Great place, lovely spot in the countryside for a peaceful holiday. The house is beautiful, clean and has everything you need for an easy comfortable and relaxing stay. With local walks on the doorstep, canoeing, high wires, lakes and the beautiful countryside of Swiss Normandy just down the road we had everything we needed for a perfect holiday. Thank you Sophie and Fred for a wonderful holiday.

Very nice!

We (a family of five, all adults) loved our stay at this lovely holiday home. We had a lot of space, very cosy places to sit inside the house and outside, to read and chat. There was good equipment to cook dinners and so on. The area around the house itself was peaceful. It was also a good central location to explore inland Normandy. On the few rainy days we had it was nice to be in the hoise, we could use the fireplace.

Rust en Ruimte

Beautiful made home! Very nice owner (Daughter in this case), and good clear communication. Quiet and a lot off space, loved the surrounding of nature. The house has everything you need, and yes it is sometimes nice to have no TV or internet :) Just enjoy nature and the outdoors. Take your own sheets/sleepingbag and pillow whit you, it is more comfy.

a very cosy house with beautiful surroundings.

the house was quite big. we were with 8 people but you can easily sleep here with 10 or 12 people. the kitchen was well equipped and the house had everything we needed. the garden around the house was huge, had a hammock and a very nice terrace. the owner was very welcoming and helpful. the surrounding area is beautiful and perfect for a walk. the city of briouze was about a 10 min drive and is perfect to get groceries and baguette in the morning. the city of Caen was a 1 and a half hour drive and the WWII museum is very impressive. lac de rabonges is a 15 min drive and is perfect to go canoeing. Overall: 10/10 we had a great time and would definitely recommend.

Super séjour

Nous avons passé 4 jours chez Sophie en famille nous etions 7 avec un petit de 3 ans. Beaucoup d'espace. La maison est incroyable toute en bois. Très chalereuse et cosi. Joliment décorée. Les environs sont très agréables (Suisse normande) et très calmes. Un vrai moment de bonheur et de détente. Sophie nous a bien reçus et elle est arangeante pour l'arrivée et le depart. Nous y retournerons avec plaisir.

Magique !

La maison est super sympa, et les extérieurs sont superbes, une terrasse qui surplombe le terrain spacieux. La grande pièce en bas est ouverte sur la nature mais super cocooning pour des soirées chaleureuses au coin du poêle. Grande cuisine ouverte, des canapés à foison, des coussins moelleux et une alcôve charmante pour lire. À l’étage on a l’embarras du choix pour dormir, il y a des lits partout !

3 Weken totale ontspanning

Een heerlijk huis voor een vrolijk weerzien van familie, vrienden en de buren van weleer. Prettige indeling met 4 slaapkamers op de eerste verdieping, een grote living/ eetkamer en goed uitgeruste keuken op de begane grond en een terras met uitzicht op het groene veld. Daarnaast is er ook nog een leuke grote slaapruimte voor de jongere gasten in het oude deel. Eén badkamer is eigenlijk te weinig als je hier met meer dan 6 mensen verblijft. De omgeving is prachtig, veel wandelmogelijkheden, zwemmen in de rivier en natuurlijk het strand op 1 à 1,5 uur rijden. De trein in Briouze (10 min.) brengt je in ruim 2 uur naar Parijs. Voor herhaling vatbaar!
