We've stayed at this hotel probably half a dozen times now and it really is a good find. The only note I'd give is to ensure you ask for one of the better and bigger rooms as these are lovely with mullioned windows and big old beds and much much more spacious than some of the cheaper ones. The price difference isn't that much and it's definitely worth it.

Bricquebec is a nice but small town to wander around before dinner.

We've eaten both in the restaurant and at another restaurant in the town. I noticed on on our most recent visit that the restaurant in the hotel had significantly improved since our first visit, we had a really lovely meal and they were good in providing a menu for the younger children, the wine list was also great.

Breakfast is fruit, yoghurt and bread etc. The breakfast room is quite small and it can feel a bit cramped and overbusy but this is a really small gripe.

I'd definitely recommend this hotel for a short break if you're visiting the area or for an overnight stop on your way to and from the ferry at Cherbourg from which it's about a half hour's drive.

We stayed for three days in this amazing location, sleeping in an 11th century fortress is impressive! We had room #1 and it is nice, not big but enough to be comfortable with a decent-size bathroom so it worth the extra cost.

We had dinner at the restaurant twice, the food is very good and prices are reasonnable for the quality of food and service (they understand what gluten-free means :). We did not have breakfast at the hotel so will not comment on it.

Overall we recommend it!

We have stayed at this hotel a number of times over the past ten years and were encouraged by the news that it had changed hands a couple of years ago and that there had been some changes made. Located within the walls of the Chateau in the centre of town, the location is impressive. The food was always good, and is now even better, with a comprehensive wine list for all tastes and budgets. The rooms, though are not good, in fact the only good rooms are the two large ones at the front with the huge windows - some are very small with bathrooms that would be impossible for anyone of "generous" proportions. The worst, however, is the buffet breakfast and would be more suited to a budget guest house in a run-down English resort. Very tired fruit which must have been offered for several days, a waitress who appeared only to serve a hot drink and not to bother about replenishing any of the items on offer, and to top it all - costing 11 Euros!. Maybe it was on "off" day but we weren't going to take the chance and so ate in a neighbouring hotel on our second day where it was superb, we were made to feel valued and welcome, and at little more than half the cost.

Just spent three nights at this Castle/chateau hotel. Very friendly staff and great food. Rooms clean and comfortable but bear in mind that the original building is centuries old. Would recommend a room overlooking the courtyard and not the road to the rear of the property. Great base to explore and overall excellent value for money.
