La Cantellerie

Very comfortable and great hosts

If you appreciate attention to detail and a personal touch you can’t do better than choose La Cantarellerie for your accommodation on the Normandy coast west of Caen. Rudolphe’s and his wife Laurence have created a charming bed and breakfast venue in their delightful mid 19th century mansion surrounded by walled gardens in a quiet street within easy walking distance of the seafront and beach, the harbour and the centre of Courseulles sur mer. We chose the Deluxe double room with shower, (very modern and efficient) for our three night stay. There was no TV, which suited us, and instead of in- room tea/coffee facilities we enjoyed tea in the delightful lounge or in the well- kept rear garden, brought to us by Laurence who added local delicacies to try. They advertise an ‘exceptional breakfast’ and they are not wrong! Homemade yogurt and granola with fresh minted fruit salad followed by pastries and a selection of homemade jams. We were also offered cold meats, cheese and eggs but we didn’t require anything else. Our Earl Grey tea was poured into bone china cups with saucers which we really appreciated. We were lucky enough to persuade our hosts, who both admitted that they love cooking, to prepare us dinner one evening. It was superb with all the ingredients locally sourced, and accompanied by Rudolphe’s wine recommendations. La Canterellerie is truly ‘Something Special. ‘

Not applicable for breakfast . Hosts were very helpful .

Wi fi in cottage not available downstairs but worked upstairs in bedroom.

Hosts Rodolphe and wife Laurence, provide exceptional service. Very peaceful place, a short walk to everything in Courseulles-sur-Mer. Breakfasts and optional dinners were excellent in freshness, quality, and presentation. If you have preferences, they will do their best to accommodate your wishes.

No negatives.

Great hosts who are willing to help with all questions, superb fresh breakfast with no complaints!

Very friendly and thoughtful hosts, helped us with dinner reservations. Tasty breakfast - especially granola is 10/10. Great location - very convenient to get to Honfleur or Etretat by car, and Courseulles-s/Mer itself super cosy, seaside is in 5 min walk from La Cantellerie.

Great location, very comfortable facilities with superb hosts. Off road parking. Walking distance to many good bars and restaurants. Well recommended.

Nothing, all good

Breakfast was excellent. Fresh and prepared with love and attention. Location is perfect and the building is heritage and impeccably maintained. Could have spent more time just hanging around on the property and soaking up the environment, with wine of course.

From the moment we arrived we had exceptional service. We were given a coffee then our bags were taken to our room (up 2 flights!). Breakfast was delicious - fresh croissants and breads with a variety of home made jams, home made yoghurt and granola, juice and coffee. We were able to walk to the Juno Beach museum and to the beach, port and restaurants. We were given good advice on places to visit - especially the local Friday market. We would love to stay again!

Nothing to dislike - maybe the stairs would be difficult for some, but it does say that in the booking description.
