My son and I visited for two nights. We stayed in the Siamese room. The beds were very comfortable, and the bathroom/shower is spotlessly clean, bright and very well thought out. Downstairs from the bedroom is a large and relaxing area, with a roaring log fire that Loic keeps well stocked ! Further along this room is a large and well equipped kitchen/dining area. The furnishings and ornaments are an eclectic mix of old and new, practical as well as charming, with strong international influence. There are shelves of guidebooks and reference material in several languages, so you can easily prepare yourself for an exploration of the Normandie area and all its absorbing history. Joelle's fabulous breakfasts are another highlight - wonderful bread and croissants, fresh fruit salad, and home made jams to die for (the pineapple/ginger/lime and the apple vanilla were our favourites) I could go on and on about how much we enjoyed our stay ! Joelle and Loic have created a very special B&B, fully deserving of its many accolades. Their attention to detail in so many areas is quite remarkable, but they both maintain a very calm exterior - always ready for a warm and friendly chat and full of knowledgeable advice. Very highly recommended. A bientot, merci beacoup Joelle and Loic !

The other reviews are spot on. La ferme aux chats has all the bases covered. The hosts are very friendly, the location is easy to get to and easy to get to other places in the area such as Omaha Beach and Bayeaux. The inside is very well maintained and decorated with items from all of the hosts travels. Sleeping is very quiet with no highway noise whatsoever inside the rooms. It's difficult to see, but the picture showing the front is taken from inside a courtyard. The house is behind a gate and wall so there is separation from the road. You will not be disaapointed with your stay here and it will be very difficult to find a better place. - Zac and Leah Franczyk

The place is Great, full of beautiful details, but the most important, the owner was really special! she made the place the best B&B we have been in our trip. She was welcoming, and make us fell like home. Great Bed! great Breakfast, many details, and a super place, close to the Beach and the historical towns. What else you can ask? Really a place I will recommend my friends to come, and for sure We will come back :)

5 out of 5Absolutely fantastic!
August 22, 2012
Our family's first night in France was spent at La Ferme aux Chats, and we couldn't have been happier. The hosts were very friendly, helpful, and informative. The B&B and surrounding farm and garden areas were beautiful and very well kept. We enjoyed seeing the sheep, chickens, cats, and flowers (the cats were only outside, never in the B&B). In addition to lovely rooms, the B&B has a very comfortable sitting area with lots of books and pamphlets of the Normandy and surrounding areas, as well as a small kitchen and dining area. We sincerely hope that we will be able to return to this absolutely fantastic B&B. The Phillips Family from Colorado, USA.
4.4 out of 5Un posto piacevole e strategico per visitare i luoghi dello sbarco
August 17, 2012
Siamo stati accolti in modo molto cordiale da Joelle nella sua casa immersa nel verde e con un grande giardino. La posizione è veramente strategica per visitare i luoghi dello sbarco, le stanze sono confortevoli, la colazione veramente ottima. Da consigliare

Nicest place we stayed of six different apts/hotels, included outstanding breakfast for the same average price. Quiet, pretty setting, room was pretty, newly redone. Omaha beach just down the road. You can see the place from the street easily. Joelle very welcoming, we are clumsy with French, she was happy to speak English. Highly recommended for Normandy visit, the town of Bayeux nearby wonderful.
5 out of 5B and B par excellent.
June 16, 2012
Having just returned from a 7 night stay at this B and B, my Wife and I cannot praise this establishment enough. This was our first trip to France and we were both a little apprehensive in what to expect, from the moment we arrived, our host made us both very welcome and nothing was too much trouble for her. The photgraphs on the Web site do not do this B and B justice. We would both highly recommed La Ferme aux Chats, and we would be most upset and surprised if it did not win this year B and B award.
