A perfect place to spend our first wedding anniversary. The food was STUNNING! We will definitely be returning.

Cheri and Sandy, Brighton
Delicious vegetarian food! Amazing Vegan food! Debbie you are an incredible cook, thank you for sharing your precious vegetarian recipes with us. Your attention to detail is much appreciated, everything from the comfortable and stylish rooms to the delicious vegan cocktails, it is all done with love and care. One of many wonderful memories we will take away is sitting in your beautiful garden before dinner sipping on a grasshopper cocktail, (vegan for me, veggie for sandy!) munching on your tasty marinated olives, looking at that stunning view and listening to the sound of crickets (or grasshoppers?) and the birds singing. Thank you both also for giving us so much help in trying to squeeze the best of everything in in 5 days! We will definitely return, again and again.

Hello Debbie,
I would like to say 'thank you' for the wonderful time we all had while staying in the cottage. You and the staff made us very welcome and our stay so pleasant. The whole ambience was welcoming and relaxed. We all really at home there.The views and the walks were wonderful but the food was superb. It was a real treat to be able to order anything on the menu. And so much choice too.

I would also like to thank you personally for making Maggie's birthday special with the cocktails. She was so pleased. We all loved every minute of our stay.
We shall definitely recommend your hotel and restaurant to all our friends.
Thank you for creating such a beautiful vegetarian haven.

Warmest regards
Roz

Mel and Vince F, Paris and Orne
What a treat to find such a fab restaurant. The garden is wonderful and perfect for a pre-dinner drink and a wander. The food was delicious; not boring 'veggie lasagne', but creative and tasty dishes, beautifully presented. I haven't had such a good night out in France since watching England beat Les Bleus in the Rugby World Cup. Thank-you!

Dear Debbie
A very belated thankyou, to say we really enjoyed our evening at La Maison du Vert (6 August - seems like a lifetime away now!). Superb food, very pleasant surroundings despite the heat, and very good service. We loved your garden and all the homemade produce - will certainly return to visit you when we are next in Normandy. Many thanks

After living on cheeseless pizza in the south of france it was like heaven eating in your restaurant with so many choices for us, and without doubt the best vegan breakfasts ever! Can't wait to spend our 2 weeks holiday with you in august next year!

Soraya, Colin and Delphy, Brighton
Wonderful atmosphere and hospitality. Intelligent, imaginative and caring food preparation. If only all vegetarian restaurants were this good, there would be more vegetarians in the world.

Helen & Nikki, Teesside, UK
''We discovered your restaurant at the very end of our holiday in Normandy...and what a find! Our meal was outstanding - a real treat for the tastebuds after a week of omelettes and pizzas! It was, without a shadow of a doubt, the best food we have ever had in France. And knowing that much of what we were eating had been grown in your own beautiful garden simply added to the pleasure. Thankyou for a wonderful evening and keep up the good work. We will be back!''

Meleanne and Tony, London (by email)
We had a really lovely vegetarian easter break. We wanted to get away somewhere not to far away from home and we weren't expecting to have such great weather and we certainly weren't expecting to have such a marvelous time! The vegetarian food is just divine (I put on 1lb for every day!) proving that vegetarian food isn't always so saintly, I did pig out and have 4 courses every day though! Debbie and Daniel are great hosts and make you feel so at home and relaxed. The gardens were lovely even so early in the year and the animals were so much fun to watch (and feed!) We especially loved the sheep Cassis and Framboise! The rooms were really comfy and decorated with lots of taste.
We have just booked another week in August, which says it all really! We really can't fault
La maison du vert and recommend it heartily! Can't wait to go back. Thank you Debbie and Daniel!

Thank you too for the surprise birthday cake."
