I absolutely love this place! Glenda and Steve are wonderful hosts. They speak English and French. It was so nice to meet a local who speaks English and could gives us recommendations for where to visit. The room was comfortable and had a private bathroom with a shower. Very clean. We had plenty of privacy. And I have never been anywhere that was so quiet and peaceful. I actually slept all the way through the night every night we were there, didn't wake up once. It was also nice to be able to sit in the yard and relax between tourist stuff as a change of pace, away from everything. The location is great. It's just a few minutes from Pontorson and just a few more minutes to Mont St. Michel. It also worked out as a great place to explore Normandy and Brittany, as we were able to easily drive to Omaha Beach for the American WWII Memorial (and D-Day beaches) and to Cancale via the coastal highway for some amazing (amazing!) seafood. Glenda had a nice breakfast spread for us every morning, including croissants, chocolate filled pastries, yogurt, a variety of toast with homemade jams (delicious), fresh fruit, juice, and coffee or tea. The price can't be beat, just remember it's cash only. And you better book long in advance because they get plenty of visitors. And just a word of advice, if you are flying back to the USA after visiting here, it might be a good idea to stay away from the animals because you could have a hard time getting through customs (and don't step in anything!).
Just one more thing...Glenda and Steve are two of the most wonderful people I have ever met! It may be awhile until our next visit, but we will be returning to La Petite Chesnee the next time we go to France. read more
