Pefectly located and well equiped, modern conversion of a historic building.

Perfectly situated for a tour of Bayeux and the Normandy beaches. Well equipped apartment in a beautifully restored historic stables and riding house. The host was welcoming and on hand if anything is needed. Clean and cosy, we couldn't have hoped for a better stay.

Fantastic Stay

We had a wonderful stay at this lovely cottage. After a warm welcome from our host, Karin, we spent three very comfortable nights at this fantastic location. The cottage was well equipped, it had very comfortable beds and a lovely outside space within the working farm’s courtyard to sit out and relax. It was perfectly placed for our visits to Bayeux, the D-Day beaches and many other places. We would happily stay at this cottage again. Thank you for a wonderful stay, Karin.

Lovely intro to Normandy

Property is in a lovely massive square courtyard of old stables. The house was quiet with only birds and cows making any noise. Situation is near all the war sites. Great boulangerie, Trot restaurant best for many miles / kilometres. Tre bon. C'est tout!

Normandy in the country

Peaceful rural setting not far from the beaches of Normandy. Even though tucked away on a rural road, access to the highway was easy and quick and Bayeux was less than 20 minutes. Very nice quarters. tastefully decorated, all accouterments furnished including access to washer, dryer, and bicycles. Roomy with plenty of space for four. Karine was most hospitable, responded quickly to inquiries, and helped with suggestions for shopping and meals. Good internet connection and for those who do not speak French, one can log into Netflix on the tv. Would heartily recommend and will stay again if the opportunity returns.

Sehr gute Kommunikation, wir waren zu dritt zum 81 D Day dort. Karine hat uns herzlich empfangen und eine Karte mit den wichtigsten Besichtigungsorten vorgelegt. Schon die Einfahrt in den großen Hof und die Gebäude ließen sofort ein Urlaubsfeeling entstehen. Saubere und mit allem ausgestattete Unterkünfte. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt und planen auch schon, mit der ganzen Familie dort unseren Urlaub zu verbringen.
