Unique property/Great host
This property is fascinating and unique - you're staying in history. It is rustic, but everything works, with comfortable beds and hot showers and an ample kitchen. It's also handicapped accessible on the first floor, which is rare in a home this old. The owner is a lovely host who has been restoring the home carefully and lives on site. She not only provided us with some supplies we had failed to bring the first night, but made us strawberries and cream! And she shared the history of the place with us. Plus, it's perfectly located for a day at Mont St. Michelle and a different day at the beaches of Normandy. We're so glad we stayed here! It made a trip that necessarily included a lot of very touristy stuff really special.

Wonderful old house, peace and quite abound
We had a 4 generation holiday, (oldest 90 and youngest 5). Enough room for everyone and the downstairs bedroom and wet room was ideal for Mum as she was all on one level. Marion was a great host. There when you needed her but not interfering. The welcome basket and the home made pavlova were really nice touches . Ideal location for many of the attractions the area has to offer. The local village has a lovely bakers and a small supermarket so everyday needs are close by. The 2 swimming pools were used a bit, but unfortunately the weather was a bit cool so the pool was a bit chilly. Can't do anything about the weather but a bit frustrating after the heatwave. If you want authentic old French nestled in the countryside then this is it.

Homely, welcoming and everything you could need
There were 9 of us which included 5 children ranging in age from 16 - 5, we all thoroughly enjoyed our stay and there was plenty to keep all of the children entertained. Marian is a lovely host, very welcoming and helpful offering as little or as much advice as you may require. The property itself was very homely, plenty big enough for us all and with everything we could need. We did need to use the car to venture out anywhere and there were a couple of towns near by that are worth a visit and a meal out if you fancy. The beach that was recommended to us was about an hour and it was lovely, supermarkets are near by with everything you could need. We also visited the zoo which was a highlight. The pools were a great addition and the kids thoroughly enjoyed using them, they also loved the dogs and were sad to leave them. Thanks again x

Excellent accomodation for 7 guys that wanted to explore Normandy on motorcycles
Marianne is a wonderful host, very welcoming and very easy going - and boy does she make a good desert !! We had a 'welcome to Normandy' pavlova and a 'have a good ride home' lemon meringue pie 😁😁 The accomodation is a lovely period cottage with everything you need to make your stay comfortable - tucked away out in the countryside it is also VERY secure for a motorcycle holiday, all in all we loved our stay and would be happy to recommend to others.

Great location amazing host!
We had a lovely stay. We had 9 people total and we had more than enough space for sleeping and spending time together. Great for kids with all the play equipment out front and toys in the house. Marian is a wonderful host. We would recommend this property and stay here again if in the Normandy region of France.

Charming but tired.
Perfect location, peace and tranquillity. Marian was a perfect host. I celebrated my birthday while there and Marian made a huge strawberry pavlova, it was delicious. Marian allowed my friend, who lives in France, to stay over with no extra charge. We had seven grandchildren with us who enjoyed the swimming pools (one for toddlers), play area and badminton. Plenty of outdoor eating areas with a choice of BBQ's. Thank you for a memorable holiday.

Hospitality Plus Great Location
Eight adults from the US rented Marian Clarke's farm home for six nights in May, 2016. Located near the small village of St. Martin des Besaces, the 17th century home is being lovingly restored by Marian. It is cozy, roomy, and offers the hottest water you can imagine! Marian met us with a bottle of local Brut, cheese and bread. She had offered to pick up some supplies for us since we were arriving on Sunday evening and local stores were closed. Also, the following day was a national holiday, and stores were closed. Several in our group are "history buffs", and she told us the story of the home which is an ongoing project and shared with us her plans for the future of the building. The living area, kitchen, bed and bathrooms were clean, well-kept, and very functional. If the nights are cool, guests will have to take charge of the fire, but this turned into a fun activity for the men in our group and caused no problems. The location is central to Normandy sites; D-Day Beaches, Bayeux, Caen, Honfleur, Mont St. Michel are all 50 km or less from the house. Rouen is a little further, but some of us drove there easily for a day trip. Be sure to use Marian's directions to the house instead of a navigation system. The location is off a main road, and the nav system led us astray. Those who followed her map had no problems. All in all, we had a wonderful stay and can certainly recommend this accommodation for a home stay in Normandy. Marian is a lovely host and helped to make our visit memorable.
