Paul, Claire & Baby Ruby - “Delightful home from home.”
5 star review 22nd July, 2011 pending on TRIP ADVISOR
“It’s difficult to find a good B & B in the Le Mans area so we were overjoyed when we discovered this hidden gem. We stayed at La Cesnerie for one night to break the journey between the Dordogne and Le Havre.
Annette has a corner of paradise but also a labour of love. She’s slowly transforming a previously dilapidated country house into a haven of peace, comfort and tranquility. Some of the guest areas are a work in progress but our bedroom was fresh & super comfortable with an immaculate bathroom (and unbelievable water pressure!). Annette makes this place truly special though - from a nice cup of tea & biscuits offered on arrival to the superb and generous (highly recommended!) dinner. She is the perfect host, like staying with an easy going family member! Make sure you take up her offer of eggs in the morning if available, her happy hens provide a delicious breakfast.
A great place for a restful stopover or to explore Normandy for a relaxing weekend.”
On a property buying trip to the Pays de la Loire, Peter and Lynn stayed with us in June and said:
“We had a fabulous time with Annette and Rick who were great hosts. We decided to have the evening meal option where we enjoyed great food, wine and ambience. We can't wait to return in August. Thank you both.”
George and Jane en route to the Dordogne:
“A really pretty place. We loved our room, so comfortable and quiet, really quite luxurious for a rural B & B. The food was delicious and fantastic value for money. Rick and Annette are interesting and generous hosts. Highly recommended.”
The Haldenby family:
“Thanks very much for a very enjoyable stay - we loved the house, the food and the wildlife! it made a really great and memorable end to our holiday.”
