Le Manoir des Doyens

We were greeted with a warm welcome by our host and were pleased to find the property motorcycle friendly with covered parking. The Manor House oozes character and even has its own museum dedicated to the D Day landings. It's a short walk into Bayeux with plenty of restaurants and of course the cathedral. Beautifully simple grounds. Lovely clean and comfortable accommodation. During our stay we visited the British war graves and museum which are both within walking distance and rode to the coast to visit the beaches which were quite stunning.

There's not much to say. We can't fault our say or host.

We loved our stay at Le Manoir des Doyens! Christine was a wonderful hostess and made us feel so welcome. She even prepared breakfast bags for us to take when we left early for our drive to Étretat. -Our room was lovely, and we especially enjoyed opening the windows each morning to listen to the birds singing - so peaceful and relaxing. The breakfasts were a treat every day, with thoughtful touches that made our stay feel special. -The Manoir is conveniently located and surrounded by so much incredible history, which made our time in Normandy even more memorable. We would absolutely stay here again!

Christine was warm and welcoming. A great host who went to lengths to meet our needs. Plenty hot water, fresh clean towels and linen. Really comfy bed. The manoir is very old and as such it has creaking floors etc, however, this only added charm to our stay. The location was great. Peaceful with a 10 minute walk into town. Breakfast was plentiful and fresh. We would love to return sometime.

There was nothing we didnt like. It was great

Breakfast was not available until 9 am; too late for me. Christine provided a breakfast to go, which was mostly industrial.

The heating was inadequate and the weather was cold. An electric heater provided was dead and did not function. It was replaced the next day with one that worked but which was noisy. My most severe criticism is the fact that the shower had a hand-held spray nozzle for which a wall socket was provided but it would not stay fixed in the wall. I had a pretty miserable shower, forced to hold the nozzle in one hand and scrub with the other. There is no excuse for that level of non functionality. Christine's cheerful character almost compensated for the short-comings, but not quite.
