This B&B is great, the host is very welcoming! An amazing country side location with a beautiful view of french farms and hills, at night the sky is full of stars :) The room was large with a big screen tv and a very comfterble bed. Great breakfast with the perfect croissant!!

Mordechai Netherlands

Comfortable beds, good breakfast, nice owner. Highly recommended, very good money value.

Alexander Israel

Large family room with fridge and sink - ideal for a night stopover. Very friendly and helpful hosts who provided an amazing breakfast outside with wonderful views.

Anonymous United Kingdom

We stayed in the beautiful large family room in the loft, which also had a private bathroom, seating area and small kitchen area and amazing countryside views. The hosts were very welcoming. The pool was open and beautiful and the children swam. Breakfast was delicious and served on the terrace outside.

Emmanuelle United Kingdom

We had a fantastic stay in the family room. Lovely pool and garden, stunning views of forest all around. The perfect stopover on a long drive, we wish we could have stayed for longer and explored the area

Steve United Kingdom

Pool available for a quick dip to cool off after a long drive. Breakfast was simple continental but delicious croissants Beautiful views from our spacious bedroom.

Amanda United Kingdom

Another excellent stay, great location, great facilities, perfect for stopover on way to the south. Kids loved the addition of a swimming pool.

Steve United Kingdom

Fantastic breakfast, friendly host and wonderful views. The pool was a real bonus after a long hot drive! We loved meeting the horses and chickens and guinea fowl!!

Leesa United Kingdom

Great location for stopover, swimming pool an unexpected bonus, lovely breakfast on terrace

Craig United Kingdom

So good to spend a night in a farm in the middle of Normandy. Great place, very good host and comfortable place to spend the night before resuming your road trip. It´s my second time here and I would come back every time I visit Normandy.

Host Info

Host Review Score 9.8

Une adresse incontournable pour les amateurs de randonnées à cheval (monté et attelé), à vélo, à moto ou encore pour les pêcheurs à la carpe ! Au sein d'un élevage de chevaux de course et de location d'équidés, Romain vous guidera à travers les deux massifs forestiers d'Ecouves et de Multonne. Le GR 22 passe à quelques mètres de la propriété qui profite d'une vue panoramique sur la forêt et les herbages des chevaux.
