Great place to stay

We had a lovely timely staying here. The kids really enjoyed the wide garden to play in. It is a pretty tranquil location and a great base to explore the local beaches. There's plenty to do in the area, including lots of d-day meseums. The hosts were particularly lovely and very generous. We highly recommend!

Dear family. It was a real pleasure to have you in the gîtes. We try to treat each one like a member of the family and bring our best help when needed. We thank you for organising a bbq with the other guests in the other gîtes. Have a nice return to school children. Liliane

Very nice cottage

Welcome what very warm by the administrators couple. Although it was a terraced house, there was a lot of freedom around the house. Field suitable for recreational games such as badminton, etc. Cottage was fully equipped. Recommended for families.

We had a great Holiday ( 10 days )

We had a great stay. Terry and Liliane are very kind and help full. Visiting the Invasion beaches and War Museums our 10 days flew by too quickly. The cottage is neat and it gives you straight away a homely feeling. It is also nice that you can communicate in English. Terry and Liliane thank you for everything With Kind Regards Sander, Marco and Joop from Holland

Dear Joop, Sander and Marco, it was a real pleasure hosting you on your visit to Normandy last month. Thank you for being such conscientious guests, and for leaving the cottage so clean and tidy, and of course for your kind review - I only wish I could reply in Dutch as you did so easily in English. Terry and Liliane

Uitstekend ingerichte cottage

De cottage is precies zoals beschreven. We werden hartelijk verwelkomd door Terry en Liliane die alles hebben gedaan om ons verblijf zo plezierig mogelijk te maken. Zo hebben ze voor ons telefonisch reservering gemaakt En kwamen ze regelmatig met tips. De cottage is keurig ingericht en heeft alles voor een prettig verblijf met acht volwassenen. We gaan graag nog een keer terug.

Très bon séjour

Nous recommandons vivement cette location très bien située pour visiter la Normandie. Liliane et Terry nous ont accueilli chaleureusement et sont à notre écoute. Ils connaissent très bien leur région et proposent des sorties selon les goûts de chacun. Nous avons apprécié le panier d'accueil. Le gîte est très propre ainsi que les extérieurs. Pour les enfants il y a un vrai magasin de jouets à leur disposition et pour les parents un grand choix de livres. C'est avec grand plaisir que nous y retournerons.

Chère Odile, Nous vous remercions de votre revue pour notre gîte. Nous avons été ravis de vous avoir chez nous. Nous vous remercions également d'avoir laissé le gîte si propre et si bien rangé. Une grosse bise aux enfants qui nous ont apporté beaucoup de joie à les connaître. C'est avec plaisir que nous vous accueillerons, ainsi que votre famille, à nouveau. Merci encore. Liliane et Terry
