Great stay in beautiful surroundings

We had a great time! We were two families (though the property could have easily taken more) getting away after so many months at home, and this was exactly what we wanted. Plenty of space for the kids to run around, the pool was great, loads of space inside the house, the grounds were amazing (made for a great game of hide and seek) and Kelly and Tony were great hosts.

Fabulous place!! Can't wait to come back again!!!

This was my second time staying at the chateau and it is one of my favorite places to visit! The house is perfect, the rooms are spacious, and the property is beautiful! Kelly is the best! Loved making bonfires by the pond, and feeding the horses. There are many towns a short drive away where you can find everything you need! Would definitely visit again this place is amazing!!!

Best Girls/Moms trip ever!

What a wonderful place to spend time with good friends! We cooked in the well equipped kitchen and on the BBQ, had a wine tasting, went for walks, antiquing, lunches out, several of the Normandy sites... I could go on! We loved our relaxing visit and maybe next year the husbands can come! Thank you for sharing your warm home with us! Linda D.

Awesome French Chateau

Felt the need to write a review that is long overdue! My girlfriends and I (small group of 6) have gone many times over the last decade. The Chateau is a historic, french country home with ample space for all of us. It is as though you have stepped back into a simpler place and time. This is to me its biggest charm. It allows our group to connect with each other, which is one of the reasons we have gone back time and tiime again. The locals are frinedly and inclusive, which adds so much to the experience. My poor attempts to speak french are greeted warmly. There are so many amazing sites. Omaha beaches are a must. Unbelieveable and very moving! Also love Cancale where you sit on the beach and eat all the oysters you can. Lots of great towns close by with great shopping and historical sites. Love Coutances and Granville. The weekends briing great markets and massive town yard sales (like nothing you have ever seen) . The hunt to find great gifts to bring back to the states for only a euro or 2 makes for a fun day. The sausage baguette is breakfast...can never get enough of those. YUM!! They are at every market and town sale. The real charm is staying at the house at the end of the day. We always dine out for lunch but dinner at the house infront of the massive fireplace keeps us warm all night long. Do make plans for a car, as you will need it. If you want a driver and tour guide, that is also available. Contact the owner, who can give you ample names for driving, catering and other services. I have done both. First time there, I recommend driver so you sit back, relax and take in the sites. Beautiful country! If you feel the need to dance, only 5 minutes away is (in the middle of a field) a disco. Its a hoot....always fun stories to share later. Normandy is truly one of my favorite places in Europe. So much to see and this place is charming and unique.....always a good time. Lynn Stuart, FL

Perfect home in Normandy!

We had the best time in Normandy at this completely authentic French chateau. Location is perfect for seeing all the tourist spots in Normandy and exploring all the surrounding towns. The house itself is so beautiful -- built in the 1600s and all its charm preserved. Kelly was so helpful before and during our stay, and we look forward to returning here on our next trip!

Amazing stay

The property is gorgeous and the house even more so. While we spent quite a bit of time exploring different things in and around Normandy we also found ourselves spending hours on the property itself. When we return to France we will be stopping by Normandy if for no other reason than to stay here. Thank you Mrs. Corbett for a fantastic experience and being so helpful prior to and during our time in this beautiful home!

Very disappointing

After fruitless attempts at dialogue with Ms Corbett and after seeing recent "reviews" we feel obliged to post the following factual account of our two weeks in August 2016. A very disappointing experience. This is an eccentric Maison de Maitre with most of the facilities, décor and furnishings being of the standard of my great-grandmother's 1950s house in a similar rural setting, close to a farm. The advertised specification (as of August 2015) was misleading in parts. Things may have changed, but for us (6 professional adults and 4 teenagers): - We found ourselves living in a house which had not been "restored" in the modern sense of the word. - There were few modern conveniences - UK Sky basic service excepted. - There was no tumble dryer. It was lying in a heap in the utility room. - The promised mid-rent change of bedding did not happen. We had to find clean bedding and change the beds ourselves. - Archaic - we would argue probably unsafe - kitchen facilities with inadequate cooking equipment and the smallest microwave imaginable. - We had to deal with some exposed electric wiring (there was a 2 year old in the party), and dubious wiring system standard generally. - Constant battle with flies because of the neighbouring farm and unhygienic kitchen. In some winds a rich animal dung smell from a not very well managed farm. - Generally unsuitable sports equipment. For example, we had to buy table tennis bats and balls. - The pool is not adjacent to the house but is close to the cottage, some 60 metres away, which can be rented separately. The pool was not fenced. - The poolside cabana is actually part of the cottage. - There is easy access to but 2 to 3 acres of the advertised large estate. - We were warned that eating any fish caught in the "stocked pond" was unsafe. - Crucially, there were no instructions for electrical appliances, television, DVD and VCR(!) players, access to fuel or anything else. The only relief was that the concierge was as helpful as she could be (and luckily we speak French) but gave us Gallic shrugs and smiles to all the above. It was very disappointing. It merits but a 1 of a 5 star rating. Ms Corbett has had some months to respond to a draft of this review but has chosen silence. -

Slice of Heaven in France

Hidden down a private drive. This jewel is nestled behind a guard wall and opens onto pastoral views and a pond. The chateau is magnificent and its setting only adds to its grace. The interior tells of 400 years of history, Stone walls,magnificent fireplaces, spiraling staircases and salons, hidden wine caves and quiet libraries.. However the owners have made it warm and homey. There is an up dated kitchen....as well as updated baths and six cozy bedrooms. Large manor windows open to the breezes and the amazing vistas. Truly a place you could never leave. But then you would miss the quaint restaurants and bars. Le Mont St Michel, Coutances, The DDay Beaches, St Lo, The Bayeux Tapestry and Granville. I have visited Normandy and the chateau on numerous occasions and never tire of the experience. Open air markets with fresh produce, cheese, shell fish and meats which makes your mouth water. Ancient towns are nestled along the sea each with a view worthy of enjoying over a cold bier or French wine. I could go on and on ....a fabulous home with the added bonus of a guest house. This slice of heaven is perfect for a family reunion...a wedding or a retreat. , Reprends moi!!!!!!!

Fabulous!

Fabulous! That's the best way to describe a stay at this chateau and its surroundings. The chateau was everything we had hoped: authentic, clean, well appointed, elegant and charmingly decorated with Norman antiques and artifacts and beautifully landscaped. Picking herbs from the kitchen garden, afternoon swims in the pool, early morning walks in the quiet countryside, late nights by the fire pit or in the chateau "pub"....these are memories we'll treasure forever. Once we managed to tear ourselves from the chateau, we visited the WWII landing beaches, Mt St Michelle, Bayeux, Granville, Cancale, Caen.. all located within driving distance. Great choice for couples or families. We will definitely return!!

Best of Normandy

Wonderful home and property...couldn't have asked for more! Left the kids at home and took three other couples for the week. Out in the countryside but the drive to Granville is convenient and beautiful. For all the history buffs...the WWII beaches are 45 minutes away. Home is filled with wonderful books and antiques as well as all the required amenities. The woman who is available to cook during a stay was super warm and her cooking was outstanding! Wonderful time at a magnificent chateau in the Normandy countryside!

Charm, history, comfort

This was the trip of a lifetime and we felt as though we actually were living the life of a country French family. The roaring fire in the fireplace each night at dinner, opening the window in the kitchen each morning as we enjoyed breakfast, the grounds surrounding the home, the deep reds and greens of the ivy and hydrangeas in fall, the horses and cows in the fields were all part of the allure. The comfortable family room was an excellent place to relax at the end of busy days. And the guys watched as much of Band of Brothers that they could fit in (there's a great video library). The location in Normandy makes day trips to Mont St Michelle, D-Day beaches and the ocean so easy. Columbe, the housekeeper/chef/welcoming party, made us the most wonderful dinners. She is a delight. We hope to return one day and will if at all possible!
