Our host , David, was delightful and charming The old Manor was beautiful in its character and simplicity, especially the stone colimacon. The view was stunning especially to the chateau raising out of the early morning mist in the sunshine. The breakfast was excellent. Superb. Rob & Kate

The uniqueness of the beautiful Manoir. Exceptionally decorated with old pictures and furnishings. Amazing to climb the spiral staircase in the tower to the room. So very special and with modern facilities. Very personal with the owner very friendly.

A delightful trip back into the past of elegant decor and furniture. This is a magnificent restoration of an historic property, and David is an informative (and English-speaking) host.

A few cobwebs!

The building is stunning and the rooms are comfortable with quirky French decor filled of interesting artifacts and furniture. The grounds and beautiful and surrounded by nature. The breakfast was great too...

We stayed here on the last leg of our honeymoon, and now we wish we should’ve stayed here longer! The room was spacious and love the fact that we get to stay in an 15th century property. The walks around the manoir is also great, especially when the dog can be off the lead to have a run around. David also kindly showed us the way to the river, where we fed some carrots to the horses. We also really like the fact that you get to have breakfast around the table with other guests. Overall, everything was perfect for us and our dog, and David was an amazing host!

Such a shame the owner (mad Freddie) is no longer on this earth.

It's still just as quirky as our last visit.

This is not your typical overnight stop in a standard hotel. If you're looking for a "front desk and receptionist", then this is maybe not for you. But if you want to feel like a valued guest at a historic manor with period features being lovingly restored, your luck is in! We will remember our stay fondly.

This was a different and most enjoyable overnight experience. We were guests in David's home, quite literally. He told us about the history of the manor and his family's labour of love to restore it, showed us around the buildings, arranged a restaurant for our evening meal, and gave us good advice about a lovely day trip including Carrouge, Sees, Fresnay, St Suzanne and St. Ceneri. Nice room, comfortable bed and nice breakfast with home-made rhubarb jam!

Sadly Frederick has passed away and David his son is the owner and was absent. His housekeeper Murielle let us in and returned to do breakfast but we were left alone overnight with no access to the main building.

A good place to stop on our return journey to Caen.

The building, the location, the grounds were very spacious - especially suitable for our dog - and we received a very warm welcome from the housekeeper.

We found this place while looking for accommodation during the Le Mans race. It’s about an hour from the circuit. The rooms are very interesting, and the area is full of beautiful French countryside. You can see a castle from the yard, and even feed the horses that walk around freely. David is a very caring and friendly host – he greeted us every morning with breakfast and even left us a bottle of champagne after the race. If you want to experience the true spirit of the countryside, you’ll love this place!

There was nothing I didn't like but just to say it's a 17th century(?) manor house and has been under renovation for many years so it's not 5-star accommodation. However, don't let that put you off. The rooms are clean and comfortable, the grounds are pleasant and the setting is fantastic.

Superb property and fantastic location in a quiet village on the outskirts of Alencon. A wonderful building with a great history which the owner, David, explained. Located within a Natura 2000 site on the banks of a river with incredible views across the valley. The rooms are quirky with a mix of old and new decor. The bathroom facilities were modern and the bed was very comfortable. I was the only guest that night due an event being held outside but I was not disturbed. David was very helpful in suggesting places to visit in the surrounding area and further afield (I was travelling down to the south of France). Normally I wouldn't stay in B&B type accommodation but I would make an exception and stay here again. Definitely recommend!

Thé charm and the antiquity of the house is married to modern convenience in a miraculous way thanks to the very hospitable owner.A total delight.

Nothing really – I just don't want to risk smugness setting in. Maybe David could have forced another coffee on me.

This was our second visit, and unlikely to be our last. Wonderful architecture completed by decor of charm and elegance, without going over the top. A welcome that included our dogs, well catered to by the sizeable grounds. David an obliging and engaging host, who provided a fine breakfast.

Nothing to dislike!

First class in every respect: from the warmth of the greeting to the unique character of the rooms. If you enjoy staying in a character building converted to modern standards, this is for you. Free parking and splendid views.

We visited in winter and I don't think that is best time to visit as it was very wet and we were unable to enjoy the lovely location. I think this would be a great place to visit in summer rather than in winter.

Lovely host, very helpful and friendly and made us feel very welcome. Beautiful countryside and interesting building with a lot of original features.

The host looked after us fantastically well as it was New Years Eve and little option for restaurants that night. David and Martha prepared a lovely meal. The house is full of character.

The manoir is full of character. charming setting. 14th century building. Huge room and comfortable bed. Decor shows its age in places but we loved it.
