Stayed at the Chateau Sully 4 years ago. Lovely room, fantastic dinners, fabulous experience. It was a wonderful base for exploring Normandy.

There is a laudatory thread on the Château de Cottun called "Great Normandy B&B."

people seem to love both cottun and sully. anyone been to both? and why is this l'isle marie place basically unknown on fodor's and everywhere else?

Underhill

Probably because no one has stayed there--or at least no one who has read your post. How did you find the hotel?

L'Isle Marie looks very nice--I want the La Marquise apartment. I didn't see any prices indicated, however.

The château is in an excellent location, central for touring the D-Day sights, among others. I'm surprised no one has mentioned it; perhaps it's a well kept secret?

very odd. l'isle marie was cited as one of travel + leisure's 50 most romantic hideaways, but i have heard prices are similar to chateau sully.
