“Unforgettable! A gorgeous place with wonderful hosts who spoiled” Peaceful and located in a charming hamlet not far from both the Mont and Pontorson. Our room had a beautiful outlook over the garden and the best shower I've ever seen. Jo and Millsy welcomed us from the outset, showing us around the area and providing excellent food including fresh organic produce from their own garden and plentiful breakfast. The house has been beautifully restored and the hosts treated us more like friends than guests. Stay here. You won't regret it!

“Great welcome” Amanda and Wil welcomed us to their home and we had a wonderful week. The children loved feeding Lulu the lamb and making friends with the dog and horses, and going out in Wil's cart around the lanes. It was easy to spend time just around the gites but the cycle paths are a great attraction, well maintained and signposted. The beaches are good too and a short drive away. Recommended for families, especially including younger children.

“3 days in Normandy” The castle was a great location for the Normandy tours we took. Very clean, Bathrooms and Bedrooms all nice and worth the price of admission! Private gate to enter and you can cook in the kitchen or just hire a person to cook. We had 3 great breakfasts for a very reasonable price and we even cooked one night ourselves! We only had 6 adults but the castle could handle many more. Castle has great internet service and flat screen Tv's with DVD players. Very hot showers and you can even use the washing machine and dryer if necessary. Bikes available to ride and a ping-pong table too. It's like your own 4 star hotel! Normandy is definitely a place to put on your "Bucket List" Arnaud whose family owns the place is a wonderful man and met us one evening and showed us the room where the Wwii treaties were signed.

“Glorious Holidays at La Petite Ferme.” We stayed AGAIN at La Petite Ferme, Helen Wilson-Smith's B&B on the Brittany/Normandy border. The B&B is located on a working small farm close to Mont St Michel, a very popular tourist destination with an ancient Abbey and spectacular ramparts. Yet ½ hour away are delightful quiet rural hamlets and villages to explore and savour. We enjoyed cycling through these quaint villages and along the peaceful shady bike path built on the disused railway line beside the Couesnon River. Finding a quiet bar or patisserie for lunch , of course, was a bonus! Our hosts were extremely hospitable and always make sure our stay is memorable. The accommodation is clean and comfortable in the lovely old stone farmhouse. We ate in my favourite room in the house, the lounge: which is tastefully decorated with red furnishings making one feel warm and cosy. We had tasty breakfasts of fresh fruits, yoghurt, pain au chocolat and my favourite: croissants! The table d'hôte is superb; evening meals are first class ... prepared by a chef! We have long lasting memories of glorious holiday(s) at La Petite Ferme!

“winning the lottery” So I took a chance and booked a two day tour over the internet for myself and my sons (two college grad history majors) with Ben Trumble. I might as well have won the lottery. I would now suggest three things to anyone considering a Normandy tour: 1) Don't try to do it in less than two days (we wished we did three). 2) Get Ben Trumble (D-Day tours) as your guide. 3) Enjoy the charm, hospitality and great cooking from Jaye at the Manoir. We can't wait to go back... Denis O (NY)

“Peaceful & Cosy...” As part of my business trips, when I have to go to Normandy, I am used to stay at La Blonderie. This place was recommended to me by a colleague, and now La Blonderie is definitely the place where I prefer to stay and where I feel best. Sinéad is very welcoming and warm, and she cares about the well being of her guests. She is always available and gives good advices concerning good restaurants not to be missed, or concerning interesting places to visit in the region. She has decorated the guest rooms and the cottage with great taste, and she has thought of every detail to ensure the comfort of her guests. Moreover, the place is very charming and close to nature. In the morning, when I go to work, I particularly appreciate the view, which seems to have been taken from a fairytale, as you can see a beautiful white horse in the field, standing in the middle of the morning mist... And in the evening, when I go back from work, and when it is already dark, I look up and I admire the beautiful starry sky, which will delight fans of astronomy! When I go to Normandy, although I am far from home, staying at La Blonderie is like feeling a little at home...
