This 4* hotel has rooms in two separate buildings. Ours was located across the lovely garden, with parking outside the door. Breakfast was excellent with a good choice of hot and cold buffet. Our room was very comfortable and quiet. The garden was stunning with lots of different places to sit comfortably and sculptures to admire. The location was easy to find and perfect as we crossed Normandy to return home. Avranches is a very interesting town to explore but not easily accessible on foot from the hotel.

The small cups for making a hot drink were cracked and only 2 tea bags (no coffee) were provided.

Perfect location for exploring Normandy … close to all of the sites we wanted to visit. We were warmly greeted by the owner on our arrival, who personally showed us around and made sure we were comfortable. We decided to eat dinner here and were treated to an excellent gastronomic meal. My only regret was having to leave the next day. The breakfast buffet was especially good – lots of home made dishes and good coffee. Our rooms were comfortable and spotlessly clean and well-decorated. A real find!

…only that we couldn’t stay another night

Lovely property on the outskirts of Avranches, perfect for exploring the Normandy beaches, Mont St Michel and Saint Malo. We ate in the restaurant one night which was very nice and had breakfast a couple of times, where there was a good selection. There was also a nice patio to sit outside our room, and the rooms were comfortable and spacious. Parking on the property a plus.

Nothing to dislike

Pretty hotel with nice gardens, lots of thoughtful touches and a very lovely breakfast. welcoming staff. Luxurious bathroom. Comfortable sofa bed for the children.

plants growing through the stairs made it difficult to use the railing on that side, which while it looks pretty is not great for accessibility. Jacuzzi use incurred a fee - I think this feels wrong to make this chargeable considering the price of the room, I doubt anyone uses it much, we saw no one in it during our time there. would be better not to have it if you are going to charge, or offer a session as a ‘bonus’ with booking.

We stayed in the two bed villa. Beautifully decorated, with every need catered for. It is a very comfortable, tasteful and a place that was so easy to relax in. Gorgeous garden with lots of interesting nooks and crannies. Friendly and helpful staff. Highly recommended as a place to stay.

Breakfast was a good selection of cold and a few hot options. A little overpriced in my opinion at €16 p.p. When we arrived we booked a slot in the glasshouse for breakfast at 9 the next morning. The following morning we got a call at 8.40 to say it was very busy ant breakfast and could we come at 9.15 instead. We had a tour booked that morning so we couldn’t eat any later. They proposed that they might bring breakfast to the villa instead which we were fine with. They rang back 10 mins later to say we could come to the glasshouse as planned. When we arrived there were quite a few empty tables which was a bit confusing. Small niggles in an overall excellent experience.

This was an overnight stop on the way to the Brittany coast further south. The property consists of the main building, a villa with more rooms in the garden, and a beautiful little house behind the hotel proper, which is where we stayed. It was spotless and beautifully decorated, with a sitting room (kettle and excellent tea and herbal tea bags ans. Lack coffee) and bathroom downstairs (bath and separate shower, shower very good) and separate toilet, and two smallish bedrooms upstairs, the first with a double bed and the second with two single beds squeezed in in an L-shape. Velux windows. In a park setting, lot of birdsong and flowers in July. No restaurant, but good options in Avranches centre, a few minutes drive or half an hour walk. Breakfast in the conservatory overlooking the gardens, of very high quality, the usual cereals, excellent selection of bread and jams as well as cheese, ham etc. Plenty of parking. Would definitely return.

Nothing really. When booking on the internet I found it difficult to see exactly what was included in the little house so have tried to be more precise, we were only two people but needed two rooms, and this served the purpose - but if booking it for more people please be aware that the second of the single beds is tucked right into the corner where the roof comes down, maybe best for children or smaller adults. But also beware for young children or less able-bodied adults, the stairs are windy, not the sort you can hurry down!! If that isn’t suitable for you then try the main building or villa.

The host & hostess was lovely. The house was clean and room was spacious and quaint. We spent a couple of days in Normandy and used this as an overnight stay before visiting Mont St. Michel in the morning. We went to dinner at a restaurant recommended by the hostess and were pleasantly surprised by how charming the town of Avranches was. We would love to come back to explore Normandy and will definitely keep Rate La Ramada in mind for future stays.

The location was perfect,just a short drive from Mont Sain-Michel. We loved the gated parking,as we needed to park securely, it gave the hotel a magical feel like a castle. I personally adored the building,with beautifully curated garden and the exquisite French decorated rooms. We stayed in the room Eglantine,adorable and spacious for the four of us. The receptionist was so helpful as it gave us lots of tips on where to watch the perfect sunset,which we did, local restaurants and to view the Mont Saint-Michel. The breakfast was not included in our price but was plentiful and varied. I would definitely recommend and surely I will visit again. Thank you from all of us for making our stay memorable.

The breakfast was a bit pricey.

We booked the suite, which was a little cottage in the grounds, with a very nice living area and a terrace with table and chairs. There are shutters on the bedroom (roof) windows, so you can properly darken the rooms. The location is on the outskirts but there was a bakery in walking distance. We had limited need to interact with staff but they were very nice. About 20 minutes or so from Mont St. Michel which made it convenient for us.

Some of the beds were a little bit hard - this may be personal preference. A mini-fridge would be handy when travelling with a family, or just to store milk for tea/coffee.

What a gorgeous hotel! Our beautiful room overlooked the French gardens. We had a picnic in the gazebo amongst the flowers. Each night we had delicious meal at different restaurants recommended by the staff. The morning breakfast was served in a glass sunroom. A dreamy stay!!
