Formigny La Bataille Vacations from $2,594

Having checked we were definitely not given the room we paid for. We booked Superior King but were given Comfort Twin. Yes we should have said something but big queue at reception and shouldn't make mistake like that. Tatty towels and frayed bathmat. Shower very good, beds comfortable. Breakfast very good and staff friendly and helpful

Gently fading grandeur. We had a lovely time and the pool/spa are very nice. Staff were friendly. Bar prices seem to reflect what this hotel used to be like, rather than its current state of maintenance as a few things weren't working eg room phones, spa shower. We didn't eat in the restaurant but it looked lovely.

Wonderful stay! Beautiful Manor, lovely setting - very peaceful. Hosts were very kind and were especially helpful when we had to make some changes due to my son’s health. Would recommend highly!!

Beautiful old property done up with Wiliam Morris style fabrics and a nod to the past in all the tasteful furnishings. It was well-located to the famous beaches. The staff were nice in the bar. Reception person was not unfriendly but not really full of enthusiasm. The problem with such beautiful old hotels is that there either has to be a busy town or the restaurant on-site has to give customers a reason to eat there. Also some of the rooms are dark so my husband paid extra to get us upgraded to a more cheerful room - would have been nice if the hotel gave us a courtesy upgrade. Expedia either has to be clear when the rooms are selected with genuine pictures or the hotel has to be more helpful. Also for those who don't know the area, it would be nice to be met with a bit of history about the property and some suggestions of what to do around the town. This is a suggestion rather than a complaint but it would go a long way to making it a super special stay.

Tout était parfait, un hôtel à la hauteur de sa réputation
