The house is perfect - so clean and well equipped and Phillippe made sure our stay ran smoothly- always around to take the cover off the pool for the kids or let us have fresh eggs.

Dear Sarah,
Thanks very much for your positive reveiw, it was a pleasure to have you at the Clos Bretteville.
Looking forward to your next stay !
We had a fantastic time. The Clos had everything we needed internally and externally. Kitchen was well equipped, bathrooms and bedrooms clean and Philippe was a gem. He was incredible helpful and nothing was too much trouble. I would highly recommend this property.
The area is beautiful, and the accommodation looked amazing. We received a warm welcome, and because we had a basic understanding of the language, we had no trouble following the enthusiastic host’s explanations. He was very helpful in answering our questions. The accommodation was fully equipped with all modern comforts.

Jaw dropping grounds, perfect BBQ area. Beautiful pool and covered seating area. Well decorated, airy, spacious bedrooms and bathrooms. Pool table/ping pong tables were a bonus. Perfect all around for a chilled holiday for the whole family aged from 4 to 77. Would definitely recommend
The property is beautiful and very well maintained. We were very comfortable and enjoyed using the game room. The kitchen was very well equipped. The surrounding property is very picturesque. The hosts and the caretaker were extremely helpful and friendly. Would definitely stay here again if we have the opportunity to return to the area.

Beautiful position, excellent amenities andrs loved sporting activities. The caretaker was helpful, knowledgable and generoys.second to none. Hecwis kniwledgable
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. The house was very comfortable with lots of character (a cozy French cottage with modern updates). Plenty of space for the five of us and activities to keep kids away from their screens. Grounds were lovely as well. Location is convenient with multiple markets within short drive and proximity to Caen, Bayeux and the Normandy coast.
If we were to return to the region (so much more to see..) we would not hesitate to book again.
Fabulous, magical, beautiful, French country side setting. We explored Normandy and at the same time we were able to relish our time at the Clos, swimming, games, walking to and swimming in the river yet most important our time with our family could not have taken place in a more wonderful setting. Thank you to our hosts and to Philippe for making it extra special.

Dear Donna and Ted,
Thanks for visiting from Canada !
You are welcome to come back anytime!
The house was in a lovely setting and had lots of things to do especially for the children. If i was to say anything negative it would be that it could do with a welcome pack milk,bread teabags etc because we never saw a shop open in the village and supermarket was a drive away. To sum it up it was very peaceful and restful.
This property was absolutely perfect for us. We loved the country setting, the proximity to the village with its boulangerie and butcher, and the relatively easy access to a number of great sites (Bayeux, Falaise, the D-Day beaches). The property was extremely well equipped and comfortable. We loved the kitchen and living areas that let our family gather together for meals and socializing. There was also enough private space for people to retreat for quiet time. The pool table got lots of use. Philippe, the caretaker, was a wealth of information — and fresh eggs. The owners were extremely helpful as needed. All in all, a fantastic property for those who love a beautiful rural setting with history.

We enjoyed our stay in the Country after 5 busy days in Paris. The grounds are beautiful and Phillipe the grounds keeper was wonderful and helpful. The place is spacious and clean. The bathrooms are renovated and up to date. We were a party of 6 adults. We even got to enjoy the clean and sparkling pool. My only suggestion would be portable fans for the bedrooms. You cannot control the weather and it was 91 degrees when we visited and the bedrooms were all upstairs so it was quite toasty.
After a week and a half in crowded, bustling Paris, our group of seven-ranging in ages from 32 to 85-was ready for the quiet of the Normandy countryside. And this lovely guest house was perfect for our needs. Nicely appointed rooms and modern baths— all very clean and spacious.
The grounds are beautiful and the location worked well for our trips to the D-Day sites, Falaise, and Mont St Michel.
Philippe, the caretaker, is a treasure. He was so welcoming and solicitous—making sure we had everything we needed. Our memories of Philippe and Clos de Bretteville will always bring smiles to our faces. We wish we could have stayed longer. Merci Alexis & Philippe!
Wir hatten eine tolle Zeit auf The Clos Bretteville! Philippe hatte hat uns mit Herz und Seele durch den Urlaub begleitet. Er war stets ansprechbar und seine interessanten Geschichten haben so manches Gespräch inspiriert. Das Haus hat einen ganz besonderen Charme, den man einfach lieben muss! Unsere Kinder haben von Tennis über Billiard bis hin zum privaten Pool alle Angebote intensiv genutzt... Kurzum, es war ein wunderschöner Urlaub, auf einem wunderschönen Schloß in der wunderschönen Normandie.
