Manoir de Surville

This is the nicest hotel we have ever stayed in; Camille and Hughes are fabulous hosts. The room was very comfortable with a terrace, very spacious. The dinner was sublime; we love this hotel. Even though we have to do a detour to get there! it is worth it.

We stayed 5 nights at this beautiful and historic Manoir. Camille and Hugues are excellent hosts, they and their staff looked after us so well. Nothing was too much trouble. The cuisine is outstandingly good, the choice if menu imaginative and well presented. This was our first visit, we will definitely be back

We travelled to Surville as an end destination based just on reviews we’d read here. Even though the reviews were great, it exceeded expectations. It’s hard to describe just how warmly welcoming the proprietors, Camille, Hugues and their delightful children were. It really did feel like staying with friends. The hotel is set in beautiful, thoughtfully laid out grounds. We swam in the warm pool, played badminton, cycled and just enjoyed picnicking in the wild flower meadow. The hosts lent us bikes for some wonderful rural bike rides between medieval villages. The restaurant was central to the experience and we enjoyed high quality, thoughtful cooking. Indeed, my daughter commented that she’d never had such posh food and so many courses! The rooms were simple, immaculate and very comfortable. Everything is of such a high standard and so thoughtful. We will definitely come back as soon as we can!

Camille and Hugues, who own and run Le Manoir have thought of everything. We had the most glorious stay in exceptional surroundings and comfort. It could not have been nicer. Wonderful food and a superb wine list matched by the beautiful buildings, gardens and superb swimming pool.

I wish we had been able to stay longer here than 2 nights. The surroundings were beautiful and with such attention to sustainability. We enjoyed playing croquet (being English!), swimming and having a picnic (made by Camille) in the lovely grounds. The food in teh restaurant was delicious - and the chef and waiting staff were so kind to our youngest who was not feeling great and immediately suggested a very plain meal which they produced for him. We will return for longer and with a less poorly son! Nothing was too much trouble - and the honesty bar (with its huge selection of gin ;-) was a welcome change and gave a homely feel.

What a truly delightful and relaxing experience at Manoir de Surville. From the warmest of welcomes by the owner and his youngest daughter, to the inventive and delicious cuisine, we could not recommend this private, stylish hotel enough. All the team are open and friendly, the heated pool expertly maintained and the private gardens with a natural woodland flower garden beautifully curated. A private spa and adept masseuse, added an extra treat. So many lovely little details to make your stay a bit more special too, with quality bed linen and toiletries, to a fire pit to gaze at the stars after dinner. All set in a tiny village in Normandy but accessible to so many bustling places, make this your home from home. We will return, for sure. AJ
