Hôtel Particulier "le Clos de la croix"

Beautiful building over 250 years old. Gilles and Michael are wonderful hosts. I was worried about the lack of air conditioning during unseasonably warm weather, but the room was very comfortable on an 87 degree day. Breakfast was excellent. Gorgeous gardens out back, like a private oasis to have a glass of wine.

My husband and I rented three rooms for a family trip with my brother and adult niece. Gilles and Michael are hosts with the most. Warm and gracious, they frequently went out of their way to accommodate our early schedules despite no special requests on our part. Their B&B is beautifully decorated with a French country aesthetic that is occasionally accented by avant garde wall art. We would love to return again in the future.

We stayed at this Hotel Particulier (i.e. a Parisian style 'grand urban town house') for 3 nights in May with another couple. We were visiting the Normandy beaches and seeing the Bayeux Tapestry. I cannot recommend the hotel highly enough. It was an experience in itself over and above beautiful Bayeux. Michael and Gilles are the hosts and are extremely friendly and helpful for giving advice about where to go in the area etc. The building is essentially their home with 5 rooms for guests. It is decorated in a highly elaborate, quirky and interesting style. Each bedroom is huge. We had a walk in wardrobe, a sofa as well a big double bed and even then there was plenty of space to move around. Also a large bathroom. Although the hotel is central and accessed straight off the street, once inside it was very quiet and a haven of calm. The gardens are large and beautifully kept with plenty of areas to sit around in. There is a free public carpark immediately at the back of the building so very convenient. Breakfasts were a real treat with a different home-baked item every day with fresh jams. Michael and Gilles were very attentive in providing every need during our stay.

Le Clos de la Croix was the highlight of our trip! Gilles and Michael were warm, friendly, and incredible hosts. The property is immaculate, full of charm, and the breakfasts were delicious. This was our favorite B&B experience to date—we highly recommend it to anyone visiting Bayeux!

This charming B & B is the extrodinary home of Giles & Michael. It is a haven of peace and tranquillity with the most beautiful courtyard and gardens. Our room on the top floor was spacious with a lovely view of the cathedral. The bed was extremely comfortable, and the shower was spotlessly clean and hot. The breakfast was a joy. Homemade preserves and an array of cold meats, cheeses, bread, and pastries. One morning, Giles has made individual fruit crumbles, the best I have ever eaten. It is an easy walk into town to see the Bayeux Tapestry and all the other delights this little town has to offer.

This guest house was marvelous. The room was large and comfortable with a nice seating area, and the bathroom was immaculate. Gilles and Michael have filled their home with a wonderful collection of furnishings and art work and have created beautiful front and back gardens. The breakfast they served was delicious and substantial, including a different fresh pastry each day along with fresh fruit, bread, jams, and charcuterie. They are wonderful hosts, offering help and suggestions and made us feel totally at home in their amazing home.
