A relaxed retreat in the Normandy hills, with dreamy gardens and a lake you may fish. Don't miss sociable dinners around the big table

Read guest comments

Guests return because it's fun to stay here with easy-going Clive at the helm - and a long sociable table for delicious dinners. Perhaps pear and Roquefort tartelette, followed by duck breast and seasonal veggies. Breakfast is a generous spread of pastries, charcuterie, yogurt and fresh fruit in a room off the salon, your host has the fire crackling if its chilly.

Clive has been here since the 1990s and has cleverly renovated this 18th-century farmhouse into a comfortable home. Every feature conveys the creativity of your British host: exposed stone walls; an old manger, now a wine rack; a chimney built from 4,500 bricks.

Deeply comfortable bedrooms have hand-sewn fabrics and fine French antiques. Fish in the wooded grounds; join the ancient pilgrims' walk to Mont St Michel; go canoeing in nearby Thury-Harcourt.

"Just fabulous. Clive (the owner/chef) has created a truly lovely, comfortable, elegant and very special B&B. Huge rooms, all tastefully decorated. A vast main reception lounge, lovely gardens and so on. Clive is a terrific chef too, and his dinner (with good wine) is well worth having....as good as most 'top' French restaurants. Le Gaudin is also as short drive to the coast, ferries etc. Highly recommended, and my advice is book it!"

"We stayed at Le Gaudin during the 72nd Anniversary of D-Day. Clive (the owner) was a phenomenal resource for history and site recommendations. The B&B is a very charming place with a historical past. We highly recommend Clive's cooking. He is an amazing cook and it was by far the best meal we had during our 2 1/2 week trek around Europe. Our stay at Le Gaudin was definitely a highlight of our trip!"

"What a delightful place to stay. It came with a personal recommendation (up to now we hadn't heard of Alastair Sawday - but we now do!!)Clive is the most galant host, fabulous chef and provides the wine bargin of the century. Stay there and enjoy the lovely hospitality to the full. Also met some interesting people around the dinner table. We certainly would go again."
