Alone in a chateau!
As it was late January we were the only guests. After about an hour there were also no staff at the hotel, so we were alone until someone came in to prepare breakfast. This felt very strange and uncomfortable. We would not stay there again.

This hotel has been a firm favourite of ours for a number of years, and continues to be so, however, parking is now not permitted in the grounds of the Chateau and it is necessary to park in the town square, which has a major detrimental affect on the attraction of this hotel.

Regular here, but they're on a last chance!
Stayed here with my wife, on our way back to Cherbourg to catch a ferry. Service was pretty patchy, as I was initially assigned a standard room, having paid for a higher level room. I had to go back to reception and fight my corner with a receptionist who initially suggested I was just looking for an on-the-spot upgrade. Luckily I had my hotels.com confirmation, so they had to put me in the correct room. Cleanliness was not perfect, but bed & pillows very comfortable. Parking in the ground is now an issue, and again, I had to fight to be allowed to leave the car in the car parking area in the courtyard. I have been staying in this hotel every year for the last 6 or 7 years, and despite the change in ownership 2 years ago, the uplift in the hotel standard has not kept up with an initial improvement. Really not sure if I would stay again, but the location is exceptional.

A characterful property in a pleasant village. It is within easy reach of all the places we wished to visit - e.g. Mont St Michel, the WW2 beaches, Bayeaux etc.The restaurant is particularly evocative and the dinner served there was excellent. Without exception the staff were efficient and courteous. This was our second stay at the Chateau and we certainly look forward to staying again in the future.

Extremely cool old building with renovated modern rooms. Rooms are large and quiet with great blend of the old and new. Staff were super friendly. Parking right out front. Nice with fridge in room. Only down side was that with only a few guests on a Sunday night the restaurant was not open for dinner.

Not as good as expected
We got off to a bad start as our Expedia document said we could check in from 2 pm. We arrived at 3.30 to be greeted with a paper note on the door stating that reception was closed until 5pm. The hotel is very old and characterful but very dated and really could do with a spruce-up. However our room was very clean as was the bedding and towels. We had a good meal in the very attractive restaurant, but did not have breakfast so can't comment. Overall a reasonable one night stopover.

Really lovely!! Totally recommend!
Such a lovely place to stay for the start of our holiday. The staff are all charming and very welcoming. We ate in the restaurant which was excellent, the service was exemplary and the food of a very good standard. We understand that the place has been under new management for a year and changes are being made to improve the customer experience, but we were very pleased with the way it was! The surroundings are really interesting and picturesque..all in all, a truly memorable stay. Thank you to all the staff for making it so.

Stunning Medieval Castle with Superb Staff
We stayed in this historic castle for one night in a family room (Queen Victoria's!). We got lost on the way due to a local fete and the hotel staff even came out to find us and guide us through the medieval archway into the castle courtyard. They were very friendly and helpful and have also posted on my son's precious toy penguin who had gone exploring under the bed. The rooms were comfortable and clean and the breakfast was excellent. This was a very memorable stay that I recommend highly.

If you like Q for Quirk you’ll like this hotel
Stopped here as it’s a short drive from Cherbourg and wanted to chill before doing the long drive down to the South of France with my dog. Hotel is a bit frayed round the edges but I like that, friendly staff, no frills in the room but in the heart of this small town so you can get a dose of being authentically in a working town as soon as you arrive. Easy parking in the courtyard - wasn’t too struck by the food but loved the restaurant itself. Excellent pit stop if you’ve just arrived and you’re not Uber fussy about quick service etc

Chateau hotel, close to Cherbourg ferries!
Location in an old castle in the centre of the town, truly unique! This is an older hotel, which is being upgraded under new management, and seems to be going in the right direction. Beds now replaced, and very comfortable. New outdoor area with tables, chairs, parasols, etc. Stay here on a Sunday night and you can enjoy the local market on Monday morning! Very handy if you are heading back to Cherbourg for a ferry, and want somewhere close-by to stay the night before. Have used previously, and will use again. Highly recommended.

Very nice historic hotel with excellent service
This is a beautiful hotel in a historic setting with a good restaurant and friendly service. The hotel and rooms are nicely decorated and the whole place makes you feel your are in a castle. We were a given a family room with one double bed and two single beds and plenty of space to move around. The hosts were very welcoming and attentive to our needs, including in the restaurant where our large family was given a dedicated table. A great stay in a charming location!

Another great stay at the Chateau Du Bricquebec
The hotel is situated in a Castle in the middle of town. The town is surrounded by beautiful countryside and beaches are only a short drive away. The highlights of any stay here have to be the friendly welcome and the amazing (and reasonably priced) food in the restaurant.

Great welcome, proper chateau, comfy beds
This is a proper old fashioned country house style property with old fashioned furniture and perfectly adequate facilities. (including TV and free Wifi).We had a splendid welcome and ate in the restaurant, 2 of 3 were vegetarians and instead of the dreaded plate of unseasoned steamed vegetables so usual in France, Chef has taken all the interesting veggie components for main dishes and complied a very tasty and interesting plate. Joy. I have to note the beds were very very comfortable and the linen expensive.

Lovely Overnight Stay
Stayed for one night after arriving on the ferry at Cherbourg and en route to our cottage in Brittany. Our room, number 2, was superb, very spacious and possibly the most comfortable bed I have ever slept in. The bathroom could do with updating but didn't spoil the experience in any way. The food in the restaurant was excellent. Staff pleasant, we would definitely stay here again.
