Well located for exploring the Normandy coast, Graham and Caroline run a welcoming and comfortable guest house. The rooms are well appointed with good en suite facilities. Meals were excellent and generously portioned, and the wine just didn't stop flowing! Guests are given free run of a large purpose built guest 'wing', with TV, Wifi and tea & coffee making facilities. There's even a pool table, if you fancy some exercise after dinner.
Highly recommended, we'll certainly return whenever we're in the area again.

If you are looking for the ideal place to see both the Omaha beaches, the American cemetery and the stunning town of Mont. St. Michel this is it. You have the run of half this charming converted farmhouse . The owners Graham and Caroline make you feel quite at home and the services they provide are fabulous. Have the home cooked meals they offer, it is worth it and they are very generous and thoughtful about your tastes and likes. The accommodation is clean and charming with views of the countryside all around you. The bed is comfortable and there is a large ensuite. They have thought of your every need with coffee and tea ready when you are. This is well worth the money and we would stay there again for sure.

We have just returned from staying with Graeme and Caroline. They have etablished an amazing B&B in a tranquil relaxing setting, and it is in a great location for touring Normandy.

The Magnolias is immaculate and their service is the best we have ever encountered. Would thoroughly recommend this place and would love to return again. It is the kind of place where you could happily spend time just relaxing on the property and enjoying the hospitality.

The cooking is also the best we have encountered anywhere in France.

Our family spent 3 wonderful nights with Graham and Caroline in their beautiful Bed & Breakfast. I found their site while browsing the internet for lodgings in the area. It seemed too good to be true, but it was all we anticipated and far more. There were 5 of us, 2 adult children and the parents. We knew we'd made a good choice when Graham and Caroline welcomed us at the door, and from there they were not only the consummate host and hostess, but they became friends. The physical surroundings were wonderful - peaceful countryside and wonderful accomodations - spacious and well-appointed bedrooms, comfortable beds, and huge bathrooms - quite a contrast to the usual small European hotel rooms. We could have had complete privacy, as we had our own wing of their renovated farmhouse - a family room with a bar and pool table, kitchenette where we could help ourselves, and a lovely dining room. But the charm of this bed & breakfast were Graham and Caroline and their wonderful personalities. Their location is central to the sights of Normandy - we enjoyed Mont St. Michel, the Isle of Jersey, and of course the D-Day beaches. Graham and Caroline had maps and brochures for every possible attraction. How lovely it was to return at night and be greeted by our new friends. We so enjoyed sharing our adventures over beer and liqueurs. In the morning the table was set with still-warm croissants from the bakery, butter, fresh fruit, jam, yogurt, juice, and a full pot of delicious coffee and water ready for tea. Bidding farewell on our last morning was very difficult. We will definitely return when next in the area and will highly recommend this beautiful place to anyone traveling to Normandy. .

We had a very relaxing & stress free 5 day stay with Graham & Caroline. The farmhouse has been renovated beautifully & is in a fantastic setting. Nothing was too much for our hosts & we were served lovely home cooked food every day & the wine & brandy flowed. Definately would go back again.

We have just returned from a 4 day stay at The Magnolias. We are a 50+ married couple and were looking for a restful break in pleasant surroundings. The Magnolias is the result of a 6 year project by Graham and Caroline and they have certaily come up with the goods. The decor and furnishings are of the highest order and the building has been superbly finished. Excellent bathroom, shower and bedroom. We booked in for B & B and found everything organised and relaxed.The establishment has been very tastefully converted from a working farm to a very comfortable and attractive place to stay. The hosts were very helpful and sociable!! Nothing was too much bother and we were given good advice on the local interests and value for money eating houses. Handily situated within an hour of most of The Cherbourg Peninsular attractions. We visited the D Day beaches and Museums plus had a delightful day in Bayeux viewing the sights and of course the famous Tapestry. If you are looking for top notch value for money, look no further than the Magnolias.

I never knew Normandy had so much to offer and the comfort and relaxation we experienced at Magnolias just added the icing to the cake.

This B&B is well located for touring the area, its near some great beaches, towns, attractions and restaurants.
It was terrific to wake up each morning to such lovely countryside views.

The service and the food at this B&B is first class and thoroughly recommended for a peaceful getaway from it all!
