Having welcomed school groups for over 30 years, we, at Travelbound, know that attention to detail is key when choosing accommodation for your school group. This is why our Château du Molay rooms and facilities have been designed with safety and comfort in mind for a stress-free and successful school trip experience.
With 42 en-suite bedrooms that can accommodate up to 195 guests, a large restaurant and facilities for various activities and evening entertainment, the Château du Molay is the ideal base for your next school trip to Normandy.
The bedrooms
Multi-bedded student rooms
Having a comfortable place for students to rest their heads at the end of a long day is a key factor to consider. All multi-bedded student bedrooms feature en-suite facilities and have recently been refurbished to provide a modern feel and European-inspired flavour.
There is also a dedicated room for those requiring disabled access.
Teachers' rooms
We know how important it is to have somewhere comfortable and quiet to chill out and get some space from the energy of your young learners! We’ve put a lot of thought into creating nice rooms for you and your colleagues to retire for a good night’s sleep.
Staff accommodation features en-suite rooms with tea and coffee facilities.
The restaurant and teachers’ bar
The restaurant
Located on the ground-floor of the Chateau’s annexe, our spacious dining area is conveniently accessible via the covered glass corridor, which has views of the parkland on one site and the swimming pool on the other.
With over 30 years of experience welcoming school groups, our in-house catering team is used to providing a substantial and diverse diet that resonates with students’ tastes. Our chefs craft healthy, varied options, ensuring that crowd-pleasers and familiar ingredients are skillfully prepared to satisfy young appetites.

A safe space
Working with the Council for Learning Outside the Classroom (LOtC) and their campaign for ‘Brilliant Residentials’, the Château du Molay features a range of facilities to support students and their Party Leaders during their time in Normandy, and to provide school groups with a safe space to share their trip experience together, while also offering numerous options for downtime.
From handrails to windows, insulation to ground maintenance, everything has been designed and is reviewed each season to ensure the safety of students during their stay at the Château du Molay.
Located away from main roads, the accommodation can only be approached via a long driveway. The private estate is solely owned and used by Travelbound and their Château team who are easily identifiable via their uniform.
