The gates glide open to a gravelled sweep and a tree'd lawn, with an old stone cider press to the side. Elegant, compassionate Isabelle looks after house, garden, guests – and rescue cats and horses – with warmth and charm; Philippe, a friendly GP, fills the game larder. The barn houses two bedrooms plus a delightful family suite under the rafters (up a steep private stair) and a cosy guest sitting room with a bar. Rooms have pretty striped wallpapers, seagrass floors and elegant Louis XV-style chairs, quirky objets on shelves and in crannies, beds dressed with white heirloom spreads. Vivacious, bustling Caen is an easy drive.

Guest feedback
"Many places call themselves special but this one really deserves the name. Madame is absolutely charming, elegant and generous. We booked the family room and it was super comfortable. She also thoughtfully had bottled water and cold beers in the fridge which were all complimentary. The place itself is absolutely beautiful. The breakfast was absolutely fantastic with everything you could possibly want to eat on the table and lots of it. Very reasonable price.
The place is quite rural so don't arrive hungry as there is nowhere to eat locally.
I feel so lucky to have found this place! GO!"

"Perfect stay in a stunning location. Isabelle is delightful and made us feel totally relaxed in her gorgeous home. The kids loved playing in the garden and we loved our time there. So convenient for the ferry at Caen that we stayed again on the way back home. Thoroughly recommend staying here. "

"A wonderful welcome with tea and the most beautiful pear flan. Lovely room in a tranquil setting. Breakfast was a veritable feast. Isabelle is a charming host and nothing is too much trouble. Added to all this, it is extremely good value for money too! We will be back next time we travel to France"

"Isabelle provided the perfect end to our stay in France this year! The farmhouse is calm and quiet and we were welcomed with home made cake and tea on a golden Autumn afternoon. The rooms are fresh, spacious and extremely comfortable and we enjoyed an excellent breakfast at an unsociable hour (the early ferry from Caen) - way beyond the duty of most hosts! We will definitely return and enjoy a corner of France most of us are racing through to reach other regions. I recommend anyone to stay here but longer than one night - savour the gentle charm of Normandy and enjoy this lovely farmhouse. "

"Absolutely fabulous. Our host welcomed us cheerily with a coffee and cake reception. Isabelle could not have been more helpful - she recommended a restaurant locally and reserved us a table, our room was clean, well-equipped and spacious with a lovely view. It was perfect for our daughter (aged 1) as it had a kitchenette, so we were able to heat some food for her. Breakfast was plentiful and delicious - local produce and fresh coffee, fruit, pastries, juice, jams. A high chair was provided for the baby. We were sent off with a bottle of local cider. We shall recommend! Thank you!"

"A lovely stone farmhouse with attached converted stable. Isabelle provided a warm reception, good conversation and a brilliant breakfast. A genuine interest in the guest and one of the best experiences in 40 years of travelling to France!"

"We have stayed here twice, each time on the way down to Spain after catching the afternoon ferry from Portsmouth to Caen. This is a truly excellent B+B, Isabelle is delightful, the room we had is the size of a small apartment, the breakfast is superb. 10/10!!"

"A splendid place to stay. Lovely bedroom and super breakfast. Isabelle our hostess went out of her way to make our stay most enjoyable even though it was only a one-night stop. We're going back to stay longer next year!"

"This is a beautiful farmhouse with lovely gardens, and our family room was immaculate, and perfect for our needs. There is even a little kitchenette. Isabelle and Phillipe were thoroughly charming, and made us feel so welcome. The children still remember fondly playing on the seesaw, and looking at the budgies! We would recommend it absolutely and without hesitation."

"We have just enjoyed a wonderful break for two nights. The farm is extremely conveniently located for visits to Bayeux, Falaise, Caen & WW2 beaches & memorials, yet located in a peaceful rural setting. Isabelle is a charming & generous hostess. Our room was beautifully appointed, with great attention to detail & the breakfasts delicious. The family did everything in their power to make our stay special."

"We spent one night at Ferme de la Ruette and only wished we could have stayed for longer. Isabelle was an attentive and charming hostess who did her utmost to make our stay memorable. Our room was very tastefully furnished and decorated as was the rest of the farmhouse. After a restful night in our delightful room and a delicious breakfast, we left knowing that we will return in the future."

"My wife and I stayed here for just one night, and can only give huge praise to our hostess Isabelle.
Isabelle was a wonderful hostess - friendly, helpful, attentive yet relaxed. We were made to feel completely at home, and we were only sad we couldn't have stayed longer.
Many thanks for a wonderful stay at your lovely home"
