The hosts have made a few improvements to add to the general ambience since the last time, but we just love it anyway. It’s peaceful, has all you need and the huge garden is our happy place for the dogs. We will be booking again for next year and can’t wait to come back. ##### Linda D.

The rural location meant the peace and quiet was wonderful and was much needed! The gite is spacious and well equipped and within easy reach of some very attractive towns, some stunning scenery and all the humbling history that is associated with the Normandy D-Day Landings. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 7 nights in Oct 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mark B.

The house is very well equipped with everything you need. The negative point for me was the curtains in the main bedroom did not keep the early morning light out. ##### Mark B. Stayed 6 nights in Jun 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Linda D. Jun 10, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Amazing traditional French property This house was lovely. Three bedrooms upstairs and a family bathroom. The largest bedroom has an en-suite shower and sink. The ground floor is open plan and very functional. The best was the amazing huge garden and terrace. We had many a breakfast and evening meal on the patio furniture under the parasol. Listening to the peace and quiet, sound of the birds and nature. Whilst not totally dog proof, it’s almost. Kept our 2 dogs in anyway. There is every piece of equipment you could possibly need in the house. Very well equipped. And very comfortable. Could do with a lock on the ground floor toilet. But other than that the property was fab. The hosts were lovely and accommodating and couldn’t be nicer. All in all we are so glad we have rebooked to come back in early September and enjoy the same lovely forest walks with the dogs that we did last week. ##### Linda D. Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2023 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Diane M. Jun 3, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in Disliked: Location #### Disappointed There were a number of issues which we discussed with the Manager who looked after the gite. If you take your dogs you need to watch them as they could easily escape. We left 5 days early and came home. The furnishings in the living room are very old and tired and well past their sell by date. No tv channels in English which was in this day and age is unusual, albeit it was in the advert, but I did not see that. Beds needed attention due to very bad quality, whereby the springs were so compressed you virtually laid on the bed frame. My lads bed fell apart in the night, plus it turned out some of the slats were broken. After sleepless nights, we could no longer endure the discomfort, so we came home early, so hopefully these will be replaced. However location was beautiful, but quite a distance from supermarkets. The kitchen was well equipped. But we will not return to France as over the years we have endured deteriorating accommodations which is not really acceptable as the travel from uk to France is now expensive. However in fairness the owner did contact me with a contribution but it was not satisfactory as our holiday was already ruined. ##### Diane M.

Nous sommes arrivés dans cette maisonnette très mignonnette. Du cidre et des gâteaux normands nous attendaient sur la table avec un petit sapin de Noël. Dans toutes les chambres, les lits étaient fait avec les serviettes dessus et le ménage était impeccable. Nous avons pu visiter Argentan et Alençon juste après Noël et profiter des décorations et des festivités. Nous nous sommes également octroyé des moments de détente où nous avons pu allé nous promener à pieds autour du gîte. Les enfants ont pu profité du vaste jardin. Merci pour votre confiance et d'avoir partagé votre cottage avec nous. En vous remerciant Mme Huggs. Famille Rolland. ##### Frédérique R.
