A charming, traditional cottage in Normandy

A complete getaway. A stone cottage set between farm and fields, this house offers peace and calm in a beautiful natural setting. The terrace is a perfect place for sunny breakfasts of croissant from the local boulangerie and candlelit suppers or card games with only the occasional cow for company. Traditional stone kitchen and sitting-room with log burning fire create a relaxing environment. The garden is great for kids to play football, table tennis, badminton and set up tents for overnight adventures. There are tennis courts and horseriding facilities nearby and amusement parks with go-karting, skating, trampolining, laser quest, treetop climbing and rides. Soft sandy beaches are a 20 minute drive away at Brehal and Granville. Historic places like Mont Saint Michel, Bayeaux and the Normandy landing beaches and museums provide interesting day trips.

Family trip to France with Normandy adventure

We all agreed this house was one of the most memorable and wonderful aspects of our trip to France. This quintessential French country house accomodated our family of 8 so very well. Thank you for your hospitality and helpful tips for the area (we visited the boulangerie twice as bread, wine, and cheese make great picnics!)

Staying in early September 2023

The house looked full of potential but unfortunately in reality it proved to be internally dirty and outwardly completely unloved. What appeared to have ample storage cupboards were cluttered and full with no room for our provisions. Third bedroom carpet was horribly stained by leaking en suite shower. En suite Shower room on first floor had black mould between floor tiles with a dirty stained shower mat. Wooden kitchen draining board was slimy with black mould in grooves. Dirty kitchen sinks. Garden very overgrown with dumped rubbish. Not Dog friendly as advertised. Barbecue was badly cracked and looked unsafe to use. Drive and stoned parking / social area had many ingrowing weeds. The only plus was clean towels and clean bed linen. We left early as we felt as if we were camping every day.

Not what we expected

Overall the house was tired and old. Upstairs satisfactory. Downstairs kitchen. The oven burnt everything and the hob was uncontrollable to put to low temperature. The kitchen equipment old. There were no instructions for white goods. The electrics by the TV were exposed socket and dangerous . The house was dark and cold and we had to contact the owner for instructions to use the heating. The dustbin had wet old rubbish in so we couldn’t put refuse in bags in it and it smelt. Garden was overgrown and unkempt.

Gezellig vakantiehuis

Vakantiehuis groot genoeg voor het hele gezin.Een aantal keren buiten kunnen eten op het terras. Er zou binnen en buiten wel eens grondig gepoetst mogen worden. Binnen veel spinnenwebben en stof. Afzuiging boven het fornuis is heel vettig. Buiten is er een grote tuin,maar er zou dringend moeten gesnoeid worden. De tuin heeft niet meer de uitstraling van in de advertentiefoto's. terras.Mooie omgeving, 25 minuten van de zee

Maison normandes

Très jolie maison, dommage un peu vieillotte avec toutes ses moquettes pas très hygiénique surtout dans une des salle de bain. Avec cette petite inondation qu on a eu qui nous a vallu la condamnation d une des chambres avec cette forte odeur d humidité. Par ailleurs un petit tri de la part du propriétaire sur tous les produits et nourritures périmée dans les placards et sur les étagères dans la cuisine serait plus approprié. Avec un peu plus d entretien sur tout le site y compris l extérieur se serait une location idéale.
