Another great holiday 31 October 2011 cambswonderers Once again we enjoyed staying at La Basse Cour.

Most relaxing B&B ever 17 July 2011 Chris_Carpenter65 We stayed at La Basse Cour for one night on our way south from Calais and two nights on our way back a week later.

A time to reflect Jun 5, 2010 Marquette, Michigan We came to this part of France to further explore our genealogy. Our experience at La Basse Cour with its warm hosts, sparkling bathrooms, French country (authentic) bedrooms, beautiful gardens and pond with wildlife made us wonder why they left for the wilds of Canada nearly 400 years earlier! La Basse Cour ...

Outstanding countryside Jun 3, 2010 Grand Blanc, Mi We picked this bed and breakfast to stay while researching the area that our ancestors emigrated from.

The garden surrounding the house was spectacular, the breafast wonderful ...

A perfect place ... value for money and service/welcome Apr 27, 2010 Malmesbury, United Kingdom We are often looking for a first or last night stop en route to the ferry at Caen and this location and the quality of the welcome and service from the Grahams was just superb.

Can't wait to go back.. again June 1, 2009 LorisT, Northampton We have been going to the Le Mans Moto GP for the last four years and the thing that keeps us returning to the same race is the quality of the accomodation, which is without doubt the best B+B I have had the pleasure of staying in ...

Perfect mid travel stop to the Dordogne Mar 2, 2009 A TripAdvisor Member, Dordogne, France I selected La Basse Cour from Google search after viewing several others because of its location and friendly ease of website.
