10/10 Exceptional

This French farm house is beautiful. I felt like I was staying in someone's home. One of the hosts, Peter, gave wonderful background about the surrounding area and was very flexible about making breakfast early as needed. The breakfast was delightful with homemade yogurt and jams, local cheeses and meats as well as the classic French bread varieties and croissants. My room was big and lovely and the property lovely to look out on. The surrounding village is peaceful. The perfect place to unwind. Also near Falaise and the attraction of William the Conqueror's birthplace as well as the museum of the civilians and the occupation. The town is picturesque with lovely restaurants and a very small town comfort and charm. A few lines of French are helpful along the way, still the locals are so kind there was no problem with communication. The Normandy invasion sites are also very accessible and easily driveable within a day from the farm. I stayed there 3 nights after staying Paris (for 5) and it is the perfect place to end a trip. If I return to France and that region (which I hope to do as it is delightful), I will definitely stay at La Vieille Ferme. :)

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.

Outstanding experience. We arrived very tired and asked about dinner options in the town. Our host (a gourmet chef, as we knew) presented us the "bar menu", which in America means junk food (nachos, french fries, etc.). We stayed in, ordering the homemade sausage special (served with couscous and an apple chutney), charcuterie, and a wonderful tomato Caprese salad. We also had the proper dinner the second night - the duck was a masterpiece. Great facility, very friendly hosts, very highly 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!
