About this property

Perfect hideaway in a rural setting, yet only a 10 minute walk to the village.

Les Glycines, the french name for wisteria, is the name I chose for the gîte, as in the summer the walls are covered in beautiful purple flowers, with a heady scent!! The one bedroom gite attached to my house was converted in 2015. Previously the gite was two garages, storing cider barrels and bottles, sadly empty! The farmhouse is over 300 years old, a mixture of brick, cob & stone, and is not overlooked, except by the cows in a neighbouring field! You'll feel as if you're miles from anywhere, as there is 5000sq metres of land, plenty of green space, the cats enjoy it!

Les Glycines is situated in a small village called Cerisy-la-Foret, which is known for its 11th century abbey and modern sculpture park. A 10 minute walk and you're at the monks pond opposite the abbey, very picturesque. 5 mins drive in the other direction, and you're in the forest.

If it's a relaxing break for two you need, in a quiet setting, then look no further. However, you're not in the middle of nowhere, Bayeux and St Lo are close by, within a 25 minute drive. You have the best of both worlds!

Most people choose Normandy to explore everything they have heard about D-day. You won't be disappointed! Ideally situated for visiting all the D-day landing beaches with Omaha being the nearest, only 30 minutes away. There are plenty of military cemeteries and museums nearby.

Very clean and quiet
This was a perfect spot to do the DDay sites. We loved the tranquility of being in the countryside. Gite was very clean and had everything we needed. Noreen was very hospitable even providing a baguette, cheese, tomatoes and cider for our arrival.

Revisiting Normandy
Very light, airy and roomy property. Let down by the quaint assortment of crockery and cutlery. Only one saucepan had a lid. Needs more storage space in kitchen area. A bit further to the village than we expected. The butcher was on his annual holidays!

A most relaxing time
We have just had a really lovely two weeks in this relaxing little gite. Noreen is a great Lady who does everything she can to insure you have a memorable holiday. We did have a few issues but these were dealt with quickly and efficiently. Our one and only criticism is that the outside seating area could be made more comfortable with a bit of TLC. Otherwise we are more than happy to recommend this gite to everyone who wishes to get away from it all.

A really neat and beautiful place to stay in the Normandie region
What a cute little place in the Normandie countryside. Noreen was an excellent hostess, so kind and thoughtful. The property is conveniently located in proximity to the Normandie coast. When I come back to Normandie, I will definitely want to stay here! Chris Chapel Hill, NC USA

An splendid gite. Over the years we have stayed in many holiday cottages in France and Italy and this is one of the best. Good facilities and in a very attractive and peaceful location. A particular strength is the number of outdoor spots by the cottage to sit or eat.Noreen is an good hostess leaves you to it but is on hand to help if needed. It is an attractive part of Normandy. Nearby Le Molay Liitry has decent shops, a Thursday market and a couple of restaurants. Bayeux and the surrounding area have much to offer - gardens,chateaux, the D day beaches and much more. We will go again if we are able.

Perfect hideaway for a couple, quiet, clean, comfortable. Good location for all D-Day activities.
A great gite, all on one level, with everything you could need provided. A large, airy, lounge/kitchen/diner with cooker, microwave, fridge and coffee machine. A large bedroom with modern en-suite shower room. Air conditioned too. It's all nicely decorated and very clean and comfortable. There is also a TV with English Freeview satellite and a dvd player. There are plenty of places to sit outside in the extensive grounds to chase sun or shade and the only noise is from the cows in the adjoining fields and the tolling of the nearby abbey bell. It's a perfect gite for a couple and gave us a very peaceful and relaxing break. Noreen the owner is there should you need her but otherwise let's you get on with your holiday. Bayeux and St Lo are about 20mins away, the nearest supermarket is c10mins away but the local village has a butcher, a baker and a small general store. The D-Day beaches are about 40mins away and the gite makes a good base to explore the region. It's one of the best gites we've used and is recommended.

Just perfect!
Noreeen was the ideal 'there but not there' hostess. She was always ready to advise or help, without being in any way obtrusive. The accommodation was very comfortable, clean and well-equipped. Consequently we greatly enjoyed our stay.
