A perfect holiday
There are so many good things we could say about our stay in this beautiful and peaceful gite. It was our aim to find a quite place to rest and recharge, and we certainly found it here. An excellently well equiped 'home from home', with a warm welcome from Brigitte and Daniel and the best shower you could wish for. We can't wait to return.

Beautiful, quiet gite in lovely area
Had a lovely week in this pretty gite, we very much enjoyed the nearby cows and the absolute peace and quiet. The owners were nearby but not at all intrusive, and very helpful. The gite is ideally situated for visiting lots of nearby towns and places of interest. We visited Arromanches, the DDay beaches and museums, we also loved the nearby towns of Vire and Villedieu-les-Poêles. The gite had everything necessary for a good stay and the beds were very comfortable too. We hope to return in future. Thank you so much.

A peaceful, rural location
This was a lovely, quiet spot. The space downstairs was great, and the bathroom good (especially the shower). The downside was the kitchen - a vast quantity of crockery, cutlery and glassware but little ‘cooking equipment’. A few small saucepans without lids, no baking trays etc. You might also want to bring your own bath towels. Lots of towels provided but absolutely tiny and thin!

Great gite in a beautiful area
The gite was lovely, very clean and had everything we needed in it. It was in beautiful, peaceful surroundings and yet fairly close to a small local town. We had clear directions on how to get to it from the owner and good communication before our stay. I've marked communication as a 4 - purely because we need to improve our french so we could communicate with the owners more!
