Rooms
Château La Chenevière prides itself on combining classic style and sophistication with all the amenities of a five-star property. The rooms are individually decorated in an understated but elegantly refined manner, with pastel hues and a combination of traditional features and contemporary fabrics, minimal clutter and fresh flowers. Complimentary Wi-Fi, safes, minibars, bathrobes and slippers come as standard. Some of the higher category rooms contain Jacuzzi bathtubs, seating areas and large closets.
Location
Located in the countryside of Normandy with views of the surrounding farms and hillsides, Château La Chenevière is about a 15-minute drive from central Bayeux, and 20 minutes from its train station, which is a gateway to the rest of France. The property is ideally situated for exploring the D-Day beaches and is only about a 20-minute drive from Omaha Beach, while Utah Beach is 45 minutes away.
Food and drink
Breakfast consists of an array of hot and cold items such as fresh juices, coffee, tea, cheeses, meats, eggs, pastries and the property’s homemade honey. A ‘pop up’ restaurant also serves lunch on the property from late-spring to September, but the real gem is the gourmet dinner restaurant, The Botanist. Here, the focus is on local seasonal ingredients which are crafted into two prix-fixe (set price) menus, with amuse-bouches served between each course.
Families
A shallow children’s pool is attached to the main pool.
Facilities and activities
During your stay, you can make use of a heated outdoor pool, complimentary bicycles, a small gym and a spa. Outside there are multiple seating areas, as well as a tennis court and a vegetable garden that provides some of the food for the property’s restaurants.
Accessibility
The hotel itself is wheelchair accessible but is surrounded by a gravel walkway and patio which could cause some difficulty for those with reduced mobility.
