A beautiful country house that hosts a large party. Grounds perfect and the hot tub and pool were a huge plus along with the bikes and games room. The location was remote and you definitely need cars as taxis were non-existent. The barn owls and deer were a real treat along with the peace and quiet. Total relaxation.

Our extended family really enjoyed our stay at the Manor House. It has a real wow factor as you approach up the driveway, and this continues inside the house and in the garden. We ate most of our meals in the very lovely garden, and the kids loved the paddling pool and running around the garden. The house is very extensive, but has a homely and comfortable feel at the same time. We needed to contact Jane several times and she was always very quick to respond. The housekeeper who lives locally was extremely helpful and friendly. Jane provided very helpful documents with directions to the house, and information about the local area. A document with information about the house would have saved us from needing to contact her with some of our questions (e.g. information re using the jacuzzi; rubbish and recycling instructions). Rubbish and recycling needs to be taken into the village, which was a little bit of an inconvenience - our large party generated quite a lot! The kitchen is of course old (and lovely and characterful) and does lack storage space. The only other minor lack was that some of the bathrooms didn't have bath mats, and hand towels weren't provided, but I'm sure if we had asked for these, they would have quickly been provided. Overall, we felt very comfortable and happy in the house, and we really enjoyed our outings: a visit to the D day museum on Utah Beach, a lovely walk in the local marshes at the Maison du Parc, and a day at Carteret beach.

We enjoyed our trip at La Chevalerie, it was really a pleasure to sojourn in this property. The house is wonderfull with a lot of charms, Jane is very reactive and answered to all our questions very quickly. The commodities are amazing, we recommend ! Thanks Jane !

The house was easy to find, well presented with a wealth of historic features and large enough that our two families all had enough room to both come together and have alone time. Jane’s communication and openness to conversation as we ironed a few details out was excellent. We all had a really lovely, relaxing break.

This place has a soul like no orher. It has been beautifully restored, with modern amenities, whilst preserving its historical integrity. The house is fully equiped with everything you can possibly need. Picauville is super well located in Cotentin. The communication with Jane was easy and thougtfull.

Property excellent very well equipped & clean for weeks stay . Contact with owner first class . She left full instructions at the house and important numbers should they be needed. As we had children under 12 to travel to children’s activities was some distance . We all enjoyed Utah and Omaha beaches not far from property. Supermarket close by car . Other villages close but did not find them within walking distance . Would have been even better with a pool of some sort for kids . Gardens very child friendly. A great place to stay and would certainly recommend.👍
