About this property

Perfect hideaway in a rural setting, yet only a 10 minute walk to the village.

Les Glycines, the french name for wisteria, is the name I chose for the gîte, as in the summer the walls are covered in beautiful purple flowers, with a heady scent!! The one bedroom gite attached to my house was converted in 2015. Previously the gite was two garages, storing cider barrels and bottles, sadly empty! The farmhouse is over 300 years old, a mixture of brick, cob & stone, and is not overlooked, except by the cows in a neighbouring field! You'll feel as if you're miles from anywhere, as there is 5000sq metres of land, plenty of green space, the cats enjoy it!

Les Glycines is situated in a small village called Cerisy-la-Foret, which is known for its 11th century abbey and modern sculpture park. A 10 minute walk and you're at the monks pond opposite the abbey, very picturesque. 5 mins drive in the other direction, and you're in the forest.

If it's a relaxing break for two you need, in a quiet setting, then look no further. However, you're not in the middle of nowhere, Bayeux and St Lo are close by, within a 25 minute drive. You have the best of both worlds!

Most people choose Normandy to explore everything they have heard about D-day. You won't be disappointed! Ideally situated for visiting all the D-day landing beaches with Omaha being the nearest, only 30 minutes away. There are plenty of military cemeteries and museums nearby.

Perfect home base for 2 people to explore Normandy
The pictures reflect the accommodation very well. Warm welcome from the landlady including a small personal greeting. Quiet location, very clean, lovingly furnished, well-equipped eat-in kitchen (stove, oven, microwave, coffee maker, fridge, dishes, etc.), stable internet, cozy sitting area at the back of the house. The landlady was always available to answer questions and provided us with lots of information about the surrounding area. Limited shopping facilities in the village. We felt very welcome and comfortable and would book this accommodation again at any time. Translated with DeepL.com (free version)

This gitte is a little gem full of love and care. My friend and I came to Cerisy la Foret for the concert of Luc Arbogast. But we got more than we bargained for. The gitte of Noreen is in walking distance of the Abbey and the centre of the village with a pub and a bakery. Port au Besson, chateau Balleroy all worthwhile a visit. As a guest of Noreen everything is taken care for. Lots of places to sit round the house and enjoy the beautifull garden. This is rural life at its best! Thank you, and your cats, very much for the best stay in Normandie you could ever whish for.

Tolle Unterkunft mitten in der Normandie
Das kleine Appartement ist sehr ruhig gelegen, rund herum gibt es viel Natur. Die nahe gelegene Abtei ist sehr sehenswert. Für Gäste die es sehr ruhig mögen, ist das die ideale Unterkunft. Die Gastgeberin ist sehr aufgeschlossen und warmherzig und hat sich immer gut um alles gekümmert. Das in der Ferienwohnung befindliche Schild "Enter as strangers - leave as friends" trifft voll zu. Wir würden auf jeden Fall wieder hinfahren!

Perfect hideaway
Noreen's gîte is een super romantische plek waar je kunt genieten van de rust en ruimte van het Franse platteland en tegelijkertijd een mooie uitvalsbasis om Normandië te verkennen. Bayeux, St.Lo en de landingsstranden zijn een half uurtje rijden. De gîte is knus en bevat alles wat je nodig hebt, zowel binnen als buiten is het heerlijk ontspannen. Enige aandachtspuntje: het bed slaapt heerlijk, maar als je langer bent dan 1.90 is het net iets te kort ;) Noreen is een gezellige gastvrouw, die er is als je haar nodig hebt. De twee katten maken het plaatje compleet! Kortom: aanrader!

This was a perfect spot to do the DDay sites. We loved the tranquility of being in the countryside. Gite was very clean and had everything we needed. Noreen was very hospitable even providing a baguette, cheese, tomatoes and cider for our arrival.

Very light, airy and roomy property. Let down by the quaint assortment of crockery and cutlery. Only one saucepan had a lid. Needs more storage space in kitchen area. A bit further to the village than we expected. The butcher was on his annual holidays!

A most relaxing time
We have just had a really lovely two weeks in this relaxing little gite. Noreen is a great Lady who does everything she can to insure you have a memorable holiday. We did have a few issues but these were dealt with quickly and efficiently. Our one and only criticism is that the outside seating area could be made more comfortable with a bit of TLC. Otherwise we are more than happy to recommend this gite to everyone who wishes to get away from it all.
