“Peaceful place with warm-hearted hosts”
Spacious and well-equipped room that was really nicely furnished. Very kind and warm-hearted hosts that made sure that we would feel welcome. Quiet and peaceful place with a lovely garden where you can sit and relax. The communal kitchen offered everything you need to cook. Great breakfast with a nice atmosphere. And above all: all the lovely animals we got to know!

“Quiet place with great hosts.”
I was looking for something in Normandy close to the D-Day beaches and I wasn't really expecting much. However, I was blown away. The host Nicolas and his wife were very friendly and helpful. The breakfast was great - home-made yoghurt, local cheeses and fresh croissants. You could sense the history of the place. The villa was quiet and peaceful, the rooms were spacious and the bonus were the farm animals. I wish we'd stayed longer.

“An ok stay.”
We had a large room and the bed was comfortable. However there was no heating and we felt cold. There was a radiator but it only comes on when needed! It was 12C outside. The proprietor had heating! Just heating for an hour in the morning and evening would have been sufficient. The breakfast was ok but we have had better.

“Relaxing stay supported by the feeling that I am the welcome GUEST.”
The room was large and offering full comfort, nicely designed, convivial breakfast was largely sufficient and the owners and communication with them just a cherry on the cake.
