Hotels near Château de Franquetot D-Day Collins Museum

"Lovely fresh breakfadt. Very clean and spacious room. Nicely appointed "

"The bed was really comfortable and the room was clean. The staff were lovely and was good value for money. The building is a bit tired and felt needed some updating. No complimentary tea of coffee in the room which we found disappointing. If they had tea and coffee I would stay there again. Small detail but would make a big difference to us. Coffee machine in foyer was out of order. Images on website shows modern decorated room but ours was a bit old fashioned and wood chip wallpaper. "

"Set beside the Merderet River in Normandy, La Fière Guesthouse offers travelers more than just a place to stay—it offers a direct link to one of D-Day’s fiercest battles. Here, in June 1944, the 82nd Airborne Division fought to secure the vital bridge at La Fière, a struggle so intense it became one of the bloodiest engagements in the division’s history. Control of this crossing was essential to halt German counterattacks and open the path inland from Utah Beach. Today, the fields are peaceful, but the echoes of history remain. The guesthouse, curated by Helen Patton, granddaughter of General George S. Patton, serves as a living museum. Its remarkable library and tributes honor both her grandfather’s legacy and the countless veterans of World War II. Guests lucky enough to meet Helen will find her knowledge and passion for history both captivating and deeply personal. Hospitality here is warm and genuine, thanks to Neal and Denise, who ensure each guest feels at home. Rooms are spotless and comfortable, while breakfast, served in a private dining area overlooking the French countryside, is a quiet reminder of the land’s transformation from battlefield to sanctuary. For those seeking comfort, authenticity, and an unforgettable connection to history, La Fière Guesthouse stands as a hidden gem in the heart of Normandy."
