Les 3 Fresnes is a 300 year old house....exquisite from the outside and with considerable charm inside.
Vincent, the owner, was very responsive and helpful. The house is well positioned in a quiet area close to Honfleur. The garden is beautiful and the swimming pool and surrounding area are lovely (although we were unlucky with the weather and could use it only very little).
However, we did have a number of reservations regarding our week, which marred our experience. At the time we booked the house, it was described as 5 bedrooms, which was important to us - a party of 8 adults and two small children - so my daughter and son-in-law could have their children in a separate room. As it turned out, one of the bedrooms was really a walk-through 'room' at the top of stairs, making it impractical for anyone in our group to use it as a bedroom. I see that this has now been changed on the website. Vincent did give us a small discount at the end of the week as compensation.
It was also the case that whilst the showers worked well the two toilets in the house were unpleasantly smelly.
In addition, quite a lot of the crockery, furnishings and linen could do with some updating, there was a lot of old and chipped crockery in the cupboards but, for example, not enough useable mugs, and the tea towels and oven gloves were old and dirty looking-hopefully Vincent will have already changed this; he was keen to understand our concerns.
