We stayed for three nights at this lovely, tranquil B&B on our visit to the Normandy Beaches and Mont St. Michel. Had read a couple of negative reviews, but since most were positive, we decided to book. BEST DECISION! Gary was kind, warm and made you feel right at home. The food was wonderful, the gardens beautiful and the Gin... More

I arrived for six nights with some trepidation given the mixed reviews. I now cannot understand the negative reviews. Of course it depends on your expectations. I did not go expecting to find TV in the room, with tea and coffee making facilities, or internet connections. I go to the likes of an Ibis or Mercure hotel for these facilities.... More

Very friendly English-speaking owner. Nice big room. Lovely backyard that can be used for relaxing or playing cards in. Wonderful breakfast. Very convenient location for visiting American Cemetery and Mont St. Michel.

Can't understand the negatives left on TA for this excellent B&B. Gary the proprietor was the friendliest host we have meet in a B&B, the gourmet dinners he prepares are wonderful. The rooms are quiet, spacious and very clean. In a beautifully restored house. The large secure garage holds 5 bikes easily, with space for leathers and helments along side.... More

We felt very privileged to stay in the proprietors home.. From initial welcome to room comfort and facilities and excellent food one feels treated as an individual. It is immediatly apparent on arrival that nothing is too much trouble for the hosts of this B and B but more importantly it is also immediatly obvious that this is NOT a... More

Hosts couldn't seem to decide if it was a hotel or a B&B and we opted instead as a 'rip-off'. Much of the blurb focuses on the elegant, clean, pleasant, decorative, well-kept interior with its original features and to a large extend it was....if that was what you wanted. However, we wanted to stay in this B&B to get the... More

Dear guests thank you for taking the time to express your personal views, it is unfortunate that you did not share your views with us at the time allowing us to address the issues in question ie: curtains, & stiff wardrobe door, by offering you another bedroom.. We had given you a free upgrade to a two bedroom family suite...... More

We found this B & B on www.Bikestay.net, a fantastic resource for motorcycle friendly accommodation, and what a find it turned out to be. A quick check on Tripadvisor threw up a few negative reviews, however, we need not have been concerned as our 1 week stay was fantastic. We were greeted on arrival by our hosts and our motorcycle...

Have just spent 4 nights here, and can't understand the bad reviews. A warm welcome from Jean and Gary and a spotless, light and airy room. We ate there for all 4 nights, and didn't ever consider eating anywhere else. The evening meals were superb, from the canapes, through to the petit fours with coffee, and virtually everything was home... More
