La Ferme De Malte — Restaurant in Saint-Lô

We actually only ended up here because of a glitch at the place we thought we were going to stay - but it was a stroke of good luck. La Ferme is a beautiful little lodge in the charming town of Villedieu, and easily walkable to everything in the village center. The room was large and comfortable, with windows opening up on to the lawn and trees. We had dinner at the restaurant on the patio, which in the French August was perfect. The service was outstanding, primarily the Madame who worked both at the front desk and at the restaurant (unfortunately, I cannot recall her name.) She was friendly, helpful, and accommodating, and graciously let me practice my only OK French with her, and laughed with us when I made a particularly egregious mistake.
