Relais des 3 Pommes

The location and easy parking sells this place for me. It is unfussy motel style accommodation, a simple room and bathroom, comfortable and quiet with a little outdoor space in front of your room. I've stayed before so I knew what I was getting. The bathroom has been upgraded since my first visit and is a good improvement and modern. We tour on a motorcycle and the parking is right in front of your room. The manager is friendly and speaks English and check-in is simple with good local information. You can walk into Bayeux by following the path beside the river Aure. It's not far, about twenty minutes, but bring a torch if you plan coming back at night.

We have stayed in very hot weather and in rainy weather. Both extremes stress the accommodation's limitations. The rooms have a sliding door which is access and ventilation and closed at night in hot weather means the room gets stuffy. A couple of the rooms have a small window in the fixed part of the sliding door and that makes a difference in hot weather. A secure way of locking the sliding door part open would be another solution. Having said that we slept with the door ajar without feeling we would be disturbed. In rainy weather it's a bit gloomy sitting outside under the shelter of the overhanging roof. Again, there's an excellent bar and restaurant on site to lift the spirits.
