Good communication from the host who was helpful throughout.The place was very clean and as described. A quiet location near to the beach. Perfect as a base to visit the area. Good parking at the property.Linen/towels/tea towels not provided.
Lovely place to stay, peaceful , quiet setting. y
Weather was great, pleasant area, great for a first time stay in France.
Good contact with the owner, Florence, lovely lady. Would stay there again.
The cottage was lovely. It was very clean and spacious and in a very quiet area, within easy walking distance of the pretty beach. The patio area was very private and peaceful and the large shared garden area behind the house was ideal for children. The cottage was well-equipped, especially in the kitchen, where there was a dishwasher and coffee machine. The cottage was charming and the sleeping arrangements were very comfortable, with two large bedrooms. Florence was a very attentive host, and provided timely information before our arrival. Checking in and out was easy and Florence was on hand if needed throughout. Thanks for a lovely stay, and the delicious cider! We'll be back!

Heerlijk verblijf gehad. Wat een comfortabel en sfeervol huis. Heerlijke tuin erbij. Zeer rustig gelegen en toch op korte afstand van meerdere bezienswaardigheden. Wij komen hier heel graag nog eens terug.

Ce gîte combine les qualités indispensables à un séjour reposant et réussi. Sa situation permet de bénéficier à la fois du calme de la campagne et de la proximité d'une plage bordant une mer magnifique. D'un point de vue pratique, on y trouvera toutes les commodités qui allègent les soucis du quotidien. L'espace, largement suffisant pour une famille, offre un cadre où la modernité n'a pas fait disparaître l'âme d'un lieu dont l'histoire est longue et s'inscrit dans celle d'une région on l'on aspire à revenir.

CFJ2025 - Championnat de France Jeune de Char à Voile - à Bretteville. Participants nos deux filles, 9 et 12 ans, avec leurs club Char à Voile Boulonnais. Fille de 12 ans 3iéme chez les filles en minime (podium), fille de 9 ans 4iéme benjamine. Leurs club CVB 2 club de France Jeunes.
Ein sehr schönes Haus.Das einzige was fehlte waren die Toilettenpapierhalter und ein bißchen Besteck zum Kochen. Aber das ist jammern auf hohem Niveau.
Nous avons passé un très bon séjour.Le gîte est bien placé, au cœur d’une impasse calme et arborée. Il est joliment décoré et bien équipé. Nous reviendrons avec plaisir.

Wir haben 2 Wochen zu viert (2 Erwachsene, 2 Kinder) in der Unterkunft verbracht und haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt. Das Objekt ist wie in der Beschreibung dargestellt und alles war sauber. Wir haben die Nähe zum Strand sehr genossen (fußläufig 15min mit trödelnden Kindern), aber auch die Strände in 5-10Autominuten entfernt sind sehr sehr schön. Der Garten ist für die Kinder ein Traum und auch im Haus selber ist alles bestens ein typisches Haus in der Normandie. Der Kontakt zu Florence ist ebenfalls sehr unkompliziert und sehr sympathisch. Absolute Urlaubsempfehlung für alle, die die rustikale Normandie zu schätzen wissen.

Thank you so much for everything and the photos.
Take care.
Das Haus ist zweckmäßig eingerichtet.
Kühlschrank war nicht korrekt gesäubert.
Ausstattung Geschirr nur zweckmäßig.
Lage ist gute ausgangsbasis für Ausflüge und nah zum Strand
Das Haus hat uns sehr gut gefallen. Es ist schön eingerichtet, hat eine große Terrasse mit einen wirklich großen Garten. Das Haus war sehr sauber und gepflegt. Nur die Küche ist etwas sparsam eigerichtet. Alles in den Schränken und Schubladen ist sicherlich 20 Jahre alt, es gibt kaum 2 gleiche Tassen, Pfannenwender etc. gibt es nicht.
Die Lage ist gut und sehr ruhig, das Doppelhaus liegt am Ende einer Sackgasse. Der Strand ist in 10 min zu Fuß zu erreichen.
Maison très agréable, jardin superbe et hôte charmante.
Le séjour s'est très bien passé ; il n'y a que le temps qui n'était pas de la partie.
Je recommande ce gite.
Grand repos dans un paysage qui reste soustrait à l'industrie du tourisme. Superbes plages, alternance de dunes et falaises, de havres et de petits villages côtiers au charme indéniable. Le climat, si souvent décrié, risque hélas avant longtemps, de faire du Cotentin un "must", une destination à la mode...

Mooi huisje op n fijne rustige en landelijke plek. Huisje is van alle gemakken voorzien.

Heerlijke plek om Normandië te verkennen.

thank you very much for your appreciation,

Ein wunderschönes Ferienhaus in völliger Ruhe und trotzdem nicht weit zum Strand. Auch mit weniger optionalem Sommerwetter lässt es sich im Ferienhaus sehr gut wohnen. Von dort aus konnten wir mit vieles in der Nähe erkunden, Mont St Michel ist genauso gut erreichbar wie die Küste des D Day bis nach Caen. Sehr nette Menschen überall, tolle Unterkunft. Wir haben uns sehr wohlgefühlt und kommen sehr gerne wieder.
