Greeted by the owner, he was very welcoming. He welcomed us with cold beer and juice before giving us a tour of the grounds, speaking of the Chateaus history during the second world war. Our rooms were spacious and antique with picturesque views of the Chateus grounds and outbuildings. If you walk to the bottom of the grounds you'll find an observatory overlooking the lake for birdwatching. The breakfast provided was plentiful. Serving fresh baguettes, croissants, organic yoghurt, jam, cheeses, fruit, juice, coffee and a selection of teas.

The Chateau is a historic building, and as such, there were a few cracks in which bugs can enter, but this was remedied immediately by the owner, and we didn't have any further problems.

James the owner and the history of the Villa -- the location was perfect, it was like travelling back in time. I would stay there again as it was that special for my wife and I. Many things to see and do in the area, especially if you are a WW II historian.

Not enough time to walk around the area

This is a very special timepiece set among the most beautiful locations. The welcome from James is unparalleled in both friendliness and sincerity. Accommodation was generous and bed extremely comfortable. If like me, you are interested in WW2 history or perhaps if you want an authentic countryside chateau experience, come with little expectations and you will be charmed and delighted. I loved this place and hope that I may be able to return some day..

Having to leave.

James was a lovely host. We travelled to Normandy to enjoy the D Day experience just before the anniversary and to stay in a location that played a big role in such important times was amazing. We stayed in the Orangery bedrooms which had lots of space for us and a separate area for our 13 year old son.

Nothing we didn't like.

The history of the house was wonderful. The location was out away from the crowd but only a few minutes from town and restaurants and shops. The Normandy sights were close by and the house was central to most of them. We enjoyed the food and the host was wonderful.

We really don't have any complaints. The house is quite old and so has an older home musty smell and older bathroom facilities. All of these things are expected for older homes.

Super quiet location in Normandy countryside. Wonderfully friendly and helpful French owner, James, who told us all the history. The breakfast was typically continental - bread and croissants, Bonnemamman jams, cheeses, fruit, yoghurt, juice and coffee.

Fantastic, quiet place with this great “ climate “ of a country, and history. The Owner, and his family running this place perfectly, being very helpful in every matter You may have. Location is just wonderful- in the middle of beautiful north France village area, with fantastic garden to use by guests. There is a solid WiFi there too, and very nice breakfast service. If You look for high end fancy 5 star - this is not a place for You, but if You want to spend few days in the beautiful place with great people around You, and some “ wind “ of history- You will find yourself just right there. And yes, you may say rooms are old, floor cracks, and some renovations could be done better - but in this place all of that is simply irrelevant. We will come back for sure.

Unbelievable charm and history. The proprietor was genuinely friendly and engaged. My French and his better English accomplished everything I needed for the trip. The walled manor garden view is unparalleled for the price, especially at sunset. Looking forward to my return.

Continental breakfast did not disappoint; the host sat with us and regaled us with stories of the property's history, his own life, and tips on Omaha Beach and other areas; very accessible to all of Normandy's great features; the restaurant recommendations he made were some of the best food we had in France!

A shower curtain would have been nice, but we dealt with it by showering bathtub-style. The giant size of our room, the Orangerie, more than made up for it, as did the views. Very few things not to like!

It’s an old building and I could feel the weight of piled history just by opening the creaky window. The huge garden was well maintained and just strolling around there made me feel good.

One small double bed had a broken leg. But it’s fixed soon by the next night.
