A superb location for big sites such as Mont Saint Michel and the D-Day beaches. We really enjoyed exploring the lovely local coast such as Granville and Gouville-sur-Mer with its excellent oyster bars. The property is a real home from home, we really enjoyed cooking in the evenings and also had a barbecue. There is everything you need here and Roger and Mary are lovely hosts. They supply a welcome pack including milk, bread, butter - and even more importantly Cider !!! It was a great stay and we will definitely return.

Excellent holiday in Normandy

Lovely upstairs apartment, comfortable and very well equipped, with good parking and outside seating in a separate area of garden. Close to Hambye which is a pleasant village, with one of the best boulangerie / patisseries we've ever come across. Lots of local interest. We recommend the Abbaye de Hambye close by and Coutances and the Mont St Michel not too long drives.

Good Stay

We stayed here for a week in September. Roger and Mary are considerate hosts. Communication was very good before and at arrival. The gite is well equipped and a good size. It is in a quiet location in the midst of lovely countryside that is home to picturesque towns and villages. Within striking distance of the coast directly west and north. We enjoyed our stay.

Arcadia ( in France!)

Wonderful gite with everything you need to live in the French countryside. Totally relaxing with comfy bed and furniture. A great base for both coasts and lovely little French towns with genuinely welcoming locals. Lots of leisurely days out in the local area - but not for party animals! The hosts were so welcoming and kind, we were totally at ease. A masterclass in how to host a gite. Thank you.

What a place

A lonely place in the middle of green and nature. A spot from where to discover this part of the earth.Trips to the world of gothic abbeys and cathedrals, beaches with great historic importance, beaches to walk along and collect what the waves carried along, water to lie in and watch the sky and the clouds moving on, moving on. And wonderful hosts! A good decision, yes.

Great Normandy retreat

Lovely, well equipped property in a peaceful location set back from the road up a lengthy drive. Roger & Mary were the perfect hosts who were friendly & helpful yet inobtrusive. The property is very well located and acted as an excellent base to explore the surrounding area and slightly further, but more than reachable D Day beaches. The gite more than met our needs with both comfort and expectation & our hosts had created a tasteful and really well equipped home with a comfortable bed and excellent range of facilities for those wishing to cater for themselves. This included a picturesque outside seating area and private garden. We would highly recommend a stay at Roger and Mary's property and would not hesitate to book again when visiting the area in the future. Thank you both.

Ruhige Ferien in schöner Umgebung

Die Ferienwohnung liegt im ersten Stock eines alten kleinen Hauses, die Gastgeber wohnen nebenan. Die Wohnung hat alles, man braucht, genug Platz für Zwei, aber nicht mehr. Garten und Gartenmöbel ergänzen das Angebot. Die Gastgeber kommen aus England, für uns sehr gut, weil wir kein Französisch sprechen. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt. Die Ruhe ist phantastisch.

In the silence that restores

Roger e Mary , persone discrete ed ospitali che ci hanno offerto l’opportunità di godere di questi luoghi, di cui abbiamo apprezzato il silenzio che li circonda, i grandi spazi aperti e verdeggianti delle campagne circostanti e i piccoli paesi con i loro tratti caratteristici, ma soprattutto il silenzio.
