Manoir de Conjon

Twelve kilometres inland from Bayeux's Norman coastline, Manoir de Conjon occupies a stone manor house set among farmland in Crouay, a hamlet quieter than the tourist-heavy tapestry town itself. Free on-site parking suits travellers arriving by car rather than rail.

Rooms include family-configured options with private bath, and breakfast is served in-house rather than outsourced to a nearby cafe. The manor works as a base for exploring the D-Day beaches and Bayeux's cathedral without paying town-centre rates.

Non-smoking throughout, with WiFi covering guest rooms and common areas alike.
