Beautiful Place with Delicious Food - Edit
We came here just for dinner and were not disappointed. Having an Apéro in the beautiful garden interacting with the friendly cats was a nice experience. The food was outstanding. Nothing we had was processed, most of it came from their garden. The owners and staff were all very friendly and the cats even came inside to keep us company.

Amazing vegan restaurant - Edit
Amazing all-vegan restaurant located in a fabulous landscape. British owners welcome you in a big garden with a very nice view of the country. All dishes are vegan, homemade. I tasted the chestnut-mushroom steak, “rouleaux de vigne” and mango ice cream, just delicious.

Maison du verrukkelijk - Edit
Een paradijsje op aarde. Het pittoreske Ticheville, de fantastisch tuin, het heerlijke eten. Alles klopt! Echt een plaatje. Minpuntje is de kerkklok die elke ochtend om 7 uur slaat, maar gek genoeg hebben we die de laatste ochtend geeneens meer gehoord 😊 Debbie en haar man zijn ook nog eens de vriendelijkste mensen die je ooit zult ontmoeten. Ticheville is een prima uitvalsbasis om plekken als Mont St.Michel, Normandië stranden en steden als Caen en Rouen te bezoeken. Ze vangen hier ook dieren op als katten, kalkoenen en eenden. Wat een schatjes!

One of my favorite places on Earth - Edit
I worked here for a few months in 2016 and had some of the most amazing experiences of my life. Not only is the food wonderful and most of it grown right outside, the owners and staff are lovely gregarious people who make you feel right at home. I became vegan while working here and never looked back! The surrounding countryside is picturesque and offers so many trails to get lost on without having to actually get lost. In the summer there's plenty of raspberries and blackberries around for picking and friendly people driving through the quaint village, happy to pick you up should you be in need of a ride.

relaxed holiday! - Edit
We spent 4 nights and had a lovely relaxed holiday! The highlight was definitely hearing an owl at night :-) Beautiful garden, many cats, quiet and tranquil. Vegan magazines and plenty of touristic brochures. Breakfast was a bit basic, but more than enough. Evening dinner is a la carte, with several vegan options, or dishes that can be veganised.We could choose something different every evening. Nice food, but sometimes heavy on the sauce though. One unfortunate mix up with non-vegan butter, which they apologised for. Pretty basic room, but clean and comfortable enough (not enough wall sockets though). very friendly people!

Wonderful place - Edit
We just returned from a 3 night stay at La Maison du Vert. The owners and staff were so welcoming, lovely to talk to and made us feel right at home. And the food - just wonderful. We are vegan and almost everything on the menu could be made vegan. Can't wait to return!

Wonderful - Edit
We stayed here for a week in the gorgeous cottage in the grounds. It gave us the best of both worlds as we had loads of space for our family of three, the option of cooking our own food but the availability of the restaurant right on our doorstep. Needless to say we ate in the restaurant quite a bit as the food is so good. Loads of vegan options made with very fresh ingredients, some of which are freshly picked from the gardens. Their vegan 'mint choc chip' cocktail is amazing. We had that most nights!!! Their gardens are beautiful with a very large wildlife pond, lots of vegetable plots as well as feature gardens with lawns. It was lovely just to sit in the garden in the evening looking across and out towards the countryside, whilst enjoying a cocktail. The wonderful thing about La Maison du Vert is that the people are so friendly and a lot of the staff were vegan or vegetarian. The owners Debbie and Daniel are really helpful and nothing is too much trouble. We will definitely be going back. A holiday in nice surroundings where being a vegan doesn't prove a challenge makes for a very pleasant and relaxing break.
Read morePros: Loads of vegan options, Friendly owners and staff, Beautiful surroundings

Beautiful hotel, DELICIOUS food! :) - Edit
My boyfriend and I recently stayed at La Maison Du Vert for three nights for my birthday. We have been travelling Europe for a few months and this stay was the absolute highlight of our trip!
Read moreI loved going out to the beautiful countryside of Normandy - so green and lush! The property is beautiful with gorgeous gardens and the staff are always so friendly and helpful.
The best part of course, was the food! Every meal we ate was delicious!! If you are vegan don't fear as nearly all the meals can be veganised - true veggie paradise!! The staff even gave me candles in my dessert and sang happy birthday which made my day extra special! I HIGHLY recommend staying here and can't wait to come back!! :)
Thank you Debbie and Daniel and your wonderful staff!!! :)
Pros: EVERYTHING!!!
Cons: Nothing!

Call here for lunch and were delighted we made the effort to visit. Starters of Thai soup & tempura were followed by an Indian selection and a mushroom & chestnut burger. All so tasty! And then a very lush chocolate dessert. Would happily eat here again!

Tres belle - Edit
I have only recently returned from a week at La Maison and I really miss everything about it, from the large, picturesque gardens to the pretty hotel room; the delicious, fresh meals and the rescued animals who share the land.
Read moreWe wanted a relaxing, quiet holiday in an attractive location and that is what we got. The garden is big and interesting enough to spend considerable time just relaxing in it, sipping a cocktail and enjoying the sunshine and wildlife that visits it. It is also easy and enjoyable to walk or cycle to surrounding villages or the nearest town. There are many public gardens within a reasonable driving distance and the region is full of orchards which makes for green scenery and plenty of cider and Calvados!
The menu is not marked with items that are suitable for vegans but don't let that put you off if you are vegan. Many of the dishes are vegan and the others are readily adapted for you with generosity. Much of the produce comes from the garden and so the freshness is a huge selling point. The restaurant appears to be very popular with the (meat-eating) locals as well as people from further afield. I can particularly recommend the chocolate and apricot pudding - absolutely divine!
The only thing I didn't like (as a wildlife-orientated person) was the resident cats always trying to catch things (sometimes successfully) in a place that is otherwise a haven for creatures. That has always been a personal bugbear of mine though and one that isn't shared by most. On the other hand, I was pleasantly surprised to see they allow dogs to stay so it is possible to have a proper family holiday! :)
I hope I will go back one day.
Pros: Beautiful gardens, Peaceful location, Fab for vegans

Highly recommend! - Edit
Me and my dog, Bella really enjoyed staying at La Maison du Vert. It was our absolute favorite place. It's hidden in the country side... very positive and magical place. Lovely gardens/property. They have rescued chickens and turkeys. Their home is very comfortable... and the food is amazing! We highly recommend you to stay here!! It was totally worth our time... we will return soon. Very vegan friendly.

Gorgeous setting, great food - Edit
A vegetarian B&B with a restaurant attached. The food is absolutely top notch and all freshly prepared. It might seem expemsive but you really do get what you pay for. vegans are well catered for with advance notice. The dessert of caramelised oranges in calvados (I think)was amazing - and I'm not generally a lover of fruit only desserts! The garden and the accommodation is superb too.

MUST STOP HERE - Edit
A vegetarian oasis in the French countryside! Although not vegan, the owners & staff are completely knowledgeable and accommodating with their truly gourmet menu. The guesthouse was well worth the 2 1/2 hour drive out of the planned route, as the accommodations were so comfortable, the owners & staff were so kind & friendly, and the food was the best I had in my 2 weeks in France. Try the homemade drinks and the dishes with all local ingredients. My non-vegetarian companion agreed that this was some of the best food we experienced.

A veggie haven in Normandy - Edit
This place is amazing. Normandy is a desert for vegans, and La Maison Du Vert is an oasis. I ate here for dinner with my fiance and my parents. We got there early and sat in the beautiful garden and played with one of the cats, Scampi. The food is outstanding. I had a "rosti", which is a big potato pancake with sauce and vegetables on it. My fiance had the Indian thali. For dessert, they made us vegan chocolate fondue with fruit. Everything was delicious, and the English staff are all very friendly. The place was crowded, and almost everyone was speaking English.
Read moreIt is easy to get lost getting there, though. Make sure you get directions to Ticheville, France. The map we got from Happy Cow wasn't correct. La Maison Du Vert is right across the street from the church in Ticheville. It's a tiny town, so I don't think it's possible to miss it.
Pros: delicious food, cats, friendly staff
Cons: far away

Vegan paradise in a tiny Normandy village - Edit
I can't say enough wonderful things about La Maison du Vert. I stayed at the small, family-run inn and had my meals (breakfast and dinner) downstairs in the restaurant. They will do vegan meals if you request in advance, and they are gourmet quality. (See the sample menus on their website, they're to drool over!)Enjoy local apple cider, poiré (alcoholic pear drink), and pommeau (apple brandy drink) with your dinner. The setting is very lush and peaceful and green, and they rescue animals so there are cats, sheep, ducks, geese, turkeys, and chickens to keep you company. The owners are English people who also speak French.
Read morePros: excellent food, local ingredients, friendly staff
