Escapades en Normandie chez Mis Harand - Deluxe Quadruple Room (Van Gogh)

Auch mit Navi war das Hotel nur schwer zu finden. Die Zufahrtsstraßen und Wege waren auch für das Nvi ein Problem. Es liegt Mitten in der bäuerlichen Einöde der Normandie, ca. 35 km südlich von Bayeux. Das Hotel wirbt mit 5 Sternen. Das ist schon sehr selbstbewusst. Genau genommen ist es ein altes Bauernhaus, in dem zwei Zimmer für Gäste gestaltet sind. Ich würde es als Unterkunft mit 2 Sternen bezeichen, eher Bad Breakfast (chambres a l'hote). Die Einrichtung war zweckmäßig gemischt. Der Empfang aber war herzlich, das Frühstück individuell gestaltet und liebevoll zubereitet. Menschlich gut 5 Punkte. Für Besucher der allierten Geschichte ist das Haus eine sehr intetessante Grundlage. Die Eigentümer haben viele aus der Zeit um 1944 gesammelt.

Very friendly host couple, and the kids loved the Big pool, when we returned from sightseeing in the afternoon. A bit of the beaten track through, when we had to go to dinner in the evening.

We stayed with Jenny and Chris en route from Spain to the UK. Being ex-military I have always been absorbed with the 2 world wars. For several years we have toured the Somme and Ypres but this year we wanted to tour the Normandy landing beaches. What a gem of a find for accommodation. Jenny and Chris live in a beautiful, characteristic farm house, it ouses the charm of its hosts. Their house is out in the wonderful French countryside but is within striking distance of all of the D Day Landing beaches, especially Aromanches and the Bayeux Tapestry. And so to the Hosts Jenny and Chris. They are so welcoming and extremely personable. They provide a wonderful continental type breakfast with lovely home cooked additions such as Jenny’s savoury muffins and homemade marmalade. Chris is a veritable walking almanac of everything D Day. This is not an exaggeration in fact from Chris it is very under stated. However, he provided us with superb itineraries and a great deal of local knowledge. We were the last guests of their season but we had a welcome freshness as if we were their first. We enjoyed their company, over a glass of wine, and some dubious local brews provided by Chris, each evening of our stay. If you are wanting to tour the D Day Landing beaches in Normandy then staying with Jenny and Chris is the perfect location.

We stayed 4 nights in this BB during our vacation trip to Normandie. It is located in the countryside not far from Bayeux. Friendly welcoming hosts who provided helpful information e.g. about Omaha Beach and other surrounding attractions. It suited us well to be able to communicate with our hosts in English since our French is poor. Nice breakfasts. We would love to come back any time.
