What is not to like! A pleasure, from the beautiful facade, welcoming hospitality, incredible grounds and relaxed atmosphere. Well worth the stay if you just want to relax in the French countryside. If we were organised, we’d have brought our own little cheese platter to enjoy in the gardens.

FAQs about hotels in Normandy

Remembering the Past, Relishing the Present

Bordered by the English Channel, Normandy is a sleepy French region that sees many visitors arrive via its major seaports – Cherbourg, Dieppe, Le Havre and Ouistreham.

Between these last 2 is Deauville, home to some of the most exclusive Normandy hotels by the beach. Its pristine sands and international film festival have secured its prestige for the glitterati. The surrounding region of Calvados is famous for its cider and brandy, and Normandy also home to camembert cheese.

Calvados was also the site of the Allied landings and Booking.com has a great range of B&Bs and hotels near D-Day beaches. Caen, the Normandy capital, is a lovely city that houses the Memorial for Peace, a museum detailing the effects of conflict, and World War II in particular. North of here in Bénouville is Pegasus Bridge, while the D-Day beaches span from Ouistreham to Arromanches, home to another of Normandy’s WWII museums.

Inland is the Bayeux tapestry, a huge, hand-stitched depiction of the Norman conquest of England. Off the region’s western shores are the Channel Islands, while at its south-west corner are Avranches and nearby Mont Saint-Michel, accessed via a causeway.

Other Normandy attractions include Rouen, a historic city with colourful, half-timbered houses and an archaeology museum housing finds from the Roman amphitheatre down the Seine River in Lillebonne.

    The room was stunning and the views of Etretat from the cliff are just mesmerizing. We came for romantic holiday with my husband and stayed for 2 nights. Breakfast was lovely but you come to this place for the view and it exceeded my expectations so much! We also took advantage and went to jacuzzi at the top of the hotel and it was such an unforgettable experience. This place has my heart...I loved Normandie because we had such a lovely stay here! Thank you!

    Looking for the world of Petit Nicolas, when all of good old France wandered to the sea during les grandes vacances? Or where you lean out of the tiny window of your cosy tiny house on a full moon night, catching the silhouette of a Norman knight riding by the rolling hills? Do you want your child to tell stories like, "once we camped at a lake with a small island where the king of the sheep lives"? Go no further.

    The spa and pool were brilliant. Restaurant and bar were actually quite excellent and good value for high quality. Accommodation was great and location was ideal for our Normandy visit. Cabourg is a short walk away and has a great choice of restaurants. The architecture in the town is also fascinating if you like that kind of thing.

    The old city centre is beautiful.

    The old city centre is beautiful. The cathedral and the old churches are, of course, stunning but the modern St Jeanne d'Arc church is a must-see too for an impressive contrast. We also spent most of one day in the fabulous (free) Art Gallery. We walked around the city mainly (walking is the best way to see the beautiful buildings and quaint streets) but there are buses and a metro system for getting around too. The food we had everywhere was great and pretty good value for money.

    The Abbeys are stunning, the town is flat so easy to walk around. There are regular markets, the Sunday one we went to was quite big with lots of fresh food. The harbour is a nice spot with a line of bars and restaurants nearby, my favourite being an Irish bar (O'Donnells) for a well kept pint (or three) of Guinness!

    I was in Deauville for the Bridge Festival, so chose the location for that reason. However, I would say that some of the restaurants in Deauville are not great value or quality and prefer to eat in Trouville where there is better choice and value in my opinion. It is all down to personal taste, obviously many wealthy Parisians and foreign visitors like to be in Deauville, for the beach and top hotels. Relative to Trouville it is quite smart, but Trouville is more lively and overall more interesting. Next time, I will stay in Trouville although it is more of a walk to the casino.

    Beautiful town, great location to take a trip to Normandy beaches. The tapestries were moved to the UK and the Tapestry museum closed on Sept 1st for two years! Most restaurants were closed on Sunday and Monday and you definitely need a reservation for dinner if you want a good meal. some restaurants were closed on Tuesday too! If you take a full day tour of Normandy I would suggest staying the night at Bayeux because there is traffic at the end of the day heading back to Paris.

    We arrived in late afternoon at hotel and toured island first in evening hours - great idea as less crowded and still light enough to wander the streets and alleys. Toured the abbey the next morning - around 11. Already getting crowded - should have started earlier. But well organized and flows well within the Abbey. Well worth the visit to see this unique and historic structure - magical.

    Have been to Dieppe many times previously and love it. Lovely views, next to the harbour and sea, great choice of restaurants, although we are addicted to Le Tout Va Bien, which suits us perfectly. The only downside at the moment is that the main bridge for easy access to the sea front and harbour is closed. I gather work is 10 months behind schedule, and the tortuous diversion for motorists is very poorly signposted..:(

    Lovely, small seaside town. Lots of restaurant choice - our favourite was Le Clos Lupin, typical French, family run restaurant. Great cooking - we also rated Les Bel Amis amongst others. Most, if not all the local restaurants seemed to be family owned and run. No chains.

    Cherbourg is dominated by a huge harbour where your ferry comes in. The town itself is long from east to west, spreading out from the harbour. From north to south it is much smaller. The harbour area and the promenades are worth walking around and the central area at the Place Charles de Gaulle is the best area to relax in. It's also the ideal town from which to see other nearby attractions, such as a D-Day beach, the Bayeux Tapestry and Mont-St-Michel, all of which I visited. One word of warning - the French railway service isn't the best. The trains are subjected to many cancellations and delays and the ticket machines in the stations frequently refuse to give you a ticket! Railway problems aside, the town of Cherbourg and other parts of Normandy are worth a holiday and I'm so glad I went.
