Le Manoir au Château de Barbeville

We have just returned home after a week staying at Le Manoir, Chateau Barbeville, Bayeaux. A family of 4 adults and two children aged 5 and 7. Such a quaint old property set in large gardens close to Bayeaux. The house is very spacious and extremely characterful with many interesting paintings on the walls. Lovely lighting in the Salon with comfortable chairs and sofas, although we spent most of our time outside as it was very hot. We ate all our meals outside enjoying the sunny weather. The children and adults all enjoyed playing tennis, table tennis, trampolining. A great place to stay!

We had a fantastic week at Barbeville! The grounds were brilliant for our 5 and 7 year olds, trampoline, football, tennis court and ping pong table. Bayeux is a lovely town and lots of other lovely places to visit - Sunday market in port en Bessin perfect for a Saturday arrival! Madame and Monsieur Delecourt were very welcoming and it was lovely to have a drink with them at the castle and learn about the history . The breakfast hamper provided was perfect. Comfortable beds and nice facilities, great to have a washing machine and well provisioned kitchen! it was lovely eating outside. Thank you

We had a wonderful few days at the Manoir. It is beautiful, elegant yet homely, and very comfortable. Hosts Christian and Marie-Christine could not have been more welcoming, generous and helpful. We had a very enjoyable apéro in the Château towards the end of our visit, and so much-appreciated breakfast hamper for the first morning. It is s tranquil place, yet with easy access to Bayeux, whose shops, cafés, cathedral, and, of course, tapestry are really worth exploring. The only possible drawback was church bells at 7.00 am, which may not be to everyone's taste, but were quite inoffensive.

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.
