Manoir de Savigny

Our stay at the Manoir de Savigny was absolutely delightful. Our rooms were spotless, comfortable, and beautifully decorated. Eric was a marvelous host, and we enjoyed our personal tours of the estate, which he has been restoring with love and respect for its architecture and history. He is so knowledgeable and passionate about his work and was so gracious to share his time. We learned about the changes in the estate over the centuries and its part in the many historical events of this region. The walls could not speak, but Eric spoke for them....and we enjoyed being his students. The estate, with its easy access to the highway, is in an ideal location for those traveling by car and wishing to see the many sites in this area. My husband, a US Army general, had been looking forward to visiting all of the WW II sites and sharing his knowledge with our son, a college junior and Band of Brothers fan. I enjoyed watching them have the time of their lives, as they explored the region. We left early in the morning for our daily jaunts and felt that the estate's location helped in maximizing our time. All of us would certainly recommend the Manoir to those visiting this area, and we look forward to future visits.

Bed and breakfast great experience. It would be good if hosts could offer a little more variety at breakfast-some fruit would be wonderful. Also, absolutely out in the nowhere land so dinner was challenging. More help on that front would have been helpful. Cups and maybe a biscuit in the afternoon would be nice also. Just having something available for guests to help themselves would be nice. Very comfortable and authentic.

fFantastic Manor House full of interest but a bit expensive for what you get. For the charge I would expect tea and coffee facilities in the room at least.

The Manoir is a beautifully restored and maintained property. The gardens are lovely to take a walk around or to sit and admire. We enjoyed a lovely two days and would definitely recommend it for a short stay. Its very convenient for catching a ferry from Cherbourg. One of the most beautiful and charming properties I've stayed in.

Beautiful, stylish hotel in a quiet rural location. Breakfast was excellent and the owner was friendly and helpful. Would definitely recommend to families, couples or anyone.

We were welcomed by the helpful and friendly patron who advised us of local places to eat. Our room although quirky (African decor) was comfortable and had everything one could need, including a hairdryer. The building was charming and the setting quiet and peaceful.

We only had a one night stay on our way for the crossing from Cherbourg but could happily have stayed longer and it had a cottage in the grounds which looked charming and would be perfect for longer stays. The manor was a lovely 15th century house which had been renovated to a high standard. It was situated in large gardens with lovely walks and close to the beaches for people wanting to visit the cemetries of the 2nd world war. I would certainly recommend it to friends.

Totally enjoyable visit . Stayed one night but will definitely stay there again for longer . Total relaxation . Peace and quiet . Fabulous rooms . Best B&B I've ever stayed in . Highly recommended .

It was easy to find at night inspite of our worries. pleasant owner who made us welcomed,had good room with lovely views ,the continantal breakfast was more than enough to keep us going around this lovely part of normandy for a nice weekend.

Of the four hotels we stayed at during our driving trip through France, Brussels and Germany, the Manoir de Savigny was by far the most personable and satisfying, and the best value. The building is a an approximately 16th century multi-room European manor that is consructed like a small castle, situated in a very beautiful and quiet rural location among many acres of apple trees, small farm fields and tall woods. Our room was a beautiful two bedroom suite with very pleasant period/regional decor and beautiful views of the grounds from nearly every window. When we arrived at Manoir de Savigny, we were immediately greeted outside beside our car by the very warm and charming Eric ("famous Eric" as we called him, given that we felt we already knew him from the very favorable reviews we found on TripAdvisor.com). Eric was a perfect and very personable host who made us feel like invited guests to his home. He greeted us every morning at our breakfast table, which was laid out with simple yet very satisfying continental fare (delicious and fresh local croissants, breads and pastries, cereals, teas, coffee, etc.), and gave us tips on what to see (especially Le mont St. Michel), where to eat in Valognes(especially La Dolca Vita) and great stories about the previous owners and inhabitants of the manor and of the significant historical aspects of the surrounding area. We couldn't have enjoyed our stay more and look forward to our next visit to Normandy and the Manoir de Savigny!
