La Régence, Cherbourg

Facing the quay, this popular bistro offers small, plain rooms, some with kitchenettes, in a quiet annexe. It makes a decent base in a town not noted for its hotels.
La Terrasse, Varengevillesur-Mer

A narrow lane winds through typical Norman countryside to the cliffedge and this characterful small hotel, with wooden balconies. The 22 rooms are homely, the atmosphere welcoming. There are magical sea views from the covered terrace (where meals are served in summer).
La Vallée, Houlgate

This very large and well-equipped site is just a short walk from Houlgate beach, where you can take sailing lessons and go sea fishing.
Le Dauphin, Caen

This lovingly restored former priory does not reveal its age until you get inside. Some of the comfortable bedrooms are in the building next door. In the smart dining room, the owner Stéphane Pugnat’s food is a highlight.
Le Gué du Holme, St-Quentin-sur-le-Homme

Michel Leroux is probably the best chef for miles in any direction, and any thought of driving on should be dispelled by the quietly comfortable rooms – most of them in a modern wing overlooking the rose garden.
Le Manoir des Saules, La Saussaye

Partly timbered, partly chequerboard brick and stone, this typical Norman manor has been lovingly restored to provide 10 restful bedrooms, and public rooms filled with antique furniture and Oriental carpets.
Le Mesnilgrand, Négreville

In the deeply rural setting of an old Norman cider farm is this well-regarded restaurant-with-rooms – now under new (English) ownership. Well-placed for Cherbourg.
Le Moulin de Connelles, Connelles

When you see the turreted mill’s reflection between the lily pads that float beneath the restaurant window, you know you are in picture-postcard territory. A small, deeply comfortable hotel, with bathrooms to die for and a chef to kill for.
Le Normandie, Bagnoles de l’Orne

This handsome old stone-built inn has a highly recommended restaurant. In summer, meals are served in the attractive garden. There is a fine view from the front across wooded countryside and park.
Le Paris, Evreux

Quietly situated close to the cathedral and the town centre, this budget hotel offers clean, simple bedrooms and a warm welcome.
