Le Manoir de Crépon

Mme Poisson is a wonderful woman. The rooms are all different, spacious and beautifully decorated. A throwback to a different time. Small gorgeous town. My favorite stay during over a month plus of travel.

It was such a shame after looking forward to our stay to find the room didn’t quite meet our expectations. We had booked for 2 nights but only stayed for 1. There needed to be a proper clean of the room. Spiders covered the mantelpiece and cobwebs were around the canopy. The bathroom shower sealant was mouldy and most of the furniture was unsuitable. On the plus side the lady owner was delightful. She helped me with my bags and was great about us moving to another town. I felt the drapes and bedcover and banquet were all beautifully done and made the room look lovely - it was on closer inspection that renovations and effort on the detail could be improved and make a big difference. Crepon is a lovely village and we had a great walk around with a very friendly welcome at the bar/tabac.

Such a lovely stay for 5 nights at this amazing place. Anne-Marie Poisson took good care of us. Lovely house, loveley village, lots of history. Higly rekommend this beutilful place to stay. Could not have a better stay. We also hade our dog with us. Ann-Catrine, Clas and the dog "Pepsi" /Sweden

We were travelling with our dog which was the main reason we chose this hotel, he was able to run freely in the self contained grounds. However were we to revisit the area without the dog we would still choose to stay here. The building is a wonderful old manor house with a rich and varied history. Anne-Marie, the land lady, is charming and her home made preserves at breakfast are superb. Some people may find the rooms a little dated but they are a good size and in keeping with the character of the house

A must stay, period. You are visiting the Normandy area because of the invasion. This small French Village manor house, not in the immediate beach area was occupied pre-invasion by the Germans. With its antiques and a delightful older host, you get a full sense of what it must have been like living there in the 1940’s. Convenient to all of the beaches by car, a wonderful little antique shop on the grounds, the most memorable stay of our month long slow travel in France. Don’t do a group travel if you can rent a car, you can find a guide for a day. A powerful experience.

It was amazing, like stepping back in time to the 17th century with all of the elegance and décor Of that period.! Much of the house was as it was 300 yrs ago and what it lacked in modern conveniences, it made up for in grace and beauty! Madame Poisson was such a gracious host - tending to every need, preparing a wonderful breakfast on our time schedule with the delicious jams you probably already heard of, and the fresh bread and croissants that she picked up every morning for us. She was funny, engaging, helpful, and so patient with our bad attempts at French! We came to Normandy to learn more about D-Day and the days that followed. We did that, and we also experienced the gracious hospitality of the French people like Madame Poisson! Although we probably will not get a chance to come this way again, we would highly recommend Le Manoir du Crepon to anyone who wants to get away from the crowds of Paris and experience the peaceful, historic French countryside! Thank you, Ann Marie, for making our vacation such a wonderful experience!

Lovely owner and historic manoir.
