Superb

With 22 other family members from Germany, England, Spain and The Netherlands we had the whole property to ourselves for 1 week. Did a lot of dining al fresco, looked for qoypu's in the pond, ate and drank a little too much and totally enjoyed all that this house has to offer. Rooms all very well renovated; everything works, enough bathrooms so you don't have to wait, good kitchens.... The property is also very easy to reach. In the area you'll find all supermarkets you need, as well as good restaurants and the charming village of Valognes. The coast is nearby. Do go to Nez de Jobourg. Beautiful, and France sort of ends there. Would I like to visit this property again? Yep!

Just fabulous

One of the best places that my wife and I along with 11 friends have stayed in France. The Manoir and cottage are both very well equipped, very clean , extremely comfortable and wonderfully decorated. All the rooms are large, yet cosy, decorated superbly and all have bathrooms. There are rooms to relax in, a bar to drink in, a kitchen to prepare meals and a large dining room to accommodate all your needs.The grounds of the Manoir are simply stunning, well kept, a large pond/lake ,beautiful areas to relax in as the location is quiet and away from the noises of daily life. Just absolute heaven.Eric the owner could not do enough for us, making sure we had everything we needed, available if we had a problem or needed directions, told us the history of the Manoir, a very welcoming super host and a lovely person. Thank you Eric for everything. Do not hesitate to book the Manoir de Savigny, it is FANTASTIC, you will not be disappointed, a true slice of heaven. The Manoir is close to a large supermarket and other shops but mainly so central to all the WW11 museums and beaches. Book this, you will have the most wonderful time. We hope to return soon.

Perfect.

Traditional stunning Manoir in beautifully landscaped gardens in rural Normandy. Decorated in a typically French style, there was plenty of room for our family of 19 and our hosts were incredibly nice and helpful. Highly recommended! 🇫🇷🥂🇫🇷

Wonderful place!

A group of our students stayed here for two nights during a study tour of London, Normandy and Paris. They absolutely loved the opportunity to stay in such a beautiful and historic manor. Eric was very accommodating and helpful, and was easy to communicate with in advance of arrival. The students' only complaint was that they did not have more time here?

Everything we could have wished for

What a beautiful venue for a long weekend - a chateau in large grounds not far rom the sea. I booked the Manoir de Savigny for a small choir performing a couple of concerts in the local area. Each person was able to have their own room, each of which was very comfortable and beautifully presented. We commented on the quality of the bed linen, which was very luxurious and smooth. The living room was ideal for rehearsing and dining room perfect for communal meals. Our host Eric was very welcoming and helpful and explained that we had the use of the considerable grounds during our stay. We particularly liked the ancient spiral staircase which ended in a little gallery overlooking the pond, and the comfortable bar area where we could relax on the squashy sofas. All in all a perfect place for relaxing, near to interesting towns and wide open beaches.

Manoir de Savigny wonderful for family party

We celebrated 50th wedding anniversary with a week at Manoir de Savigny. 21 family members, including 9 school age cousins, enjoyed every minute. Property is beautiful and spacious, with areas for group to gather as well as have private time. Well maintained houses and garden areas and an attentive host who lives on site. Located near nice town of Valognes and within reasonable drive to othe sites.

OUTSTANDING

Travelled from Dorset as a group of 16 and arrived to be greeted by Eric who ran through everything we needed to know. The chateau was beyond our expectations and the rooms were all beautiful and clean with en-suites. The location and surrounding grounds are absolutely stunning and perfect for large groups and families with Utah beach close by. So many private areas in the garden to relax. We would have no hesitation recommending this beautiful place and hope to return in the very near future ourselves. Really cannot put in to words what a wonderful time we had and thank Eric for being a wonderful host.

Un week-end de février au Manoir de Savigny

Le séjour a été parfait. Nous avons commencé à cinq avec la formule chambres d'hôtes et le week-end s'est poursuivi à vingt en privatisant le manoir ainsi que la dépendance. Ayant testé les deux formules, je peux affirmer que l'accueil est sympathique et que tout est mis à disposition pour un séjour idéal en Cotentin.

Lovely property, thoughtfully renovated

We spent a week as a family group of 25. Property is lovely and very well renovated. Main kitchen is the only negative as it is very small like you would find in a small flat, but despite that we managed ok. Totally child friendly and with nice grounds for the children to roam

Could not have been better ... perfect

Property far exceeded expectations in location and quality. The rooms are beautiful, comfortable with a personal touch. Dining area, sitting area and the bar were pristine places to connect with old and new friends and make new memories. The grounds are large, beautiful and a joy to explore. Entire facility is child friendly as well! Eric was immediately available to keep things running properly - extremely diligent and expedient. It was truly a pleasure to be hosted in such a lovely place by such a wonderful host. Thanks - all 23 of us felt the same way!

Beautiful property; great for large/small groups

We had a wonderful experience at the Cherbourg Manor. The property is peaceful, quiet, and spacious. The gardens around the grounds are amazingly maintained. We had 17 people (4 families) and could have easily had space for 2-3 more families. It seems like it's even bigger than the property description. Eric was so helpful and kind. Not all homes are so welcoming to children, & we really appreciated that the kids were welcome to explore the vast grounds. Hints for staying at any cottage: bring your own bath & hand soap, trash bags, zip lock bags for storage, and paper towels. We loved having laundry facilities to use in both the house & cottage. There were plenty of pans & tupperware in the kitchen for cooking meals & storing leftovers. We enjoyed going into Valognes for the town market one morning. The grocery store is nearby (in town) and has plenty to supply your needs. Ask for GPS coordinates to easily find your way to the Manor on the winding country road. If you're wanting to visit the beaches of Normandy, this is a GREAT venue to choose!! We LOVED it here!!

Amazing Normandy Chateau Experience!

Rented the manor house for 12, with tons of extra room for others. We were amazingly impressed with the property and the home. Well and modernly updated while retaining it's historic chateau charm. Owner Eric is wonderful, friendly and very accommodating--his English is great and he's quick to respond to emails as well as be of help onsite. We highly recommend this beautiful 16th Cent. Chateau--make sure to look at all of the photos and video of property, they are a great representation of the property. Merci Eric!
