux, Normandy landing beaches

From the moment we arrived until the moment we left the owners and family were lovely and made sure we thoroughly enjoyed our stay at their property. When we arrived their daughter and husband who both spoke good english were there to greet us and explain everything. We were a family of six ( grandparents, son and wife and 2 teenage children ) .The property provided bedrooms on two floors with the groundfloor bedroom next to the spa which included a comfortable seating area. The kitchen and living facilities upstairs, although adequate, could do with improving. All features as described on the Homeaway site were accurate. The spa was a real bonus especially in the evening after a long day out. The outside area was private with plenty of sun lounges, table and chairs and a great barbeque. We were a little concerned about taking the children on a tour of the D day landings but they thoroughly enjoyed it. You are close to all main sites. There are plenty of safe beaches where you can swim.

Bayeux has a large range of restaurants but beware they do close early.

Overall a 5* experience

This is a beautiful, historic property that is updated to satisfy the needs of contemporary travelers. We stayed as a family of four (two adult children). We appreciated the rural setting (apple orchard, stone walls, fields, chickens), but the location is only about a ten minute drive from Bayeux and convenient to the D-Day sites. The hosts are gracious and welcoming. And the hot-tub was a plus after a long day of sightseeing.

We absolutely loved our six days in this beautiful gîte tucked away in a picturesque Calvados village. The icing on the cake - the simply amazing jacuzzi just for us.

The gîte is set in lovely grounds and the only sounds are from the hens. A car is essential and Bayeux with its tapestry and massive cathedral is about 4 miles away.

Just returned from having spent a week in this absolutely amazing accommodation. Would totally recommend this to anyone requiring a peaceful and tranquil environment but with the added bonus of beautiful accommodation and a Jacuzzi for the use of this Gite only!! Ideally located for visiting The D Day beaches and museums and 10 minutes from Bayeux. We had a fabulous time and will be returning!

Our family of 5 was extremely happy to stay in this quiet, pastoral setting. The jacuzzi was a nice bonus after exploring the area. The expansive yard was great for the kids to run around in the play structures a welcome diversion. The hosts were welcoming and warm and very flexible. The kitchen was well equipped and the beds were very comfortable. Thank you!
