This was our third overnight stay here. Peter is a fantastic chef and we had a wonderful evening meal and breakfast. If you need somewhere to stay near Caen port, this makes an excellent overnight stop.

Rustic charm and great breakfast
This waz a really e joyable stay in a traditional French farm, now run as a small chambre d'ote by a British family. We lovex the quiet farming village location and the charm of the buildings. The host was very relaxed and helpful. We had the use of a communal guest lounge complete with tv and books and tea making facilities. Thefe was also a fridge for guests and a small mini bar of drinks at very reasonable orices. Room was spacious and warm and comfortable. Breakfast was lovely with fresh bread and lots of homemade goodies. I wish we had been tbere longer to join in witb with the farmhouse cooking lessons the host organises. If you want a change from the busy city and modern concrete business hotel this is an ideal place.

a charming place!
This is a beautiful old house. The room was very sweet and nicely decorated, dinner and breakfast were yummy. And it's wonderful that we could eat the breakfast in the porch or outside with all the green surrounding us and the kids could run in the garden.

Comfortable, good value stay
We stayed here for 1 night in June 2019 while on our way to Bayeux from Limoges. We arrived at 9pm but were still greeted with a friendly smile from Su and they were happy to cook us a delicious omelette and salad each. The room was clean and well-appointed with a most comfortable bed. Breakfast was plentiful and tasty. Everything, including drink, was excellent value. There is a communal room with television. Slightly off the beaten track (20 mins from the motorway) but with good directions, this is a charming place to stay in the French countryside. Overall, definitely recommended.

Beautiful, peaceful hotel
We (family) stayed as a stop over up to Calais. The family room was very comfortable, there was room to move around. The kids enjoyed the games room, played on the board games. Also seeing the animals,very fluffy gerbil. We enjoyed the evening 3 course meal. Breakfast was excellent. The hosts were very friendly. Thank you for making our final holiday night so memorable.

Fun on the farm with the fam
Peter and Su maintain this B&B on the site of an old farm that still has goats, sheep, and chickens (fresh eggs in the morning!). The rooms are small but clean and Peter and Su are amazing hosts (we also signed up for their cooking experience - Peter is a chef and together we made an amazing French lunch). Lots to do in the surrounding area within driving distance - all in all we had a great time staying at La Veille Ferme!

Charming old Farm - Nice Breakfast
We had a lovely one-night stay at Le Vielle Ferme. We rented the family room, which was really nice. We truly enjoyed strolling around the farm and enjoyed meeting the goats, sheep, guinie pigs and rabbits. We even took a long walk down the country lane and enjoyed the beautiful landscape. Breakfast was very good. No complaints.
