Photos and Description of the Calvados vacation cottage rental A quiet self-catering rental that sleeps 7 near a small village

Le Coisel is an old blacksmith's cottage, parts of it hundreds of years old, laid out on one level in the heart of the quiet Norman countryside. The large lounge retains all the original features including oak beams, a terracotta floor and a generous stone fire place. The kitchens and bathrooms have been upgraded to a modern standard that retains the charm of the original without compromising comfort and convenience. The cottage is situated in a quiet lane about 300m from the little village of Crocy which has its own general store. There is parking for several cars and areas in the garden for sitting or barbecuing. Crocy is 7km away from the market town of Falaise and 30km south of Caen. An ideal place for a restful break or summer holiday with a garden for children to play in or for sitting and relaxing. We even have a petanque pitch so it will be ready if you fancy a game of boule before dinner.

The market town of Falaise is 7km away with a restored Norman castle and a fantastic Saturday market. The D Day beaches are an hour to the north with fine sandy shores and interesting museums. The Mulberry harbour at Arromanches and the well sign posted sightseeing route shows the recent history of the area. Well within reach are Bayeux, with the 900 year old tapestry of the Norman invasion and Caen with its children’s amusement park at Festyland, Abbeys, shops, gardens and restaurants. There is a new swimming pool in Falaise, cycling ( 2 cycles provided), golf and horse riding in the region. You can shop for antiques, take a coffee in the square, buy fantastic cakes or chocolates from the many artisans in the town. The Saturday market allows you to buy produce direct from the farmers including live ducks and chickens if you want them!

A wonderful time had by all

Blondie1976 Kent,England
Review Submitted: May 7, 2009 Date of Stay: April 2009
We have just had a very enjoyable second stay at the Old Blacksmiths. The cottage is very comfortable and has a home from home feel even with kids running around!
Very well equipped - kids enjoyed the bikes! While we enjoyed the sunshine in the beautiful garden.

Unique country accommodation

AceRimmer Arbroath, Scotland
Review Submitted: November 17, 2008 Date of Stay: August 2008
We were 3 adults and 3 children and we all had an excellent time at Le Coisel. Although the cottage is a little out of the way it's not that far to pop into the nearby villages or the fantastic town of Falaise. There are lots of places to visit a little further afield which certainly kept us busy for the whole week. The cottage itself is full of character and we were just happy spending a day there and in the large garden. We would also take nice walks along the almost deserted local country roads. A big thank you for the very warm welcome extended to us even after we arrived well after dark and later than we had planned. Martin G.
Owner's Response: We try hard to make sure all our guests have an enjoyable time on their holidays so it is nice to know it is working!

We had a lovely stay at Le Coisel and it will no doubt be somewhere we'll visit again (and be recommending to friends). The caretaker was very helpful and made us feel very welcome!

'We just wanted to let you know how much we enjoyed ourselves. The directions were great and easy to follow, Madame Langeard was helpful and very friendly, the house was everything we wanted. We were able to make ourselves at home & with 2 small chlidren - that is really important!. We saw lots of wonderful sights around Falaise, Caen and Lisieux & spent many happy hours in the beautiful garden with paddling pools, wine and cheese....perfect!. We're already planning next years trip.
