An Oasis in Normandy
This home is absolutely delightful. After several weeks of traveling and staying in hotels, the quiet private grounds surrounding this peaceful home were a joy and relief. The home is very comfortable and clean. The bedrooms have roof windows on either side which allow for a cool breeze at night. The bathrooms have all necessary amenities. The washing machine was handy after a few weeks of travel. The kitchen was well supplied to prepare meals. We greatly enjoyed the bakery and patisserie in the village, and there is a good grocery store nearby in Lisieux for all cooking needs if you choose to eat in. The outdoor table and chairs provided pleasant lounging and dining in the summer evening air. Laurence and Oliver were terrific and easy to contact if needed. Their house is on the property but hidden behind a stand of large trees and bushes, so everyone enjoys their privacy. The property also has a security gate, so the place feels very safe and secure. The location is a good home base if you want to explore multiple parts of Normandy and don't mind driving, but I would be content to stay put and just lay around reading a good book for a few days. This is definitely a great get away from a hot city summer and a nice place to come home to after being elbow-to-elbow with Normandy tourists at the busier spots.
