Mi è piaciuto: This is a really fantastic site with a super friendly English couple behind it and 2 giant dogs! We (the dog and I) turned up late after travelling all day from England and they made us feel very welcome with a cup of tea and a stay in the caravan as the weather wasn’t great. I felt very safe at the site as a solo female traveller and Fred enjoyed meeting one of their giant guard dogs. The site itself was very peaceful and natural so really great for anyone not wanting to stay surrounded by noise. I’d recommend it to any traveller who fancies seeing some of the rural French countryside!

Non mi è piaciuto: The lack of shower could be an issue if you stay long term but I was only there one night and had had a shower at a hotel that morning so it was no problem for me.

Dal gestore: Thank you for choosing our campsite and the great review. Really hope you travels are the best!

Mi è piaciuto: Perfect barefoot campsite full of character as you pitch within the small holding farm. You will have a unique experience as the lovely family take only a very small number of bookings. I arrived early in April after a lot of rain and was very kindly given the caravan to stay in. Surrounded by bird song and rural views it was a treat. Also the best breakfast I have had in years. Camping pieds nus parfait et plein de caractère lorsque vous campez dans la petite ferme. Vous vivrez une expérience unique car la charmante famille ne prend qu'un très petit nombre de réservations. Je suis arrivé début avril après beaucoup de pluie et on m'a très gentiment donné la caravane pour rester. Entouré de chants d'oiseaux et de vues rurales, c'était un régal. Aussi le meilleur petit déjeuner que j'ai eu depuis des années.

Dal gestore: Thank you for your review. Really hope you enjoyed Lassay and the reat of your holiday.

Mi è piaciuto: We stayed here for one night on our way back to the UK after a road trip around Normandy and Brittany. The owners both speak really good English, mainly attributed to the fact that they are both English. Mandy and Dave are living a slightly alternative existence in their farmhouse with their 2 sons, 2 cats and 2 beautiful dogs (don't be put off by their size - they are big softies). The field we stayed in was extremely spacious (we were the only people there) and the toilet and shower were provided by means of a caravan conveniently located near the entrance to the field and we found it perfectly adequate. Plenty of water was provided on our arrival which is drawn from their own well and the drinking water is filtered. We had our cycles with us which enabled us to explore the local village and have a paddle in the nearby Mayenne river. It's a few kilometres to the nearest supermarket, so make sure you are well stocked before you arrive if you don't want to start driving out again once you have set up. If you like manicured pitches marked with neat hedgerows and pristine shower blocks, don't come here. However, if you like peace, nature, a slightly wilder experience, a relaxed approach to camping rules, dark skies for star gazing and interesting hosts, then book now! Mandy and Dave have some way to go to realise their dreams of renovating their ancient barns and offering some kind of mindfulness retreat, but we sincerely hope that one day this place will be even more special than it already is. We can't wait to return one day to see how they are progressing with their project. Our only regret is that we didn't take the hosts up on their kind offer to join them and some friends for a barbeque - we ate very late and crashed out early!
