Le Manoir au Château de Barbeville

Comfortable and welcoming property, very well equipped. Friendly owners. It was useful to have a washing machine and dryer, and we were delighted to spot a red squirrel on the terrace. We also liked the church next door and its bells-bells three times a day. Christian and Marie-Christine hospitable invited us for a drink and told us something about the history of the château, and provided a good breakfast for our first morning with bread, butter, jam, coffee etc. The most convenient supermarket is the Super U Express. Take the D613 towards Bayeux, across 2? roundabouts and it’s on the left.

We had a fabulous week at the Manoir. The house was beautiful and decorated in a classic French style. We had a welcome pack including the most beautiful wild plum jam. The kitchen has everything you need to make use of the superb local produce. The garden is such a relaxing place to sit and read and we saw lots of different birds as well as red squirrels. We enjoyed the market at Port en Bessin and the numerous attractions in Bayeaux. Christian and Marie Christian were superb hosts. They asked us into the chateau for a drink and a tour of the house. They could not have been kinder.

Charming cottage (converted coaching house) in the grounds of the beautiful Barbeville Chateau. Le Manoir is extremely spacious and equipped with antique furniture, paintings, books etc, including a downstairs entrance hall, kitchen, dining area and living room. It is set in lovely grounds which include a tennis court which our sons used. Le manoir is only a 5 minute drive from Bayeux, a lovely Normandy town well worth visiting for more than simply the tapestry. The coast and beaches are only 10 to 15 minutes away too. Christian and his family were lovely, unobtrusive hosts. A memorable stay.

A lovely house, beautifully furnished and very well equipped, our hosts so welcoming and helpful. There is much to see and do in this part of Normandy and such a pleasure to come back to this peaceful oasis and delightful garden.

Amazing stay in a wonderful environment. A charming house and garden, very close to Bayeux, ideally located for visiting Arromanches, Omaha Beach, while enjoying a preserved environment in the country side. The host have been very helpful and provided with very good advice.

We spent a week there with friends. Barbeville is the perfect place to relax after touring and sightseeing in Bayeux and Normandy. The Manoir is lovely ! It's just as described in the listing. Marie-Christine and Christian are very pleasant hosts. We had a great stay and will come back with our children. Highly recommended !

Beautiful property, nice and historic place very well maintained by Christian and Marie-Christine. We had an excellent stay, very close to visit d-day sites and memorials. Full of charm I strongly recommend!

I stayed at Barbeville with my family (wife and four boys) and had a fantastic time. The house is wonderfully quiet and well appointed with an excellent large garden including a tennis court, pet rabbits, swings, football goals which kept the boys fully entertained. There are many things to do locally (it’s possible to spend the whole week doing the WW2 beaches) including Bayeux museums (5 min drive), lovely beaches and countryside. Christian and Marie-Christine are perfect hosts, attentive in just the right way. We all had a great holiday and look forward to a return.

This is such a lovely authentic family home with the added bonus of the chateau gardens to enjoy. Christian and Marie-Christine are engaging and graceful hosts and fondly tell enchanting stories from the colourful past of the château. There's so much to do and see close by too.
