Date of Visit: May 2017 Unit:  Motorhome
Reviewer: Highlandponies 2 reviews from this member

 Sue and Steve could not have been more welcoming from the cup of tea when we arrived to the home made jam when we left. The grounds are beautiful with lots of history. The town is only 10 mins walk away with good restaurants and market day. Sue and Steve did everything they could to make our stay special so our 2 night booking turned into 5 nights. Good luck with your renovations and hope to see you again.

 Just spent 4 delightful days here - the welcome was wonderful -Sue and Steve are great hosts - it was a delight to be surrounded by lovely countryside and peace and quiet -after 3 months staying on campsites this was a real tonic ! perfect stop for return ferries from Caen ( 20 mins away ) or Le Havre 1. 1/2 drive -we shall most definitely be stopping by again ! the Village is vibrant, with good bars, shops and Bistros and the saturday market is wonderful, it is a 6 minute gentle walk into town either along the quiet road or a bridlepath which is delightful if you have dogs with you.

 Back again for three nights on our way home via Caen. We stopped last year for two nights and enjoyed meeting Sue and Steve who showed us the progress with the renovation. We feel that we have made two very nice friends in a beautiful location. A wonderful place to round off a holiday Richard and Heather.

 2 of the nicest people who you could wish to meet. Nothing was too much trouble and the surrounding countryside was beautiful. Will definitely be visiting again soon. The local town was a 10 minute walk and had everything you require.

Reviewer: ShirleyandJohn 1 review from this member

 This is an ideal one night stopover for tourers heading south in winter. It is unique, in that you are on hardstanding in front of the beautiful old Chateau that Sue and Steve are renovating, and you can plug into their electricity supply.

There is an outside loo, and if you are staying longer they are willing to provide shower facilities from the lovely gites they rent.

There are horses, a dog and cats, and a lot of land to explore. Sue and Steve are a warm and welcoming couple, with interesting stories to tell. We hope to visit again in warmer weather as there is a lot to see in the area.

 We stayed here for only one night on our way back home, lovely location near to the village. We will go back so we can walk into the village and have a good look around.

Site was good and great for our two dogs, walks from the site.

Steven and Sue the owners were very welcoming and nice, very knowledgeable about the area, markets, bargains etc too.

They are busily renovating the Chateau.

This site is ideal stopover from or too the ports. Also handy for visiting the WW2 historic sites and beaches.

Will be back.

 Stayed two nights on way to Caen. A wonderful tranquil place with two wonderful people steve and sue who welcomed us with a pot of tea and made us feel at home. Beautiful views of fields with cows and ponies, and trees with a church spire rising through them. We want to return and spend, more time here to totaly relax and explore, cant wait to visit again, Richard and Heather.

Reviewer: Bessie Bus 3 reviews from this member

 Stayed overnight on our way home to Caen. Had a wonderful welcome from Steve and Sue and the kittens whilst they showed us around their lovely estate and renovation of the château. Then tea and lovely home made cake on the lawn. The highland ponies are amazing and so is the peace and tranquillity of this site. It is only small, just the type of site we like, but the hospitality is amazing. We would definitely return when next in the area and would thoroughly recommend this site to everyone – you really cant go wrong here

 Stayed here for two nights and wished it could have been longer. Sue and Steve greeted us as we arrived and told us to park anywhere we liked in front of the main house. Once set up they invited us round for a cup of tea and welcomed us like family. There is electric, water and a disposal point, that's all we need as we have our own facilities in the van and are used to using them. However, as our shower was being used as wardrobe space Sue kindly said I could use the shower in the gite. The gite is excellent, everything you could need, and if we didn't have the caravan would love to stay in the gite.

The place is so quiet and peaceful, just a 2 minute drive from the town which is stunning and has everything you need. We ate at the Hotel and was one of the best meals we've had for aong time. The views all around the site are amazing, how lucky they are to live in such a beautiful place. The Highland ponies are an added bonus, with me being a horsy person I was in my element and spent ages chatting to Sue about breeding, showing etc. GinGin the tomcat adopted us which was lovely as we have one just like him at home.

It's only a 30 minute drive from Caen and similar to the various D D landing beaches, and military cemeteries. We visited Gold beach at Arromanches and the British cemetery at Bayeux.

Sue tried to persuade us to stay another night as they were planning a big BBQ but sadly we had to leave. But we will definitely be back. Soon I hope! And all this for €15 per night - what's not to like-:)

 A jewel in the crown. The most amazing place owned by the most delightful and welcoming couple Steve and Sue. Much has been renovated here and much is still a work in progress. A fascinating history including Knights of the Templar, Monastery, Chateau. 50 acres of walled land. Rare highland ponies bred by Sue. We were en route from Dieppe to friends in Brittany, so stayed overnight. We will be staying for several nights en route home. Just a unique and wonderful experience. We parked our van immediately outside the Chateau where we hooked up. We looked over fields with white cows, a long impressive drive from the white entry gates with ancient horse chestnut trees either side.

I can't do justice here to such a beautiful and unusual place. Suggest you visit and see for yourself!
