Château de Bellefontaine

Veey cool property, buildings and accomodations. We stayed in the two bedroom apartment in the carriage house and the entire family loved it. It was a very quick ride, less than 5 minutes into downtown.

Lovely grounds! Spacious apartment. The only things I did not like was that we ran out of hot water. We are a family of 5. 3 of us could not take showers. Also we paid for breakfast, but they were out of eggs when we got there. Also there was a semi broken table in the room. Beds were comfortable!

Great place to stay - remarkably cheap too. We had a duplex family room in the annex next to the main building, but was very large, very well decorated and would have slept 5, with two bathrooms. You could walk into Bayeux if you wanted but it’s easier to drive into the city (5 mins max). Only point to note is that despite what it says on the hotels.com listing, there is definitely no swimming pool!

Gorgeous property. You felt like you were an honored guest at a summer garden castle. It was lovely sitting outside, relaxing, and having apéritives from the restaurant bar after a long, interesting but emotionally hard day of visiting the Normandy D-day sites. The view of the Bayeux Cathedral over the river that runs by the castle is beautiful. We also enjoyed a late dinner in the restaurant which was delicious and prepared quickly. We spent the late evening enjoying the way the gardens and chateau were illuminated.it was just a quick drive in the morning to see the Bayeux tapestry. We stayed in the larger Annex, which had a lovely garden view and tennis courts right behind a private patio. These rooms would be great for a small family if the children are old enough to use the stairs as it is on three levels. The bedding and beds were excellent. My only complaint is that the small couch in the upper room with the double bed was a bit dirty.

Overall lovely place to stay. Staff was great, breakfast good. Had dinner one night and it was good. Would be nice for family as there is a nice area for play. Also tennis court on the property. Not good if you want a lot of restaurants and shops close by. We were on the top floor and it was slightly musty smelling. The room and bathroom were quite large and comfortable.

Fabulous venue, great breakfast, beautiful place. Stunning and great location. Tennis court, play area for children, swings, seesaw, slide, goals for football, great play area with plenty of space.

Wonderful stay, amazing setting! Would stay again with the family
