After getting married in September, my husband and I had to wait a few weeks (both being teachers) for our half term 'mini moon'... It was certainly worth the wait! The gîte was beautiful - the perfect charming, rustic Normandy hideaway situated in the village of Courcy. The owners, Monsieur and Madame Césbron, were lovely and couldn't have even more helpful. The accommodation was very comfortable for two with all the facilities we needed, including wi-fi for my technology obsessed husband! We didn't use the outdoor pool due to the time of year, but would love to visit again in the summer and possibly hire 'Le Grange' - a stunning newly converted barn, fusing ancient and modern on the same site.
Courcy is perfectly situated for day trips to Bayeux, Honfleur, Lisieux etc. and the surrounding countryside in the Pays d'Auge was great for country walks. Highly recommend.
