berna2vm Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 Hi all. I am taking the missus to Normandy in Spring next year. Can anyone recommend a good hotel to stay at. Also as it is a while since I last visited, what are the best parts to visit? Cheers, Richard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snort Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 Normandy Beach B&B at Arromanches gets my vote and its perfectly placed for all the things to see Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pzkpfw-e Posted October 11, 2012 Share Posted October 11, 2012 The Ibis at Falaise is good, stayed there a few years back. Rooms are clean & inexpensive. Easy access to the roads towards Caen etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big ray Posted October 11, 2012 Share Posted October 11, 2012 Hotel St-Mere-Eglise, situated on the outskirts of the town, we stayed there a few years ago, its convenient for the town and surrounding areas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony B Posted October 11, 2012 Share Posted October 11, 2012 (edited) Couldn't advance the trip could you? Any way what about the English sectors? The Clavados Tousist Board are very helpful (Just don't call them French, thier Norman!) I would suggest you find time to Visit Tilly Sur Selles, and the Jerusalem Farm cemetry just outside. As a side benifit the farm produces the best Calvados in Normandy, like liquid sunshine. The Cathederal at Bayeux has to be one of the most stunning buildings in the world. The military musuem is excellent as well. Edited October 11, 2012 by Tony B Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agmerlin Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 Just got back from a fantastic week in Normandy where I stayed in arromanches. I can highly recommend Karen and Adrian Scott-cox's converted French farm house. It's a very friendly atmosphere, more like stopping with friends than in a hotel. Good food and lots of WWII books and memorabilia to look at. Address is no 2, Avenue Mountbatten, 14117 Arromanches. Tel 0033 231215263.

We went on a landtrain ride around and spotted it from the road so afterwards called in and the owner was very welcoming and chatted to us for a good while about the hotel, vehicles and his involvement in the commemorations which take place in Arromanches.

Adrian still has it but it was away for some work at a local workshop though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
