We had a wonderfull time. We were with 11 persons and I think that 12 is the maximum capacity. The house is ok , it's a pity the pool can't be warmed up. Very friendly and helpful landlady.

Résidence et environnements très calmes. Nous nous sommes vraiment bien reposés. Si l'on accepte de passer du temps en voiture, il y a de nombreuses activités autour. La propriétaire est charmante et très accueillante.

Marian se met en 4 pour ses hôtes (panier garni en arrivant, aller chercher du bois sous la pluie pour alimenter la cheminée...). Merci pour cet accueil chaleureux.

La maison à un rez de chaussée très adapté à une dizaine de personnes. La cuisine est très bien équipée, la salle commune est grande et permet des repas à 12. Le jardin est très joli et y prendre un apéro ou y faire un barbecue est très agréable. La chambre et la salle de bain du rdc sont très bien. Les chambres et salles de bain à l'étage ont sans doute encore besoin de rénovation surtout la salle d'eau. De manière générale., le rapport qualité /prix est bon et les évolutions prévues par la propriétaire ne peuvent que le rendre encore meilleur. Dernier point, la piscine hors sol est très grande et pratique pour les enfants. Un peu loin des sites des plages du débarquement. Commerces très sympas dans le village : 2 bouchers charcutiers, une boulangerie et un grand huit à huit (5 minutes en voiture).

This property is fascinating and unique - you're staying in history. It is rustic, but everything works, with comfortable beds and hot showers and an ample kitchen. It's also handicapped accessible on the first floor, which is rare in a home this old. The owner is a lovely host who has been restoring the home carefully and lives on site. She not only provided us with some supplies we had failed to bring the first night, but made us strawberries and cream! And she shared the history of the place with us. Plus, it's perfectly located for a day at Mont St. Michelle and a different day at the beaches of Normandy. We're so glad we stayed here! It made a trip that necessarily included a lot of very touristy stuff really special.

The location is spacious and located in a beautiful area with many options for unique day trips. Marian had a welcome basket ready for us with wine, cheese and a delicious cake in de refrigerator. The bedding was clean, only 1 set of towels for 1 week, showers and toilets were clean. We advise that the house and garden gets serious attention: cleaning up, cleaning and maintenance! Wooden floors from the upper floor make everything very noisy, greasy fingers and stains in the kitchen with crooked doors, oven was not clean, the fridge did not close properly, the sofa sagged, dust and cobwebs everywhere, dust and dirt under benches and in corners, lots of damp spots, leakage from the bathtub upstairs to the bathroom downstairs, the door handles are loose, the back of the building is not finished, the owner lets her dogs out on the property and does not tidy it up, the pool was green, 2 caravans are standing at the edge of the garden and 1 car and everything is about to perish. The photos shown are from long ago it seems, because it doesn't look neat now. Therefore we will unfortunately not recommend the location to family and friends. Our group (9 adults and 2 children) is happy to improvise and came up with solutions. It could be a very nice location again, but then it needs serious TLC from a number of skilled people. Would be good for the owner too, because she is very friendly.
