Bed & Breakfast Aggarthi - Bayeux

7.7

Helpful, but probably a bit overfriendly owner. There was a bit of a confusion concerning which guest booked which room, but all was settled in a correct way. The location was excellent, the breakfast room was a bit overcrowded, the room was very nice and clean, but rather cold.

8.4

Chose this B+B having read several complimentary reviews regarding this property. The location is excellent right in the centre of Bayeux,close to train station, Bayeux Tapestry museum,Cathedral and many good restaurants. Madame Myriam was most helpful re D Day Tours, walks, sightseeing, restaurants etc. Our room was in the attic, spacious, bright and airy with a good sized en-suite. Small kitchen downstairs where guests are served continental breakfast. Guests have access to courtyard and garden. We enjoyed our short stay there, and would recommend it to other travellers.

This place was beautiful. The owner is very friendly and helpful and sweet. The room was very clean and the bed was so comfortable! Location was excellent -walking distance to everything in town. The town is very adorable. Breakfast was very yummy and filling! (fresh croissants and bread with pear jam). Cute dogs!

8.4

This B&B is in a great location in the historic section of Bayeux. Our hostess gave very good recommendations for tours and restaurants and made us feel very welcomed. The attic room was small but the bed was very comfortable and the bathroom very nice.

8.4

A great place! We had a very good welcome, the hostess was very helpful and kind, clean quiet rooms and very close to all the attractions in Bayeux. If we ever go back to Bayeux, we will surely come back to Aggarthi again!

la signora Miriam è stata gentilissima, ci ha addirittura consigliato dei ristoranti non turistici, facendoci vedere i menu. la camera era molto accogliente e pulita. da consigliare! bayeux è una cittadina molto bella, con un bel mercato.

Our hostess was very welcoming and friendly. We loved her 3 dogs and the location was perfect for seeing the town and close to the Tapestry. She is very good at offering suggestions for places to go and restaurants. The room upstairs was cute, but because of the angles of the ceiling would be difficult for someone who is tall. Also, if you like to sleep late it is not quiet when the other guests are having breakfast. It is perfect for a one or two night stay, and a good value. She served the best fresh croisants for breakfast, but my main complaint was that if she has a full house there is not enough room for everyone to sit at the table. Our 2nd morning there we were rushed out by our hostess so that others could sit.

Having just spent 4 nights in Paris, it was a wonderful change to stay in a B&B with this level of service. Mme Miriam was fabulous hostess, and the rooms were quite large (for French standards) and very new. Mme Miriam, took the time to present several restaurants & menus to us (including telling us which ones were closed that evening). Breakfast was the traditional croissants and coffee served at the time of our choosing. Knowing we only had one day to tour the sights (and I hadn't done all my homework), Mme Miriam laid out a wonderful tour of the Normandy Invasion Museums and sights! We followed her suggestions, and they were excellent! Overall our stay was wonderful, and the service EXCELLENT!

I booked a double and was given an attic-style room with severely slopped cielings. It felt somewhat claustrophobic however it was clean and the bathroom was big enough. The owner is very knowledgable and told us where to eat, where to find ATMs, etc. She was more than willing to help in any way she could. Also a complete breakfast was included with the room which was great. It's a very small bed and breakfast but it's perfect if you're in town for a few days visiting Normandy Beach.

When my husband was not able to travel with me, I contacted my sister, who was able to take his place. So this report is written by Jeanne Quinn. We had the most wonderful experience at the Aggarthi B&B! It could not have been better. I'm almost afraid to tell others of this amazing gem in Bayeux for fear that we will not be able to get a room next year when I hope to return with my husband. The owner is the perfect hostess. When she recommends a restaurant, be sure to listen. You will not be disappointed. She will map out places of interest and privide excellent directions. The location of the B&B allows you to walk to all the sights in Bayeux. Two blocks away is the famous Bayeux tapestry, yet the B&B is so secluded behind an ancient wooden gate with a quiet courtyard and garden that you would never know that are are right in the center of the town. Also, you are just a few miles from the Normandy landing beaches and other Normandy sights. Another plus is that the train station for a two-hour trip to Paris is within walking distance (seniors, be sure to get the senior train rate). My sister and I dropped our car off at Hertz in Bayeux on the last day and took the train to Paris for the rest of our French trip. As for the accommadations at Aggarthi, the room and bath were bigger than expected and very clean and nicely furnished. Even the bed was comfortable. Breakfast was the usual French bread, croissant, orange juice, and coffee; but, the homemade jam from the owner's pear & plum trees was out of this world. I only wish we could have brought some home. If I figure out how to send pictures , I will do so. I loved this place.

Our stay with Madame Aggarthi was lovely. Located in the centre of town, behind imposing wooden gates, we weren't sure we had the right place when we arrived. But then Mdm Aggarthi opened the large gates with a friendly smile and ushered us into a beautiful country cottage courtyard. It's like Narnia. We were shown to our compact but well laid-out room (with en suite). The rooms are in a separate block to Madame Aggarthi's residence, so you don't feel as though you are intruding. It's easy to relax. Our host took her time talking to us, judging our level of French (which she had obviously realised we wanted to practice) and talking at the appropriate speed (she dipped into English when necessary). She recommended restaurants (you'd do well to take her advice) and offered to help plan our stay. All in all, it was ace.

9.8

Short and easy walk from train station. Very modern and clean bathroom. Lovely breakfast area. Our hostess shared restaurant recommendations and told us where the locals eat. Wish we had stayed here longer.

Our stay at Agarthy was absolutely amazing. Myriam was so nice, welcoming and gave us a detailed map and directions to he D-Day beaches and what order we should do these. We are planning to go back and will definitely stay there. All of our friends who are planning a visit to this area have been recommended to stay at Agarthy. Thank You Myrium

the other guests were interesting and nice.

9.7

Great stay, charming hostess (and younger hosts). Very helpful for information on outings and places to dine.

9.9

Myriam was fabulous. We loved her hospitality, sense of humor and openness. She planned our entire D-Day itinerary, with lots of suggestions for must-sees in Bayeux and where to eat, etc. We so loved being in her home. Meeting her was a highlight of our trip to France.

8.3

Lovely little B&B in the centre of Bayeux, close to all amenities. Very friendly lady who owns Aggarthi and was very helpful with locations and information.

9.9

An outstanding place to stay. An excellent jump of point to explore the D-Day Beaches. On quiet street with secure parking. Big, clean room, with a quality breakfast included. The owner is very welcoming and has a wealth of information about the area. Only down side would be how early the town closes down. Get out and eat early.

8.9

Our stay at Aggarthi was wonderful, mainly due to the hospitable welcome from the family that runs it. We found her and her children to be extremely kind and helpful and we would highly recommend this place to other travelers.

8.4

we loved the location. we loved the building. we really appreciated the owner of the B& B. She is very helpful, a very good guide (we saw a lot in just 2 1/2 days), she is very funny and can give you a lot of information. We had a great time staying at this B & B. You are in the heart of Bayeux and can walk to all the sites.

9.4

Once we got her attention, Mme Aggarthi was wonderfully helpful and welcoming. The first morning she had taken the day off and her daughter just put out the food. The second morning, Mme Aggarthi mistook a French couple's golf bags for ours and therefore offered none of the conversation or planning help this B&B is famous for. By the second afternoon, we had communicated and got all the friendly, detailed advice we'd missed and more, including a fantastic restaurant reservation, so our hint: Don't be shy; explain what you want. Moreover, they're originally from Paris, and we followed her generously detailed explanation of things to do around our rental apartment there, too. We'd go back to Aggarthi in a minute! By the way, directions on Venere are sketchy and we spent 45 minutes finding the B&B the first time!

We stayed only one night at B&B Aggarthi, and I'm sorry that we couldn't stay longer. The owner--I believe her name is Miriam--was so friendly, welcoming, and helpful. The breakfast included excellent coffee, juice, bread, pastries, and homemade jam. Our room and bathroom were spotless and tastefully decorated. Parking was free, inside the gated yard. The guest rooms are in a separate building from the main house. There's a small kitchen on the first floor of this building where breakfast is served. I believe that one of the guest rooms opens directly into this kitchen, so be warned that you may be awakened by other guests if you like to sleep late. Everything was otherwise perfect and an excellent value.

Christian and Myriam were absolutely delightful and made our stay very warm and comfortable. Christian went above and beyond by taking us to get our rental car and making sure everything was in order with it. Myriam spent time to map out our trip to Normandy beaches and gave us good advice.

8.2

Very nice people. Very well placed hotel, at 5mn walk from the famous tapestry, in the center of Bayeux. We recommend this 'Bed and Breakfast'. The room we had was small, we were told it's the smallest one. The window was opening on the street so it was a bit noisy. There was no room to park our car inside, I think we can hardly park 2 cars there ; there were works in the main house and the parking place was occupied by the workers. We could find parking place in the street.

9.7

The B&B is very close to all of the Bayeux sights - just one crossroad away. The family which runs it is very nice and always offers good advice and good services. We've enjoyed our stay there a lot and also got to hear some stories about the Normandie and some calvados to taste! Lovely.

9.9

Aggarthi is a wonderful place to stay...close enough to being in the middle of things and just distant enough to be away from noise. Room was absolutely delightful; breakfast offerings were delicious and help with sightseeing very knowledgeable. Would return in a heartbeat!

8.6

Il B&B è molto accogliente. Si trova al centro di Bayeux, vicino a tutte le attrazioni turistiche ed è un posto molto calmo e rilassante.I propietari sono molto cortesi e gentili. Camere spaziose e confortevoli, con una certa cura nel dettaglio. In generale ci siamo trovati molto bene e la sig.ra Miriam molto gentilmente mi ha realizzato un itinerario "su misura" per visitare le spiagge dello sbarco ottimizzando i tempi di trasferimento. Questo B&B è un'ottima base per la visita dei luoghi del D-DAY. Inoltre ci è stata molto d'aiuto per un problema con il noleggio auto. Se fosse stato bel tempo avremmo fatto la colazione nel giardino. Inoltre i propietari hanno simpatia per gli italiani.

E' stata una tappa della nostra vacanza in Normandia posto bellissimo e la signora miriam è davvero deliziosa da consigliare!

Wonderful place to stay, you'd never guess that this is hidden away behind a door in central Bayeux... this was definitely the highlight of our week's stay in France. Lovely family, really friendly, very welcoming, beautiful breakfast in the garden the next morning - we'll definitely go back next time we're there.

9.9

Great location. Very nice family that runs the B&B.

9.6

We absolutely loved staying at Aggarthi. Miriam, owner,is terrific,helpful,sweet,warm and a perfect host. The place was lovely and the coffee delicious. We could not have asked for anything better.

8.1

We stayed in Bayeux for 2 nights and found the location of the Aggarthi perfect with just a short walk into town. It is easy access to the train station and close to the famous Tapestry and Cathedral. The owners are very obliging and helpful. There are three rooms, one downstairs and two upstairs with a shared kitchen downstairs and this could have the potential to be noisey for the downstairs room however we did not have any problems. We enjoyed the stay and would go back.

9.1

A lovely place to stay, right in the centre of town. Breakfast in the garden highly recommended and the owner charming.

Only stopped one night but no complaints - clean, warm and well located for central Bayeux.

Very friendly basic accommodation in a very good location. Renovation works were in progress and the accommodation will improve.

9.9

Excellent B&B, highly recommended!

8.9

This B & B is conveniently located to the Tapestry at Bayeux and not far from the Normandy beaches in a lovely town. Owners had lots of info available for touring the area. The rooms themselves were very clean and comfortable and with good weather we were able to have breakfast in the garden with other guests. I would definitely recommend this B & B.

9.7

A great place to stay. Does not have many rooms, but the rooms are updated and clean. Very secure with private parking off the street. Myriam, the owner and her family were outstanding. Her welcoming attitude and advice on the sites made our stay. Within walking distance of the tapestry and cathedral. Within 15 min. of D-day beaches. Included breakfast simple but good.

7.6

Very nice people, a joy to meet.

Situated in a beautiful town, this B&B exceded our expectations. The owner Miriam and her family made us feel welcome!!! They also had menu's of local restaurants available and gave excellent advice on touring the Normandy area. Will definately return.

8.5

We were very pleased with the accomodation and it was our favourite place while we were in France. The standard of everything was high and the family made us very welcome and made efforts to speak english while we tried to respond in French.

9.5

This is a great property, just at the edge of Bayeux near the Bayeux Tapestry and the Cathedral. Myriam the owner is fantastic, very helpful and friendly. The breakfast is pretty basic but nice. Would recommend this B&B to anyone going to Bayeux.
