Le Chateau d’Audrieu

What a wonderful 3 night stay we enjoyed. The chateau's staff has to be the nicest we've encountered anywhere in the world. My sister stayed there in July and she said the same thing. Anna checked us in and showed us around - she's just darling, and everyone we encountered was so helpful and pleasant. We had room 30 which had a small entryway, a large sitting room, a large bedroom and two modern bathrooms - one with a tub and one with a shower. The chateau's interior is beautiful, the grounds are lovely and the breakfast buffet was delicious. It was an easy drive to Bayeux, to Caen and to the D-Day beaches. Highly recommend!

We spent a week in the Tree House for the first week of June during the 80th D-Day celebration. We would highly recommend it. It was very private, modern and offered great views of the property. Obviously if you can't do 44 steps everyday it is not for you. The...

We spent a week in the Tree House for the first week of June during the 80th D-Day celebration. We would highly recommend it. It was very private, modern and offered great views of the property. Obviously if you can't do 44 steps everyday it is not for you. The only caveats are the toilet is on one side of the room and the rest of the bathroom is on the other. Also the tub is high and a little difficult to get in and out of, as well as it is a handheld shower. We had a nice meal in the restaurant. All the staff was extremely friendly and helpful.

An elegant hotel with exceptional service. The gardens are beautiful and rooms well appointed. The five course meal Le Seran was remarkable.

An elegant hotel with exceptional service. The gardens are beautiful and rooms well appointed. The five course meal Le Seran was remarkable. A short drive from the American and British/Canadian beaches. In addition to the D-Day sites, I highly recommend a short trip to Bayeux. A truly special place to enjoy the Normandy country side. My highest recommendation.

5 stars is not enough. Booking Chateau d'Audrieu was the best decision, and unquestionably one of our favorite parts of our 10-day trip around France. About a week before our arrival, I called the hotel to ask about bedding and was nervous because I don't speak French. I believe it was Fabien with whom I spoke. He immediately (and warmly) spoke to me in English and assured me that the beds are excellent quality and very comfortable. When we arrived very late, Nelson was so kind to run out to us and help us with our luggage. He gave us several tips on how best to enjoy the Chateau what to expect during our time in Normandy. He then walked us to our room. It was incredible. We have stayed at many 5 star hotels, but I don't think I've ever been as charmed by a hotel room as I was by our Junior Suite. The ceilings have to be at least 15'. The hot air balloon decor was so pretty. The wood floors were beautiful, the bathroom was very modern, and the bed was very comfortable! Everything was perfect. One thing I want to mention is the personal attention to detail. When we first arrived, there was a bottle of wine, a welcome note, and a jar of cheese crisps. Over the course of our stay, we didn't really eat the cheese crisps. One day when we came back from our outings, I noticed that they had placed a new jar next to the bottle of wine, with butter cookies (having noticed that we weren't eating the cheese crisps.) Another such moment was when I had taken a small bottle of apple juice from the mini fridge. It was delicious, from a local orchard. Later that day when we arrived back at the chateau, a larger bottle had been placed in the fridge. I should mention that these items were a gift and free of charge. I know I'm giving a lot of detail, but I used to work at the Ritz Carlton; these acts of attention were trained into us as something guests should expect from a 5 star hotel. But not all luxury hotels are created equal, and to be honest, I haven't seen it much over my years traveling. However, I was very pleased to notice it at Chateau d'Audrieu and was very appreciative. We never had a chance to eat dinner at the Michelin star restaurant, Le Seran, on property, however we did have breakfast each morning and the food was very fresh and delicious. I had a delightful avocado toast each morning and my husband had a custom-made omelet. He requested some sort of hot sauce. They didn't have any on hand, but went out of their way to make one with a special type of chili pepper. Alexandre Le Grand, Nazar, and another man with blonde hair (I wish I had gotten his name), were so kind in serving us at the restaurant! Everyone at the hotel whom we encountered was lovely and kind. Nelson, Fabien, Alexandre Le Grand, Nazar, Anna Marion, the nice blonde gentleman, (and one other lady whose name I didn't get)...thank you! You truly raise the bar for kindness, hospitality and luxury. We can't wait to come back again.

This is a remarkable place to stay; the staff is excellent and the property is absolutely lovely. Everyone at the Chateau treated us like royalty, anything we needed, we just let them now and they responded right away. If we're ever back in Normandy we will plan to stay again.

Do not be deceived! There is no luxury here. The restaurant could not accommodate us. Imagine being told this after a long day of travel to a luxury resort. The taxi ride was € 50 each way to get something to eat that evening. No offer to help with the cost. Also we were told the bar would be not available after 7 pm due to maximum capacity for the dinner crowd. The bar was empty all evening ? The guest rooms are not up to luxury standards. No plug ins for our accessories ,crawling on the floor looking for outlets. The room was small and the beds seem old. The grounds keeper gets the award for keeping the grounds beautiful. It appears that there is a shortage of staff everywhere. One of the worst run hotels I have every stayed at.

The amazing chateau has been completely renovated. It still sits on a very large park like property that is enjoyable to stroll. All the amenities you would expect- fine dining and a cozy bar. Rooms are large. Our suite was amazing. Great site for weddings and small business events.

Incredibly poor service. I booked a Suite and was then contacted by Front Desk to advise me there was no restaurant availability. I was given a blunt response that I could move the date, which does not fit with my trip to Normandy. The General Manager has not even had...

Incredibly poor service. I booked a Suite and was then contacted by Front Desk to advise me there was no restaurant availability. I was given a blunt response that I could move the date, which does not fit with my trip to Normandy. The General Manager has not even had the manners to respond to my complaint. I struggle to understand how this hotel is included in the Relais and Chateaux list, as the customer service standards are appalling.
