What a beautifully appointed cottage in an ideal location along the Normandy coast. We stayed at the cottage with our three young children, and one set of grandparents for five days following a trip to Disneyland - it was the perfect setup for our group of seven. The rooms were all of a generous size and well appointed. Our four and five year old daughters loved the children’s room with the twin beds and sticker decals on the wall; they especially enjoyed the bookshelf full of Disney books! Whilst they do not speak French, they very much enjoyed flipping through the books on a daily basis. The upstairs loft bedroom is very large and has a lovely light, airy feel to it, including the en suite. The remaining two bedrooms are also of a good size and were quite comfortable.
The kitchen was well stocked with every kind of kitchen utensil one could imagine needing, from coffee makers to tea kettles, and every baking, cooking, and serving dish one could desire. The lounge was comfortable and cosy, and the dining space, with room for eight around the table was fantastic. The bathrooms, especially the one on the first floor, are very well appointed and lovely.
The outside space was a great space for our children to run around, and safe as well with the gates at the driveway and footpath. The front courtyard would have been a fabulous place to have a glass of wine in the evening, but the weather never quite cooperated enough for us to use it. The location of the cottage was truly fabulous - an easy ten minute walk to the beach and the large grocery store where we got our daily provisions. All of the D-Day sites are within easy driving distance and this cottage was the perfect base to return to each evening.
We didn’t actually meet the owners of the cottage, but all of our communication with them via email was positive and friendly. They were very responsive and helpful in every regard. A neighbour, Nadia, was present to greet us at the house and show us around - she was lovely and incredibly helpful. We blew a fuse during our visit (helpful hint: don’t run the washing machine and dryer at the same time!) and Nadia immediately came over, despite it being nearly 9 pm on a weeknight.
We enjoyed every aspect of our stay at this cottage and would most definitely recommend staying here to anyone who is looking for a beautiful, comfortable cottage to stay in, right in the heart of beautiful Normandy!
