Photos and Description of the Calvados vacation cottage rental Comfortable, traditional self-catering gite with friendly French neighbours

Excellent country location on edge of a small village. Only two houses in our short lane, surrounded by farms but not isolated, as there is easy access to good roads for exploring. Our French neighbours look after the cottage for us so that the hedges are trimmed and the grass cut before the arrival of our guests. Grass cutting is not guaranteed when M Dufay is away, however. Mme Dufay cleans the house and prepares the linen and towels for those who are hiring it. We are in the country but close to other villages and a lovely town called Falaise. Every time we go, they have made another improvement to the planting or roads or town square. Smashing people, very welcoming to guests and the shopping in Falaise itself is first class. Dining ranges from family to gastronomic, with budgets to suit all pockets & tastes. We particularly like restaurant L'Attache near the Super U supermarket and La Fine Fourchette,where you can have a superb 4 course menu for under £20 each.

Our gite is in the hamlet of Treprel, which is next to Pierrepont. It is located off a D road and set on the edge of the beautiful Suisse Normande, an area of outstanding natural beauty, for those who are exploring the area for the first time. There is a church with bells nearby together with horses and cows in the fields. For bird-lovers, we have been advised by guests that it's stunning. There is fishing, golf & calvados tasting in the locality. Falaise, which is 6 miles from Pierrepont, has all amenities and is well placed to visit the Normandy Landing Beaches, as well as explore this fascinating and welcoming part of France. In Falaise itself, there is a new Water Park, Castle, Churches and a Chateau. The shopping is excellent, with 3 supermarkets, gift shops and a number of restaurants, bars of cafes, each with their own particular French ambience.

Just Perfect

Ziggy-Z Gillingham, Kent, England
Review Submitted: May 13, 2009 Date of Stay: May 2009
Myself and my new husband thought it was a really wonderful place. We stayed there for our honeymoon and it really could not have been better. Plenty of space and fresh air, the house was just perfect, with all you could want and need. It was charming and very welcoming. The house was great for newly weds like us, for friends who want to chill and chat and is also excellent for a family with space for children to run around, free use of bikes, table tennis and more... In fact we will be back with my children. The sounding area is great for exploring and loads to do or not what every takes your fancy. We loved it and have recommeded the house to every one we know. Thank you Zoe and Andy.
Owner's Response: Andy/Zoe you are most welcome. We really appreciate your recommending the cottage to your friends and look forward to welcoming them. M et Mdme Dufay were pleased you liked the flowers, which Mdme Dufay chose carefully for a romantic couple.
