Cottage rurale ayant accès en fauteuil roulant et à mobilité réduite.

Hi,

We stayed here for 10 nights in mid June 2018. As a party of four,all comfortably over 60,we were looking for a peaceful,quiet holiday. We got it,in bucketfulls,and i doubt if there are better hosts than James and Julie Foster. It is 7 minutes to the the supermarket,a good sized LeClerc,where we stocked up every couple of days. We loved it,and it worked out very well for my wife,who is wheelchair bound with Parkinsons. As for the weather,we had sun,sun,and more sun every day-not one drop of rain. We will be backBob,Frances,Sheila and Phyllis.

Good clear instructions to find Gite from Owners.

It was clean and tidy and suited our needs with the owners very close by if needed.

Disappointed that the local restaurant with the great reviews was closed so we will have to return to try it again!

Thanks for the loan of a bike too which we used every day when we were out and about.

Prior to booking we corresponded with Julie, the responses were always very quick and helpful, answering our questions about the area.

On arrival, we were warmly greeted by James, who gave us a tour of the "Gite", and covered how to use the cooker etc.

It was a warm sunny day and the french doors were open on to the huge garden, really welcoming. This is where we met our first animal friend...Lily the goat!

The Gite itself was very clean and had plenty of space, it had everything we needed for our stay. There were 6 of us in total, 4 adults and 2 children,(and our 2 dogs).The huge landing area at the top of the stairs meant that the children essentially had separate bedrooms too.

Because of the good weather, we spent a lot of the time in the garden, having a BBQ (with wine) in the evening, and playing table tennis matches, with the children enjoying the swing and trampoline. However the most favourite past-times were feeding Lily bread, and our leftovers to the family pig! She had a good supper on our last evening!!

The main town is only about 5 drive minutes away, with plenty amenities, including a supermarket....we loved wandering around there, and enjoyed market day (Wednesday morning). We also took the recommendation of Julie and James and visited the very traditional "Chez Agnes" restaurant in Lapenty for lunch. This was an experience we loved, and very rustic French....food and wine delicious. I am sure we provided the entertainment for the local farmers, as our French was limited! We walked there and back through the orchard, with beehives, took just under 30 mins each way from the Gite.

Sad to leave, wish we could have stayed longer, and would have no hesitation in recommending lovely area, and this little slice of Normandy countryside to friends and family.

Thanks Julie, James and family, for helping us enjoy a lovely family holiday....hopefully we get the chance to return one day.

Before we even arrived, Julie and James could not be more helpful. We sent many e-mails asking a variety of questions, which were always responded to promptly and contained valuable information.

Upon arrival, we were warmly greeted and immediately felt part of their 'extended' family. The gite is fully equipped, spacious, clean and has everything you could possibly need (including the use of linen and towels). The grounds are beautiful and very well kept. There is loads for children to do including the use of a large trampoline, swings, hammock and even farm animals that they can feed and pet. The games room, containing a full-size pool table, massage chair and xbox, was a real treat.

The local town, only a 5 minute drive away, has a large supermarket, a variety of shops and some lovely restaurants. We also visited many attractions, including a zoo, theme park, waterfalls, fort and markets, which again, were a short drive away. The gite is in a perfect location!

In total, there were 4 adults and 2 children in our group and there was more than enough room for all of us. We only stayed for 1 week and wished we had stayed for longer.

Thank you so much Julie, James, Ella and Fleur for such a wonderful holiday, it was thoroughly enjoyed by all! I will be recommending this holiday venue to all of my friends and family. We will definitely be returning again!
