A charming, traditional cottage in Normandy

A complete getaway. A stone cottage set between farm and fields, this house offers peace and calm in a beautiful natural setting. The terrace is a perfect place for sunny breakfasts of croissant from the local boulangerie and candlelit suppers or card games with only the occasional cow for company. Traditional stone kitchen and sitting-room with log burning fire create a relaxing environment. The garden is great for kids to play football, table tennis, badminton and set up tents for overnight adventures. There are tennis courts and horseriding facilities nearby and amusement parks with go-karting, skating, trampolining, laser quest, treetop climbing and rides. Soft sandy beaches are a 20 minute drive away at Brehal and Granville. Historic places like Mont Saint Michel, Bayeaux and the Normandy landing beaches and museums provide interesting day trips.

Disliked: Cleanliness
Staying in early September 2023
The house looked full of potential but unfortunately in reality it proved to be internally dirty and outwardly completely unloved. What appeared to have ample storage cupboards were cluttered and full with no room for our provisions. Third bedroom carpet was horribly stained by leaking en suite shower. En suite Shower room on first floor had black mould between floor tiles with a dirty stained shower mat. Wooden kitchen draining board was slimy with black mould in grooves. Dirty kitchen sinks. Garden very overgrown with dumped rubbish. Not Dog friendly as advertised. Barbecue was badly cracked and looked unsafe to use. Drive and stoned parking / social area had many ingrowing weeds. The only plus was clean towels and clean bed linen. We left early as we felt as if we were camping every day.

Disliked: Cleanliness
Not what we expected
Overall the house was tired and old. Upstairs satisfactory. Downstairs kitchen. The oven burnt everything and the hob was uncontrollable to put to low temperature. The kitchen equipment old. There were no instructions for white goods. The electrics by the TV were exposed socket and dangerous . The house was dark and cold and we had to contact the owner for instructions to use the heating. The dustbin had wet old rubbish in so we couldn’t put refuse in bags in it and it smelt. Garden was overgrown and unkempt.
