My husband and I stayed here before sailing the following day from Cherbourg. It was lovely, hugely welcoming and we were sorry to be only staying one night. We will be returning soon for a longer stay. The rooms were beautiful and the hosts charming.

As the organizer for a group of 21 family and friends, all very experienced international travelers, I felt some pressure in booking the Chateau as well as the Manior...and, the bottom line is our week at Isle-Marie exceeded all of our expectations. Isle-Marie is a beautiful property with exquisite accommodations and a wonderful location. We were interested in biking Normandy... More

What a fantastic weekend away in a superbly renovated Chateau only 45 minutes from Cherbourg. I wanted something special for our wedding anniversary and this surpassed all of my expectations. Told my wife that "I have just booked a little B&B I hope its OK?" Imagine her surprise when I turned into the tree lined drive and ended up parked... More

Just spent 5 wonderful days at this "hide away" chateau in the heart of Normandy. Close to all area attractions, this is the best way to experience all that is Normandy France. Simon is an accommodating host who made our time there unforgettable and the rooms are just perfect. Add to this the "5 star food" and the picture perfect... More

What a stunning chateau. Long driveway in - then wow!!!!! Superbly furnished. All bedrooms have a four poster and the rooms are very large. No TV but who cares when you stay here. Owner very welcoming. Set in over 100 acres. Very good price - considering the setting, and the stunning building and rooms.

I have been to Normandy 6 times and this is the loveliest place I have ever stayed. Simon and Dorethea are fabulous host and always available to answer questions and to offer a multitude of ideas for places to go. The property is clean the food is fresh and I would;nt stay any where else other than this historical fairy... More

what a great place, excellent location in the middle of the airborne landing sites. Very close to utah beach yet very isolated out in the country. We had the family suite. I highly recommend eating dinner there on one of the nights, one of the best meals of our trip. Dorothea the hostess was so kind and told us the... More

I wish I could express more enthusiasm for the Chateau de l'Isle Marie because Dorothea was quite gracious to us; however, I would hope that other chateaux might be a more delightful experience. We were "greeted" on our arrival by Simon who told us straight away there was no one to assist us with taking our baggage up the narrow,... More

as soon as you arrive on the grounds of the chateau, it is as if you just entered the past. The chateau is stunning. Don't expect luxury in the rooms: no phone, no television, cellphone reach almost non existing. The absence of luxury is luxury. I am a M.D. myself so not a true believer, but if there are positive... More
