Saint-Benoît-de-l'Aure, Normandy hotel rooms at the Independent

"Excellent staff and great amenities. Great breakfast as well."

"The location is close to the city center. The staff were all welcoming and very helpful with dining reservations "

"We traveled with a group of 8 family members. This boutique hotel is not centrally located in a town, but is very conveniently located to visiting the various attractions in the area. The rooms were comfortable, clean, and quiet. The spa and pool areas were also very nice and we would definitely return for a longer stay."

"My sisters and I had the absolute best time staying here on our girls trip! The staff was so welcoming and friendly. The room was spacious and clean, and our view was amazing! Easy, beautiful walk to the downtown area. This was one of our favorite stops. Can’t say enough good things about the entire experience! "

"Great room for families. My kids loved it. Great location. Easy to walk to the beach. Gold beach is awesome. Easy to visit D-day beaches from here. "

"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! "

"Beautiful hotel in the center of Bayeux. Lovely bar and restaurant on site which was nice. Very much enjoyed our stay here. Would definitely stay again."

"The Chateau is a beatiful place to stay 5 Stars all the way. The gardens are beautiful offering a serene vistas which ever way you look. It is convenient to Juno Beach Center and to the City Center. The breakfast buffet was well done as was the evening meal. "

"The hotel had a check in time for 4p. Which I think is very late."
