un bon séjour

Bel endroit calme,bon rapport qualité/prix... Il y a un effort à faire sur la communication et l'accueil : code boite a clés non transmis,ainsi que celui de Sky TV. L'éclairage électrique est insuffisant et la batterie de cuisine est à renouveler. Néanmoins ces détails,un séjour agréable bien apprécié des petits !

Wunderschöne Normandie

Positiv: Das Haus liegt sehr ländlich. Wir haben die Ruhe sehr genossen. Wir waren zu viert. Jeder hatte sein eigenes Zimmer, konnte sich somit auch mal zurückziehen. Die Lage des Hauses ist ideal für Ausflüge an die Küste. Das Haus hat kein Wlan, der Netzempfang war aber ausreichend. Einkaufsmöglichkeiten/Tankstellen sind in der Nähe. Negativ: Wer so wie wir gern kocht, muss mit den wenigen Kochtöpfen jonglieren. Die Gartenmöbel brauchten erst einmal eine gründliche Reinigung, bevor wir sie benutzen konnten. Insgesamt stimmt das Preis-Leistungsverhältnis.

Compleet huis, prachtig gelegen

Goed. Helaas was het uitzonderlijk slecht weer dus niet buiten kunnen zitten om te genieten van het prachtige uitzicht. Beneden wat donker, kwam ook door het weer. Keuken compleet uitgerust. Op zolder staat een pooltafeltje, daar heeft onze zoon veel plezier aan beleefd. Fietsen allemaal verouderd of met lekke banden. Tip aan verhuurder: laat geurstokjes achterwege, als je daar niet van houdt kan dat heel hinderlijk zijn. Verder is omgeving echt prachtig!

Prima vakantiewoning

Het is een prima woning. Heel rustig gelegen. Van alle gemakken voorzien. De omgeving is prachtig, er is een ruïne van een abdij in de buurt. Wel moet je voor de meeste activiteiten een stuk rijden.

A beautiful converted Normandy Stone farmhouse

We greatly enjoyed our stay, the house was well equipped, clean, roomy and comfortable; the BBQ was a hit with the kids. We particularly enjoyed the local villages and the nearby town of Villedieu-les-Poêles as well as the spacious beaches at Bréville-sur-Mer and we’d certainly recommend it to anyone for a quiet family holiday!

Fabulous Family Holiday Home!

This lovely old farmhouse has everything for the perfect family holiday. There was plenty of room for us all (6 in total). First holiday with toddler granddaughter and it was great. Comfy beds, fully equipped kitchen with all manner of little extras, constant hot water, great outdoor space with plenty of games, bikes, bbq etc to keep everyone entertained. The location is in stunning countryside with beautiful walks and only 30 mins to some of the best beaches in Normandy. We are already planning to return next year!

Lovely house, gorgeous views

We organised our stay at the last minute and had lots of queries which Lindy sorted very quickly and patiently! The house is comfortable and really well-equipped with all sorts of things including washing-up liquid, soap, barbecue, salt and pepper etc, so we didn't have to rush out to the shops first thing. Lots of tea towels and blankets. The beds and bedding were comfortable and we slept really well. Also, there was lots of hot water! It's beautifully situated on a quiet lane with just a few houses nearby. The valley views are just gorgeous, especially from the upstairs double bedroom. The nearest town, Gavray, is picturesque and has everything you might need day to day including a supermarket and tourist information. We loved the mini-golf and beautiful abbey, both very close by, and the Tuesday market at Villedieu. We would highly recommend the old farmhouse for all who wish to get away from it all. Thank you Lindy.

Great value, peaceful rural location!!

Booked relatively last minute, the owner was very accommodating and helpful. The house is in a very peaceful location, is well equipped and excellent value, great to have DVD, Satellite and toys there for the kids (when the rain came), beach at Jullouville (near Granville) was fantastic, as where the Normandy Landing beaches and Bayeaux. The Garden backing on to the field of cows was great, the kids loved the cows, however you will need to watch young children very carefully as the farmers field is surrounded by an exposed electric fence.

Relaxing Holiday in France

We would recommend this house if you need quiet and relaxing holiday with your family. House is really nice with a lot of space, plenty things to keep your kids busy on the raining days. Very quiet and beautiful location, good base point from which you can make day trips. Very interesting old abbey within walking distance from house. Close to shops in small but lovely Hambye or bigger Gavray. If your husband like mine is passionate fisherman plenty of nice rivers to fish not far from house. You can get day tickets from library in Gavray. Close to pretty sandy beaches and if you don't mind travel longer than 45 min you can visit famous Mont Saint Michael. Anna & Neil

Relaxing stay

If your looking for a nice break away in idea lic French countryside then look no further. The farmhouse has amazing 180 views and comfy enough for two families. My kids loved the attic room, felt the cupboard in that room was like Narnia. The farmhouse is a short drive from Gavray where 8 du huit the local shop is well stocked. The boulangerie and boucherie has some of the loveliest meat and fresh bread. The farmhouse is well situated for all local historical events especially Normandy beaches. We spent the day in Granville and St.malo and the beaches are first class. If you have time visit Mont St.Michel it's really worthwhile and there is a free bus ferry service to and from.. The parking is around 12euro30 all day. Diesel of the beaten track is cheaper 1euro29. All in all the farmhouse is well maintained and very safe secure.. The only thing I missed was Wifi but you can get free wifi in Gavray. Lindy was very easy to deal with and keeps you well informed. Property was clean and rustic, I would recommend to friends family.

There are plenty of things to do in the area , u can go swimming at Montmartin sur mer or at the piscine in Villedieu. Overall we enjoyed our stay and we highly recommend it . greetings

Real French countryside - ideal for two families

A lovely house: cool on hot days, cosy when cooler. In a beautiful position with a pleasant garden and a fine view of fields and hills; lots of paths and tracks to explore nearby. Newly decorated bathroom; excellent washing machine; comfy sofas; lots for children to play with. Superb local bakers and butchers, as well as great street markets, particularly at Villedieu on Tuesdays (amazing fish stalls). A great place for a family holiday, uniting country and seaside attractions.

Very Peaceful and Tranquil Retreat

What a beautiful old house. We enjoyed a lovely week visiting local amenities. There are many magnificent beaches about 20 mins drive away. The children enjoyed collecting shells!. It was so enjoyable to wake up to the stunning views every morning. The children found plenty to amuse them, ball games, sandpit, large garden, lots of bikes. There is satellite TV and lots of DVD's to choose from.
