La Rançonnière

Manor farmhouse close to Bayeux

Good at any time of the year, this justly popular 2-star hotel has been converted from a handsome 15th-century manor farmhouse just outside the hamlet of Crépon, a short hop from historic Bayeux. We like the traditional Norman cuisine with creamy sauces, served in the atmospheric restaurant with stone-flagged floors. Dinner is a 3-course meal with choice, while breakfast is an excellent buffet. Antique furniture, oak beams and exposed stonework enhance the well-appointed bedrooms located around the hotel's open courtyard. We also like the hotel's annexe, just 600 metres away, which offers some splendid larger rooms.
