“I must have stayed in somewhere else??”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 October 2011

We booked a night here on the strength of all these great reviews. Well OK, the weather wasn't great, which never helps, but our experience of this b&b was decidedly average. From the quality of furnishings and fittings in the renovated bedroom through to the food, there was nothing to write home about.
Graham and Caroline were friendly enough, but it was an expensive stay and not really great value for money.

“Central location in Normandy with excellent hosts”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 September 2011

Graham and Caroline the owners have laboured extensively to renovate the farm dwellings and its newbuild extension into a contemporary home. It provides comfortable accommodation in a modern but traditional setting. They are very welcoming and hospitable with Caroline providing excellent culinary skills in an English style. The house, 'Magolias' is in a quiet and tranquil area, yet within a suitable location for ferry ports and the Normandy coastline for beaches and wartime reflections.

“Comfortable accomodation in a great location.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 April 2011

Well located for exploring the Normandy coast, Graham and Caroline run a welcoming and comfortable guest house. The rooms are well appointed with good en suite facilities. Meals were excellent and generously portioned, and the wine just didn't stop flowing! Guests are given free run of a large purpose built guest 'wing', with TV, Wifi and tea & coffee making facilities. There's even a pool table, if you fancy some exercise after dinner.

Highly recommended, we'll certainly return whenever we're in the area again.

“Excellent place to see Normandy and feel comfortable at home”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 April 2010

If you are looking for the ideal place to see both the Omaha beaches, the American cemetery and the stunning town of Mont. St. Michel this is it. You have the run of half this charming converted farmhouse . The owners Graham and Caroline make you feel quite at home and the services they provide are fabulous. Have the home cooked meals they offer, it is worth it and they are very generous and thoughtful about your tastes and likes. The accommodation is clean and charming with views of the countryside all around you. The bed is comfortable and there is a large ensuite. They have thought of your every need with coffee and tea ready when you are. This is well worth the money and we would stay there again for sure.

Accommodation was very good with lots of room; the dinner meals were tasty with the food plentiful; Graham and Caroline were very friendly and obliging and couldn't do enough for us.
