Breakfast was typical French - cheese and fresh breads, coffee and tea, juices. Beautiful dining room in the 17th century chateau. Fresh fruits from the property were delicious.
Denis was an excellent host. We showed up relatively late and had not eaten dinner. Within half an hour we were sated with food and a bottle of Pommeau provided by our hoste.
Nothing.

The driveway to the Chateau was very impressive and we loved the warm welcome we received from the owners and their black Labrador dog. Our room was very clean, spacious and the bathroom was a good size too, which overlooked the Chateau grounds. Lovely original features which were a bonus. It was also handy to place items in their pantry fridge for later on and the use of the microwave. Breakfast was ample with a good variety to choose from. We met the owner's son, cat and even their one pet sheep who was happily grazing on the land. We had a great stay, thank you.

Nice little Chateau. Special place. Traditional house. Friendly owner welcomed us and gave good information on the region. (You certainly need a car or you are a biker). Spacious room and bathroom, clean.

On arrival for anyone staying ring the bell at the front of the chateau
Would have loved to open the windows and shutters to look out over the gorgeous garden

I chose this property to allow my family to experience traditional old style rural French living and I think this house is absolutely that so probably not for anyone wanting modern influence. The location gave quiet tranquility yet only minutes from the major route to all the places we wanted to visit so great location. The rooms were all a good size , clean and traditionally French in decoration and furniture - no mod cons here! The hosts were around if you cared to find them as they went about their home jobs and they offered good recommendations of places to visit and good restaurant choices. There were travellers here from all different nationalities so conversation at the breakfast table was most enjoyable.
As a family our French is limited (our fault) so I would say it would be useful to have a menu or note on the table to say what is available for breakfast. We did not know for example that hot chocolate was available on request and we would have chosen that if we’d have known.

We enjoyed a nice stay in the spacious and cosy front room of the castle with view of the pond. Hosts Denis and Tanya are very welcoming and helpful with anything you need. Breakfast was good with fresh eggs each morning. When sitting in the garden you'll maybe get company from the chickens, goat and dog named Tayou! A lovely experience and recommendable!

As soon as I arrived at the door, it was very quiet and there was no one around. Because it was an old house, it felt a little gloomy indoors. I was a little scared at first, always thinking about some movie scenes.
But after staying, I met a warm host, had a very good breakfast, and had a very quiet night, wonderful place and a unforgettable experience

Everything was simply perfect! A beautiful château and garden with a pond.
The access from the "route nationale" was simple and fast, still the Château was surrounded by quiet landscape. Both the surroundings and the inside gave us a feeling of being in a really special place.
The rooms are clean and offer lots of space. The interior is kept mainly historic.
The Château provides a familiar atmosphere. We really enjoyed spending the evenings down in the pretty salon with some of the other guests. Our hosts were very friendly and helpful throughout our stay. There was no question that was left unanswered, none of our needs remained unsatisfied. Special thanks again for the incredible dinner! The highlights for our little daughter were definitely "Masha" the cat and "Gertrude" the lovely sheep. They kept her busy all day. From Fresville everything on the Cotentin Peninsula was easy to access by car. Historic sites, beautiful beaches and landscape as well as seafood restaurants.
Perfect family time! Next time in Normandy will only be in Château des poteries.
To be honest in our opinion everything was perfect, lucky child, lucky we

Fantastic hosts who offered us drinks as well as a dinner service since there was a curfew in place. The only thing you need to know is that some bits could use a coat of paint or otherwise freshening up (particularly the bathroom). But for the price it was every bit worth the money ! Would definitely recommend
Just need the bathroom redone

Very nice hosts who give you a warm welcome and lots of travel tips, good breakfast (excellent croissants) at the joint breakfast table, very clean and impressive decor, very welcoming towards our baby, interesting dday sites nearby.
Kitchen equipment could be more elaborate for those that want to self-cater

7.5 / 10.0
Denis was an excellent host. He gave us lots of information about the surrounding areas, and we visited a few places we wouldn't have otherwise and were well worth a visit. His recommendations for restaurants were particularly good. He sat us down for a nice drink when we arrived and gave us an overview of the region. This is a quirky, slightly eccentric, charming place. If you want sterile, anonymous, and ordinary, don't stay here! No TVs in rooms, for instance. If you enjoy history, charm, and the unusual, this is your place. The rooms were big and tastefully decorated and the bathrooms were also sizeable. Decent breakfast, pet friendly, and we enjoyed the resident dog and sheep.
The room smelled a bit weird. We kept the window open, which helped. New mattresses! The Wifi was spotty. Bathrooms could use a bit of love (Grotting should be replaced as should the shower curtains. They're clean! But the mold and rust just looks a bit off-putting. Normal for older places, but still). Also, some soap or shower gel would have been welcome. A towel rack would be a nice addition. The light in the upstairs hallway needs to be fixed. We had to use the flashlight on our mobile phones to unlock our door. I loved the overgrown grounds, which added to the mystery and charm of the place. But clearing up some parts would be good - the cigarette butts in the water-filled stone basins in the front, dog poop bags from the side, old carpets on the ground around the back.

Le cadre naturel du Cotentin à cet endroit, c'est une région à parcourir à vélo.
Le jardin pourrait être magnifique mais il n'était pas entretenu depuis deux ans, l'hôte nous a dit qu'il allait le faire en 2025 mais qu'en effet il avait du retard. La nourriture du petit-déjeuner est mal choisie sauf les oeufs du poulailler et si on insiste un peu on peut avoir un miel qui ne sorte pas du supermarché. Mauvais rapport qualité prix global. Mais le lieu pourrait être enchanteur avec un peu plus de soin sur la nourriture et le jardin !

Der Charme des Schlösschens hat uns eingefangen und wir haben uns dort sehr wohl gefühlt. Es war, als wenn man in einem Schloss hinter die Absperrung durfte, die alten Möbel praktisch wiederbeleben.
Es gab für uns, nichts auszusetzen.

Een charmant oud chateau, veel sfeer, prima ontbijt.
Sfeervolle kamer met goed bed.
In eerste instantie een stugge, onvriendelijke ontvangst door eigenaar. We voelden ons absoluut niet welkom. We hadden de bel niet opgemerkt en na kloppen voorzichtig de voordeur opengedaan. Dit werd niet op prijs gesteld. Leek alsof we niet verwacht werden. Gelukkig draaide de houding van de eigenaar later bij en werd het alsnog een prima verblijf in een prachtige omgeving.

Nous avons apprécié l'accueil personnalisé et l'authenticité du lieu. Les hôtes étaient disponibles et chaleureux. Nous avons eu droit à une visite en petit comité du musée de l'horlogerie, tenu par l'hôte du château. Anecdotes et bon conseils au programme. Nous en conservons un très bon souvenir !
Rien.

Luogo incantevole, una bellissima esperienza in un castello con atmosfere d'altri tempi. Punto di partenza molto comodo per visitare in auto le vicine Barfleur, Sainte-Mere-Eglise e le spiagge dello sbarco. Gli host sono stati disponibilissimi con noi e soprattutto con la nostra bimba, facendola giocare col loro bellissimo labrador o con la pecorella Brigitte ogni volta che lo chiedeva!
Essendo un castello bisogna un po' adattarsi: il wifi non era il massimo ovunque, la cucina comune e certe aree condivise potrebbero essere migliorate.

Notre hôte a eu la gentillesse de nous proposer un repas alors que nous étions arrivés à 1h30 du matin car notre véhicule était tombé en panne sur l'autoroute (après plus de 10h de route). Le château est un endroit unique à la fois de par son esthétique et son atmosphère.

Merci beaucoup à Denis et son épouse qui nous accueillent dans un lieu hors du temps.
Mes filles et moi avons adoré l'ambiance, l''environnement, la décoration, la propreté du Château, la gentillesse et la générosité de nos hôtes, et le bon petit-déjeuner.
Je suis enchantée de cette escapade et reviendrai sans aucun doute.

Un endroit calme et reposant de part son emplacement. Idéal pour passer un séjour au logement atypique en famille. Très bon accueil du propriétaire des lieux qui nous a indiqué dès notre arrivée les lieux à visiter sur la seconde guerre mondiale.

Très beau château dans la campagne verdoyante et très calme, vraiment reposant. Superbe jardin et excellent petit déjeuner copieux avec des produits de qualité. Nous avons tout aimé. Les hôtes sont très accueillants et généreux. Bravo à Ania pour la propreté et la douceur des lieux, toujours souriante. Denis est très dynamique il est très impliqué dans ses tâches et malgré l'énorme boulot que cela demande il prend toujours le temps de discuter et vous conseille sur les alentours. Nous reviendrons une troisième fois avec grand plaisir!

ACCUEIL DEPLORABLE aussitôt descendus de voiture le propriétaire visiblement perturbé nous a reproché notre heure d'arrivée avant même de nous saluer ; il était 16:40 et nous avions signifier une heure d'arrivée entre 16 : 00 et 17 : 00 ce que nous lui avons indiqué. Sa réponse a été qu'il avait des courses à faire et n'avait pas que ça à faire que d'attendre les gens. Puis il nous a montré un cahier rempli manuscritement par ses soins et nous a dit qu'il n'avait pas de réservation à notre nom. Il a ajouté extrêmement sèchement qu'il ne nous garderait pas si nous n'avions pas réservé. Je lui ai montré mon mail de réservation BOOKING et il avait noté le nom de nos amis (occupants de la seconde chambre). Il nous a dit que l'on partait sur sur des mauvaises bases et que l'on pouvait quitter les lieux et que nous serions remboursés. N'étant pas certains du remboursement, nous avons tenté vainement de joindre BOOKING et par dépit nous avons décidé de rester.
Il nous a dit que l'on n'aurait plus affaire à lui car c'est son épouse qui nous servirait les petits déjeuners durant les 3 jours. Les 2 premiers jours c'est lui qui nous a servi (en l'absence de son épouse) ; ce fût très froid et avons eu droit à des réflexions puériles.
Heureusement le 3ème jour le sourire de son épouse nous a permis de prendre un petit déjeuner dans la sérénité.
Ne comprenant pas les critiques excellentes que nous avions lues avant de réserver (notamment sur l'accueil) nous sommes allés consulter les critiques les plus mauvaises sur BOOKING et sur TRIP ADVISOR et là ... nous comprenons !
Cela fait 45 ans que nous louons des logements à travers la France et l'Europe et jamais nous n'avons été aussi mal reçus.
Concernant le château, la propreté est approximative, les équipements dans les chambres et salle de bains sommaires, bref le rapport qualité prix n'est pas justifié.

Es war ein interessantes Erlebnis, in einem Schloss zu wohnen. Die Lage und die Aussicht in den Garten waren top. Das Gastgeberpaar war sehr freundlich, hilfsbereit, mehrsprachig und großzügig.
Es war alles gut.
