We stayed here 2 nights recently. I booked online a couple of months ahead.
We arrived in the late afternoon. You ring the bell at what appears to be the main door and the hosts are responsive. After you're let in, you use a different, more nondescript door, for entry/egress thereafter. This hotel has 4 rooms (2 per floor, on what in the U.S. would be the 2nd and 3rd floor). There is no elevator and the stone stairs are fairly narrow. That is not a criticism; I'd expect few if any guest-houses (and few hotels) in the area would have elevators. It is just something to be aware of if you are travelling with heavy bags. The hosts are willing to assist with bags, also.
Parking is on-street, just across the road from the hotel. It is parallel parking and first come - first served.
Breakfast is arranged with the hosts, usually from ~ 8 - 9:30 a.m. and served in the common room. Sandrine is a very good cook, and even makes the jams and yogurt herself! Breakfast when we were there was croissants/baguettes with jams, yogurt, and some sort of other baked item (and apple 'loaf' with caramel sauce, for instance; quite good). There is coffee and juice as well. If you are used to a more meat-centric breakfast (I am not), this one is more pastry-centric. We enjoyed the breakfasts.
The hotel (actually 'guest house', because the hosts live on-site) is an old house from the mid-1800s which has been completely renovated. It feels old, but in a good / historic way. The room itself was nice; we had a 2-room configuration (the 2nd room was quite small, but adequate for a bed for 1 person). The main room was sized well, and include a desk, wardrobe, and chairs. I don't recall noise being an issue (though I was jet-lagged the first night); Bayeux seemed fairly quiet. The windows from the main rooms overlook the road outside. Our room had a fantastic view of the cathedral from the bathroom.
The hosts can provide advice for Bayeux and side trips to the many WWII sites in the area. The hotel is a 3-block walk from the museum housing the Bayeux Tapestry, also.
The only issues we had were that, without actively consulting your maps-app on the phone, the hotel was somewhat difficult to find (there are likely ordinances limiting signage, and they *do* have a sign in the window, but we missed it). The location is about 2 blocks south of the cathedral, in case that helps. This isn't a complaint, but more advice to be more prepared than we were. Other than that, the WiFi upstairs was hit-or-miss; one evening it was great, but the next morning it was not great. The owners will be happy to reboot the router if notified, and the WiFi in the common room downstairs was solid.
I would stay here again if we returned to the area. read more
