Ferme de la Rançonnière

Great !

Staff and food were amazing.

Stayed four nights while touring Normandy. Quiet rural area; close to the D Day beaches and Bayeux with restaurants is 20 minutes away. We got the original master’s suite which was huge, quiet, appointed with antiques, frr we may like living in a castle. Rather dark. No elevator - stone steps to get in the front door and thankfully up just one marble staircase, with heavy luggage. No fridge in room. TV not connected to internet. When my husband asked at front desk about getting ice, he got a puzzled look and was told to try the bar. Polished but unfriendly front desk. Not there to help. No one on premises after 11 PM. Only dining options are the expensive buffet breakfast, fancy restaurant got dinner that opens at 7 PM, or the bar which is large and cozy and has charcuterie boards you can order. So, getting food in this remote town is an issue (No eateries in village of Crépon). Plan wisely. It’s a beautifully restored historic old manor house, The service and amenities however do not make it a four star hotel.

Beautiful historic property and friendly efficient staff

We arrived after several days of busy travel to a restful paradise! The architecture immediately started relieving the stress of travel and the beautifully maintained grounds and peaceful atmosphere helped us regain a sense of peace in the busy hustle and bustle. Would definitely recommend for anyone wanting to get away from stress and just breath freely for a few nights. We felt completely safe the whole stay and were treated with great kindness and deference.

Beautiful property and comfortable rooms. Loved the ambiance and friendly staff!

Beautiful property. The restaurant is superb. It’s very easy to take an UBER into Bayeaux where you can walk, eat, shop, and visit the beautiful cathedral.

Beautiful property, great restaurant, and unique and well appointed room. Recommended.

Beautiful hotel, however staff need training in service and managing guests. The front desk called my room as a complaint was made about my children walking around by the guests below, at 10am. It is no one’s fault if floor boards creak and I think this is a reasonable time for people to walk around. I am not sure quite what the staff wanted us to do, other than be still. Disappointing service. Does not make this a ‘family-friendly’ hotel.

Absolu

Overall this hotel was fabulous! We used it as a base to explore WW2 sites and was very easy to get around the Normandy coast. Large, comfortable rooms with top notch amenities. Hotel staff was super friendly, engaging and helpful. The restaurant was excellent with a varied range of food options and reasonably priced for the great quality. WiFi was excellent!

Wonderful place. Exceptionally friendly staff. All of them made us and our dog feel like family. Each dinner were excellent, ever single course. Great bar with a very nice selection of drinks. Could not have been happier. Thank you.

Great historical property lovingly restored. Friendly attentive staff. We had a great room.

Amazing historic property with a wonderful restaurant. Highly recommend

This hotel was a wonderful, historic property in a beautiful country setting. The staff, room and food were all first rate.

Close enough to important sites and museums we wanted to visit but far enough from crowds and congestion. Accommodations were superb and food was delicious. Staff was very attentive in a non-obstrusive way.

A terrific hotel, really nice atmosphere, beautiful buildings. The only downside was that the breakfast could have been a bit better. It was ok but if you made coffee and cooked eggs or an omelette to order on top it would have been perfection. Would definitely stay here again.

We have just returned from a week at Le Ferme del la Rançonnière and it was superb. Cosy, warm room with beautiful items of furniture and gorgeous decor. The only small things we would advise when booking is… make sure you ask for big windows if you want them. Some of the rooms are quirky and ours had a small ‘porthole’ window and a lower down window in the lounge area and one thing tall window in the bedroom. We didn’t mind too much but it does mean the room is quite dark. Other than that we would have liked more towels when they changed them as there were three of us and as I suggest to all hotels - more creamer or milk. I love a cup of coffee in the room after a long day chasing museums etc and I always have to make sure I bring/ buy my own. I would also recommend bringing all your own toiletries. All in one hair/ body wash is not for me I am afraid. BUT these are so minor I would not mark them down for this. Staff were all friendly and helpful, the hotel is located in a pretty good position for exploring D Day sites, memorials and cemeteries as well as bayeaux, Caen and Arromanches. We drove and had no parking issues. Parking is at the back of the hotel but easy to access from wherever your room is. The food in the restaurant was sublime! Best risotto I have ever had and the desserts were heavenly. We definitely will return and look forward to our next stay!

We traveled in the area and used La Ferme for our base and it did not disappoint. From the moment we arrived we felt like a part of the "family," the receptionist Franck ensured a seamless check in process, told us all the details and even escorted us to our room, we felt so welcomed here by ALL the staff. The room was spacious and it felt like a trip back through time yet equipped with modern conveniences. The daily breakfast was delicious and offered a variety of options for various eaters. There was a memorial directly across the street and showed La Ferme and its use in the war, which made a nice connection too. I would definitely return here and stay, it was simply unbelievable!!

This farm was absolutely stunning!! Our room was beautiful—felt like I was in a turret!! Also lovely to have a restaurant and bar on site.
