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.

Amazing staff, delicious breakfast and fantastic location. We felt like we were in a beautiful French country home. Such a beautiful hotel and I didn’t want to leave.

Felt like I was transported back to 18th century while enjoying modern amenities Morning breakfast was delightful and owners were polite and friendly, taking care of every need. Gardens and grounds were meticulously cared for Our room was very spacious and clean. Bathroom very modern! Quiet area, nice sitting outside with our bottle of wine. A definite pleasure staying here
