A Parisian colleague booked rooms for us at this chateau while we were working in Normandy and I couldn't have been more happy with the accommodations. The rooms are gorgeous and each one has its own unique character. The grounds are beautiful and open for walks and exploration. The owner, Simon, and his staff were very welcoming and they speak...

We recently spent four wonderful days in Normandy and truly enjoyed our stay at Chateau de L'Isle-Marie. Simon, the proprietor, made every effort to ensure that our stay was comfortable and helped plan experiences custom-tailored to our interests. We especially enjoyed the dinner that he hosted in the old Chateau, with a roaring fire in the huge fireplace, following a... More

Originally booked to stay in Chateau De Pont-Rilly, but they double booked their accommodation and L'Isle Marie was offered as a last minute alternative. A stroke of luck. Stayed in an apartment - be prepared for the quiet (no tv, radio, internet, etc.), Perfect setting. Communal dinner in old chateau was a treat. Lecture about the history of the family... More

While touring France in July 2011 with two teenage granddaughters, we were fortunate to stay in this gem of a chateau for two nights. The location was perfect for touring Normandy, both the ancient French historical sights including the Bayeau Tapestry and more recent WWII sights including St. Mere Eglise, the Normandy beaches and the American Cemetery. The chateau has... More

We arrived at the front door to be greeted by a lovely woman (Dorothea) and a very nice man (Simon) who welcomed us with open-arms and a big smiles. The decor in this chateau was exquisite. Every detail and furnishing... More

All the reviews speak for themselves. This is truly a wonderful place to escape to. Quiet, secluded, almost a fairy tale mystique. And yet you’re so close to many, many great day out destinations around Normandy. The moment you step through the door you are in no doubt you are in France. The decor, the furniture, the ambience screams French... More

We stayed in this idealic chateau on Easter weekend. The manor house, three bedroom apartment was perfectly suited for our family of 5 and accompanying grandparents. It was impeccably maintained and beautifully decorated. Dorathea was a gracious and delightful hostess and her restaurant recommendations were spot on. I second all of the positive comments that have preceeded mine. The chateau... More
