The hotel
A hotel steeped in character and charm
Built from the light-coloured stone typical of the rural architecture of the Plain region, the Hôtel du Grand Hard has retained the feel of a family home.
Its 19 rooms are divided into different categories, where old-world charm meets modern comfort.
Just a few minutes from the D-Day beaches
Nestled in the heart of the Normandy countryside, Hotel Le Grand Hard welcomes you. This former 17th-century manor farm, lovingly restored, is now a charming 4-star hotel, where history, local heritage and Normandy hospitality come together. Here, time slows down.
The rustling of the meadows, birdsongs, cow silhouettes in the pastures – every detail reflects of a way of life.
The estate hotel
A range of room types to suit every style of stay
With Normandy-style furniture, vintage decorations and carefully selected works of art, each room is unique and tells its own story.
Our hotel
A stay designed for everyone
Whether it’s a romantic getaway, a family holiday or a peaceful retreat in the countryside, our rooms welcome you with a unique décor featuring fine materials and vintage finds. The added bonus? A reliable internet connection, even in the heart of the Normandy countryside.
Families with children are very welcome! Cot beds and a welcome pack tailored to your children’s ages await you on arrival (play mats, teddy bears and plenty of other surprises). Because here, holidays are designed so that the whole family can enjoy their stay to the full, young and old alike.
Accessibility for guests with reduced mobility: several of our rooms are accessible to guests with reduced mobility. Please contact us so we can find the most suitable option together.
The hotel
Just settle in, we’ll take care of everything
Every welcome begins with a smile, offered by one of our team members, who is delighted to greet you in four languages. Every room is prepared with care, to make you feel at home right away.
To make your stay even more enjoyable, settle into the lounge of our restaurant, Chez Arsène, with a glass of calvados or a hot drink in hand, play a family game or let yourself be lulled by the crackling of the fire. When the warmer weather arrives, take a seat on the terrace and soak up some vitamin D!
