Lovely traditional French property, had everything we needed. Excellent hosts who offered great recommendations for places to visit, markets and brocantes. Our little dog had a wonderful time meeting the hosts dogs, and inviting himself into their home (sorry). Would recommend

What a lovely cottage! We felt so at home and it was very relaxing 10 days in Normandy. Our dog Lou Lou loved it as well and got along very well with the animals on the estate. Kelly and Tony are fantastic owners and hosts. Just brilliant and we hope to come back!

A lovely spacious property in a rural setting with lovely views. Welcoming hosts both human(Tony &Kelly) and animals. The property was perfect for our pooch. The main bedroom is very impressive as well as the attic room, except the attic room requires some draw space for T shirt knickers etc. A perfect place to visit Granville and The Mount of St Michael. There is a fantastic butchers in Roncey and a small supermarket (well stocked) with fuel station in Hambye (both 5 min drive away). regarding finding the property once you leave the village with the church on your right look for a sign hanging from a tree to your left stating Tower Cottage we missed this!!

Lovely cottage in Normandy countryside

Peaceful location, with plenty of space for 4 people, both indoors and outdoors. Great to have a pool as well as outdoor seating to relax, with countryside views and horses, donkeys, cats and dogs nearby. House has plenty of bathroom options, with the main en-suite having both a good shower and a traditional bath. All in all, a great place to spend a relaxing week, with easy access to many Normandy sites, such as the local Hambye Abbey.

Beautiful Cottage Wonderful Hosts

Food, wine, and views! We loved every minute in Normandy and could not have asked for a more perfect setting or experience. The cottage is in close proximity local markets, historic sites, and coastal towns. Also the finest oysters, sausage, gallettes, cheese, and wine. We also loved relaxing on the beautiful estate surrounded by nature and sweet animals We look forward to coming back! Thank you, Kelly and Tony, for your hospitality. So much fun!

We had the most warmest of welcomes from Kelly and Tony. The property is in a beautiful location, with rustic charm. To enhance a guest’s stay, the cottage would benefit from a Guest Information Folder, giving details on how to use appliances and listing local shops and places to visit etc. There is no heating in the cottage, other than a wood burning stove in the lounge, which was very welcome in the evenings. Lovely large bathroom with excellent shower. It was lovely to meet the owners friendly pets - cats, dogs, horses and donkeys. As other guests have previously mentioned, there are a lot of flies that come into the cottage as there is a neighbouring farm.

Hi As per the climate section of our listing it is clearly stated that the only source of heat is a wood burning stove. There are also oil reserve space heaters for bedroom areas if needed in the master bedroom closet. Must have missed them Sincerely Kelly

This is a beautiful cottage in a very peaceful location. The pool is fantastic set in lovely grounds where you can watch the Horses and Donkeys walking by. Kelly and Tony are fantastic hosts, on hand next door if needed. We explored the WW2 beaches which was just under an hour in the car. We also visited the coast to the west which was about 25 minutes by car. Overall we fully recommend it.

Week-end à la campagne au calme

Nous avons apprécié ce gîte champêtre avec beaucoup de caractère au cœur de la campagne. Une piscine est à 20 mètres du gîte. Malheureusement, nous n avons pas pu nous en servir à cause de la météo. Nous avons apprécié le poêle pour les soirées un peu fraîche. Les salles de bain sont très spacieuses et bien équipées. Les hôtes sont charmants et américains. Nous avons été très bien accueillis mais il est préférable de parler anglais pour échanger avec eux.
