A pleasant gite in a lovely quiet location down the end of the lane. Lots of good walks nearby and a good base for visiting other areas of Normandy and the coast. Hosts live across the lane and are friendly and helpful without being intrusive.

We had a lovely 17 nights at La Cachette with our five year old Labrador who loved chasing her ball in the garden and in the river down the lane. We had a lovely welcome from Pat, Dave and Freddie their dog and there was a really nice starter pack of bread, butter, cheese, tomatoes, milk and cider - very thoughtful and a great start to our stay. The walk through the woods and by the river to Gavray, the local town is really pleasant and if you go on a Saturday there is a small market in typical French style. We went to the small hotel over the road from the market for a drink before walking back. La Cachette is in a great location with plenty of things to do and places to visit within an hour or so. We all loved our stay and would return in a heartbeat.

Hidden gem

A week equipped gite with pretty much everything you could need and well located to explore Normandy attractions as well as some quieter smaller towns and villages and beeches near by. The owners Pat & Dave are great, very friendly and attentive should you need anything, and a mine of information. We spent a great two weeks here and look forward to visiting again.

The Cachette was an absolute dream. We stopped for a few days between our visits to the Loire Valley and Paris and it was our favorite part of our trip. We ended up getting engaged there, so it will always hold a special place in our hearts! Pat and Dave are wonderful hosts and such sweet people. Freddie, their dog, is equally sweet and we wanted to steal him! If you’re looking for a comfortable, quiet place to unwind, this is it.

Petit but perfectly formed

This was the perfect place to relax and get away from it all. Very well equipped including a lovely 'welcome' pack and all that was needed to chill in comfort. A shame that our hosts were away and that both recommended restaurants were closed. We may well have to return if only to say 'hello' and sample the local cuisine. Do hope the cats are still thriving.

Idyllic and tranquil

Lovely little gîte, tucked away from the hustle of life. Some lovely walks from the property into the countryside. The gîte has most things that you would need. We had no wifi during our stay which was very frustrating. Nearest village has plenty to offer. Extremely friendly and helpful owner living across the road.

Thank you for your lovely comments. WI-FI in the gite was a problem with new Orange connections but it will be back for everybody in 2023. I can only apologise. Good luck with the house-hunt. Pat and Dave

Beautiful and Tranquil Setting

Lovely retreat in the French Normandy countryside. More suited to the customer wanting a quiet getaway than a lux setting. The host couple were fabulous, going out of their way to be of service. The bed was only a double sized, very little upstairs space, the bathroom was on the first floor down very steep and narrow stairs. Lovely below our expectations.

In the middle of nowhere but very pretty

La Cachette is a cozy holiday home, beautifully situated in the valley of the Sienne. It takes about 20 minutes to drive to the beach, interesting cities such as Grandville, Avranches or Coutances and small, picturesque towns make your vacation very interesting and varied. Not forgetting the magnificent beaches and promenades of Normandy. Pat and Dave are outstanding, gracious and helpful hosts. Many thanks for your great hospitality! A hug for Freddie too, of course. Stay healthy. All the best.

Heaven in normandy

Pat and Dave are very warm people who immediately make you feel welcome and at home. They are always there with advice or help when you need them, but also respect your privacy. For us, the lovely gite gave us a peaceful and quiet home for a week. We were supposed to stay for 6 days but stayed a day longer because we loved it so much. And to be honest, we would have stayed for a month if we could. The gite is in a very remote and quiet area but there are a lot of things to see and do close-by. The best of both worlds. You can also do beautiful walks in the area. And when you come home Freddy, the dog and the surrounding cows give you a nice welcome. We can only recommend this place and are very grateful for the warmth and care we received from Pat and Dave. We will go back for sure...

Un havre de paix

En pleine campagne, au calme, sans bruit, si ce n'est le chant des oiseaux, cette petite maison est idéale pour se ressourcer. A proximité des sites importants à visiter, il existe aussi beaucoup de promenades aux alentours. Les hôtes sont charmants et so british...

Peaceful place

Environnement très sympathique. Les hôtes aussi sont très gentils, avec un petit cadeau d'arrivée. La description du gîte n'est pas conforme aux prestations : il n'y a pas de lave linge, TV en anglais seulement. Intérieur un peu désuet, vieillissant. Petit bémol sur le ménage à l'arrivée. La nature est superbe, avec des randonnées au départ du gîte. Plein de monuments à visiter non loin du Mont St Michel. Sans ces petits désagréments, gîte à conseiller.
