Château de Bellefontaine

8/10 Good
"The property’s setting is exceptional and please don’t miss out on having dinner at their restaurant. It is great value, delicious and very convenient. Their breakfast was very good and had lots of options. We had a deluxe room. The only reason way it wasn’t a 5 star is that the toilet is in a separate room from the show. The minor inconvenience made up for by being on the ground floor walk out and having lots of place in the room. We also liked the parking. Merci à tous!"

"A warm reception from the staff, good English which always makes me feel guilty! Clean, comfortable and well maintained with every staff member engaging, helpful and professional. Rooms were comfy, food although a limited choice, was well prepared and tasty. Breakfast though was a little light on choice, but was ok. It has a small gym and a heated pool. My one little criticism is if it's raining there is nowhere outside that is covered. What i mean is there are no overhanging shelters of any kind. So if you are a smoker then rain will mean you need an umbrella. Other than that, plenty of parking, good location close to the memorial museum and only 30 mins from the ferry"

The longer daylight hours also mean more time for sightseeing and leisurely evenings.For those interested in the D-Day commemorations, early June is particularly significant, as it marks the anniversary of the landings.
