Ein von einem englischen Paar geführte süße Pension mit einem hervorragenden Frühstück und lokalen Produkten.
Leider war das Bett für uns viel zu schmal und zu kurz und die Matratzen durchgelegen. Darüber hinaus aus war unser Zimmer sehr sehr hellhörig. Aufgrund der super lieben und herzlich Art der Gastgeber und der auf ihre Art wirklich sehr liebevollen Einrichtung hat das Haus schon noch 4 Punkte verdient

We went to the Farmhouse to take a few cooking lessons from David and explore the Normandie area and learn about the D-day invasion. The farmhouse was very quaint and a nice piece of history. David and Alyson were great hosts. Our room was comfortable, very clean and well decorated in a French country motif. The breakfasts were wonderful with a wide assortment of items including some to order items like eggs or waffles. ||We did the two days of cooking with David and it was really fun. He is an excellent chef and a great teacher. The kitchen is well equipped and full of fun decorations and tools as well. The “Everhot” stove is quite impressive and produces a very high heat. The meal selection was really nice with a wide range of items and recipes that we can easily reproduce. One fun thing there was another couple staying that elected to have dinner at the Farmhouse and as it turns out we were cooking their (and our) dinner. They really enjoyed the meals and the great presentations. We even may have created a new oyster lover.||David also took us on a trip to a local Cidery and we had a private tour and tasting. David also showed us around a few of the areas key sites including the American Cemetery and a few other lesser known spots. It was a very fun trip. The next day we went to a local market to pick up items for our menu later that day. The market was amazing and had a wide range of things for sale. We enjoyed a lunch with David and Alyson at a local brewery that featured a charcuterie tray with local cheeses and meats.||The location is very central for exploring the Normandie beaches and battle fields. Our only regret is that we did not stay longer. We will plan another trip back to continue our exploration of Normandie and the surrounding area.

15/10, absolutely amazing. Dave ( ex Army Chef) and Alison have dedicated the last 12+ years in renovating this beautiful farmhouse into an exception B&B, 2 x Doubles , 1 x twin beautifully designed/ decorated, with large modern en-suite’s. There is also a 3 double bed with own en-suite totally self contained Gite with a private patio and coming soon a wood fired Hottub. A reasonable sized supermarket is in the local village. Market day is on a Thursday.|This is approximately a 10 minute drive from Sainte-Met-Eglise a typical rural village but with incredible history as was 1 of the villages that were “part” of the airborne invasion in WW2, to set up the forward positions before the D-day landings. Many memorials and museums within 30/40 drive.|I initially booked for a 3 day cookery course, but added a couple of extra days for tourism. I was lucky as I was the only participant and received a truly unforgettable experience, a 1-on-1 training in classic French cuisine. You think that you are a reasonable home cook until Dave invests his time and experience to show and inspire you to return full of ideas. Daily visits to local producers are included.|I can’t thank both Dave and Alison for their hospitality and assistance, truly outstanding hospitality, well worth booking a course for yourself and friends.

This is the second time I've taken friends to Normandy and we've stayed at the Old Farm. The place is a wonderful step-back-in-time, and the owners Dave and Allison are gracious, friendly, and very knowledgeable of the local area. The next time I'm in Normandy I will definitely stay with them. The only cautionary note is that the narrow, twisting stairs to the upstairs bedrooms can be a bit tricky if you have very large luggage.

My husband and I did a tour of Normandy and wanted a unique experience while there. We reserved the charming “Red Room” and the cooking school. I cannot rave enough about this experience. We had tours from David that went far beyond expectations and his culinary skills are exceptional. Alyson was so friendly and accommodating. Definitely will go back.

Alyson and David, are the most welcoming hosts. On arrival we immediately felt comfortable and settled, nothing was too much trouble.|The rooms are impeccably decorated, with a luxurious feel. The Gitte was very well equipped and comfortably warm.|We travelled as a group for a crafting retreat, hosted by Alyson, the communal sitting room, with a log burning fire was the ideal space to be together learning a new craft.|Breakfast and evening meals were taken in the farmhouse, wonderful food was made by David who is a professional chef, and hosted in a warm and friendly atmosphere.||I would love to return again, perhaps for cooking lessons, or just to enjoy the area of which Alyson and David are very knowledgeable.||I thoroughly recommend this well placed B&B to anyone wanting to travel the Normandy area or book into one of the courses they run.

Words cannot express how wonderful the Old Farm of Amfreville is! David and Allison have created an elegant yet warm space that embraces the location and history. Away from any city lights and noise (only a little traffic on the main road during the day), you will sleep so soundly in the very comfortable beds. And the food! David is an excellent chef with eclectic palate that makes the most of the local produce and meats. Definitely recommend taking one of his cooking classes! David and Allison made me feel like family. Every day was a new adventure based on food, history, and lively conversation!

The Farm at Amfreville is a wonderful place to stay. We did the cooking program and really enjoyed learning some decadent French dishes, then eating them of course! The portions are huge, so you will not go hungry! We visited a local cidery and farm, a farmer’s market, café, caramel factory and D-day sites throughout the week. Breakfast was plentiful and delicious every day – fresh pastries, yogurt and cheese from the farm down the way, eggs and waffles if you please.|David is such a hard worker, he knows a ton about cooking and the history of the area. He’s fun to hang out with, to learn from and is just such a great host along with wife Alyson. They sent us off to Mt Saint Michel with an epic picnic that we were literally eating for the next two days. |The buildings on the property are historic, even with bullet holes from American liberators still on the wall! They do a lovely job of blending the old building with modern amenities. You can watch a line of cows go in and out of pasture every day; the setting is very idyllic. Our room was very spacious and comfortable – got great sleep in the comfy bed. We felt right at home and will be back when we can!

This was a delightful end for our trip to France and, specifically, Normandy. The rooms were spacious and clean, the hosts friendly and helpful, the food delicious, the tours informative (even after 8 previous days in the area), and finally, the cooking lessons were informative, stimulating and delicious. Dave did a great job bringing us into the taste of Normandy. We would highly recommend this visit.

This old farmhouse is full of charm. Upon arrival, we had no idea where to report to. Please get a sign pointing to your entrance. Our Garden Room was spacious and well appointed. Allyson and David are friendly and approachable. |The first night there we had one of David’s splendid meals, that are excellent value. Breakfasts have an excellent array of Continental meats, cheeses, baked goods etcetera. If that is not your thing eggs or waffles are available, cooked to order. We can recommend the scrambled eggs.|The visitors who attended David’s cookery courses seemed to have a great time.

Toda nossa experiência aqui foi excepcional, desde a recepção extremamente acolhedora, o conforto do quarto, a delicadeza da decoração, o café da manhã delicioso (tudo muito fresco, muitas coisas feitas no próprio local), além de estar em um local tranquilo com vista maravilhosa. Tivemos a sensação de estarmos em casa! Super recomendamos e esperamos voltar!

We visited the farm for 3 nights for a cookery class.
The place is really charming, you can feel all the effort the owners put into there.
David and Alison gave us a very warm welcome and were always happy to help.
The room was spotlessly clean, comfortable with a spacious bathroom.
The food David cooked was wonderful and plenty.
Really enjoyed the cooking class, learned quiet a few new things, David’s instructions were clear and helpful. He was also very patient :)
He has a vast knowledge about the culinary world and the WWII, and told us lots of fascinating stuff.
All in all we had a great experience, strongly recommend the place both for the cooking course and just to stay.

Cannot say enough great things about this place! Shabby chic decor and beautiful attention to detail. The beds are comfy, the bathroom is spacious with bathrobes provided. They provide lovely touches like a bottle of wine and Aly's handmade soap. David's cooking is divine - absolutely superb and lovely presentation. It is conveniently located to all the historic sites. Highly recommend!

Eigentlich sollte man keine Geheimtipps posten, damit sie das auch bleiben.
Liebevoll gestaltetes Lebensprojekt eines britischen Ehepaars. Er kennt den D-Day auswendig und ist ein sehr guter Koch. Sie gestaltet die Zimmer und die Atmosphäre ganz zauberhaft.
Der Urlaub beginnt, wenn man durch die Tür kommt. Es sei denn, man will mit dem D-Day wirklich nichts zu tun haben.

Nous venons de rentrer d'un merveilleux séjour et d'un cours de cuisine dans la vieille ferme. La ferme est magnifiquement restaurée avec de beaux meubles et un véritable œil pour les détails intéressants. Les lits étaient très confortables et le logement dispose de salles de bains exceptionnellement grandes et élégantes. La nourriture était abondante et incroyable; en particulier, il est clair que Dave aime s'approvisionner en produits locaux de haute qualité. Nous avons apprécié les voyages au marché et à la cidrerie et nous nous sommes éclatés sur le cours de cuisine, en apprenant de nouveaux goûts et saveurs (et l'importance de mesurer et de présenter les choses correctement) dans une atmosphère détendue et confortable. En fait, Dave et Alison étaient si généreux à tous égards - avec leur temps, avec la planification des voyages et des repas, avec tant de petites attentions accueillantes et avec leur souci de faire passer le meilleur moment possible à leurs invités. Nous recommandons chaleureusement la Vieille Ferme.

Des hôtes incroyables, extrêmement sympathiques, le cours de cuisine était amusant et une excellente expérience pratique. Toute la nourriture était exceptionnelle, très variée et délicieuse ! Visites locales intéressantes, et si vous souhaitez explorer les sites WWll, l'hôte est une excellente source d'informations étant un passionné militaire (vétéran). Je recommande vivement La Vieille Ferme d'Amfreville.

Nous avons passé un séjour très agréable ici pendant l'été 2022. Le chalet a tout ce dont vous avez besoin et bien plus encore. Que diriez-vous d'une Wii, de livres, de jeux de société et d'un canapé très très confortable. Nous ne pensions pas qu'il serait possible de passer un bel été en Normandie sans séjourner au Château Monfreville avec Paul et Zoé. Nous avions tort. Merci pour un agréable moment.

L'endroit est fantastique, Dave et Alyson étaient si accueillants, nous avons fait allumer un feu pour notre arrivée dans le magnifique gîte. La zone environnante est pleine d'histoire du jour J qui était facilement accessible. Dave nous a donné des cartes et nous avons marché presque tous les jours, la ferme elle-même a joué son rôle dans la bataille du pont de la Fiere. Le petit déjeuner était délicieux et nous a préparé pour la journée. Nous avons dîné tous les soirs, tout ce que je peux dire, c'est que la nourriture était excellente, Dave est un chef incroyable, la meilleure nourriture que nous ayons mangée en France, toute l'expérience nous a donné les meilleures vacances de notre vie, le service client était fantastique. Nous venons de rentrer de notre troisième séjour dans l'ancienne ferme et avons passé une semaine merveilleuse pendant les vacances du Nouvel An. La chambre rouge était magnifique, le lit était très confortable et la vue magnifique depuis la baignoire sur les champs. Comme toujours, Alyson et Dave étaient des hôtes formidables et la nourriture était incroyable. La Normandie a tellement de beaux endroits à visiter que nous aimons marcher sur les plages et l'histoire, visitées plusieurs fois mais trouvons de nouveaux endroits à visiter. Nous avons passé un tel moment de détente à réserver pour revenir à Pâques et amener notre fille à profiter de la nourriture.
