Le Manoir du Lys, the Originals Relais

Nice location and lodge was very nice, especially the bathroom. Service was very friendly but some had limited english. Restaurant was very good, but service was a little bit slow.

Such a beautiful place located in the middle of the Andaine forest. The room was absolutely beautiful with 3 balconies to enjoy the scenery. Their service is impeccable as they pay attention to the smallest details. Must try their Michelin star restaurant. Highly recommended, thank you for hosting us.

Staff is available and welcoming. The location is great, next to a forest and the city of Bagnole de l'Orne. The pool and the garden are great to enjoy. But beware of the pricing and final invoice, which can be wrong.

Stayed here recently with a group. The room was small, the bathroom tiny. Not unexpected in France. However there was no aircon or fans (2 hot nights). The door to the balcony could not be secured and the safe would not work. On bringing this the attention of the staff they were kind but offered no alternative. The group dinner on the first night was lovely, as we anticipated, but was less than average on the second night.

This establishment is a bit « in the middle of nowhere » and this is precisely why I recommend it. I use it as a convenient stop-over when traveling to Brittany (half way between Paris and Brest) or for an extended weekend stay when I want to get away from it all. Prefer the “Pavilion des Bois” which are very confortable suites that are good value for the money. There’s a heated indoor pool, and an outdoor one too, weather permitting. The restaurant is top notch. But with the town of Bagnoles de l’Orne nearby, you have a wide variety of restaurants to choose from just minutes away if French gastronomy is not your thing. Finally, this a a great place if you’re traveling with your dog.

Ok, the restaurant is closed on Mondays. But does that mean the hotel has to be dead? The welcome was perfunctory, the woman clearly had more important things to do. The 'pavillion' did not convince us as te luxury retreat we had expected. Breakfast was frugal. More staff than food.

While a little close to the coast to make an ideal first night in France for those on a leisurely schedule this is an splendid place to stay. While our bedroom was slightly old-fashioned and the lift is definitely old style French Hotel this did not detract from the Manoir’s charm. The Manoir is in a wooded area just out of town and is set in a delightful garden with some very interesting plants. The public rooms (which are not in the least old-fashioned) have good views over the garden. The staff are very friendly and helpful and we really enjoyed our dinner (though you probably have to like mushrooms) and the wine list is very interesting. Breakfast was spectacular with an amazing range of home-made items ( I have never seen my husband eat chocolate cake for breakfast before) and meant lunch was not required. Overall definitely five star

We had one of the wooden lodges as took our small dog with us and this gave us more space and kept away from the main hotels. The staff were fantastic and the grounds and location were great if staying with a dog. Very pet friendly, even for breakfast and in the restaurant. Had become a little tatty in places, no doubt due to lack of use during covid but this was understandable and gardener etc were working to catch up. Nothing to take away from our experience.
