This holiday home is as advertised but the headline is misleading - bear in mind the Pool is a wobbly old pool table, and not a swimming pool. The oven doesn't work well at all (dinner takes forever to cook), and there are no warddrobes so no where to hang your clothes! The oddest thing though was there are no wash hand basins in either toilet room. This means that if you like to wash you hands after using the toilet, you have to go downstairs and through the lounge and kitchen to a sink in the bathroom. This wouldn't be such a big problem if it didn't wake the whole house up with the noise of the flooring. In our opinion this is just dirty and it wouldn't take a lot to put a basin in these rooms as they are plenty large enough.
The overriding memory from our stay though is the hostile email received from the owner after we departed. It was a bolt from the blue as the owner had visited us 30mins before we left and repaid our deposit, and collected the govt tax. She shook my hand and thanked me. The email however chastised me with venom for not following her 'rules of life'.
Having supplied a 5 page contract in French it turns our that leaving a light on is worthy of sending abuse. It was dark when we left so please forgive us! We put all rubbish in the bin, but alas we didn't use the provided bags, because weren't aware there were any provided, and all shops were closed for the first 24 hours of our visit. Why did you leave the bins without bags in if so important to you? To be clear you refunded the deposit in person at the premises, so your comments afterwards are staggering, pedantic, and very rude. After renting through OwnersDirect for the past 7 years without issue, this was the singularly the worst experience, not helped with the owner not speaking a word of English. Very disappointed.
By the way, the area is fantastic, and it is a short distance to see the Allied landing beaches and Bayeaux tapestry. Le Mont St Michel is also within driving distance and the roads are excellent.
