Nothing

Everything! Although it is advertised as a B&B, Clos de Bellefontaine felt more like a luxurious boutique hotel. Carole is an incredible host! The house is beautiful; the gardens lovely. My suite was immaculate. Breakfasts were plentiful and delectable—bread, croissants, homemade jams, orange juice, a bowl of fresh fruit, a huge selection of teas and coffee, a different cheese each day. While I was there I also had brioche French toast and raspberry cake Carole made from raspberries picked from her garden. You can easily walk to the Bayeux Tapestry and the Bayeux Cathedral from the house. Carole suggested restaurants in Bayeux. I sampled two and they were great. Staying at Clos de Bellefontaine was a wonderful experience, one that shouldn’t be missed.

Just be aware that checkin is only from 6:00-7:00pm. At least that was our understanding and that is when we checked in.

Loved Carole, the owner. She has taken great care in curating all the things in her B&B including home made rose confiture from the roses in her garden. Bed was good. Free secured parking was great.

This property is quiet, well maintained and clean with a private parking space. Carole is most helpful and serves a hearty breakfast.

What a beautiful home and setting so close to the center of Bayeux with private parking. Our host Carole was so welcoming and accommodating. The breakfast room table was beautifully set, and everything served was outstanding. Would stay again if we return to the Normandy coast. Larry & Kathryn Dollard

Hard pressed to think of anything. Just a great place and would highly recommend

A Beautiful home located walking distance from all main shopping and dining areas. Carole was so gracious and provided a lovely breakfast each day. All 3 bedrooms were unique and well decorated. The grounds were well kept and enjoyable to sit out and be entertained by kitty and cute pup.

Nothing to dislike!

Carole is an amazing host. Her B&B is immaculate and charming, and her breakfasts are wonderful. She also gave us great information about restaurants in Bayeux and tips about trips to other locations. We had a fabulous stay at Clos de Bellefontaine.

Beautiful house and garden. Interior furnishings very tasteful.

The lack of a door (or even a curtain) in the shower was inconvenient as there were splashes of water all over the bathroom, which is BTW quite large. Also, a holder for the shower was missing, so to get a shower you need to hold the shower by yourself. Not a tragedy but an inconvenience that can be easily solved.

The location was superb, as well as the breakfast that was plenty of fresh fruits, cheeses, egg/pancakes, jams, etc., not to mention the just baked baguettes and croissants. The place is top-notch design, and Nicole was always ready to assist with suggestions, places, and restaurants to visit.

Beautiful maintained classic French country house, on a residential street just blocked from the downtown. Beautifully maintained grounds. Carol is a charming host. The cost per night that includes an INCREDIBLE breakfast makes it a wonderful place to stay during your tour of Normandy.

Location was good, Breakfast was amazing, many things home cooked and delicious. Our room was immaculate and large Carole attentive and answered all our questions, helped booking nearby restraunts, made us feel really at home. Will definately be back.

The shower for our room was a bathtub with handheld shower. The tub was a bit slippery & would not be too easy for older folks. Though the stairs didn’t bother us, there was no elevator ( very common in France). These were not negative s for us, only something to be aware of when booking.

This is a very lovely property. An old home that has been renovated on the edge of town. It is a few minutes walk to town. It is very quiet, well appointed, comfortable and serves a very full breakfast. The garden is beautiful too. We would definitely recommend this, and would love to return here!

Beautiful home with everything you need for a relaxing and comfortable stay. Close to town, so you could walk to the sites, restaurants and the train station. Carole is a wonderful host and provides many wonderful touches to your stay - excellent breakfast, complimentary beverages, documentary videos of the locations you might be visiting, and lots of literature to give you additional ideas for touring.

This is NOT a complaint...just a recommendation. If you experience mobility issues and/or are very tall, you may want to consider not staying in the attic (third floor) guest room, as it requires climbing a narrow set of spiral stairs, and the sloped ceilings in the bedroom and bathroom present a potential contact hazard for your head.

The property was impeccably maintained - inside and outside. Everything was clean and fully functional. The location was ideal for exploring Bayoux and a reasonable commute to the Normandy attractions. Our host (Carole) was friendly and thorough, and prepared a 5-star breakfast each morning. A positive experience in every respect!

This is one of the best accomodations we have ever been to - comfort, space, homemade breakfast jams, breads and compotes. Attention to detail was exceptional as was the personalised service Carole gave. Absolutely superbe!
