lovely holiday

Mrs JQ UK
Review Submitted: November 3, 2009 Date of Stay: August 2009
if you are looking for a lovely, peaceful, clean, and relatively close to beautiful places to explore, this would be the place to stay! The inside of the cottage looked traditional and is a lot more spacious than we expected. We enjoyed cooking in the kitchen and exploring the gardens. We definitely enjoyed our stay in the cottage, driving around Normandy, and would highly recommend this property to friends!

A* cottage

Michael and Frances Carmarthen, Wales,
Review Submitted: November 1, 2009 Date of Stay: October 2009
We made a late booking for 3 nights in October 2009 and couldn't have found a nicer place for a restful "away-from-it-all" stay. The cottage is exactly as described - comfortable and full of charm. The wood-burning stove was brilliant and we made good use of the bikes to explore the quiet country lanes and villages nearby. The owners were helpful and thoughtful, giving lots of detailed information on places to visit,etc. We certainly want to book again next year.

Relaxing rural experience

Ian and Clare Lymington, Hants, UK
Review Submitted: April 19, 2009 Date of Stay: April 2009
We spent four nights in this charming cottage in the rural countryside of Calvados. The cottage and its grounds provided us with a real tase of life in rural France. The cottage adequately catered for all of our needs. Our favourite feature was the wood burning stove. The grounds were beautiful and teaming with bird song and wildlife. A short walk from the cottage reinforced the rural experience. Yet it was not miles away from local amenities: a short car ride took us to nearby towns where we could purchase our food and relax in cafes. The owners were polite, friendly and helpful. We shall be sure to return again.
