The buildings, the gardens and grounds, the idyllic setting, the history, the host, her attention to detail, the gorgeous breakfasts, and the quiet pool area

I loved everything. I had a single room in a house that had two other rooms, so I could have been sharing the accommodation with a couple of others, but I was the only one there so had it to myself. Seemingly there is other accommodation where sharing would not be an issue. The house is a very old characterful property in a small hamlet a couple of kilometers from the beautiful small town of Pont d'Ouilly. The catering facilities in the house were excellent; just about every implement that could be imagined. It's a very rustic property in a beautiful area (la Suisse Normande), which is excellent for hiking. There is a large back garden that, when the sun shines, has somewhere to be in the sun at all times. Eating in the garden is entirely possible. If you don't want to self cater, there are eating possibilities in Pont d'Ouilly, but that would probably involve a drive. In some ways, the landlady, Denise, was one of the highlights. She is so welcoming and helpful. I immediately felt totally at home. Denise lives in the house opposite. The accommodation was her parents' home.

Everything, especially the breakfast!

Perfect location to stay - especially if cycling the Vélo Francette route. Very welcoming & thoughtful hosts. Great shower after a long journey. Safe bike storage. Comfortable room & outstanding food. Book in advance for dinner if you can - delicious, locally sourced/homegrown ingredients- really worth it.

An extremely idyllic location, incredibly beautiful with accessible restaurants nearby. The owner was very professional. The surrounding landscape was so beautiful we spent the next morning driving around the valley.

Our stay at this B&B was absolutely fantastic! The hospitality and warm welcome from the owners were wonderful. The room was cozy and comfortable, perfect for unwinding after a day outside. The highlight was undoubtedly the breakfast - varied, delicious, and prepared with care. The B&B's location was ideal, close to all attractions of la Suisse normande, yet very quiet for a peaceful night's sleep. The owners were helpful and provided excellent tips on the local restaurants. We highly recommend this B&B to anyone looking for a cozy and welcoming place to stay.

This was one of the most comfortable bed and breakfasts we hve ever been in. Decorated tastefully and highly functional. They thought of everything we may need including a bedtime storybook for our son. Extra points for having the fire going when we arrived in the evening, the easter chocolates, the nightlight, the delicious breakfast. The owners were warm, lovely and clearly have a love of hosting. We recommend wholeheartedly, and would love to come back another time.
