Lovely, quiet chambres d'hôtes near Alençon. Very friendly, warm and caring owner. Excellent beds and a tasteful breakfast. Don't look any further if you need a quiet, peaceful place to stay. We'll be back for sure.

Place to be

At arrival, the owner was not in. Needed to wait over an hour, before she returned. 
B&B is hard to find. You are looking for Haut Montraye and see Hotes auvres, or maybe I write it wrong. Difficulty is the English language, good for me the other visitors spoke English :D :D. Clean room that for sure, breakfast is so so. Only Pain, Marmalade, coffee or tea. For me not an B & B to return

It is o so quite

We arrived early evening and received a warm welcoming me from Monique, who took us straight to our room in the eves.  As others have said, if mobility is an issue, we’d recommend asking for the ground-floor room, as the stories are a bit steep and landing pitch dark I’d the light goes off! 

Ours was the room described by others, with the loo separate from shower - sliding door didn’t bother us greatly, though a mini sink just to wash hands rather than having to go back to shower room would make it even better.  Room full of character, with cherub mural on bathroom wall and woodland one on bedroom wall.  Everything is spotlessly clean and smells well-polished.

The grounds are beautiful and the breakfast room charming.  Monique makes her own jam and serves with fresh bread and her own home-made mini croissants and pains au chocolate.  We also had a home-made macaroon- which was unusual for breakfast but very tasty!   All 4 rooms were booked when we stayed, and so breakfast took a little longer than anticipated.  Do allow time to enjoy - or let Monique  know if you need to rush off.   To take the pressure off, Monique might opt to have coffee ready and the kettle on hand for tea so there people could help themselves, and offer breakfast in the garden to give enough seating if everyone arrives at the same time.  That said, Monique is certainly very attentive and wants you to have the best possible experience while staying with her.

 Monique recommended a restaurant in Alencon called Chez Reno, where you can get 2 courses for 20 euros.  It’s a nice place with good service and characterful.  Our starters were really good, whereas our main courses weee average.  Wine expensive - 18€ for half a litre, but you can buy it by the glass. 

All in all a lovely overnight stay and we would recommend.

Warm welcome, characterful place

We stopped here on the way down to a holiday in la Vendee and had a delightful overnight stay. We were travelling with two children, aged 3 and 5, so we were all tired and weary when we arrived. We'd had contact with Monique over the phone prior to arriving and she was a welcoming in person as on the phone. We stayed in two beautiful rooms side by side and Monique recommended places we could eat that evening. 

Having her garden to run round and burn off energy was a real boon, and the children were interested in the alpaca, sheep and goat too! We were refuelled with a tasty breakfast the next morning before we continued our journey. 

What was particularly lovely was the beautiful building and garden - it made our stay feel quintessentially French.

Beautiful rural location

Arrived here with my husband,sister with her family and special arranged guest, Persie our rather large German Shepherd dog. Due to his training, my sister had arranged for him to stay as normally dogs are not allowed as there are llamas.sheep,goats,chickens and a resident dog.Our room was perfect, on the ground floor with plenty of space for my husband, the dog and me. Room finished to a high standard and the en suite beautifully designed.Slept very well, bed comfortable and as their is no noticeable neighbours, very peaceful.  In fairness, our dog was not interested in the other non human occupants but they were very intrigued by him - especially the llama. Breakfast very good, bread and pastries fresh, served with plentiful, excellent coffee and home made jams. Will definitely consider this place as an overnight stop on our annual visit to the Bordeaux region.

Beautiful Place in the French Country Side

This attractive and interesting older building set in delightful gardens and grounds is about 5 miles outside Alençon and 1 mile from Pacé, off the N12. It is not too easy to find, as several roads in the area have the same name - Le Haut Montrayé. However, following the smallish signs “Chamber d’Hotês” from the N12 all the way to the lodge brings you to the gate - though this is not signed. No street lighting, so harder in the dark. We stayed 3 nights but most guests seem to stay just overnight as it is a convenient and quiet location just off the A28 motorway route to the south.

As others have said, there is a llama, sheep, a cat and assorted fowl.

The hostess Monique is very vivacious, with little English, but keen to ensure that guests have recommendations for restaurants, places to visit etc. She welcomed us into the garden and gave us vintage cider to drink!

We had a twin bedded room into the eaves with an amazing woodland mural, and a cherub on the bathroom wall! Excellent and non-slip shower but a larger or second towel each would have been appreciated. The w.c. is in a sort of partition cupboard in the bedroom, unventilated and not sound or smell proof from the bedroom. The wardrobe held the TV - all French language channels, hospitality tray, hairdryer, local information etc, which made the room tidy but meant you could not easily hang any clothes; but then most overnight guests would not need to unpack. Cases had to sit on the floor. Free wifi with a somewhat variable connection. We would choose a different bedroom another time.

Breakfast is included - orange juice, tea/coffee, bread, croissants, homemade jams and cake. Unlike a previous reviewer, breakfast was shared with other guests and we had some interesting conversations with the various guests of different nationalities.

Free parking on the long drive.

This is an old building and the stairs are steep, twisty and dark. There is one ? bedroom on the ground floor.

Though our Booking. com reservation said that Monique would take half the cost from our credit card  before we arrived, she did not, and you need to pay cash for the full cost, including tax, on arrival.
