Wonderful house in the country
This was a wonderful and peaceful place to stay at. The house was very clean and nicely decorated. It was obvious that this place was well taken care of. The host was very helpful and we would happily stay here again. Note that the online picture of the entrance to the house is on the side of the house facing away from the road. This made us a little uncertain when first trying to find the house,

A peaceful retreat, and lovely owners.
We really like this gite. Peaceful location, perfect for relaxation and local area is pretty with lots of nice villages and scenic drives. The weather is unpredictable, so an upgrade to the indoor seating would be nice for more comfort on rainy days. Overall, it's great!

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.

Relaxen pur in Mitten der Natur
Es war sehr schön, die Wohnung ist als Einzelobjekt zu mieten ohne Nachbarn , abgesehen von den Eigentümern. Es war sehr erholsam und jedem der Ruhe sucht zu empfehlen. Was ich besonders gut fand war die Nähe zu den Kühen. Da wird man wieder sensibilisiert in Punkto Fleischverbrauch ! Alles in Allem ein sehr schöner Urlaub. Die Wohnung ist top.
