We cannot say enough about this property! We had two families and eight total people, including four kids ranging in age from 10 to 15 and it was wonderful. It is a gorgeous old property on a beautiful farm in the countryside and was the perfect location for going to different World War II memorials and sites. The house was incredibly clean and very well appointed. Catherine was a helpful hostess.

Great family place

Out in the countryside but just ten minutes at most by car to bakeries and supermarket. Good location for seeing the beaches. Our hosts were very nice, and their dog made friends with our grandkids immediately. Spacious accommodations. Only downside was a minimal supply of toilet paper and rather light supplies of cooking spices, etc. overall a really nice place for families, nice hosts, good location. Would definitely recommed it.

A truly delightful house with a lot of French charm. Large kitchen, living room with fireplace and pool table, 3 bathrooms and a ton of bedrooms. A nice garden area in the back for relaxing. The home is pretty old but has been beautifully renovated. Catherine, the owner, lives next door and has 2 friendly dogs as well as ducks and chicken. Catherine was friendly and answered all questions quickly. Highly recommend!

Catherine's house was beautiful and spacious. We were 13 people -- three families, all siblings and cousins. there was plenty of space for us to gather, and we especially enjoyed cooking together and gathering in the evening over (many bottles of!) French wine and Normandy cider. The home is only about 10 minutes from the town of Isigny-sur-Mer and less than 5 minutes from a grocery store, but the location itself is very quiet. We came to visit the D-Day beaches, which were also fairly close by. All of us enjoyed our stay very much -- and we loved Catherine's two friendly dogs too!

The property was lovely and the hosts accommodating, however, was a little miffed that the property was not as advertised. We were under the impression that we had the whole house, but upon check in 2 of the bedrooms were locked. We had to pay an extra 150 euros in order for an uncle and nephew to not have to share a room with single beds. We also had to ask for the washing machine area to be unlocked so that we could use it if required

I understand your disappointment, but the Abritel website is set up so that the house is automatically booked for 10 people. If you’d like to have the entire house to yourselves, simply let us know via message—and, as you can imagine, this will cost more. This pricing structure allows smaller families to pay less for the rental than they would if the default rate were for 14 people. Regarding the laundry room: it is shared and is used for all laundry during the rental. That is why it is available upon request for short stays. Our guests can always access it whenever they need it.

Perfect in every way!

We had a wonderful 5 night stay at Catherine’s beautiful gîte! We drove from the UK and met up with the grandparents from the US in order to see all of the D-Day sites. This location was absolutely perfect to visit sites around Bayeux and also Utah Beach and Ste Mere Eglise. We previously stayed closer to Bayeux and this location was much better for visiting sites in both directions. The house is substantial and perfectly accommodated our group. The beds are very comfortable and the kitchen has everything you need for easy dinners in. My son absolutely loved the dogs and chickens on the property! There are two groceries within easy driving distance. We had a packed 5 days and saw everything on our list and more! Would absolutely stay again!

Thank you, as you point out, our property is perfectly situated for visiting Bayeux and the main D-Day commemorative sites, but also for enjoying nature and discovering the biodiversity of the Bessin and Cotentin marshes. Our accommodation is designed with families in mind, and we're delighted that you enjoyed it.

Unbelievably Amazing

This ancient home is THE place to stay if you are visiting the Normandy area. House is immaculate, clean, and has all the modern amenities you’d need. Comfortable, tons of space, comfortable beds, quiet and picturesque. We stayed with 10 people ranging from age 10-70 years old and everyone had a nice bed to sleep in. The host and hostess went above and beyond to welcome us, remaining flexible with our up-in-the-air arrival time due to strikes in Paris. They showed us around, provided farm fresh eggs our last morning, allowed my daughter to play with their friendly dog outside, showed us their horse, and even built a fire for us on the last night. My only regret is that we didn’t plan to stay longer. 5 stars!!!

Cozy modernized rooms with good showers, one tub, large kitchen and living room with fireplace and pool table. Outdoor sitting areas and easy parking. Excellent hosts and two friendly dogs.

Nous comprenons que vous ayez pu être incommodés par le voisinage à la fois de notre maison et peut-être de notre autre gîte présent sur la propriété ; sans doute vous attendiez vous à une autre configuration. Les différents hébergements font partie d'un grand corps de ferme typique, c'est ce qui fait leur charme (c'est indiqué dans l'annonce mais nous allons le clarifier encore davantage). La plupart de nos hôtes apprécient de pouvoir échanger avec nous et nous sommes toujours heureux de leur rendre service ou de les informer comme en témoignent la majorité de leurs commentaires.

Topverblijf

We verbleven voor 6 nachten/5 dagen met 10 personen. De accommodatie was heel proper met mooi opgemaakte bedden, parkeergelegenheid op het terrein zelf, gebruik van de grote keuken met alle benodigdheden. De eigenaars hebben 2 honden (niet de hele tijd los op het terrein),die dol enthousiast en lief zijn, maar als er mensen zijn met schrik voor honden, wel even vermelden bij het boeken/reserveren.

Le gîte est très agréable pour une famille comme nous qui a plaisir à se retrouver. Chacun a son espace très confortablement installé et décoré avec beaucoup de goût et nous avons pu bénéficier des espaces communs bien équipés (salon et cuisine) pour partager nos repas et passer du temps tous ensemble. Le billard et la table de ping-pong ont aussi été très appréciés.

Vacances en famille avec des enfants et des adolescents.

Nous avons apprécié l'espace de la maison et les 5 chambres avec trois espaces distincts, mais j'ai particulièrement apprécié la grande cuisine bien équipée et très lumineuse qui autorise des repas à 6 personnes sans aucun problème de circulation, et des soirées avec des jeux de sociétés. Les garçons ont adoré le billard et ma fille a profité de son espace pour dessiner et peindre. Localisation idéale pour faire des sorties historiques de Utha, Sainte mère l'église jusqu'à Caen en passant par Colville et la pointe du Hoc.
