Camping le Château de Martragny — Hotel in Bayeux

Family room was OK not well equipped double and single bed (family room) but had to pay extra for the extra bed, no head boards just against the wall and the pillows were cushions with no covers and due to the floor the beds moved very easily and would need to straighten them up and push them back against the wall. Wood floor and had to go up steps to enter the bathroom, bath was OK but the plug had to be put in and pressed down while turning the knob to lower it in place but let water out quite quickly, shower was the type off the taps but had no where to hang it so was only able to use it hand held also there was no shower screen of any type. Only two sockets for power in the room and one in the bathroom. One wardrobe with one high shelf and a hanging rail. No facilitates such as a kettle or TV and the free WIFI was very poor in fact difficult to get a signal and dropped out regularly. Entry to the chateaux was via a keypad lock but the door did not close so if the person did not close it properly it stayed open, door lock were in "period" so a very basic and not very secure one with the old style key that I would not have been surprised to find it was the same as others. Staircase is obviously old and the steps lean ( or slope) from the wall giving it an insecure feel the banister was also very flimsy and moved to the touch. During one "tour" of the building guests asked about some of the items that were brought out to be viewed, some of which we had already looked at as they were in the draws of furniture in the entrance hall, this contained ammunition and on inspection some of these were still live after the tour had finished I asked the person who took it if anyone had commented about the ammunition being still live the reply was that there were only a few bullets that were live !!!||Breakfast was good and the service was very good. Housekeeping if there was any made no difference in the rooms in fact if you were in need of say loo roll you needed to pick more up from a box in the hall way which was filled daily! Parking for the rooms was limited to about 2-3 cars worth but one of these was set aside for the flat to park their vehicle in. Restaurant the waitress and yes there was just one was running around all night and did a very good job dealing with the guests as she was on her own. The food was generally good but not of the best quality on the last night my son had a steak which was about 1/4 gristle which could not be eaten when this was pointed out, which was after we had finished, we could not say anything before as the waitress was running around and was difficult to get hold of, on pointing this out (the gristle was on the plate and was as I said about 1/4 of the "meat") the reply we had was OK! and nothing else not even a sorry about that. The bar man was friendly but a shame he was wearing the same t-shirt of 3 days unless that is that he owns 3 of the same Star wars millennium falcon shirt, be aware if you order water, tap water that is it comes in a bottle that we saw being filled from the tap and it costs 3 Euros and evening meal of main and dessert for 5 of us come to about 109 Euros per night. If camping there are sinks for washing utensils and a laundry on site but you need tokens from the shop. The shop was. The shop was very basic but OK the fruit whirls however are very good. There are two pools but I did not use them while there. ||The house is a very nice one full of charm but as a place to stay it needs basic updates to make it to a standard you would expect from the price.||All in all I would say it was a basic place to stay with the basics available but could benefit greatly from having some money spent on it to improve the rooms, beds, bathroom facilities, availability of power outputs, more than one chair in a family room would be a good idea to save having to sit on the beds and public areas as well as the...

We have just returned from a week @ Chateau de Martragny... what an absolute delight!||A relaxed atmosphere in a beautiful setting. Great amenities for kids and adults alike. The swimming pool and area are beautiful - and what a backdrop!||Lots of people seemed to stay 'en route' to somewhere else - we stayed for a week and didn't tire of the campsite. Days out at Arromanche, Asnelles, Bayeux, Honfleur and Deauville made the trip even more memorable. But the best bit was always getting back to the campsite and relaxing in the lovely surroundings.||Even a storm and a couple of flooded tents (entirely our fault!) didn't dampen our spirits. The 'bailing out' just added to the adventure ...||Talking of water, the shower block was modern, clean and always with hot water and lots of loo roll - the important things! ||A few tips:|- Think about where you would like your pitch - would ask for a pitch near the chateau/pool, not on the driveway (although you probably have more space here)|- Make sure you are at the well-stocked shop 08:55 for when it opens at 09:00 to get your pick of the delicious pastries and baguettes|- The restaurant opens at 5pm - it goes get busy so arrive early if you need to get kids to bed - but we were in no rush and enjoyed the tasty meals (moules and burgers highly recommended - the pizzas were also a big hit!) - and the waitress, Cecile(?) is an absolute joy and runs around ensuring everyone is kept happy!|- Adults - if you want a quiet swim, make sure you go for an early morning dip when the pool opens @ 9am and it is super quiet and heavenly in the morning sunshine - until the kids descend around 10am! (it is heated to about 23-24 degrees, slightly chilling when you first get in but glorious when you get going - and worth the initial brrrrr ....)||Would highly...

Stopped for one night with the motorhome. After a long stressful drive getting lost due to say nav and poor weather not helping mood. Site is beautiful and staff in reception were lovely and food was delicious, this meant it scraped to 2 stars. Otherwise i have never been to a place with the rudest barman/ restaurant manager and the worst rudest waitress I have ever had the misfortune to have.

I walked in and I could see it looked busy. I didn't know if I needed to book table or sit anyway. As I approached the waitress, I hadn't said a word and she shouted abruptly and rudely while walking away " IF YOU WANT TO SPEAK ENGLISH GO TO BAR"!!!! my wife and I looked at each other shocked. But went to the bar. I heard the barman say to a female who was asking for change for the pool table "I can't change it, I'm not a bank" she walked away shocked. I managed to book a table for an hour after. We then spoke to another customer who had seen both interactions and he told me that he asked if the barman could help him carry another drink as his arm was broken... "No I'm not carrying a drinks for you you will have to do the trips yourself" he had to do for trips himself for his wife and 2 children.. Hearing the waitress shouting. "you must wait for me to finish this first"

As I say the food was delicious and the rest of the place lovely but the restaurant staff needed training or a...
