Great hotel. Beautiful with really helpful owners
We arrived in the early hours of the morning after a long night drive from Caen. The owners had emailed us an entry code and organised a location for the key. They also arranged for us to put our bikes in the garden. The room was spacious, clean and really comfortable. The next morning breakfast was excellent and situated in their beautiful garden. I would definitely recommend this hotel to families.

Pour vivre Heureux, vivons cachés (French saying)
Totally unexpected and hidden retreat for the tired tourists we were. A fully renovated old home transformed in a cosy hotel with authentic materials and genuine decoration. We have highly enjoyed our Old Cognac XSOP glass in a lounge hidden in a cosy corner on first floor...

Very good hotel
We needed somewhere to stay near our daughter and family who were in a gite near Aulnay This hotel proved to be an extremely good base ! Very clean .,comfortable and quite charming Very helpful hosts too We recommend this hotel wholeheartedly ,great ! The only slight drawback is with Aulnay itself ,there is nowhere to enjoy a decent evening meal Just a couple of fast food cafes Aulnay itself is quite charming and we enjoyed visiting the market on Saturday However we did enjoy a marvellous meal in St jean dAngely at L'scorlion restaurant about 20 min away .

Good hotel, no village food
Hotel is a nice property in a (very) quiet village. Room very clean, facilities all good, lounge area, free effective Wi-Fi extremely important when travelling. Owner was polite and informative, a French lady who spoke English well. The only downside was the village restaurant never opened and it proved difficult to get an evening meal.
