This was a different and most enjoyable overnight experience. We were guests in David's home, quite literally. He told us about the history of the manor and his family's labour of love to restore it, showed us around the buildings, arranged a restaurant for our evening meal, and gave us good advice about a lovely day trip including Carrouge, Sees, Fresnay, St Suzanne and St. Ceneri. Nice room, comfortable bed and nice breakfast with home-made rhubarb jam!

This is not your typical overnight stop in a standard hotel. If you're looking for a "front desk and receptionist", then this is maybe not for you. But if you want to feel like a valued guest at a historic manor with period features being lovingly restored, your luck is in! We will remember our stay fondly.

Superb property and fantastic location in a quiet village on the outskirts of Alencon. A wonderful building with a great history which the owner, David, explained. Located within a Natura 2000 site on the banks of a river with incredible views across the valley. The rooms are quirky with a mix of old and new decor. The bathroom facilities were modern and the bed was very comfortable. I was the only guest that night due an event being held outside but I was not disturbed. David was very helpful in suggesting places to visit in the surrounding area and further afield (I was travelling down to the south of France). Normally I wouldn't stay in B&B type accommodation but I would make an exception and stay here again. Definitely recommend!

There was nothing I didn't like but just to say it's a 17th century(?) manor house and has been under renovation for many years so it's not 5-star accommodation. However, don't let that put you off. The rooms are clean and comfortable, the grounds are pleasant and the setting is fantastic.

We stayed here on the last leg of our honeymoon, and now we wish we should’ve stayed here longer! The room was spacious and love the fact that we get to stay in an 15th century property. The walks around the manoir is also great, especially when the dog can be off the lead to have a run around. David also kindly showed us the way to the river, where we fed some carrots to the horses. We also really like the fact that you get to have breakfast around the table with other guests. Overall, everything was perfect for us and our dog, and David was an amazing host!

We found this place while looking for accommodation during the Le Mans race. It’s about an hour from the circuit. The rooms are very interesting, and the area is full of beautiful French countryside. You can see a castle from the yard, and even feed the horses that walk around freely. David is a very caring and friendly host – he greeted us every morning with breakfast and even left us a bottle of champagne after the race. If you want to experience the true spirit of the countryside, you’ll love this place!

Unique property with a lot of interesting history in a great location. Easy check-in. Our room was spacious and comfortable. We had a relaxing evening sitting outside in the garden having a drink and enjoying the countryside. David was fantastic! He had nice recommendations for sights to see.

Our bedroom and bathroom were clean, but with the age of the property and the eclectic decor, it would be hard to keep it spotless. If you have allergies, you may be bothered a bit. But considering that the property dates back to the 1600’s (I believe), the ambience and character are well worth a few sneezes! We truly enjoyed this stay.

The Manoir is being restored by the proprietor and has character by the bucketful. The proprietor himself was a lovely character and really made our stay exceptional. The room was comfortable and furnished entirely in sympathy with the building. An excellent breakfast sent us on our way happy and hoping to return.

The property isn’t very obviously signposted; we drove past it twice, but probably our fault as we were looking for a small hotel rather than a chambre d’hôte. A big flashy sign would have been out of character with the property and its location.

This was our second visit, and unlikely to be our last. Wonderful architecture completed by decor of charm and elegance, without going over the top. A welcome that included our dogs, well catered to by the sizeable grounds. David an obliging and engaging host, who provided a fine breakfast.

Nothing really – I just don't want to risk smugness setting in. Maybe David could have forced another coffee on me.

Quirkiness of the building. This is the most unusual place we have ever stayed at. When you arrive, dont be put off by first impressions because you will be pleasantly surprised when you go into your room. Owner is very friendly and tried to assist with booking a restaurant but unfortunately as it was a Monday night, most of the local eating places were closed. Bed was very comfortable. We would stay here again as it was so different!

We had a room with just a bath and would have preferred a full shower and the water wasnt that hot. No bedside tables More choice at breakfast rather than just bread, jam and cakes but I am sure if we had asked, the owner would have been accommodating

A lovely quirky old 'manoir' set in a great location with it's own grounds. Ideal for North/south travellers and those with pets. All the rooms are decorated with old furniture, antiques and paintings, charming but not four star facilities. Breakfast was lovely.

The hand written wi-fi instructions were indecipherable and we had to ask what they were. More information on where to eat in the evening would have been helpful.

This is a must see property, but for one night only. Frederic, the host was charming and funny if not a bit eccentric. He spoke a bit of English which could be helpful if you speak no French. The property is amazing in that it’s character and charm are unique. An eclectic mix of antiques and random ‘bits and bobs’ Our room was large with a huge bed. Breakfast (as said before in other reviews) was plentiful with delicious pastries and tarts. We ate around one big table with two other couples in the kitchen/dining room. Frederic got everyone chatting and laughing even though we were all from different countries.

The bathroom needed attention, the bedding was marked with a couple of stains and out bedroom door didn’t lock, in fact it didn’t shut properly, we had to put two chairs up against it whilst we slept. Although all of this probably adds to it’s charm!
