Ferme de la Rançonnière - Hôtel & Restaurant

We had a lovely stay on this beautiful property. It’s a perfect location for visiting the Normandy Landing Beaches. The staff was very friendly and helpful; the breakfast was delicious; the grounds are beautiful. We had a family room (2 bathrooms) which was spacious and comfortable. It was so quiet. We also really enjoyed the giant chess set. Added bonus: electric car chargers on the property. My only regret is that we didn’t stay there longer. Highly recommend.

Stayed four nights while touring Normandy. Quiet rural area; close to the D Day beaches and Bayeux with restaurants is 20 minutes away. We got the original master’s suite which was huge, quiet, appointed with antiques, frr we may like living in a castle. Rather dark. No elevator - stone steps to get in the front door and thankfully up just one marble staircase, with heavy luggage. No fridge in room. TV not connected to internet. When my husband asked at front desk about getting ice, he got a puzzled look and was told to try the bar. Polished but unfriendly front desk. Not there to help. No one on premises after 11 PM. Only dining options are the expensive buffet breakfast, fancy restaurant got dinner that opens at 7 PM, or the bar which is large and cozy and has charcuterie boards you can order. So, getting food in this remote town is an issue (No eateries in village of Crépon). Plan wisely. It’s a beautifully restored historic old manor house, The service and amenities however do not make it a four star hotel.

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!

The property was very quaint and quiet. We were doing a lot of sightseeing and mostly slept comfortably. An AC unit and elevator would have been nice, but receptionist helped carry our luggage. Maxine our server in the restaurant was knowledgeable and informative on the food and wine. Overall I would definitely stay there again

From the outside, it looks like an old farmhouse, which I guess it was. But from the inside, it’s lovely and the grounds are lovely. They say you need to check in by 9 PM, but when we got there, they said the front desk was open all night, so I wouldn’t worry too much about the check-in deadline. There is plenty of free parking. The only problem with getting there late is that the Hôtel Restaurant closes rather early.

Overall this hotel was fabulous! We used it as a base to explore WW2 sites and was very easy to get around the Normandy coast. Large, comfortable rooms with top notch amenities. Hotel staff was super friendly, engaging and helpful. The restaurant was excellent with a varied range of food options and reasonably priced for the great quality. WiFi was excellent!

No real criticism other than, in the refurb they could have added some form of aircon. There were no mozzie nets on the windows and it was roasting with them closed. I got bitten to hell. If you're susceptible to bites, then be aware.

Wonderful place. Exceptionally friendly staff. All of them made us and our dog feel like family. Each dinner were excellent, ever single course. Great bar with a very nice selection of drinks. Could not have been happier. Thank you.

The Hotel was stunning as was the location. Everything you'd expect from a 4 star accommodation. Thr room was tastefully decorated. Unable to walk on the tiled floor in the room until the 4th visit from the cleaners, it had a slight sticky like feel to it, the floor hadn't been washed on the previous 3 visits. We were in a room above the restaurant which closed at 9pm, but chairs were getting scraped accross the floor as late as 11.15pm by staff or patrons. On one of the nights at approx 11.30pm a guest was screaming and giggling with his child about 7 years old in the courtyard which went on for about 20 minutes, no staff intervention. When any accommodation advertises wi-fi it should be faultless, the connection we had from our room was constant buffering, having to reconnect or no service at all. Very poor. TV supposed to have international channels, it had none whatsoever. Had drinks on our first night at a total of 15 euros for only 1 glass of wine and a half pint of lager. The breakfast was continental at a cost of 18 euros per person, extortionately expensive at that price.

Property is not air-conditioned. Despite making three personal requests, including going to the front desk and asking for a fan, we did Receive a fan which made for a terrible night of sleep, unfortunately. major letdown for us was the terrible Wi-Fi speed and service interruptions constantly Unfortunately, we needed the Wi-Fi that evening, but could not use it at all. The real challenge with Expedia Reservations like this one is their app which they claim allows you to message the property however the message feature has not worked on this end of the properties we have booked during the day. They also provide the prop a bizarre and unattended Expedia email and not the guests personal email, which was a huge and vacation ruining experience Ing this day for us. We could not communicate with the property and the property had some restrictions regarding check-in time which were not reflected on The Expedia mobile app used to make the reservation. We are starting to lose our faith slowly in the Expedia and Hotels.com brands as their customer service has practically vanished.

Very clean and a great place to stay!

Wonderful farmhouse renovated with care and great taste, offering beautiful accommodation. Somewhere to remember! A perfect retreat among the Normandie countryside, no noise, no cars, just bird song. A delight! And yet so close to many of the D-Day sites. The restaurant offers a good choice of dishes, top quality food. You won’t be disappointed. Staff very attentive and eager to ensure you have a good experience.

Very Beautiful and very friendly staff. Must have a rental car! No Uber. Ceilings and doors too low if 5’11! Very hard to get into bed or walk out of room. Too many spiders!! Dinner was just so so and very limited. Had to hitch hike back from Courseulles-sur-mer. Taxis to Utah was over 150 Euros one way.

Prachtige locatie heerlijk eten en bijzonder vriendelijke mensen. Wat een prachtig verbouwde oude boerderij die helemaal voldoet aan de moderne eisen. Een groot compliment.

Beautiful place!

Beautiful hotel and surrounding landscape. Nice staff and warm dining areas.

Beautiful property, very well maintained within a short drive from many great attractions, smaller cities and D-Day beaches. The property is charming and cozy. Each room is uniquely laid out. The shower had incredible pressure. Try the chocolate dessert in the Restaurant. it was mind blowing good.

very clean high standard food excellant bit expensive but had a lovely stay very relaxing lovely grounds out of the way from anything else tho man at resturant bit grumpy on first night but improved after the next night seemed better with french people not english

Lovely historic building - located in a small town, close to Caen, Bayeux (with its famed tapestry), Normandy D-day history sites. Very clean. Restaurant was great. They have a tennis court and a little farm with VERY cute bunnies. Only thing to note is that they don’t supply conditioner so ladies bring your own or let your hair get frizzy like I did.

Lovely hotel that is truly full of charm. The bed we had was comfortable and well equipped. Though there is no air conditioning, it really wasn’t needed. Even on a warm day when we visited, the open windows allowed sufficient breeze to freshen the room. The area is near to shops, galleries, and restaurants, but distant enough to be very quiet. I would recommend Coeur St. Catherine, and I would love the chance to visit again.

Nous avons passé un agréable séjour. Cadre très sympathique. Très bonne localisation. Séjour un peu entaché par un soucis de chambre. Nous avons réservé une chambre supérieur en pensant sans savoir que certaines ne sont pas lumineuse et sous les toits. Point qui n’est pas visible sur le site. Nous remercions l’équipe d’avoir trouvé une solution pour notre confort en nous changeant de chambre. Cependant dans la seconde chambre ( supérieur triple ) l’isolation était déplorable. Cela est surprenant pour un établissement de ce standing. Il est regrettable pour une chambre avec cet inconvénient de pratiquer une politique des prix aussi élevée. Réveil par la chambre voisine à 23h (valise, voix pas spécifiquement forte mais possibilité de suivre toute la conversation grâce à l’isolation inexistante) Deuxième réveil par cette même chambre à 6h causé par leur alarme et le départ (valise, voix).

Not super welcoming or helpful staff

We traveled in the area and used La Ferme for our base and it did not disappoint. From the moment we arrived we felt like a part of the "family," the receptionist Franck ensured a seamless check in process, told us all the details and even escorted us to our room, we felt so welcomed here by ALL the staff. The room was spacious and it felt like a trip back through time yet equipped with modern conveniences. The daily breakfast was delicious and offered a variety of options for various eaters. There was a memorial directly across the street and showed La Ferme and its use in the war, which made a nice connection too. I would definitely return here and stay, it was simply unbelievable!!

Quel endroit magnifique! La chambre est à couper le souffle. Et que dire de l'accueil, j'y mettrais plus que 5 étoiles si je le pouvais. Le maître d'hôtel nous a si bien accueilli à notre arrivée! Nous avons également mangé au restaurant de l'hôtel et nous avons adoré tous nos plats. Nous étions de passage pour une seule nuit lors d'un voyage en France pour notre anniversaire de mariage et si nous avions su que cet endroit était aussi extraordinaire, nous serions restés plus longtemps! Ils nous ont également recommandé des endroits à visiter. Nous leurs donnons la note de 100% et allons recommander cet endroit à nos familles et amis québécois ❤️ Véronique et Sébastien

Beautiful hotel, however staff need training in service and managing guests. The front desk called my room as a complaint was made about my children walking around by the guests below, at 10am. It is no one’s fault if floor boards creak and I think this is a reasonable time for people to walk around. I am not sure quite what the staff wanted us to do, other than be still. Disappointing service. Does not make this a ‘family-friendly’ hotel.

Wonderful place. Exceptionally friendly staff. All of them made us and our dog feel like family. Each dinner were excellent, ever single course. Great bar with a very nice selection of drinks. Could not have been happier. Thank you.

Booked a table for dinner in the restaurant. We came, but had to wait because many people without reservation ate there. Just wait 20 minutes was the message they told us. No effort to try and fix it. After 45 minutes, we left because a table was still not available. Disopointed.

very clean high standard food excellant bit expensive but had a lovely stay very relaxing lovely grounds out of the way from anything else tho man at resturant bit grumpy on first night but improved after the next night seemed better with french people not english

perfecte locatie en bijzonder mooi gebouw. Het binnenplein is uniek om te ontbijten of voor avondmaal. De stranden zijn nabij.

Beautiful chateau in the Normandy countryside. Very updated. Excellent spot to stay for seeing the area.

Endroit parfaitement situé pour voir la Normandie

The most beautiful property and perfect situation for visiting all the DDay beaches and memorials .

Historic property. Our room was a large suite. Conveniently located near D-day beaches and cities of Normandy.

Très belle endroit. Centrale pour visiter les plages du débarquement. Très bonne table.

Beautiful property, very well maintained within a short drive from many great attractions, smaller cities and D-Day beaches. The property is charming and cozy. Each room is uniquely laid out. The shower had incredible pressure. Try the chocolate dessert in the Restaurant. it was mind blowing good.

Fantastic historic property that is 5 stars on all levels. Quiet country setting yet 10 minutes from the Normandy WW2 Beaches. Highly recommend!

Gorgeous restored farmhouse and property. Dining superb, quiet, spacious and comfortable room.

Amazing historic property with a wonderful restaurant. Highly recommend

A terrific hotel, really nice atmosphere, beautiful buildings. The only downside was that the breakfast could have been a bit better. It was ok but if you made coffee and cooked eggs or an omelette to order on top it would have been perfection. Would definitely stay here again.

Beautiful property. The restaurant is superb. It’s very easy to take an UBER into Bayeaux where you can walk, eat, shop, and visit the beautiful cathedral.

Luxe kasteelhotel met zeer mooi ingerichte kamers. Flinke tegenvaller: het was onmogelijk om ter plaatse in het gastronomisch restaurant te dineren omdat je daar blijkbaar zeer lang van te voren voor moet reserveren (langer op voorhand dan voor een kamer). Het verkrijgen van een beetje brood en kaas op het terras bleek ook niet mogelijk. Niet klantvriendelijk. Geen eetgelegenheden of winkel in de buurt. Drie avonden moeten vasten! Te duur ontbijt voor het beperkt aanbod. Niet te ver van de stranden van de Landing in Normandië 06-06-1944. Rustig gelegen.

Charmiing old place but very nicely done inside with high quality. Excellent food in the restaurant
