Great Gite on Normandy coast
We had a great stay at David and Elisabeth’s property. In a quiet village 3kms from a quiet sandy beach, this is a perfect rural location for peace and quiet. Our daughter loved the horses and donkey at the property and there was a safe garden to exercise our dog. I would recommend if you want to experience Normandy in a rural village.

Super relax en toffe gastheer en -vrouw
Prachtige gite die ook nog eens op een rustige en prachtige locatie ligt. Gastvrouw en -heer doen er alles aan om het verblijf van hun gasten zo vlot en aangenaam mogelijk te laten verlopen. Bij minste probleem staan ze klaar om je te helpen, zelfs als dat probleem niet rechtstreeks met hun accommodatie te maken heeft. Zo hadden wij panne met de auto en hebben ze ons twee maal helpen starten en ons naar een betrouwbare en goede garagist gestuurd. Kortom als je een rustige vakantie wil in een prachtige omgeving, met een geweldige gastvrouw en -heer, dan moet je hier zijn. Familie Franssen-Boonen
