Our family of 20 people aged 2 up to 84 years old had a fantastic time here. Both the properties had all the amenities we could have asked for and a great fire in the main house. Lisa and Ged were extremely accommodating. Fantastic scenery and properties alike. I would definitely recommend staying here and we hope to be back again in the future.

Our family of 2 adults and 3 children stayed here for 1 week on our own and were joined by friends (another 5) for the second week. The location was perfect for us as we wanted to explore the region and this provided a good central base. We did several day trips to St Malo, Mont St Michel, Cancale (fantastic seafood!!), D Day beaches, Caen, Castles at Fougeres and Falaise, and also loved exploring closer villages and market days. House was well set up and beautifully clean. The back yard was fantastic for the children to run around and play. The weather was chilly during our stay so we had the fire going a lot of the time and it was no problem for us to have more firewood. Lisa and Ged were both more than helpful and made us feel extremely welcome.

Fantastic bread & croissants at bakery in local village. The girls enjoyed a fun Easter egg hunt in the pretty gardens. Lunch at Manoir du Lys, very posh & very pleasant. Taster menu for adults very nice, expensive but price fine for Michelin starred restaurant. Also, lovely location and very good with the girls. Mont St. Michel was a fantastic sight and we were very impressed with the Zoo de Champrepus, lots to see, very well kept & we loved going into the enclosures with the lemurs! Lunch at Auberge de la Source, amazing! Had the taster menu again, very good value & again very good with children. A fantastic restaurant and definitely worth a visit. Afternoon spent at Village Enchanté, the girls loved it , again, very good value. Waterfalls and La Abbey Blanche, both worth a visit.
Lovely location & villa - Thank you Lisa & Ged, we had a lovely holiday!

A great place for a reunion! The location was perfect for all of our Normandy adventures. St Malo, Dinan, Mont St. Michel, your fresh market in a gale storm! Chambord, Chenonceau, Omaha beach & Bayeux. Nicole Sarda was an amazing plethora of fabulous stories on our tour of the D Day beaches!

We had two great weeks at La Mancelliere. Your accommodation is nice and cosy, the garden perfect for children to run and play in!
We saw a lot: Fougeres, Granville, Alligator Bay, Mont St. Michel, Cancale, Mortain and Abbey Blanche, the hound and horses show in Pleugueneuc, market day in St. Hilaire.
Beaches: Genets, and Jullouville where the waves gave us great fun and pleasure. Beer & pizza at La Pavillion Bleue. We also visited the American and German war cemeteries. In Fougerolles we ate a brioche, bought at the French Champion’s boulangerie, so now we also know what a brioche looks and tastes like!
To recommend: Bike hiring - John and Veronica Hall, nice and helpful bike people.
We would return!

Teresa Philpotts - Wirral, England.
Sixteen of us stayed for a week at La Mancelliere in both houses and had a fantastic time!! Great days out exploring France and nights in with wine, BBQ and good food. A big thank you to Ged & Lisa for letting us stay in your beautiful house, it is a fantastic place to stay and will leave us all with great family memories (the kids will miss the chickens and collecting the eggs). We don’t want to go home and will be sure to return!! Many thanks.
Watson, Philpotts & Tasker Family - Merseyside, England.
From the moment that we arrived Ged and Lisa were extremely friendly and welcoming. The Farmhouse itself was wonderful and well equipped with everything that our party of 13 could have possibly needed (we ranged from 9 months old to ...well, lets just say a lot older). The children took full advantage of the beautiful garden and our 4 year old especially loved going to see the sheep and helping Ged and Lisa collect the hens’ eggs. We couldn't recommend this property highly enough. Don't hesitate, book it if you have the chance. It was a great base to allow us all to explore Normandy and Brittany, two weeks just wasn’t enough!
Two of the best weeks spent as a family in a fantastic house. Great place to visit. Too much to do and too little time to do it. Will be back to start a new adventure. Thanks for all your help and wonderful accommodation.
Gibson & Hannah families - North England.
Our second visit to La Mancelliere!
Best beach by far is Saint-Lunaire Rue de Longchamp, free parking, clean toilets and a beach-side cafe that does nice snacks and fries that taste so good after a swim.
A safe place for children to run around in and enough videos to last the holiday. A star gazer’s paradise on a clear night, this place is an ideal retreat from everyday pace of life. Our thanks to Lisa & Ged for being such good and helpful hosts. Only 48 weeks to go before we return with ALL the family!
The Pye family - Liverpool & Streatham.
A beautiful place! The kids have enjoyed collecting the eggs from the chickens and playing in the gardens. They say thank you for letting them borrow the bikes and toys in the shed. We have found many things to do nearby and would love to come back again. Thank you very much for a lovely holiday. The outdoor space has been fabulous! Peace & quiet!
Liz, Sam, Ellie, William and Dylan - Castlethorpe, MK, England.
Thank you for providing such a serene break at La Mancelliere. The past three nights have helped us recharge our batteries after our hectic touring of Europe. The surrounds, atmosphere and your beautiful gite have all combined to make this a truly memorable moment in our 4 week holiday. We will be recommending your stay as a must for future Aussie travellers. Thank you again for providing such beautiful gardens to stroll around in, the tranquil setting and the most comfortable and clean accommodation which gave us so much space. We loved our 2 days of travelling through countryside discovering beautiful small villages and of course Le Mont St. Michel!!
Anne & Mark Smith - NSW, Australia.
Thank you for all your help providing such a fantastic Christmas with the whole of our family. We had both properties and had great fun with everyone joining in. We have seen some great towns and cities on our days out. The farmhouse and villa are very nice and we have decided to come back as we would love to see the gardens in the summer. We wish you all the best for the future.
