We had a great holiday in this beautiful house. The owner was very nice, the location and the house were fantastic. We will probably return another holiday.

We spent an unforgettable week in this newly renovated beautiful gîte . Each and every detail is designed with taste and a great sense of style.
It has all the comfort and luxury of a modern gîte and the charm and character of an old gîte.
Just like in the pictures!
The surroundings are peaceful and a joy to hear birdsong in the morning. The garden, more or less a big parc, is a delight to relax, at the end of a day. The children enjoyed rowing and swimming in the pond, relaxing in the hot tub and sauna.
On top of that we have fresh bread every morning at our window with croissants and pain au chocolat.
It's location is ideal for discovering the D-day landing beaches and its museums, Bayeux, Caen and even Mt Saint Michel (1,5 hour away). We went for a day to one of the Channel Islands, Jersey from Carteret. Very nice place to visit.
Our hosts, Samuelle and Mathias are very friendly and helpful. We received a long list of places to visit in the surroundings, the daily markets and the some more info on restaurants and where we could do our groceries.
They are our neighbors, but very discreet. The communications by email or sms have been very easy with immediate answers.
Mathias and Samuelle invited us for their usual pizza-evening where we baked pizza's with the other guests on the premises (there is also Utah house). It was a wonderful night and the pizza's where wonderful.
Many thanks again Samuelle and Mathias for the wonderful week and we will definitely return!!!
Lieve groet,

First of all, Samuelle Carlson is an extraordinary hostess. She made us feel as if she were our best friend and couldn't do enough for us. Which, since we live in LA and were organizing a wedding in France, was a ton of work. We married in a church built in the 11th to 13th centuries, about a 7 minute walk from the gite.

Second, opt to stay in the Big House. We stayed in the smaller gite annex, which is lovely with all the modcons plus ancient stonework etc, but she will be renting the Big House for the same price as the annex, starting I believe in August 2016. You automatically double your bathrooms and available space, and it is in the same lovely style as the smaller gite.

I still miss the Freshly Baked Bread that the baker delivered to our kitchen window at 8am every morning! Opt for the Baguette Traditionnel, or the Trad as it's called there. Plus some pains au chocolat. I don't know why, but somehow eating that bread every morning with locally made Normandy butter, I still didn't gain weight. It must be the magic of France! Also the cherries from l'Espagne (Spain) at the traditional grocer in Bayeaux (where they get everything for you, no self serve thank you), are something I still pine for. Best cherries ever!

We went to many fascinating WWII sites. The Norman people love Americans, btw, and celebrate their liberation by the Allies every year.

An enchanting and unforgettable stay!~
