Wonderful tranquil place
We had a wonderful stay at the gite for over 2 weeks. It was the perfect place to visit the ehole of west Normandy includung Bayeux. It is close to the sea and to the village of Urville, where the local supermarket Utile had everyting you need and has great opening hours. The gite itself is cosy and the fact that it is near the castke with great gardens is an absolute plus. The interior is a bit outdated on some occasions an could do with some repairs, but our stay was very much ok. If i visit Normandy again, i would certainly consider booking this again.

Vacances au moulin
Vacances très agréables dans un cadre magnifique. Paysages au rendez-vous, moments de détente en famille garantis. Logement dans le "moulin" très agréable, spacieux pour une famille de 4 personnes comme nous. Confort et équipements appréciables. Un plus pour les attentions (petits présents pour la famille et notre animal de compagnie à quatre pattes). Idéal pour découvrir la nature environnante : randonnées accessibles même aux débutants. Séjour à recommander vivement.

séjour agréable
Environnement très agréable pour un séjour familial (2 adultes et trois enfants de moins de 6 ans). Logement confortable. A préciser néanmoins: l'escalier intérieur n'est pas adapté aux enfants en bas âge et nécessite des précautions

Kleines Haus in perfekter Lage
Die Unterkunft entsprach unseren Erwartungen. Die Lage in Meeresnähe und am Rande des Schlossgartens war wunderschön. Der Küstenwanderweg führt am Haus vorbei. Strand und Geschäfte sind gut erreichbar. Alles, was man für einen schönen Aufenthalt benötigt, war im schönen Haus vorhanden.

Wildromantische Normandie in eigener Wassermühle
Die Wassermühle liegt abseits auf dem Gelände eines Schlosses. Fantastische Aussicht auf Schloss und Meer aus den großen Fenstern des Wohnraumes laden zum Verweilen ein. Die Beschreibung stimmt zu 100 % hier gibt es keine bösen Überraschungen. Die Küche ist einfach aber gut ausgestattet. Das große Sofa hat den besten Platz für gemütliche Abende, ob mit Buch, Fernseher oder einfach nur der Aussicht. Bad hat alles, was es braucht, dank Waschmaschine und Trockner kann man mit Kleiner Ausstattung anreisen. Die Betten im Obergeschoss sind genau richtig und man steht schon nach der ersten Nacht ohne große Umgewöhnung entspannt auf und kann die Normandie entdecken. Einfach am Ende der Ausfahrt nur rechts oder links abbiegen und sich überraschen lassen. In einer kompletten Mappe hat der Gastgeber Informatives zu seiner Mühle, den Abläufen vor Ort, der ökologischen Ausrichtung und Tipps für Touren in die Umgebung zusammengestellt. Ein absolutes „Rundum-sorglos-Paket“. Wir werden wiederkommen.

Un merveilleux endroit face à la mer
Nous avons passé un extraordinaire séjour, dans cet ancien moulin de pierre face à la mer et entouré d’une superbe forêt. Le lieu est propice à la détente et proche de magnifiques lieu à visiter dans la région. Le gîte est très confortable, on a du plaisir à y retourner après une belle randonnée sur le sentier du littoral tout proche. Tout y est aménagé intelligemment. Le propriétaire des lieux nous réserve un accueil chaleureux et bienveillant, ce qui ajoute à ce lieu un sentiment de bien-être. Nous y retournerons sans hésitation et surtout avec plaisir.

Entspannter Urlaub in ländlicher Umgebung
Die Landschaft in der Normandie ist einfach fantastisch! Dazu waren es vom Ferienhaus nur ein paar Meter zum Strand. Das Ferienhaus liegt etwas abseits - etwas versteckt am Waldrand mit einem kleinen Bach davor. Sehr malerisch! Erholung pur! Trotzdem kommt man mit dem Fahrrad in 10 min zum nächsten Bäcker, der sehr lecker backt. Wenn man unbedingt die Stadt braucht, ist man in 15 min mit dem Auto in Cherbourg. Der einzige Wehrmutstropfen im Haus war der Schimmelgeruch. In der Normandie ist es halt immer feucht. Für Asthmatiker schwierig.
