Very pleasant stay in a beautiful and spacious house
We stayed in this lovely house for a week. House had a very nice garden and terrace and is very quiet. House is well equipped. Shops are very close by. Is a nice base to discover Normandy.
We enjoyed our stay in this wonderful spacious house. Location is great to enjoy the Normandy. The owner Gérard is really nice, always available and he he turned the heating on when it got cold in July, which was really nice!!
Thank you again Gérard, we has a wonderful stay despite the rain.
We spent a lovely week in Normandy and were very happy with the stay in Baudre. Having a main floor bedroom and ensuite for my older father was a great option. The location was teriffic for access to roads to explore, and to amenities in St-Lo but in a quiet and peaceful location that feels like being deep in the countr
Well appointed property, comfortable, with many facilities, in a very quiet semi-rural location. Well served by several hypermarkets within easy reach. Saint-Lo is well worth a visit. More local emergency information needs to be provided in the 'purple' book, however, as well as all operating instructions for the appliances. A very enjoyable stay... so much so we would like to return next year.
We booked this property for 4 nights to roam and explore Normandy (in particular all WW2 remaining and site-seeing’s.
The owner of the property is a very nice and friendly person. The house is absolutely wonderful (big bedrooms, big living room, kitchen and bathrooms), literally everything is on board. Also the garden is really wonderful.
I would absolutely recommend others to book this property (house) for their next getaway!
Kind regards,
Toine (from The Netherlands)
The home was perfectly situated for what my family and I wanted to do during our stay in Normandy. I was traveling with my parents and the downstairs bedroom was a great setup for them (no stairs).
The upstairs had 3 bedrooms with another large bathroom and a separate water closet which worked great when everyone wanted to get ready in the mornings.
This home has a great backyard with an electronic pergola and screens. It is very easy to use Gerard is available to answer any questions. Very clean and well-appointed and we enjoyed our time.
Gerard and Valerie were great hosts and the city of Saint-Lo was charming and welcoming with plenty of cafes, bars, and restaurants to choose from.
Would definitely book again should our travels bring us back to Normandy.
Our family of 5 spent 3 nights at this house and absolutely loved it. The house is in a small commune just outside St-Lô. Plenty of room in house and a fantastic porch area with electric screens to keep bugs out. Restaurants and grocery about 5mn drive.
Only a mile away is the Chemin de Harlage which goes along Vire river through tons of quaint villages- a fantastic bike ride.
Landing beaches are a good hour by car and Mt St Michel was about 45mn.
We spent our third day exploring St-Lô which pleasantly surprised us. The town center has an excellent walking path through the old city walls, a great lookout tower and a gothic church partially rebuilt after WW2. A very quiet but beautiful city that was 95% destroyed in the war and is a hidden gem off the beaten path to avoid tourist crowds.
I highly recommended the house and the area.
We had a lovely stay here for 10 days which felt very much like a home from home. The house was spacious, comfortable, clean, well equipped and felt safe and secure in a small village Baudre. We visited all the Normandy landing beaches, the American Cemetery, Overload and D-Day Experience museums, Pointe de Hoc, Maisy battery, Pegasus Bridge and Caretan which were all 35 to 60 mins drive. We didn't make it to Mont St Michel. There were no real facilities in the hamlet but St Lo was only 5 minutes drive away with multiple supermarkets and a huge Decathlon. We used the table-tennis table and made good use of Netflix on a couple of rainy days. The GR221 footpath runs past the house so we enjoyed some runs and walks down to and along the river La Vire. Gerard the owner was super responsive when we had some questions and checked in to make sure we were ok. Thank you Gerard.

Clean, modern and central to attractions in Normandy
We were a family of four: my husband, myself and two teenaged sons. The length of our stay was 6 nights. The place was roomy, and each of us felt we had our own space. The house looks much better in real life than in the pictures. We were able to relax in this peaceful location. The house is located in Baudre, France, set in the countryside , yet minutes from Saint Lo (a major town which was rebuilt after World War 2). It had everything we needed, and more (i.e. Net flix, Wifi, large outside patio with dining area, and even a ping pong table). Gerard and his wife, Valerie, the hosts, were so helpful and gracious.
If you are thinking of touring Normandy, you may consider renting a car with a GPS because it was extremely helpful in our navigation around Normandy. We went to the Eglisle Notre-Dame in St. Lo, Bayeux Tapestry Museum, Juno Beach and Museum (D-Day beach), Abbyaye aux Hommes (where William the Conquerer is buried) & Abbaye aux Dames, the botanical garden in Caen, Jardin D'elle Villiers Fossard, Mont Saint-Michel, and the beach side town of Agon Coutainville. We had an delicious dinner at Bistro 59 in Saint-Lo.
We absolutely recommend this place for anyone who wants to visit Normandy.

Merci pour votre commentaire bien sympathique. Cela a été un plaisir de vous confier notre maison pour vous permettre de vous poser un peu et de visiter notre belle région.
Merci Barbara à vous, votre mari et vos deux enfants.
Bisous à vous quatre.
Ps : Nous aimerions aussi visiter le Canada dans les prochaines années et nous aurons certainement besoin de vos conseils.

L’hôte a répondu très rapidement au problème rencontré à notre arrivée (plus de gaz). La maison est très bien située et bien agencée. Le point négatif est que la propreté n’était pas au rendez-vous C’est dommage…
Gite bien situé, commerces et autoroutes à proximité pour les visites. Extérieur et quartier calmeParking TB - espace de la maison idéal pour famille/groupe d'amisRépond rapidement aux messages et a résolu le soucis d internet rapidement - merci Un peu déroutant de se trouver dans la maison du propriétaire avec des photos personnelles au mur et des endroits/meubles non accessibles. Propreté un peu négligée.Nous avons cependant passé un excellent séjour.

Bonjour Carole,
Vraiment désolé si comme vous dites, le ménage a été négligé, nous tâcherons d’être plus vigilant à l’avenir.
Sinon, vous ne m’avez pas compris, toutes les pièces et meubles vous étaient accessibles excepté le garage. Je vous avais simplement demandé de ne pas boire les bouteilles de vins qui se trouvaient dans le meuble du séjour.
Je me suis permis de vous le dire puisque les derniers vacanciers s’étaient servi du whisky. 😀
Votre séjour s’est bien passé et c’est bien l’essentiel !
Merci encore
Gérard
Wir haben in einer Woche von Mont st. Michel bis Cherbourg die West- und Ostseite der Normandie bereist. Viele zauberhafte Orte, Barfleur, als einen genannt. Das Haus ist sehr großzügig mit viel Platz und einem tollen außen Bereich. Vielleicht wäre anzumerken, das das Haus wohl von der Familie selbst bewohnt wird und in Vermietungszeiten, Platz für Gäste geschaffen wird und das die Sauberkeit etwas zu kurz dabei gekommen ist. Aber das nur als kleiner Hinweis. Sonst liegt es absolut ruhig und ist toll.

Merci pour votre commentaire qui va nous inciter à d’être encore plus performant à l’avenir.

Für Familien optimal, man kann sowohl mit dem Fahrrad als auch per Auto viel unternehmen. Die Hauseinrichtung ist modern und die Betten gut. Alle Einrichtungen wie beschrieben vorhanden.Sehr zu empfehlen.
Mijn vrouw en ik hebben met het gezin van onze zoon met 4 kinderen 5 dagen verblijf gehad in deze riante woning. Locatie was top, woning bied veel faciliteiten en mogelijkheden, alsmede de vrije tuin om te spelen en buiten te eten etc. Een echte aanrader. We waren hier 5 dagen mbt een Normandië bezichtigingen.
We hebben een super vakantie gehad. Ons meest favoriete plekje was het overdekte terras met wanden tegen zon en wind.
Het zal moeilijk worden om dit in de toekomst te evenaren.
Maison agréable avec tout le confort et commodités nécessaires pour apprécier la région. L’hôte est très facilement joignable et très sympathique. Je recommande.
We enjoyed our stay in Baudre and the house provided a good base from which to explore all over. We did the landing beaches, the west Cherbourg peninsula beaches, had a great day at Normandie luge and zip lining all of which were within a 30-45 minute drive.
Saint Lo itself is worth exploring - we saw the horse show, enjoyed the swimming pool and the old town.
The house could have been a little cleaner on arrival and some BBQ utensils would be useful. The table tennis in the garden was a great hit and the house was a great space and perfect for exploring the area.
Schönes und großzügiges Haus in ruhiger Lage. Toll eingerichtet, dazu noch zwei gemütliche Terrassen. Supermarkt, Tankstelle und Restaurants in der Nähe. Sehenswürdigkeiten sind mit dem Auto gut erreichbar. Wandern kann man direkt vom Ort aus. Wir hatten einen sehr schönen Urlaub und können das Haus definitiv weiterempfehlen.
Nous avons passé une formidable semaine dans cette maison au calme. Elle est très fonctionnelle et idéalement située pour découvrir la Normandie.
Nous reviendrons sans hésitation.
