Comfortable, well-appointed house. Great location. Ideal for older kids and adults.
This is a comfortable, well appointed and well located house, although there are a couple of factors to be aware of before booking.
The house is the ground floor of the building shown in the picture (not the whole building). There is a large kitchen/dining/lounge area as well as two bedrooms (one double, one twin) with a Jack-and-Jill bathroom between them. Plus a small garden to the back.
On the plus side:
- Very comfortable beds
- Fantastic walk-in shower
- Very clean
- Fresh, modern decor with attention to detail
- Light, airy, spacious living room
- Great location for visiting northern Normandy
- They offer a bread/ morning goods delivery service (pain au chocolat etc.)
We have a couple of cautions:
- Our last morning, as we were packing up, the owner came over and told us that cleaning is not included in the price. We were pretty shocked as, while we always leave a place clean, we don't expect to have to fulfill the role of a cleaner between holiday lets. We felt something this significant - and time consuming - should have been flagged before booking.
- Similarly, we were told on the last morning that we needed to pay 2 E per person per night in tourist tax. While the owner had mentioned this was a possibility when we arrived, we expected to have it confirmed sooner so we could get the money. And also for this extra cost to be made clear at time of booking.
- The garden is small, mostly gravel on a slope, with a very small grass area. There is a nice outside table and BBQ, which is fine for adults, but it is not a great play area for children.
- The TV is only in French. Therefore if you don't speak French, you might want to bring DVDs/ downloads with you.
