Located in the national park at the base of the Cotentin Peninsular near Isigny sur Mer is the delightful Chateau de Monfreville.
Home to Paul & Zoe and their family who look after all visitors with an informal enthusiasm, kindness and unremitting good humour.
The grounds, populated by ducks, geese, hens a variety of wildlife and chickens, plus the ever hungry Labrador Hector, provide organic vegetables for one and all.
You can stay in the Chateau itself or in one of their gites, roulettes or camp in it’s grounds overlooking the national park all within easy reach of Bayeux, the D Day beaches, Mont St Michel and the Normandy coast and countryside.
Staying at the chateau is a unique and totally relaxed experience – just how holidays used to be – families will love it.

A chance to stay in the safari park. From the balcony watch the exotic animals and sunset over the lake (with a glass of wine) while the children/friends interact with free-roaming deer and wallabies. The gibbons, rhinos and antelope enclosures are just a few meters away and for an extra 69euro per group of six you can get a behind-the-scenes tour to get a bit closer to the animals. You can also book workshops and outings (children 5/adults 10 euro), going though the Cerza woods at night which is particularly scary.
All materials used to make the lodges are eco-friendly and they are equipped with the usual mod-cons.
A couple of nights here was a great way to break up the visits to the castles, cheese farms and galleries.
