Be warned, a holiday at The Manoir, is truly a holiday for everyone and the fact that parents can simply relax, with the knowledge that the little ones are happy with so much onsite to play with and explore, plus a delicious meal will be made for you at the end of the day, can make it very very difficult to leave either to explore or to go home! However, for those who can tear themselves away, there are a selection of fun activities for little ones within a hour’s drive including the 'La Ville Enchante", which is great for younger children and close to Mont St Michel (50kms), and La Cite de la Mer - a sophisticated aquarium near Cherbourg (50kms) and a large Zoo with soft play and bouncy castles, near Granville (20kms). The picturesque fortified town of Granville with its pretty buildings, seafood bistros and seaside health spa is well worth a visit itself.
Along with the Bistro onsite, there are a wide selection of bars, restaurants and shops within a 7km radius, along with facilities for golf, fishing, cycling, canoeing, horse-riding and watersports, which are a little further afield at 15kms.
The nearest port is Cherbourg (25mins), whilst Caen is within an hour; Le Havre is around 2.5hrs away and Calais about 4.5hrs. Paris is just 2.5hrs by train and flights from the UK to Cherbourg are offered by flybe.

We had a great week at La Mare Chappey. Our boys (7,4 and 2) loved the play barn, swimming pool, bouncy castle and playing with the other children. The hosts (Audrey and Geoff) were amazing laying on a bbq, pu00e9tanque match and drinks evening.Review dated 01/06/2019
We had a very special week here. We found our boys had a wonderful time making friends and enjoying the amazing facilities, including the pool, playbarn, football field and play park. All of these things meant that Mummy and Daddy had a very relaxing week too! The local beaches are stunning and very quiet and there was lots of do, including Forest Adventure (like Go Ape in the UK) and visits to key World War 2 sites and museums.Review dated 27/07/2018
The facilities available were fantastic and the ability to get great home cooked food delivered to your accommodation in the evening is a huge bonus. We had a great time as did our toddler who is missing her early evening trip to the bouncy castle!Review dated 07/07/2015
This accomodation is ideal for young kids. The gites have everything you could ask for to keep kids (and parents) entertained, and there are so many excursions within a quick drive. We will definitely go back. Thank you, Audrey and Geoff!Review dated 16/08/2012

We originally requested one of the cottages, but all were booked up. Instead we took one of the rooms in the tower (B&B) which was comfortable and very clean, and with the use of a lounge downstairs we were able to escape for a glass or two of wine whilst our son slept peacefully in the room. Audrey and Geoff were lovely hosts, being extremely helpful in suggesting things to do and see during a rather wet week in August. We would definitely go back there: easy to get to, clean, friendly, plenty for kids to do even on rainy days!Review dated 03/11/2009
Audrey the owner is so friendly and helpful - we had a problem with our shower not draining properly and the sky dish not working properly and they fixed them very promptly. The three course meals she cooked for us and brought to our cottage were scrumptious - my cooking seemed rather bland at home afterwards!Review dated 03/11/2009
A fantastic family holiday, lots for the children to do. Beach only 20mins away! Audrey's hospitality was excellent!Review dated 03/11/2009
Audrey made us feel very welcome. The cottage and facilities were perfect for my 2 young children. We used the bistro a couple of times where Audrey brought food over - very nice!Review dated 03/11/2009
We had a lovely holiday and the kids loved the play room, the play equipment and the chickens. The only areas we think could be improved would be providing a bath (rather than a baby bath - a bit difficult for a 3 year old to fit into), a toddler friendly swimming pool and information in the gite including how to work the appliances and giving some guidance to local attractionsReview dated 03/11/2009
We had such a super holiday. Geoff and Audrey are super hosts. The accomodation was flawless and facilities for children second to none.Lots of lovely beaches and facilities within a few miles, too. Can't recommend enoughReview dated 03/11/2009
