What a fantastic find, a true hidden gem. We only stayed for one night on our way back to Cherbourg and what a fantastic end to the holiday it was. Damian and Steve couldn't do enough for us, even finding chocolate cereals for one of our little girls. Would definitely recommend this place, and would definitely recommend booking for a... more

This was our first visit to France.We wasn,t sure what to expect but after reading the reviews on tripadvisor La Mare palu sounded just the ticket! Damien and Steve were perfect hosts,they answered all of my many questions!Nothing was to much trouble.The breakfast and evening meals(sat/sun) were top notch plus the sitting around the table with the other guests gave... more

The challenge we had staying at La Mare Palu was that it was so relaxing we kept sleeping in each day, hours later than what we are used to at home. Take an alarm clock! The B&B is in a good location with all the major tourist destinations a short jaunt away. We really enjoyed the morning breakfast (included!) which... more

If you follow directions to the letter, you can find this place easily. Lovely garden, comfortable accomodations, great breakfast, welcoming hosts, very reasonable price--what else could you ask for? Would highly recommend anytime to anyone. more

We booked via their web page and had some difficulty getting through due to spam filters..but no worry, Damien called me directly the same day. Wow. The location is central to most of the great Normandy attractions, although, there's not much to do... more

This B&B was PERFECT! Damian and Steve are warm, friendly and very knowledgeable. The house is beautiful and welcoming... our room was spacious, very tastefully decorated and clean... breakfast was delicious. I regret that I only found out they will also provide dinner after we stayed there, since I'm sure whatever they prepared would have been fantastic. The location is... more

La Mare Palu is set in beaultiful French countryside which is easy to find but sufficiently off the beaten track to make it an adventure. The warm welcome by Steve and Damian instantly makes you feel at ease. Nothing is too much trouble. Cosy log fires in the evening with good company prepare you for a peaceful night's sleep in... more
