Lovely property, quiet location

We had a great family holiday here. The location was quiet with great views. Room to play with the kids around the property, satellite TV and Blu Ray player too. Best of all no WiFi so spent plenty of time together as a family! Nice amenities at the site.

Delightful cabin in a beautiful setting.

We had a most enjoyable holiday at the cabin, which although compact, was very well equipped and comfortable. We had bicycles with us and just a warning, the hill up to the lodge is very steep! Also a suggestion, WI FI would have been an advantage. Overall a most pleasurable stay.

Wonderful peaceful setting, fabulous accomodation with excellent facilities

We had such a lovely short stay in this peaceful log cabin. The log cabin itself was much larger than expected and was fully equipped with everything you could possibly need. The facilities on the site were superb. We used the pool and play areas every day. There is a fantastic golf club and lake right on your doorstep and the log cabin is centrally placed for exploring all the attractions of the area. The balcony and veranda were the perfect places to relax, take in the views and listen to the sounds of birdsong with a glass of wine. We left feeling very relaxed and would definitely like to return one day.

Everything the description said and more. One to come back to.

Myself, my wife, our daughter (17) and her boyfriend enjoyed a fantastic 2 week holiday here in July/August. The chalet is spacious, clean and well equipped throughout with separate bathrooms with showers for the ground floor/master bedroom and the upstairs bedrooms which was a bonus. We spent a lot of time relaxing on the deck which gets the sun all afternoon and evening while the balcony upstairs gave “the kids” somewhere to escape to. With all the chalets being privately owned the park itself was very quiet and peaceful. The large heated pool was fantastic – the roof was open or closed depending on the weather so even on the odd couple of days it rained we still used it. It never got too busy and we had it to ourselves a few times. There is also a fitness room with a bike, rowing machine, table tennis and a foosball table. The crazy golf takes some practice (putters and balls are in the chalet). While there is no oven the gas hob, microwave, slow cooker and BBQ on the deck were more than sufficient to keep us well fed when we were not eating out (The Hotel de France in Vire has a good French menu at fixed prices). The Utile supermarket (like a Tesco Express) is less than 10 minutes away for all the basics including fresh bread without going into town. The bigger supermarkets, including Lidl, are on the north side of Vire but again no real distance. The town centre has plenty of free parking and a decent range of shops, bars and restaurants while larger stores and a bowling alley are out with the supermarkets. To the west, the sandy beaches south of Granville (great for fresh seafood) are about an hour away and were not at all crowded. Caen (great shopping), Bayeux (tapestry) and the Normandy landing beaches are about the same drive time. Mont Saint Michel is worth a visit but either go very early or late as it’s a tourist hotspot. The mountain of tourist information provided in the chalet ensures there is something for everyone. This is definitely on our “must return one day” list. Debbie, the owner, was always helpful and very responsive and nothing ever seemed like too much trouble. Highly recommended.

Hello Karin Apologies for the swimming pool being closed during the days that you were at my property. Unfortunately I only received an email on the 6th to say that the pool would be closed until the 12th for repair. I assumed it was closed on the 6th but clearly it was before that date. I only advised the next guest as you were leaving the following day. With regard to the Gym I apologise, I had removed these details from the main listing but hadn't realised they were still under sub headings. Originally the gym was at the back of the pool but following severe storm damage to the building it was removed. It may be re-built in the future. I hope you all enjoyed the stunning views and many activities in the area . I hope you would like to visit again in the future. Kind Regards

Week-end sportif

Nous avons passé 5 jours placés sous le signe du sport : vélos, piscine, promenade et même porter les poubelles, c'était du sport!!! Nous avons visité le site " Le Mont Saint-Michel", nous avons adoré! Nous aurions pu prendre les navettes mais nous avons décidé de tout faire à pied. Nous avons eu la chance d'avoir un long week-end très ensoleillé. Seul petit bémol, la chaudière qui nous a fait des farces... 😉 Merci à Debbie pous son aide à distance et à Andy sur place. Le site est somptueux, parfait pour une remise en forme et se détendre. Fred et Nico.

Genial estancia para caminar, descansar y disfrutar de Normandia

Pasamos una semana en familia, la casa tiene todas la comodidades y es realmente confortable, los exteriores para cenar invitan al descanso., nos sentimos como en casa. La piscina también permitió buenos momentos de relax, siempre limpia y en un ambiente muy tranquilo, como todo el entorno. Permite hacer senderismo con varias propuestas cerca o a una hora en coche (bosques, costa, etc), el lago de la dathee también es fabuloso para ir a andar, hacer kayak, correr. Toda la zona invita al descanso, es muy tranquilo y de gran belleza. Gracias especialmente a Debbie que nos facilitó la comunicación en todo momento. Esperemos volver a repetir y lo recomendamos, fue una semana realmente genial que no olvidaremos.

Bon séjour, je recommande

Séjour agréable, dans une belle région. Le chalet était très confortable et très bien équipé (lave linge, lave vaisselle, TV, lits confortables, draps et serviettes de bain fournis). Le seul bémol, la propreté du chalet : pas mal de toiles d'araignées et de poussière, heureusement que nous n'étions pas allergique!! Site agréable avec jeux pour enfants, piscine (malheureusement non chauffée lors de notre séjour, la pompe à chaleur étant en panne, mais nous nous sommes quand même baignés, car la piscine est couverte), terrain de golf, pétanque, tennis de table. Peut-être préciser qu'il faut pas mal prendre la voiture pour faire les visites. Dans l'ensemble, bon séjour, je recommande. Hôte agréable.

superbe domaine

Nous avons trouvé un beau chalet au calme dans la verdure loin de tout bruit avec une belle vue. Chalet confortable le plus chaque chambre est équipée d'une salle de bain et wc privatif. Une loueuse répondant à chaque demande dans la demi heure qui suivait. Nous n'avons pas pu utiliser la piscine à cause d'une mauvaise météo dommage mais les ballade près du lac et toutes les visites des points importants de la Normandie ont pu être réalisé. Une mention spéciale au restaurant la Badiane à Vire (Parfait)

Maison atypique dans un cadre tranquille

Nous avons énormément apprécié la gentillesse et la disponibilité de Debbie qui a toujours été là lorsque nous avions des questions (avant d'entrer dans la location et pendant notre séjour). Dans le chalet tout était prévu pour nous simplifier les choses (deux classeurs avec manuels, modes d'emplois...) Le chalet est bien achalandé, il y a même des livres sur les vins et les fromages français (en anglais) Nous avons été moins emballé par le chalet en lui-même (un peu acrobatique) et surtout assez humide. La météo ayant été particulièrement affreuse, nous avons mis le chauffage le matin...La région est agréable mais il n'y a pas grand chose à faire, hormis si on est un randonneur passionné...Du coup le budget essence a un peu explosé :-) A oublier avec des ados qui n'aiment pas marcher, qui veulent voir la mer ou se baigner au moins dans une piscine chaude car elle était particulièrement froide à cause de la météo! Bref, nous avons apprécié mais nous ne reviendrons pas, surtout à cause de la région, jolie mais sans intérêt particulier.

Our idyllic retreat August 2020

Myself,my husband and our 13 year old son were over the moon when we found this lovely property in this beautiful, rural location in Normandy. Set in a residential holiday park above Lake Dathee. This property ticket all the boxes . Spacious, clean , homely,all amenities were catered for . True to the description on the website. My husband and our son are golf addicts and were warmly welcomed at Lake Dathee golf club by locals and the expat community. A par 71 which is the trickiest test of golf the pair of them have ever played . Truly manicured greens and lush well kepted fairways , welcoming club house , this is an ideal way to spend a whole day !! For the standard of the course , very reasonable prices €99 for the pair of them , with the hire of clubs and trolleys. The property is within easy distance of Vire the local town, and about 45 minutes to granville. We had plans and tickets to visit Christian dior childhood house in granville and to visit the 24 hour race museum at Le Mans which is only 1.5 hours drive away . Unfortunately our stay was cut short because of the covid pandemic. It was announced on Thursday 13th August 2020 that people holidaying in France had to be back in England by 4am Saturday 15th August 2020 or face 14 quarantine. Unfortunately because of work commitments,and not being able to quarantine at home we had no choice but to book an early train and leave 6 days early 😪😪 gutted If this pandemic ever clears up we will definitely be returning.

Dear Lisa & Colin, Thank you for your kind review. I'm glad you enjoyed your stay until it was cut short. Such a shame. Let's hope we get a vaccine soon and life can go back to normal. Hopefully you will return next year for a few rounds of golf and get to your other planned trips. Looking forward to your return. Debbie
