Location
Nestled in a serene rural environment, Château Baffy offers a charming and tranquil escape for travelers seeking a peaceful retreat. Its location is particularly noted for its picturesque green setting and historical charm, providing visitors with a unique and calming atmosphere. Perfectly positioned for those interested in exploring the nearby Normandy beaches, the château serves as an excellent stopover in a peaceful village, just a short drive from the coastline. Guests praise the magnificent old building and its surroundings, which include a park with a small football field and a terrace, enhancing the overall experience. The quietly enchanting environment is complemented by the attentive and friendly staff, making for a pleasant and memorable stay.
Breakfast
Château Baffy offers a breakfast experience that is generally well-received, with guests appreciating a good continental spread that includes a nice selection of cheeses and cold cuts. The breakfast is often described as very good, simple, fresh, and varied without being extravagant, catering well to standard expectations. Diners enjoy their meals in a beautiful dining area which adds to the overall experience.
While many guests find the breakfast to be spot on and better than anticipated, there are mixed feelings about its consistency and variety. Some find it sufficient and decent, while others note room for improvement in terms of quality and organization, specifically mentioning baguettes and juices. It's important to note that breakfast is not included in the room rate and costs €7 per person, with service hours between 8 am and 9:30 am.
Despite a few criticisms on scarcity and lack of fresh products, the pleasant staff and the appealing environment contribute positively to the dining experience, making it a pleasant start to the day in this charming locale.
Rooms
Château Baffy offers a picturesque setting with a charming garden, which is ideal for unwinding after a long day of exploring. However, the accommodations are notably basic and reminiscent of a youth hostel. Rooms tend to be compact, some even feeling cramped and dormitory-like, particularly for larger groups. While there is enough space for four occupants in some rooms, others are more suitable for two, and they lack sufficient storage space.
The decor and furnishings show signs of wear, with outdated elements and a few maintenance needs such as chipped items and visible repairs. Cleanliness is just passable, with some areas needing more attention, notably under the beds and in the shower rooms. The bathrooms are notably small, with limited space making them less user-friendly, especially for larger guests. On a positive note, some guests find the rooms adequately comfortable and clean despite these challenges.
Overall, while Château Baffy provides a basic and peaceful place to stay with rustic charm, visitors should be prepared for modest comfort and facilities that reflect the character of an aged building.
Beds
Château Baffy presents a mixed experience when it comes to the comfort of its beds. Several guests have remarked positively on the comfort of the beds, suggesting that a substantial number experience restful nights. However, other reviews indicate a less favorable experience, with some beds described as hard or of poor quality. There are comments about the beds being more suitable for children, hinting at size concerns, and a few opinions highlight the overall lack of comfort in the bedding. While there are positive aspects, potential guests might consider these reviews when deciding on their stay, especially if bed comfort is a priority.
Cleanliness
Château Baffy appears to offer a mixed experience regarding cleanliness. While some guests noted that the property and rooms were very clean and the staff friendly, this view is not universally held. Several guests expressed dissatisfaction, pointing out issues with mold in the shower joints and window frames, as well as an overall lack of proper room maintenance. Instances of unemptied bins, dead insects, cobwebbed windows, and hair in the bathtub from previous guests were mentioned. These observations suggest that while there are positive experiences, there is significant room for improvement in maintaining consistent cleanliness standards across the hotel.
Staff
At Château Baffy, guests consistently appreciate the dedication and warmth of the staff. Many describe the team as friendly, smiling, and eager to assist, ensuring a pleasant experience throughout their stay. Kaja, a standout team member, is often highlighted for her exceptional willingness to go the extra mile for guests. The welcoming atmosphere is evident from the moment guests arrive until their departure, with attentive care shown in every interaction.
While the staff predominantly speaks English, which some guests find a bit surprising given the locale, their helpfulness and accommodating nature are consistently highlighted.
