Château de Grand Tonne

"Beautiful chateau in very peaceful and relaxing setting. Very good value as other chateaus are significantly higher in price. Beautifully decorated rooms, comfy bed and very welcoming & friendly host. Highly recommend. We stayed for one night on our way back to Caen ferry, it was about 25 minute drive away and also close to the D-day memorial. Payment is in cash only as the chateau have had people reverse payments after leaving which is sad."

"I've seen horror movies that began the same way my stay at Chateau de Grand Tonne began. Driving up to a castle at the end of a deserted village in the evening, ringing the buzzer at the gate and being led in.||Fortunately, I couldn't have been more wrong. More of an AirBnb experience (with the hosts on site), I had a lovely stay. They're the most lovely people you can imagine. The property is absolutely silent. And while it's kind of in the middle of nowhere, it's a good location for Bayeux and Caen.||The breakfast (even though it's extra) was worth the whole trip to France."

"If you want to try for a stay in a real chateau and you are in the area of Normandy, I would recommend this property. It is nice to have a short walk in the garden between horses and a small pont. Children can climb in the old Willow or use the swing. I like the way it is setup. The many stairs between the knights armor brought us to a large classic style room for our family to stay overnight. The room has modern kitchen and shower.||||The breakfast is simple and would fit even better if we could enjoy this in a larger room in such a castle."

"A charming experience with charming hosts. The chateau complete with an area for jousting is set in beautiful surroundings with a small lake complete with black swans- both the gardens and the chateaux could be described as a cross between quaint and 'shabby chic' but in a delightful way. The rooms are all large and very comfortable with great views over the gardens. Drinks in the evening can be taken on the terrace and at least on couple of occasions we were joined by the horses which are allowed to roam free. We used this as a base to explore the historic sites of the Normandy landings and it's perfect for that purpose-just a mile or two from the coast and Bayeux.||Excellent value and a lovely experience."

"Met by the charming owners we were shown to our room which was very large and comfortable with a large bathroom also. The chateau is old and in parts a little faded but this adds to its charm. Drinks in the evening and breakfast in the morning can be had in the garden and you may be joined by the family's horses (careful where you put your feet)||Such a quiet & tranquil location, so it was a surprise when on the Saturday night a firework display in the next village sounded like a re-enactment of the Normandy Landings! This just added to the ambience.||Convenient for Caen, the ferry, Bayeux and the landing beaches and monuments, we can recommend this quirky establishment and we will return ourselves"
