Both Jacqueline and Sonia made us feel very welcome for our six week vacation from December 2026 until January 2026.They excelled themselves in making sure that we had everything that we needed and even put up Christmas decorations before our arrival. Upon enquiring as to where we could purchase a Christmas tree, one magically appeared.Upon our arrival, we were warmly greeted with homemade apple cider, chocolates and walnuts.During our stay, we were given their farm fresh eggs.

A blissful 4 weeks in rural Normandy

Jaqueline is the ultimate host who clearly loves having guests to stay at her beautiful property in the stunning Normandy countryside. We received a very warm welcome when we arrived, Jaqueline is charming and was keen to make us feel at home. During our stay we enjoyed chatting with Jaqueline, she made every effort to enhance our stay by telling us about different places to visit and recommended the best shops and restaurants. The property is in a great location, peaceful and pretty it is the perfect place to unwind and relax whilst still being close to lively towns and villages and the wonderful Mont San Michel. The local shop/bar was great, fun friendly owners with a good sense of humour putting up with our terrible French! There were plenty of clean beds in decent sized bedrooms, we all slept very well. The kitchens were well equipped with everything you might need, ample space for cooking and enough tables and chairs, inside and out to have meals together. We used quite a few of the bicycles most days, it was fun cycling around the countryside. It is a truly idyllic place to stay with a genuine and generous host.

Bien mais cher

Nous n’y avons passé qu’une nuit et n’avons pas profité pleinement du gîte. Il est bien équipé, spacieux et calme. Le seul point négatif est la note d’électricité à plus de 30€ pour une seule nuit à 5 personnes. Personnellement, je n’ai pas vu dans l’annonce que l’électricité était facturée séparément mais j’ai peut-être mal cherché.

Most wonderful stay and people. Un séjour et des gens merveilleux

Words cannot express how much we enjoyed our time, sk we are coming back for a longer time while we look to live in the area. The accomodations ate beautifully done and rrstored, plenty of items for a stay, all cooking, cleaning, towels, lighting, security, tv, books, blankets, everything. Including cows, chickes, bunnies, birds, and all of nature. Privacy and peacefulness, yet 15 minutes from Avranches and viewing Le Mont St Michel or A84 highway to anywhere. The perfect place for a calm, well located and friendly stay. We have made good friends here. Madame Gogo is the ultimate professional with a kind heart. Les mots ne peuvent pas exprimer à quel point nous avons apprécié notre séjour, nous allons donc revenir pour une période plus longue alors que nous cherchons à vivre dans la région. Les logements sont magnifiquement faits et restaurés, beaucoup d'articles pour un séjour, toute la cuisine, le nettoyage, les serviettes, l'éclairage, la sécurité, la télévision, les livres, les couvertures, tout. Y compris les vaches, les poussins, les lapins, les oiseaux et toute la nature. L'intimité et la tranquillité, mais à 15 minutes d'Avranches et la visualisation du Mont St Michel ou l'autoroute A84 à n'importe où. L'endroit parfait pour un séjour calme, bien situé et convivial. Nous nous sommes fait de bons amis ici. Madame Gogo est l'ultime professionnelle au grand cœur.

Arrivée très bien reçu , la propriétaire est une très gentille personne. Abritel n'a mentionné en aucun cas que l'électricité était en plus . Le plus gros bémol est la propreté : Je précise mes propos juste en ajoutant qu'il ne faut pas s'attendre a avoir du propre ... Juste un léger voile de nettoyage en surface , lit avec cheveux sur les protections qui elle même laisse a désirer . Je ne donnerai pas plus de détail . Il faut vraiment avoir une bonne femme de ménage pour vos logis et surtout '' nettoyer vos salle de bain '' cela peu être vieux mais propre ! Nous avons réglé le ménage en partant mais je ne peu m'empêcher de sourire . A Part cela car je me dois de le mentionner , l'endroit est vraiment super sympa.

Très bonne surprise

Nous avons passé un excellent week-end familial. Ce fût une très bonne surprise, le gîte est bien mieux que décrit dans l'annonce!! Nous avons pu dîner près du poêle, le gîte est très bien chauffé et surtout très propre. Le gîte propose d'accéder à l'étage par deux escaliers (les deux côtés à l'étage ne communiquent pas) ce qui permet de ressentir un peu d'intimité et surtout d'amuser les enfants (les parties de cache-cache ont été longues). Les personnes rencontrées ont été adorables et prévenantes. Il est certain que nous y retournerons pour le plus grand plaisir de tous (petits et grands)!!
