Had extended family (12 of us) all staying in one place including a toddler, young kids, tweens and 6 adults! The place was perfect for what we needed. The pool was a big win, excellent amenities in terms of crockery, glasses, cutlery kitchen equipment etc. Garden was lovely and we had almost no complaints. The only comment we have is that the property is very tired and must be very difficult for Marianne to keep clean by herself. This is not a major complaint from us as there were several children and lots of us so would have felt very uncomfortable trying to keep an immaculate house clean!!! This is not an immaculate house. Some of the sockets are loose and there are fixtures/fittings in need of repair. One of the chairs collapsed when we sat on it(!) But again this is not a complaint, it is probably a plus for such a large family in one place. We left it cleaner than we found it :) Marianne was lovely and showed us the old photos of the place and the work that was done (and is still to do!). I loved looking at the derelict parts and considering whether I could find £250,000 to buy it!! All in all an excellent stay and I would book again. But just a word of warning for others - it is rustic, French countryside shabby chic...sans le chic. Extra thanks to Marianne who was next door on hand whenever we needed but not too much that we felt uncomfortable. Merci Beaucoup! A bientot!

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.

Cadre agréable et propriétaire aux petits soins
Cadre agréable et propriétaire aux petits soins
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).

Unique property/Great host
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.
