Quiet Farmhouse Cottage Feel in Normandy
The house in Beaufour-Druval near Deauville and Dozule was a great respite. Central hub location to Normandy coast (Deauville) or Honfleur to east and Bayeux to west. Grocery and bank in Dozule, as well as numerous restaurants 10-15 minutes away. Anne Marie was very pleasant, happy, energetic host. Very accommodating and helpful. She made restaurant reservations for us first night. She even baked a DELICIOUS fruit pie for us upon arrival…HOW’S THAT FOR HOSPITALITY?! We did not have time to take advantage of on-site activities of pool, games, etc. Country kitchen had everything you need. Now for the downside just to keep future guests aware b/c listing does not show this. The stairs up to sleeping rooms is VERY STEEP. Sturdy railings to hold on to, but slow caution is warranted especially with young children or elderly guests.Bathroom sink and shower cramped, but workable…just mind your head on low hang roof angles. The two toilet rooms (one up, one down) did not have adjacent sink, so you have to move to adjacent bath with sink or kitchen to wash hands. Host had hand sanitizer in the toilet room but just not the same. Straight forward check out process. Driveway entrance has steep section to roadway and low lying cars could bottom out undercarriage if not careful.
