About Normandy

Home to a landscape of rolling hills, green pastures and sandy beaches, Normandy is a wonderful region for a French trip as a couple, or with family and friends. Accommodation options range from charming B&Bs in medieval towns to chic châteaux renovations tucked in the countryside — ideal for active travellers looking to hike, horse ride, fish, golf or cycle. Our pick of the best places to stay in Normandy encompasses it all, including very special spots for foodies, nature lovers and romantics in one of France’s most popular holiday regions.

Some of our Normandy Collections:

Normandy has become synonymous with the Second World War, and history aficionados have long flocked to its museums and memorials. If you’re eager to delve into Normandy’s past — whether 20th Century or medieval — look to base yourself in or around Caen, Cherbourg or Bayeux. Famed for its marvellous tapestry, Bayeux also features the largest British Commonwealth wartime cemetery in France. The 80km of coastline used in the D-Day Landings are perhaps best explored with an expert guide — although many of the fishing villages are lovely for a history-minded wander and seafood lunch, too.

The region has also been inspiring artists for centuries. Visit Rouen to admire the cathedral, which Monet painted many times, and to see the Musée des Beaux Arts. The Impressionists were fascinated by the light in coastal Honfleur, a fantastic seaside destination, and Claude Monet lived for decades in Giverny. His house and gardens now play host to the excellent Monet Foundation. Charming Etretat, too, has impressive artistic connections.

Keen foodies looking to sample the top regional cuisine à la Normande need look no further than the best places to stay in Normandy — many of our favourite spots have acclaimed eateries of their own!

The Best Places to Stay in Normandy

For a Charming B&B

  • Chez Laurence Du Tilly is a delightful B&B in Caen's historic centre, made up of three self-catering one-bedroom apartments. Think modern interiors and statement furnishings. A city crashpad for families (there's space for up to four guests in two of the flats) or couples. Hearty breakfasts included.
  • Le Fer à Cheval is a lovely family-run hotel set in a beautiful red-brick building in Trouville-sur-Mer. Simple, modern rooms promise a comfortable stay for couples, families or friends. A great value B&B for exploring the Norman coast.
  • B&B Les Agapanthes has charming rustic interiors in a quaint country house, dating back to 1790. Wooden beams and open fires are cosy and inviting, whilst hearty breakfasts will set you up for the day. Simple and friendly, situated in Gasny.

For Foodies

  • Domaine de la Corniche is 10 minutes from the Monet Foundation, atop a hill with expansive countryside views. Book an elegant, modern room with a bold colour palette, and enjoy the large spa, swimming pool and bar. Chef Gaëtan Perulli heads the Michelin-starred Panoramic Restaurant, where traditional French dishes are given a contemporary twist. A chic foodie favourite.
  • Le Jardin des Plumes promises an idyllic Giverny retreat, with a gourmet restaurant and stylish rooms surrounded by woodland moments from Monet's former home. Chef-owner David Gallienne fuses international flavours from his travels with top-notch local produce to create an unmissable Michelin-starred dining experience. Fantastic.
  • Ivan Vautier offers a five-star stay in Caen, with bold contemporary rooms and a superb spa. The real lure is the exquisite menu of regional dishes at the Michelin-starred restaurant headed by Chef Ivan Vautier. Fresh ingredients are drawn from both land and sea, and the open kitchen allows foodies a more immersive dining experience.
  • Le Manoir des Impressionnistes is a striking half-timber house nestled within mature gardens between the forest and the mouth of the Seine. Expect classic French interiors with pastel walls and antique furnishings. There's a pool, a small spa and a fabulous restaurant, too. Lovely for keen foodies eager to stay by the sea.
  • Domaine St Clair is a chic county house-turned-hotel in Etretat, with sea views and two exceptional restaurants. Michelin-starred Le Donjon is fabulous. Book one of 21 lavish rooms and suites — some of which boast ocean views — and unwind by the pool or stroll along the beach. Good for romance too!

For Families or Groups

  • Château les Cèdres is a gorgeous yellow sandstone building just outside Caen. Pick this place for elegant traditional interiors and beautiful grounds. A great family-friendly choice — or a fun place for relaxed groups, if you book all five rooms. The games room, bicycles and outdoor pool are brilliant. Rural bliss.
  • La Cour Sainte Catherine, in a former convent, is a welcoming B&B in the heart of Honfleur. Book the self-catering house — which sleeps six — if travelling as a family or group. Charming, child-friendly and relaxed.

  • Villa Fol Avril offers a boutique stay within a former coaching inn in pretty Moutiers-au-Perche. The hotel has airy bedrooms with exposed beams and antique pieces. Larger rooms have mezzanine spaces for families. The wooden-decked swimming pool, regional restaurant and access to heaps of activities — horse riding, cycling, walking, golf and fishing — make this a great family choice.

For Romance

  • Château de la Ferrière is a stunning 18th-century building with five traditional guestrooms and indulgent bathrooms between Bayeux and the coast. The 35 acres of gardens and woodland will delight nature lovers, and the saltwater pool is ideal for a cooling dip. For romantics and heritage fans.
  • Villa Lara promises a five-star stay in historic Bayeux. 30 opulent period rooms feature rich fabrics, antiques and cathedral views. An upmarket boutique pick for an elegant couples' holiday. A delight.

Spacious contemporary rooms are tucked within a heritage building, along with a deluxe 700msq spa, indoor swimming pool and excellent brasserie. Treatments include regenerating plant scrubs and wonderful Ayurvedic massages. A superb city spa hotel.

For Rural Bliss

  • Le Domaine d'Ablon is a chic rural property with just four sophisticated suites set within an idyllic half-timbered house close to Honfleur. Think roll-top baths, big cosy beds, regioinal dishes served in settings of your choice throughout the gardens, and appealing shared spaces to unwind. Spend your days walking, cycling and horse riding.
  • Le Clos de Grace is a carefully restored country residence on a secluded estate. Take cookery lessons with the hotel chef, relax in the wellness centre and at the indoor pool, or stroll through manicured gardens. Charming, intimate and indulgent, for couples or families.
  • Les Manoirs de Tourgeville is an elegant property situated on a 7-hectare estate just outside Deauvill. Expect a contemporary take on traditional French style and lots for guests of all ages to do, from tennis and swimming to film screenings and sailing trips. A fabulous rural getaway topped off with excellent regional cuisine.
  • La Dîme de Giverny has both rooms and self-catering cottages with elegant interiors. Voted the most beautiful guest house in France, this is a very special place to stay as a couple, group of friends or family. Expect freshly baked breakfasts, afternoon cakes and cheese or charcuterie boards at lunchtime. Small and welcoming.
