Castle holiday rentals in Lower Normandy

Ideal stay for two families with children able to share bunk beds. No wifi, but we are not at Beaumesnil castle to spend your time on the web. The real interest of this cottage that remains expensive is the access to the castle park which is most of the time closed: a door to the cottage overlooks the interior of the castle, with an access in a huge garden full of farm animals, a paradise for kids, peacocking, geese, sheep, ducks, ducks, goats, pony. We were even able to visit the Chateau de Beaumesnil for free, the drawbridge was down. The heater works perfectly. Only Repproche: a corkscrew was missing… and that… would almost deserve a star less haha. Dear, but EXCELLENT VALUE for MONEY for families with children between 5-12 years old, especially to discover the countryside. Very proactive, nice hosts, hosting the castle in support. Super flexible check-in and checkout. (we left around 5pm) Congrats!!!

Very well located, comfortable for 2 and well equipped, very friendly hosts! 100% would book again

Perfect weekend with friends at the Miserai. The Chateau is very pleasant despite the weekend temperatures (-8 per night!). The hunting room was perfect for hosting the anniversary of the weekend! Celine recommended a good catering address to us and it was very convenient. The brewery on the estate is not to be missed.

Staying in Stephanie and her family’s Chateau de Tocqueville was absolutely a five star experience to us. We spent three night here in the castle but found it’s absolutely not enough to experience the property. We could utilize four floors with five stylish bedrooms and a fully equipped kitchen and salon on the ground floor plus the pond, tennis court, biking area…and more. It’s a perfect place to spend a few days or weeks. We spent a few hours to read Alexi de Tocqueville’s books (but only finished one fifth of the book) in the place where he wrote the book, the feeling was so special and we felt like becoming the witness to the history.

Our stay at Chateau Le Mont Epinguet surpassed all of our expectations-- it's truly beautiful and Fiona and Mark are beyond friendly. We went as a group of 18 and still found the house incredibly spacious-- you'll never be on top of one another! The gardens outside are lovely and provide lots of spots for sunbathing/reading (and so spacious we even got in a game of rounders). The kitchen has as much crockery as you might ever desire; there are several excellent and large supermarkets within a 15 minute drive (better quality produce and more economical than any British supermarket). Above all-- I cannot express the warmth and kindness of Mark and Fiona-- they're exceptional hosts who attended to any queries we had and provided a wealth of excellent beach & restaurant recommendations. A beautiful chateau, a wonderful (eccentric) interior, with lovely gardens (esp. the palm trees), and great for friends who wish to spend some time stuck together.

Beautifully located, very friendly host and hostess. Large areas available, well planned apartment and access to patio and garden. Avoidable!

We had a great time at the Château de la Flotte. The accommodation is true to the photos, beautiful, clean, very spacious and well maintained. Marina shared clear information with us on arrival and was very responsive to our questions before/during the stay. I would highly recommend it.

We had a lovely stay at Monique's, discovering Cotentin. The accommodation is in a peaceful place where it's nice to enjoy the terrace. Everything was very clean.

It doesn't get better than this. Absolutely incredible. Latour is super friendly and helps with everything. The castle is gorgeous and flawlessly renovated. Wonderful rural location with a small town surrounding it. So full of history, it's a once in a lifetime experience. Absolutely loved it.

The cottage is part of the castle. The site is beautiful, very quiet with a huge park. Great for a large family.

We had a wonderful stay at the Chateau to celebrate the New Year. You really have to see it to believe how charming this Chateau is - our children wanted to stay there forever! It’s totally unique and a truly great experience. Nina and her Father were the perfect hosts - helpful with all of our questions and providing great recommendations for what to see and do in the area. We wish we could have had more time there!

“Firstly, Xavier was the consummate host - communicative, helpful, and friendly. When two of our guests weren’t feeling well, he was especially attentive and considerate, offering assistance with great care. The property and our stay were wonderful. The castle is just as described, if not better - it feels both cozy and expansive at the same time. It is warm and welcoming, and the surrounding village is charming. Plus, there are plenty of unique sites and places to explore within a 15–20 minute drive. For a relaxing and special experience, Xavier’s place was perfect.”

The chateau was everything we thought it would be from the moment we drove through the gate. The serene setting was welcoming and inviting. The gardens and landscaping were lush and picturesque. Upon entering the front door, we felt like we’d been transported to the 16th century. Wood floors, flowing draperies and richly colored walls all add to the general ambiance. There are numerous bedrooms from which to choose, playrooms for children, spacious living and dining rooms and a kitchen meant for gathering. The kitchen is well stocked and the fireplace warms the rooms and its inhabitants. The two outdoor tables provide opportunities to enjoy the setting while sipping wine or eating a meal, Marc was very accommodating. He offered suggestion for things to do and places to shop in Sartilly.

Very pleasant and responsive host. The listing is functional, close to Honfleur and as described. We had a pleasant stay in this apartment, I recommend it.

Beautiful home in the French countryside perfect for a large family getaway. We had a wonderful time with 7 adults and 4 kids swimming in the pool, cooking out, and playing cards all night in the large dining room. It is convenient to D-Day beaches and a cute little spot nearby along a river with nice restaurants.

Clean, quiet and complete Airbnb, thank you.

What a wonderful and underrated spot. Firstly, Wilfrid was an amazing host. Always available, very attentive, and Gallic hospitality at its best. He was extremely flexible in all aspects (from check-in, use of spa, and time to eat breakfast). We mistakenly slept in one morning and we were able to eat a proper breakfast at 1130. Extremely clean and a serene environment. A very immersive Normandy experience. The house is very old but fully renovated as it is a passion project for Wilfrid who has spent generations in the house.

🌟 5/5 - A perfect weekend in an exceptional place! We had an absolutely awesome weekend at this beautiful Airbnb. The accommodation is spacious, very well decorated and perfectly equipped. The pool was a real delight, especially with the nice weather we had, and the barbecue area greatly contributed to the friendly atmosphere of our stay. Small downside: the road to access the accommodation was not easy to find at the start, and a light bulb and showerhead were no longer working when we arrived. Luckily, the concierge was very responsive, available and super flexible — everything was fixed quickly! Cleanliness was correct, and communication with hosts was smooth and enjoyable from start to finish. A big thank you again for this beautiful parenthesis. We'll be happy to go back!
