Le petit hêtre FHU grass campsite
Liked: We had booked this campsite purely on the basis that we required an overnight stop-off, somewhere in the area of Le Mans, for our return journey from South West France up to Calais. We were not really anticipating much, other than a pitch in a field, so what an absolute treat to arrive to a warm welcome from our host, Ludovic, who had made contact with us earlier in the day. The site is so peaceful, set within beautiful countryside. The facilities are rustic, possibly even basic for some peoples needs, but everything is clean and in good working order. We were even treated to some tomatoes from Ludovic's garden, and were told to help ourselves to any herbs or blackberries growing around the site. We also bought some fresh eggs from our host. We were so disappointed that our stay was only a short one. We will definitely stay at the campsite again, but for much longer! Thank you.
Disliked: Nothing!

Liked: Beautiful surroundings, Ludovic was a very kind host who went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable. Great value for money, access to a fire pit with seating around it. An inside space with fridge freezer (2 complimentary beers were put aside for us!😊) Shower, toilet and a place to sit if the weather turns bad. Also a well established herb garden to help yourself to. Recommend the outside shower.
Disliked: Nothing

Liked: Ludovic gives everyone a very warm welcome. The place is very nice and we had a campfire with other people staying there. The shower built by Ludovic was fantastic, light, clean and you could have a very hot shower if you wanted. We highly recommend this place. Thanks ludovic!

Liked: Nice little campsite. The owner wasn't there, but he was in contact via SMS a lot to ensure everything was good, and his young son did a great job of welcoming us and showing us everything at the campsite. Would stay again.

Liked: Absolutely brilliant site, everything you need for a very easy chilled out stay, small and perfectly set up, the outside shower was a big hit! The owner was extremely friendly and accommodating, the site was perfect for a stop on out long trip. We toured all around the previous two weeks, Switzerland, Italy, France & Spain and this final stop was the best!
Disliked: Nothing.

From the manager: Hello Jonathan. Thank you for taking the time to leave your review. I am obviously disappointed with the score given. I receive many more campers now, and the cleaning protocol no longer seems suitable. I will therefore review this one in order to bring you the comfort and satisfaction of having stayed with me. As far as facilities are concerned, dry toilets are being built and will soon be completed. I do all the work myself, and the camp is not my main activity, which causes delays in the realization of future projects. I would like you to contact me directly in order to target more precisely the points that have disaffected you, and thus improve the experience of future campers. Kind regards. Ludovic
Very friendly host, welcoming and peaceful site.
