What an exceptional experience! We loved this 'cottage' ... and would HIGHLY recommend it to anyone who enjoys experiencing 'the real France'! The cottage was LOVELY! Clean and new! We used it as our home base during our BUSY day trip schedule which included Caen, DDay Beaches, Bayeaux, Mt St Michel, St Malo, Chartres, ETC! There was a lot to see! Our hosts were very accommodating .... we will likely visit again! The Hofers - Chicago and Toronto

We had a fabulous time at La Pelviniere –you really know how to make a ‘good’ cottage ‘great’!! Everthing about the cottage was perfect and we had the “Why don’t WE have a cottage here” conversation again!!

My family (wife and 3 boys) had a great time. The house was a wonderful experience . Gave us a real appreciation for the French countryside with the neighbors rooster, cows and horses. Since the kids were studying WW2 , we visited the Normandy coast with the 35 yr celebration. We also enjoyed a great restaurant about a half hour away in the farm fields which was fabulous ( cant remember the name). There are incredible places to drive to all within one hour. The house was clean , recently remodeled, beds were very comfortable. My only recommendation is to dehumidify the house before visitors arrive. It rained several days and the house was pretty humid. thanks again for letting use your cottage.

Owner response:This sums up why we bought the house after staying in the area with lots to do and great French Food at reasonable prices at small local friendly restaurants. After 18 months complete renovation(remodelling?) we are glad you enjoyed it.Unfortunately we cannot control the weather but turn the heating up and the cottage is warm and cosy especially with the log fire roaring!

We had a wonderful time. The cottage was very well equipped and there is lots to do in the area. If you like Fish & Chips they are sold from a van in the village on Thursday and you can eat them in the bar opposite.

What a wonderful cottage in a fantastic location. We came to relax and enjoy a slower pace of life and that is what we got. The children enjoyed the garden.great place within easy reach of lots of places. Alligater Bay near Mont St. Michel was a favourite with both children. A lovely welcome from Steve & Eileen(the owners) who were really nice & easy people to deal with. Thanks.

We are a group of family and friends here to celebrate New Year – what a wonderful way to do it! The accommodation is superb – extremely comfortable. The log burner was a real plus in temperatures well below zero!!

Beautiful house, best we have stayed in. Restaurant in St. Germaine excellent. The snow made everything look Christmasy so we played carols! Lovely selection of games and music. The house was so cosy to come back to. It is so well equipped we were able to cook some lovely meals with some yummy French food.

Excellent house, very nicely set up. All I ever needed to cook in. We came away to relax and have done that. It is our 4th time in the Vire area and will come again. Markets are excellent.

A wonderful fortnight here – the cottage is beautiful, but just as important is well furnished and equipped. Lovely quiet location. The area is beautiful too with plenty to do although sunny afternoons spent lying in the garden are recommended too! Moulin St Jean restaurant great food and setting. Overall we had a a lovely time thank you.
