This has been by far one of our family’s favourite vacation rentals. Christophe is very helpful. His pride in his property shows with the huge undertaking of years of renovations and restoration. So grateful for sharing this historic property with us! The location is perfect. Ask how to walk into town along the river- it was one of my son’s top 3 favourite things to see in all of France. The grounds allow your kids to stretch out. Definitely recommend!!

This property is absolutely amazing. Christophe and his wife are very welcoming and shared the history of the property. The apartment is large and spacious and very clean. Couldn’t ask for anything else!

Wish we had more time at the property. It was wonderful

Awesome! Spacious, quiet, classy, all the accoutrements! Christophe and his wife are charming hosts! Will stay here again!

My husband and I traveled with our 4 daughters to Bayeux in September. We absolutely loved staying in this amazing and unique property. It is even more beautiful and charming than the pictures show. It had all the modern conveniences we needed but still made us feel as if we had traveled back in time. During our time in Bayeux we explored the beautiful town, toured the D-Day beaches and American Cemetery, and spent a day at Mont Sainte-Michel. The location of the apartment is perfect and we had such a wonderful time! Normandy is beautiful and we hope to go back again one day. Christophe is very proud of his property (as he should be!) and was kind to share the history with us. He was very responsive and accomodating. I highly recommend staying at the Manor... you won't regret it!

What can I possibly say about this place-it’s the only place I would stay in this region, my second stay. The owners communicate so well, if I had a question, it was answered quickly. Christophe came out to greet us and Veronique also came out when we were in the courtyard to say hello. Such nice people! It made me feel I was coming to visit friends that I had known for many years! They live in the manor house and are available to give a tour of the property and what it was known for. I would certainly advise people to stay, a great reunion house or a place for many people!

Great week in this lovely accommodation, perfect location, host communication great throughout, so much to do and see

i felt like we were on some kind of movie set. it is a perfectly restored and maintained 17th century manor house with a fortified farm, that is now mostly a huge lavender field. There is a massive cider press in a room adjoining the guest quarters. our group included myself, my wife, my daughter, and son-in-law and two 9-year-old grandchildren and there was plenty of room for all of us. The living room is enormous with a massive stone fireplace. The host was always very friendly and helpful. it is a perfect place to stay to visit Bayeux and the Normandy beaches. we could walk into town on a boardwalk and trail though a wetlands area. The only complaint we would have was the lack of fans or better ventilation due to the extremely hot weather while we were there.

Charming and large apartment in a beautifully restored manor farm.

We rented this manor from Christophe for a few days and really enjoyed the property. We came during the D-Day festivities and it was a great location for a home base. It had everything we needed with a fully functional kitchen, dining room/living room, laundry room, a sitting room, 2 private bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. The property has been restored (and still some work is being done but nothing that impacted our stay). It is a beautiful property and I recommend you walk around the gardens and visit the horses. We saw a jackalope one early morning. A lot of history to the family property. Christophe and his wife are both very personable. It is close to grocery stores and downtown Bayeux. The only thing I would mention is that the listing mentions 4 bedrooms but that is because there is a pull out sofa in both the sitting room and the living room. I would say that there are 2 private bedrooms and 2 rooms with pull out sofas (non-private). For us this worked because we only needed to private bedrooms. I would really recommend this manor if you are going to be in Bayeux or nearby.

This historic, quiet and fascinating property provides a unique experience. Our family of 4 stayed for a week in the large, spacious apartment. The hosts are gracious, responsive and eager to share the history and will provide many recommendations for activities in the area. An amazing ancient apple press is through a door off the master bedroom. There are 2 true bedrooms - the master and one with twin beds. There is a comfortable double/queen sofa bed in the great room which has a door and is private. The second sofa bed is in an open area serving as a study. There is one shower and the master bath with bath tub and hand held extension. This property is rustic, with some lovely antiques, ample storage, parking and only a mile or two from Bayeux with an amazing cathedral, famous tapestry, many wonderful restaurants and a great base for Normandy and northern Brittany. Our family loved staying here and learning about its unique history. There is an amazing market on Wednesdays and Saturdays and would recommend L'Angle Saint Laurent restaurant. Great base for D-Day beach exploration. We would definitely return. Thank you Christophe for your gracious hospitality.

We were very pleased with our stay. The property is beautifully restored and it really added to our stay to get to stay in such a historical property. The kids (and adults) loved exploring the property and getting to see the added features like the old apple press. Hosts were available if we needed anything. Kitchen and bathrooms clean and practical. Sofa bed a bit squeaky (but to be expected with a sofa bed). Property is very quiet at night. Added bonus is the spacious parking. Because there were six of us we were travelling with a large sprinter type van and were able to park it easily.

Nous recommendons le vaste logement aménagé au-dessus du pressoir à pommes. Très belle cheminée XVIIIeme dans la pièce principale. Literie confortable. Accueil très aimable et de bon conseil. Merci pour cette belle semaine reposante et pleine d'Histoire.

Prachtige lokatie Vriendelijk ontvangen Ruime kamers Redelijke bedden maar niet top Te weinig licht in grandioos grote huiskamer Voldoende handdoeken Goed voorziene krieken Gastheer/vrouw steeds beschikbaar ook voor advies ober bezoeken aan de omgeving Prachtige historische data over 14 jaar durende restauratie Kortom een heel goed verblijf voor 3 volwassenen en drie kinderen

We enjoyed a great holiday at “la ferme manoir”. The owners are amicable and helpful, and they did an outstanding job in restoring the whole manor. We enjoyed the large living room with a six metres ceiling and the well-equipped kitchen. Both bathrooms were clean and comfortable. The location is only a five minutes drive, or fifteen minutes walk from the historical city centre of Bayeux. The tennis court was our favourite spot in the morning. The stone fence around the manor and the spacious gardens makes it a safe and quiet space. What a relaxing week we enjoyed in this beautiful place. It is an ideal base to discover the rest of Normandie. We thank Christophe and Véronique for their hospitality. We highly recommend “la ferme manoir”!

Spacious apartment on walking distance from nice village center of Bayeux in beautiful Normandy region. Beaches nearby. Great stay

Excellent souvenir. Remarquable travail de restauration d'un superbe bâtiment. Nous avons beaucoup appris sur l'histoire et la vie des habitants de cette région Une rencontre très enrichissante pour nous

Beautiful place to stay while we were touring Normandy! We would have loved to stay longer and hope to return in the future. Our family of five had plenty of space for sleeping and socializing. Christophe was an excellent host and did very well communicating details about arrival and updates about any changes. We wish we had more time to enjoy the accommodations as this place has a wonderful history of its own. Pleasantly surprised to find a second bathroom with a proper shower. The kitchen had everything we needed to make small meals and snacks. We drove to Normandy but our daughters arrived by train which was nearby. Overall, a great experience and we will be back!

We have lived and traveled all over the world and stayed in some beautiful places. Beautiful doesn’t begin to describe this Crémel Manor. It has breathtaking views, gorgeous sunsets, and then to top it off Christoph and Veronique were so hospitable even letting us come a day earlier than we had expected. The villa (yes it was more like a villa than anything else) was so beautiful the living area was huge, the kitchen well equipped and stocked for large families, so many rooms all large with plenty of room and the decorations so well done with subtle accents that just made this place even more amazing. We love how there were two full bathrooms and that there was the original apple press off the balcony, this was one of the neatest things ever!! An added bonus is that it is inside a gated area very safe. The location was also the best we were less than a kilometer from downtown where they had great restaurants and the cathedral, also with amazing shops. The people in town were also so nice. Only 20 mins from Omaha beach, 40 mins to Utah, and only an hour and 20 mins to the beautiful Mont Saint Michel. We truly did not want to leave. So excited to return again in the spring time.

Wow! We absolutely loved our stay in this amazing manor! Christophe is a wonderful host and the manor is outstanding with many surprises! We thought Bayeux was one of our favorite towns on our European whirlwind and it is literally a 5 minute drive from the manor. The only regret was leaving!

This was our best property on our European trip. If you love history, and quiet mornings in a beautiful manor with gardens, this is the place to rent. I only wish we would have had more down time to relax and explore Bayeux. Christophe the owner is so kind and took time out of his day to walk the property with us and tell us the history. Just a beautiful place in the world. Thank you.

My family of six had a wonderful four-night stay at the Manor. The hosts were accommodating and friendly. They provided extra bedding to make our stay more comfortable. We ate in Bayeux several nights, but we all agreed that the meal we cooked in the Manor kitchen was the best. The Manor is on a busy highway, but still safe and convenient to walk to town. The stone fence around the farm made us feel safe and secure. We spent a week in Paris previous to our visit to the Manor, so the peace and quiet of the farm was a welcome relief. We all agreed that when we return to Normandy, we will stay at the Manor. Thanks Christophe and Veronique for a wonderful stay.

There were eight of us, including four children, two grandparents and two parents traveling to Normandy to visit the D-Day beaches and countryside. The Manor proved to be a wonderful place for all of us. The kids LOVED it for all it's unique qualities. The adults loved it for those and its beauty and quietness, even though it is located within easy walking distance of Bayeux. Christophe and Veronique were very nice and attentive hosts. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this property to those who might be interested.

We loved our time here. Christophe and Veronique have done an incredible job converting a 17th century estate into a comfortable, unique place for groups. Their communication was exceptional and we couldn't have been happier with our choice.

Couldn’t have been better.

We spent three evenings at the Manor. It is a lovely, quiet place. It was like stepping back in time with modern conveniences. Our host made our stay perfect. A wonderful experience. Jean and Fred Walsh

Spacious, well-equipped apartment within a beautiful historical setting. Very private and quiet, yet located just 5 minutes from Bayeaux City Center. The owners were gracious hosts.

Exceptional property. On the grounds of a 400 year old manor. Very large and modern accommodations. Seems to be a bargain. Close in location. Wonderful hosts. 5 star rating. Recommended.

For us a perfect location, quiet and only 1km walk to main restaurants, centre. Nice host, very welcoming, would recommend and visit again.

Ein sehr großzügiges Anwesen in guter Lage, die Ausstattung ist modern - für Familien wie kleine Gruppen bis 5 Personen sehr gut geeignet. Der Kontakt zum Vermieter ist gut - wir würden sehr gern wieder kommen

We enjoyed staying here and talking with Christophe about the history of the manor house and property!
