Well worth a visit!
Beautiful property. Very attentive hosts. Delicious breakfast. Well worth a visit! Just outside Falaise which is a lovely small town with good restaurants, shops and bars. Stunning castle and cathedral! Beware the satnav. Our tomtom took us to the wrong place!

Stayed here to break up journey to Brittany. We had originally booked 2 rooms for our family of 5 but we were given the use of a charming, self contained cottage instead, which meant we could all be together. The cottage was full of character, spotlessly clean and had its own private garden. The beds were the most comfortable beds we have ever slept in. Breakfast was delicious.. fresh bread, croissants, cereal, cheese and ham, and amazing homemade jams. We were free to explore the beautiful grounds and were made to feel exceptionally welcome, thank you. We are looking forward to our return stay on Saturday!

Absolutely Perfect
We cannot say enough good things about the Domaine de la Tour B&B. The setting is absolutely picturesque, and the lodging itself was beautiful and comfortable -- with spacious, gorgeous rooms. Mark and his family are excellent hosts -- kind, welcoming, thoughtful and attentive to details. Plus, we found the town of Falaise to be an unexpected surprise with its beautiful village and fascinating history related to William the Conquerer and the second World War. In a week full of great visits and lodging, the Domaine de la Tour B&B was a standout -- as was Falaise.

Scene of a Bad 70s Horror Movie
On a trip of a lifetime, to Paris, Switzerland and then Normandy, we had booked this quaint place for two nights. After an unexpected 12 hours behind the wheel due to road conditions, we arrived very tired and in need of a comfortable bed. On the way, we couldn’t locate the property on our cars GPS. Somebody may have deleted it so that unwary travelers would avoid this place. We could find the small town though and switched to the map link sent by the hotel. It took us quite a ways down a narrow lane with tall vegetation n both sides. Arriving late at night we found three buildings forming a square like some kind of processing plant in the middle of nowhere. Nobody was moving and the buildings had a few lights on in the lower levels. No guest rooms of any kind could be seen. Using our cell phone flashlights we found reception and rang the bell many times. No answer. We then called the hotel. No answer. We were standing in a pea gravel lined courtyard surrounded by drains. The buildings did not match the photo on the website. Similar but the windows were different. And the website showed only one building. Cold, tired, and standing in the dark we had the overwhelming feeling of a bad 70s movie. There was no way we would stay a night here. But if you enjoy that movie genre, this might be just the place for you

Thank you for your review. I seems that you did not find us. There is no processing plant or whatever here, just beautiful nature. Clearly you were not in the right place. I tried to contact you the day before and the day of arrival by phone and by Expedia but no news from you.

Beautiful country retreat.
Our second stay at this beautiful B&B and the hospitality shown by Mark and Noelle was once again superb. The spacious family room has the most comfortable bed and the breakfast is delicious with the most amazing homemade jams. Kids loved the play equipment especially the go carts! We will be back next year!

A warm welcome from the owner of this beautiful wow factor property, very stylish interior, comfortable bed and en suite. Breakfast was very nicely served with fresh breads and home made preserves, cheese and ham. I want to go back and stay there again sometime soon and would recommend it to my friends and family with confidence. This would also make a beautiful location for a wedding and reception in the summer months.

Overall amazing
As a family of four, sometimes it is difficult to find a hotel which truly accommodates families. The grounds included a small playground, a petting farm, plenty of places for picnics and running. The room was large enough to allow the children a place to play while not being underfoot. Each morning, there was a delight spread of fresh breads, and jams along with cereal for the children. The host of the hotel seemed to understand the needs of a family. We truly enjoyed our time in Normandy.

Fantastic B & B in lovely country setting
My wife and I stayed here on our way down to Le Mans Classic. It's set in the countryside in a beautiful area in converted stables, next to what can only be described as a country mansion (it used to be an Earls country residence). We were running late, but this was no issue to the owners who rang us to check that all was OK and we hadn't experienced any problems.

We had a lovely welcoming reception from the owners upon arrival giving us a comprehensive overview of the hotel and nearby city. The suite was roomy even with two extra beds for our little ones. Breakfast was equally friendly with anything you wanted provided. A great place to stop before heading to the ferries at Caen.

Must stay there!
There was nothin to criticise in respect of our stay which we extended from 2 to 3 nights. Amenities were exceptional, a kitchen, down stairs sitting room, cultured gardens, we found staying there bliss.There is so much history in the nearby area that our exploration of this part of Normandy was exceptional. Mark and his young family were welcoming and friendly they were also able to tell us about the area.We highly recommed a visit to this ex Hunting Lodge.

Falaise is a GREAT stop before or after the ferry
Worth a stop if travelling furter into France, but NOT on a Monday as virtually all restaurants in Falsise are closed, very difficult to get an evening meal! Domaine de la Tour is excelent, very helpful and friendly, great situation,restful but a good base for exploring the region.

A little historical oasis-
Domain de la Tour has become one of my favourite mini- escape locations- we only had one night as it was our half-way mark on our way back to the U.K. However, I intend to keep the address at the top of my list, as it was truly exceptional in beauty, history as well as exemplery in management.

Beautiful hotel on a beautiful setting in a beautiful countryside. We used is as an overnight stay and regtretted not staying longer. We had a lovely family room - everything was clean - and were also provided with a cot, baby bath and high chair in the room. The owners were very friendly and accommodating - they were fluent in French, English and Dutch. Breakfast was great - continental with lovely home made jams! There was also a play area outside for young kids. And the price was very reasonable. We will definitely go there again.

A Great Stopover or Base for Local Sights
Mark is a superb and generous (Dutch) host and the property refurbished to a very high standard. B&B rates are very competitive, and the included continental breakfast was one of the best. Security was good as the hotel is slightly off the beaten track, the downside to this might be a requirement to drive the short distance to Falaise for an evening meal. Falaise itself is a lovely little town and Wiiliam the Conquerer's Castle is well worth a visit. This hotel is ideal for anyone requiring a quiet stopover en route to/from the ports of Caen, Cherbourg or Le Havre, alternatively it makes a great place to stay for a quiet or romantic weekend.
