Nature and surroundings

Our bed-and-breakfast is located on a site designated as a historic monument, away from the hustle and bustle of the city of Lisieux. It is adjacent to the splendid Château de Saint-Germain-de-Livet and the Abbé Marie Botanical Garden. With no buildings directly across from it, the park is home to more than 100 species of flowers that you can admire to the sound of the waterfalls along the Lecange stream. A postcard-perfect setting awaits you. During breakfast, served in the lounge, you can savor homemade jams made from fruits grown in the orchard and garden (raspberries, apples, blackberries, rhubarb). Recycling Riding our GIANT bikes or TT ZOSH electric scooters (available for rent), you can admire and enjoy all that nature and the people of the Pays d’Auge have to offer. We can accompany you or provide you with GPX-format routes so you can explore the trails and discover our cultural and culinary heritage around Lisieux, Orbec, and Livarot.

    Beautiful location and surroundings

    Nature, peace & environment: 4 /5

    We received a very warm welcome, including a general tour of the house and garden, plus a welcome drink. Our questions were always answered kindly. A guided tour on electric scooters through these houses, led by the host, is highly recommended. Beautiful surroundings and location.

    We are people in our 80s. We had to wash ourselves in a small bathtub. Getting in and out was a real hassle.
    There were paths in the garden that were impassable for our friends. To get outside, we had to go through our friends’ bedroom. Barbecuing in the garden wasn’t allowed because that would mean having to wash the utensils in the bathroom. We found that to be quite a few inconveniences.
    We definitely wouldn’t have booked this place if we’d known all of this beforehand. The B&B was fine, but it was very unclear that there wasn’t a single spot in the house where we could relax and unwind a bit. We don’t think that’s right.
    Upon arrival, it was also quite clear that we weren’t supposed to complain about anything because it was a B&B and that’s just how it is. Our experience with B&Bs is different, in our opinion.
    Again, we had a wonderful vacation, thanks to the beautiful weather and our flexible attitude.
    Perhaps you could be a bit clearer in the description, especially when it comes to our target audience.

    Landlord’s response:
    We’re sorry and surprised by your comments. Your dissatisfaction is likely due to a misunderstanding regarding your reservation. You thought you would be renting the entire house (bedrooms, kitchen, living room), whereas the reservation was for two rooms in a B&B with breakfast included.

    We are always happy to listen to our guests to ensure their stay is as pleasant as possible (we set up a second patio set for you that is accessible next to the private terrace; you did not use all the amenities that were at your disposal), but above all, you did not inform us of your requests or complaints.
    That’s a real shame!

    Nature, peace & environment: 5 /5

    We had a wonderful week with our friends. The house was beautiful, the garden was unique, and the surroundings were exceptionally beautiful. Still, we feel we must share a few comments:

    We knew it was a B&B, but the description dated 9/9/25 made absolutely no mention of the fact that there was no space in the rooms themselves to play a game together or read a book. The room where breakfast was served wasn’t suitable for that either, since it was the host’s living room.
    We had a week of beautiful weather and were able to do everything outdoors, but what would we have done if the weather had been bad? We really have no idea.
    We rented a three-bedroom house from you that was supposed to accommodate six people. The third bedroom was locked, so we had to store all our suitcases and other belongings in our bedroom.

    Nice quiet garden, very friendly hosts and excellent breakfast. We just had to get used to the fact that there was no door between the bedroom and the bathroom so it was quite intimate.

    Nature, peace & environment: 4 /5

    Lots of peace and quiet. Quiet and dark at night. Near a beautiful castle, which is quite crowded during the day, but also has a quiet and friendly atmosphere.

The host indicates that the area is firework-free. Firework-free means that no firework bangs can be heard in and around the accommodation. You might occasionally hear some noise or see some light from fireworks set off outside the immediate area. It is important that you agree with the landlord on what you can expect.
