Aggarthi Bed and Breakfast

You couldn’t find a more perfect position for the town of Bayeux. 1 min to all the attractions. The owner is wonderful and will do all she can to make your stay perfect. The breakfast is very varied and great choices. The Garden is wonderful and perfect for a relaxing evening drink after a long day out seeing the sights.

just had a motorcycling week touring Normandy and Brittany using the Aggarthi B&B again as our base ( six bikers). First our host, Diana was marvelous. Making us feel most welcome and providing a lovely French breakfast menu, also local tips for best places to eat/drink. Second, the accommodation makes you feel you are staying with a French family and not some nondescript chain type hotel , clean/ tidy/ stylish, with a great walled garden to chill out in after your day's touring. Third, location is spot on. Minutes walk to the centre of Bayeux with all it's attractions. Ideally placed for exploring northern France. Fourth, if like us you are on motorcycles there is secure parking for a number of bikes which are secure behind locked gates at night. Overall, great place to stay.

I loved everything about the Villa Aggarthi B&B! We took the train from Paris to Bayeux and it was an easy walk from the Bayeux train station to the B&B. The garden was just lovely! You can see the Bayeux Cathedral from the back yard. Diane was so kind and so accommodating! Nothing was too much trouble. We felt like family visiting rather than just guests! She rolled out a ping pong table for my son to play with in the courtyard. When we all got tired of playing him, she set it up so that he could play solo. Kept him occupied for hours! The room we had was actually two connecting rooms with a bathroom. Perfect for two adults and a moody teenager! Breakfast was sublime! It was served family style but separated for the different families. It was quite the spread! My son loved Diane's French Toast - she makes it using brioche. My husband really enjoyed the fresh eggs each morning from his friends the chickens - permanent residents of Villa Aggarthi! Everything in Bayeux was very close and walkable. I loved how private this place felt. There was so much of interest to look at everywhere you turned! If you love places that are historic and unique - this is quite a find!

Aggarthi B&B is a charming oasis just off the busy downtown of Bayeux. Our host was extremely well organized for our arrival and the room was comfy. She offered a delicious breakfast (fresh eggs from her chickens) every morning and made us welcome with other guests. The garden is a beautiful spot to relax in and have glass of wine in the afternoon. A big plus is free off street parking if you drive there. And Bayeux is a treasure! Thanks to the Allies for sparing the town on D-Day and to the British for building a ring road that exists to this day.

Our host Diana is an unbelievably one ultra-energetic human being who does it ALL by herself, with no help whatsoever, promptly, and with a big smile: hosting, preparing, serving, cleaning, fixing, gardening, making reservations, providing detailed recommendations, going out of her way to grant any request. One cannot but fall in love. Our room was OK, with good lighting, a good mattress (but fairly hard pillows), good insulation, basic but useful bathroom and shared kitchen. Breakfast was very good. The garden is beautiful. The private parking proved essential, and the location is unbeatable. Excellent vibe - other guests shared the same spirit. Would I come back? Absolutely. Do I recommend the place? Most definitely, but please do not expect to splurge. We stayed in Bayeux 3 nights in early October 2023. Our absolutely best dinner in our 10-day Normandy vacation was at Le Quarante Neuf, which in my book deserves a Michelin star and has fantastic value for money. About us: We are well-off, experienced travelers couple ages 67/73 who want to see it all. Our vacations are planned to the hour, and we prefer self-guidance. We are well versed in history, we love culture, music, food and wine. We try to alternate between city and nature vacations, including some exotic destinations (such as Namibia - see my slideshow in Youtube).
