Restaurant Ferme de la Ranconnière

Tous les personnels côtoyés ont fait preuve de professionnalisme et de convivialité. Très beau domaine bien situé pour visiter les plages du débarquement.
Avons été surclassé.
Reviendrons avec plaisir

Thomas the receptionist was exceptionally helpful and spoke perfect English. The hotel buildings are superb and the rooms themselves very good.

Tout était parfait pour un long weekend en amoureux. Petit dejeuner et diner excellents

A beautiful, well-appointed room, lovely grounds and delicious food; a most welcome respite on a very full schedule.

I would add only that the bathroom tub/shower arrangement is a bit awkward for these older guests.

Très belle Hôtel. Chambre nickel. Petit problème avec le wifi qui passe très mal.
Concernant le restaurant, le repas est excellent. Seul bémol, le service qui n’est pas digne d’un hôtel de ce type.

Vraiment parfait. Une bâtisse sublime.

exceptionnel!

Très bien,manque juste un minibar dans la chambre

Séjour impeccable, avons eu même droit à un surclassement dans une chambre supérieur.

A la découverte de cet établissement réputé ,nous n'avons pas été déçus .

Pas de chauffage dans la chambre
Restaurant qualité très bien temps d'attente très long
Week-end moyennement réussi

An excellent hotel in every way. Very welcoming, friendly staff. Excellent standard of accommodation and amenities. Food was presented beautifully and of excellent quality. Looking forward to returning.

Beautiful hotel in rural surroundings with magical grounds. Hotel rooms has lovely appointments (antique armoires, and cozy bedding.) would definitely recommend to anyone looking to stay near the Normandy battlefield beaches.

Unbelievable time here. The room was amazing and the staff was even better. Thank you for a memorable stay in your beautiful hotel.

Very pleasant place, very good restaurant and really relaxing setting.

Love this hotel! This was our second stay and will stay again and highly recommend! The hotel is an easy 3 hour drive from CDG and well located to explore all the villages and historical areas in Normandy!

Beautiful, unique hotel!!
Loved our stay!

A delightful venue that exceeded our expectation. Wonderful walks in the countryside. Fantastic breakfasts with the best baked goods.

Great hotel. Lovely staff. Food for breakfast and dinner was great! Cookie time was great!! We plan on coming back!!

Exceptional setting of beauty, calm and comfort very close to Bayeux and the beaches.

The setting, room and restaurant were excellent but the breakfast was disappointing for such a good hotel

Very nice hotel. Only the restaurant was less than expected : some dishes were exceptionally good (starters, desserts) , but others (main courses) were at most so-so (dry meat or no different as i would make it at home). Also not enough choice to eat there every evening of our stay

Very nice accommodation with great food.

Very pleasant and professional personnel; great restaurant and beautiful garden and terraces to relax. The hotel is perfectly located as basis for various trips in the area, such as Bayeux, invasion beaches and war cemetaries.

A lovely hotel with beautiful grounds. We ate in the restaurant every night and the food and wines were fantastic.
Definitely a place to stay to visit the nearby D Day beaches and memorials.

A very pleasant place benefiting from remarkable architecture to create a charming stay. Disappointing reception, except for a person with boundless kindness and high-class professionalism capable of making up for all the blunders of his colleagues. Housekeepers need to be managed because the accumulation of negligence is unacceptable in an establishment that aims to be of a very good standard. The catering and the staff who run it are at the expected level with a kindness and know-how that makes visiting this part of the establishment a source of comfort and pleasure. The breakfast is very disappointing, particularly due to the overall mediocre quality of the products. It is frankly unacceptable to serve a white ham coming out of plastic packaging in a region where there is certainly a very professional artisan butcher nearby who makes wonderful products. In summary, a very unequal establishment whose strength is the architecture and the professionalism of part of the staff, without management seeming to have a clear vision of its positioning and the best level of benchmark, too bad!

Outstanding hotel, centrally located, peaceful surroundings. Attentive and polite staff. Wonderful accommodation with lovely views. Will definitely be staying for a longer period when we return to Normandy in the future.

Gorgeous hotel and a stunning meal in the restaurant with impeccable service!

Very noisy

Remarkable hotel. Free parking, very nice room with maximum comfort. Separate toilet, large bathroom with very comfortable shower, and furniture to put your belongings, heating in the bathroom handkerchiefs, wipes, bathrobes, slippers, etc etc... excellent bedding, espresso available, The top of the 4 stars. Without forgetting an extreme kindness, and availability of the staff. All this in a very flowery and very well maintained environment. We have been coming for years and it is more pleasant, beautiful and welcoming. Highly recommend

Just splendid!

Magnificent hotel where it is the 7 or 8th time that we have come. The welcome is perfect, the rooms are all very beautiful with very nice equipment. The new room 202 is splendid with its stone ceiling and arches. The only downside is a TV that is a little complicated to use, a few cobwebs (it's the countryside) and small tiles on a glass door that need cleaning. (but the frequent rain is probably the cause). The restaurant is perfect, the menus are at a very correct price, with excellent service. There is ample FREE parking. Highly recommend without hesitation.

Very nice hotel in superb buildings. Great welcome. Very friendly and helpful staff. Spotless room. Very good restaurant. Copious and complete breakfast. Large car park. Nothing to complain about. I recommend and personally I treasure the address.

Overall hotel is very nice.
But but..we had a room with hair in the 'shower and a very very nasty smell in the bathroom. Hair were removed but The smell story could not be fixed..we could not change room...and worse..no commercial gesture in the end..so not worth a 4 stars hotel

The hotel staff are exceptional. We found them to be very friendly and helpful.

What a spectacular place!!! It was my father’s wish to see the beaches at Normandy. I wanted to make it a really special trip for my parents who are in their 80’s. They has never stayed in the French countryside so I researched carefully to find the perfect place! I certainly discovered it! Besides being magically beautiful, stylish and rustic as only the French can do, the Ferme de la Rançonnière was warm and welcoming . The staff members are lovely, polite and smiling. The courtyard restaurant was the perfect spot after a day or touring and traveling. We enjoyed the food and the wine which were both varied and local. I would strongly recommend this hotel as a dreamy spot in the French countryside for your vacation plans!

From the moment we drove in through the front gates we knew we made the right choice. A 300 year old hotel with a modern feel. Lovely restaurant and bar on the premises and a great walk though the fields for the dog just behind the hotel.

Maxine was excellent waiter in restaurant!!!

Glorious setting - the hotel is a little paradise. Old stone buildings dating back centuries, flowers everywhere, the whole place spacious and beautifully kept, and lots of delightful spots in which to sit out. Our room was delightful, very traditional yet with every modern convenience. Great shower, bathrobes and flannels - always a plus for me. Staff so welcoming and helpful. Great buffet breakfast. Plenty of parking. Lovely location - Crepon is a pretty village, not far from the coast and near historic Creully, where - since the hotel restaurant was full most nights - we enjoyed three fabulous meals in the wonderful Hostellerie Saint-Martin.

Beautiful hotel. Staff were polite and very service minded. Food very good. Wine selecction very good. Rooms and cleanliness were great.

Beautiful place! Exquisite.

A lovely building in a good location but indifferent service, no atmosphere and overpriced food also of indifferent quality. The hotel has the character of a business hotel in a chain with no charm or warmth. Some staff were actually rude and all except one or two need training in customer service and attitude.

The rooms were overpriced considering their size and the fact that they had not been upgraded for fifteen years. (Information given by the receptionist). From previous experience it would seem that some establishments allocate the less than perfect rooms to guests booking through Booking.com. In addition it must be said that using, or trying to use, the shower over the bath was dangerous. In as much as that there is no hand rail to hold onto to climb over the side of the bath. The surface of the bath had no anti slip surface plus the shower head would not stay in place.

We were very disappointed with the breakfast and dinner food.
The room was lovely, nicely furnished and spotlessly clean.
Bigger fluffier towels would be more luxurious.

Lovely hotel with very pleasant staff everywhere.

Lovely property - a perfect marriage of new and old world.

Establishment always as pleasant, very clean, calm and very welcoming and smiling staff. I recommend 200%.

I wish I could live there! So tranquil and lovely. Most of all, the staff were so friendly and helpful.

Excellent welcome from all the staff, very caring. Impeccably clean rooms and the entire hotel. The room is cozy, tastefully decorated and the bedding very comfortable. The excellent restaurant!

Majestic site, very friendly, professional and discreet staff. Excellent catering

Everything was perfect, from the welcome to the services offered.

A dream setting for lovers of beautiful stones, beautifully renovated places with quality hotels. Breakfast and catering are top notch. To sum up: Welcome, service and quality services... you can go there with your eyes closed and even return there without being tired of the place.

Very nice hotel, old style and a romantic atmosphere. Beautiful old renovated building. At the same time modern and top kitchen, very friendly service.

Lovely character hotel with great food. Excellent situation for access to Bayeux/Normandy beaches

Amazing place, destination, staff and the food was also incredible and we will certainly be coming back.

Good hotel combining modernity and tradition for the setting and the decoration. The services were at the height of a 4 star. Spacious bedroom and bathroom. Good bedding. Note excellent Wifi quality made necessary by the thickness of the walls.

Hotel charmante et confortable. Tres bien situe pour visiter Bayeux et Caen.

Beautiful hotel, lovely room and helpful friendly staff

The best hotel we have stayed at in France

Very good stay in an authentic setting with beautiful volumes and a sober decoration which highlights the old stones and the wood. Calm atmosphere.

Lovely place

Beautiful building, grounds and location

The hotel is located close to the Normandy beaches. The staff speak good English and were very helpful. We were advised before we arrived that the restaurant would be closed during our stay, which was disappointing, however, as a consequence we were upgraded to a junior suite to enable us to eat in our sitting room. We loved the decor and the wooden beams and the huge antique wardrobe in the bedroom (314). The bed was very comfortable with good lighting.The bathroom had a great shower with fluffy towels warmed on a heated towel rail. Thoroughly enjoyed breakfast with a good variety on offer. We left an item in the safe and were impressed with the hotel contacting us to let us know, which were subsequently able to recover

The receptionist, Julie, Lucie and Ana are very helpful and professional. Jean and Ana at the restaurant are excellent and making us feel comfortable. There is another gentleman that I dunno his name. Excellent team that the hotel should be proud of. We only booked a night for dinner and was very keen to have dinner at the restaurant for our last night. Julie and Lucie are very patient with our request and informed us when the booking is confirmed in due course. Our room is so neat and tidy with very comfortable bed. The food at the restaurant is so delicious and good value for money. The hotel itself is a charm and so pretty. My only comment may help the hotel to improve is the breakfast. I hope that they will have more staff to cook omelette or egg at the restaurant in particular when the weather is cold in the morning.

Great accommodation, great food but it all seemed very corporate and not enough of a personal touch.

Needs a few more amenities in the room : fridge ( mini bar ) face clothes

Allocated an attic room which was very quaint but not practical. Ceiling very low and the shower and wash basin was not at all private. Didn’t complain but should have in hindsight

Beautiful Hotel. We had a superior room and it definitely ws Superior. It was on the ground floor in the courtyard so easy access for me who has trouble with stairs. Great bathroom; you could almost say it was a wet room. Terrific shower.
Good restaurant with a great menu, the only downside to that was that if you stay more than 4 days you will have to go round the choices again. Lovely food though and the service was outstanding. Good breakfast too.
The WiFi is unsecured and you have to login to it with email address. I think they should have a secure guest network so you just need the password. Up and down speed was approx 100Mbs
My marking for the breakfast buffet presentation was purely because it was in a fairly cramped area. Range of offerings, however, was excellent.
Just a small comment about hotels in general - when you stay in a double room there is usually only 1 comfy chair. No exception here, sadly although peeking into the room next to us there appeared to be a settee.

This is a splendid old Normandy farm, now an excellent hotel.

Very charming hotel with big, spacious and original bedroom. Staff very welcoming and helpful.
Personally, I found the bed a little hard.
Dinner excellent.
All excellent value.

Beautiful hotel with friendly staff

Lovely setting, great building & architecture. Quiet, spacious & perfect service. Dinner overpriced.

Very good location at the Hotel it self

All very good except for the dinner which lacked an experienced chef. The food was bland and uninteresting with little imagination.

The hotel is a charming place that combines modernity with the soul of old stones.

Good overall but need to sort out the problem with the wifi. Its not ok to say the problem is with IPhones!

VERY NICE HOTEL.

Fabulous hotel!
Forgot to book restaurant so evening food limited (but loved what we had)
Very friendly helpful staff
Wish we had stayed more nights

The hotel is stunning and the staff are brilliant we had a great time and will not hesitate to return.

We always look forward to our welcome and stays at Ferme de la Ranconniere. We have visited five times now and I’m sure we’ll return many more times. It is a treat to stay there, to enjoy dining in the restaurant and to be welcomed as returning friends.

Beautiful location in The countriside of Normandy colse to’ The Sea. The strutture is beautiful and The rooms comfortable and large. Air conditioning is missing which was really needed in the middle of August. The restaurant is a nice experience ad team is very professional but the price is too high and not too much choice. Breakfast buffet is nice and overall a very nice experience.

A wonderful stay in this place full of charm and old stones mixed with a touch of modernity. The staff is very welcoming, professional and caring. The room was perfect, as was the restaurant, bar and breakfast. It is very pleasant to walk in the flowery and green gardens. A PERFECT stay!

Très bon accueil, les infos ont été envoyées avant l’arrivée.

an ideal place of calm for a couple of lovers.

Fabulous historic manor house and farm buildings with traditional and tasteful decor. The facilities are simple but we only stayed one day, so that was not a problem for us. Staff helpful and friendly.

The most amazing thing when we arrived was the beauty of the setting, the gardens, and the perfectly maintained buildings. The icing on the cake, the kindness and the availability of the staff. To sum up, we will come back, and will recommend this hotel to those around us!

Quality hotel in lovely surroundings. Very helpful hard working staff, would have no hesitation returning.

Wonderful! Historical, however, comforting and cosy at the same time.

Brilliant above standard hotel

Fantasique

Vety charming. Very far out in the country side.

The hotel and gardens are beautiful and very well maintained, however, we experienced a number of issues (see below) which means we are unlikely to return or to recommend others to stay.
1) We asked for a ground floor room for my elderly mother who has mobility issues. She was given a ground floor room but it had steps going into the room which made access difficult for her.
2) Restaurant had very limited vegetarian/vegan options (we had 2 vegetarians in our group)
3) Wi-Fi connection was extremely weak or non-existent in many parts of the hotel
4) The attic room (424) is in a location that could make it very difficult or impossible to evacuate in case of a fire
5) Air conditioner in room 424 was extremely noisy making it difficult to sleep at night.
6) Breakfast buffet set up is very ineffective. Access is extremely limited meaning it gets over-crowded and people wait excessive time to access the food.
7) Not easy to offload bags as all parking is a long way from most rooms and gravel paths make it impossible to roll heavy bags. No hotel staff offered to handle the bags for us.
8) Very limited storage space in the room for clothing which meant we could not unpack our suitcases

A terrific hotel. We hope to be back.

A quality stay. Great location. Easy access to the Normandy invasion beaches, etc. Friendly staff. Wonderful accommodations and meals. We stayed here four years ago and wanted to stay again to allow visits to Normandy sites not accessed on previous visit.

Everything was a perfect,

The room that was dedicated to us did not suit us, fortunately a reclassification was possible.

Exceptional Hotel, with a few caveats~ The facility is beyond charming, our (first floor) room was outstanding, restaurant is wonderful, parking is superb, and the location is great for touring the Normandy area. However~ the WiFi is absolutely abysmal and cell service is quite poor. So if you want to “get away” from pretty much all the external world this is your place.

Excellent, the room was perfect (a little small) and the food was excellent! The property and gardens were beautiful.

The hotel was chosen for its location and in particular the overall quality indicated by the advertising, this was to be our last two nights after two weeks in France and we wanted something special.
We were notified that the restaurant would be closed during our visit, too late to cancel and get a refund from Hotels.com, in fact it was open to guests who had booked several weeks before.
All we had to eat was an overpriced slate of cheese and meat in the bar, in which the service was virtually non existent .

A wonderful, BEAUTIFUL property - great staff.

Très bel Hôtel au calme de la campagne Normande. Le site est très beau, très fleuri , et surtout très propre. Extérieur comme intérieur, tout est nickel . Chambre spacieuse , fonctionnelle , très propre. Literie impeccable. Seul bémol, lorsque l'on se rend dans un hôtel 3 étoiles, on aimerait avoir aussi un petit déjeuner 3 étoiles. Il est certes complet , les serveurs sont attentionnés mais quand on sert des viennoiseries industrielles, cela dénote avec le lieu .

A beautifully and quietly located hotel not far from the beaches of Normandy. Great service and above all a good breakfast!

Very nice spacious and pleasant establishment
