A brilliant place and we'll be going back again if we can. The room was great, pool the kids loved and it will be ideally suited to relaxing for a long weekend. Very impressed and set our holiday up a treat.

My stay here was amazing! Ian and Maureen provided exceptional service and the food surpasses anything I have had in France. Ian is a fabulous chef and it shows in his meals. Every dinner was different each time. He even named a dish after me! Nice touch. If I was a local, I'd be beating at his door wanting in on his dinners!! Well worth the drive! Ian and Maureen both love their place and it shows in the service they provide. I love the way that Maureen has set up the rooms to go with the look of the place. Both of them also provided excellent recommendations on places to visit while I was there. They made me feel like I was at home during my 9 day visit. I really didn't want to leave the place when it was time to go. I never did go in the pool or sauna but several others did and they quite enjoyed it. I did have some problems with the rental car's lighter not working, so my GPS would not keep a charge and was stranded several times, and Ian helped me out with that. I definitely will make this a regular visit each time I go back to France!!

Ian is fantastic

Ian, the hotel owner and chef, is great. Friendly, efficient and very helpful. The manor itself is very pretty and relaxing. Food is terrific and the dining room something out of a fairy tale. The location is a bit isolated - 25 minutes or so to Caen and Bayeux - but it is an easy drive and the countryside is easy on the eye. Only criticism is no hand basin in toilet - had to go upstairs to separate bathroom to wash hands. However, this is minor in the overall scheme of things. Highly recommend this hotel / B&B.
