La Ferme Des Mares

We stayed here in our way back to Cherbourg. The hotel is hidden away in a small village close to the sea. The setting is very picturesque. This small hotel is very comfortable, charming and well appointed. Our room was large, clean and everything was in good condition. We stayed half board which came with a three-course fixed menu which was lovely. There is an extensive wine list. Breakfast was equally good although fresh coffee (rather than a thermos) would have been a bonus. Be aware if you are a light sleeper that the church clock chimes every quarter of an hour throughout the night. We would return.

We have really enjoyed this restaurant with its excellent kitchen. Every dish looks like a small painting and a super taste. If you like surprises that taste really good instead of huge portions than this is the place to go. I would gladly return to this restaurant!

This is a hotel and restaurant of the highest standard in out of the way Saint Germain Sur Ay. Everything is a joy from reception through to the end of the meal. Staff are friendly and knowledgeable and the menu is a delight. The standard is set the owners who are an English chef and his French wife who runs the place. If you find yourself in this rejoin you will not be disappointed if you manage to secure a table for dinner.

We had diner/lunch here several times, and we always have been very satisfied. Last visit in August 2016 and it was beyond awful. Raw fish (sole), beef totally overcooked. It looked like the chef was absent and replaced by someone totally unfit to run a kitchen.Anyhow, looking at quality/price we would not likely visit again or refer this restaurant in the near future.
