About Normandy

Home to a landscape of rolling hills, green pastures and sandy beaches, Normandy is a wonderful region for a French trip as a couple, or with family and friends. Accommodation options range from charming B&Bs in medieval towns to chic châteaux renovations tucked in the countryside — ideal for active travellers looking to hike, horse ride, fish, golf or cycle. Our pick of the best places to stay in Normandy encompasses it all, including very special spots for foodies, nature lovers and romantics in one of France’s most popular holiday regions.

Some of our Normandy Collections:

Normandy has become synonymous with the Second World War, and history aficionados have long flocked to its museums and memorials. If you’re eager to delve into Normandy’s past — whether 20th Century or medieval — look to base yourself in or around Caen, Cherbourg or Bayeux. Famed for its marvellous tapestry, Bayeux also features the largest British Commonwealth wartime cemetery in France. The 80km of coastline used in the D-Day Landings are perhaps best explored with an expert guide — although many of the fishing villages are lovely for a history-minded wander and seafood lunch, too.

The region has also been inspiring artists for centuries. Visit Rouen to admire the cathedral, which Monet painted many times, and to see the Musée des Beaux Arts. The Impressionists were fascinated by the light in coastal Honfleur, a fantastic seaside destination, and Claude Monet lived for decades in Giverny. His house and gardens now play host to the excellent Monet Foundation. Charming Etretat, too, has impressive artistic connections.

Keen foodies looking to sample the top regional cuisine à la Normande need look no further than the best places to stay in Normandy — many of our favourite spots have acclaimed eateries of their own!

The Best Places to Stay in Normandy

For a Charming B&B

  • Chez Laurence Du Tilly is a delightful B&B in Caen's historic centre, made up of three self-catering one-bedroom apartments. Think modern interiors and statement furnishings.

For Families or Groups

  • Château les Cèdres is a gorgeous yellow sandstone building just outside Caen. Pick this place for elegant traditional interiors and beautiful grounds. A great family-friendly choice — or a fun place for relaxed groups, if you book all five rooms. The games room, bicycles and outdoor pool are brilliant. Rural bliss.

Larger rooms have mezzanine spaces for families. The wooden-decked swimming pool, regional restaurant and access to heaps of activities — horse riding, cycling, walking, golf and fishing — make this a great family choice.

For Romance

  • Château de la Ferrière is a stunning 18th-century building with five traditional guestrooms and indulgent bathrooms between Bayeux and the coast. The 35 acres of gardens and woodland will delight nature lovers, and the saltwater pool is ideal for a cooling dip. For romantics and heritage fans.

Spacious contemporary rooms are tucked within a heritage building, along with a deluxe 700msq spa, indoor swimming pool and excellent brasserie. Treatments include regenerating plant scrubs and wonderful Ayurvedic massages. A superb city spa hotel.

For Rural Bliss

  • Le Domaine d'Ablon is a chic rural property with just four sophisticated suites set within an idyllic half-timbered house close to Honfleur. Think roll-top baths, big cosy beds, regioinal dishes served in settings of your choice throughout the gardens, and appealing shared spaces to unwind. Spend your days walking, cycling and horse riding.
  • Le Clos de Grace is a carefully restored country residence on a secluded estate. Take cookery lessons with the hotel chef, relax in the wellness centre and at the indoor pool, or stroll through manicured gardens. Charming, intimate and indulgent, for couples or families.

Expect a contemporary take on traditional French style and lots for guests of all ages to do, from tennis and swimming to film screenings and sailing trips. A fabulous rural getaway topped off with excellent regional cuisine.
