Le Tardif, Noble Guesthouse

What a wonderful experience at the Hotel Tardif, which actually isn't a hotel, but that's what made it so wonderful. From our greeting by Jasmine, to special attention to a problem from Laure, the hotel made me feel so welcomed and pampered. Our room was at the top of the stairs on the second floor. It was lovely, with period furniture. Our bathroom---it was bigger than a hotel room we had in Paris. The hotel is an estate with beautiful gardens. It is very well-maintained for a very old estate. Everything worked beautifully, although without my glasses in the shower, I didn't realized that there were temperatures printed on the dial of the shower. Once we realized how it worked, it was perfect. Breakfast was held in a lovely, windowed room. If we sat on one side, we could look onto the garden in the back of the house. The other side is near the fireplace. There were lots of different options for breakfast. Very European. Eggs, sausages, wonderful bread (we are in France after all) and cereals and a cake every day. I guess there is a pool, but we could not take advantage of that. The staff was very helpful when we wanted to take a day trip to Caen. They made it so easy. Suggestions for restaurants were very good and I wish I had all the time in the world to revisit, because I would stay no where else in Bayeux. It was the perfect location in Bayeux.

Beautiful hotel.. lovely rooms, some with park views and access. Our group of six stayed three nights. We each had different category rooms but all were spacious!! Welcoming staff, walkable town, great location, central to town and walkable from train station. Great breakfast, as well! Highly recommend!!
