Very light, airy and roomy property. Let down by the quaint assortment of crockery and cutlery. Only one saucepan had a lid. Needs more storage space in kitchen area. A bit further to the village than we expected. The butcher was on his annual holidays!

A most relaxing time
We have just had a really lovely two weeks in this relaxing little gite. Noreen is a great Lady who does everything she can to insure you have a memorable holiday. We did have a few issues but these were dealt with quickly and efficiently. Our one and only criticism is that the outside seating area could be made more comfortable with a bit of TLC. Otherwise we are more than happy to recommend this gite to everyone who wishes to get away from it all.

A really neat and beautiful place to stay in the Normandie region
What a cute little place in the Normandie countryside. Noreen was an excellent hostess, so kind and thoughtful. The property is conveniently located in proximity to the Normandie coast. When I come back to Normandie, I will definitely want to stay here! Chris Chapel Hill, NC USA

An splendid gite. Over the years we have stayed in many holiday cottages in France and Italy and this is one of the best. Good facilities and in a very attractive and peaceful location. A particular strength is the number of outdoor spots by the cottage to sit or eat.Noreen is an good hostess leaves you to it but is on hand to help if needed. It is an attractive part of Normandy. Nearby Le Molay Liitry has decent shops, a Thursday market and a couple of restaurants. Bayeux and the surrounding area have much to offer - gardens,chateaux, the D day beaches and much more. We will go again if we are able.

Perfect hideaway for a couple, quiet, clean, comfortable. Good location for all D-Day activities.
A great gite, all on one level, with everything you could need provided. A large, airy, lounge/kitchen/diner with cooker, microwave, fridge and coffee machine. A large bedroom with modern en-suite shower room. Air conditioned too. It's all nicely decorated and very clean and comfortable. There is also a TV with English Freeview satellite and a dvd player. There are plenty of places to sit outside in the extensive grounds to chase sun or shade and the only noise is from the cows in the adjoining fields and the tolling of the nearby abbey bell. It's a perfect gite for a couple and gave us a very peaceful and relaxing break. Noreen the owner is there should you need her but otherwise let's you get on with your holiday. Bayeux and St Lo are about 20mins away, the nearest supermarket is c10mins away but the local village has a butcher, a baker and a small general store. The D-Day beaches are about 40mins away and the gite makes a good base to explore the region. It's one of the best gites we've used and is recommended.

Just perfect!
Noreeen was the ideal 'there but not there' hostess. She was always ready to advise or help, without being in any way obtrusive. The accommodation was very comfortable, clean and well-equipped. Consequently we greatly enjoyed our stay.

Easter weekend in Cerisy-la-Forêt
My wife and I spent the Easter weekend and although the weather was poor we still had a wonderful time. Noreen is an excellent host and was always available when needed, providing advice and guidance on the local area as well as answering any questions we had about the Gite. For those who want to spend time enjoying this area and want a comfortable intimate Gite for 2 then you can't go far wrong. Will definitely recommend to friends and family!

Wonderful stay
We were met at this very comfortable "home from home" gite by the English owner, who was so welcoming and eager to make our stay pleasurable. The setting is rural and the village is in a lovely area with plenty to see, good areas to walk and handy for the tourist areas of interest. We loved our stay here and would definitely return and recommend it. Thank you Noreen for a wonderful stay.

A PEACEFUL RETREAT
We had an excellent stay at this property and Noreen was there should any problem arise which was great. Mixed weather but we managed to barbecue 2 nights out of 6 which we enjoyed as we do at home. We would have liked opening windows in the bedroom as we did not want to leave the french doors open on an evening. Very comfortable with everything you need.Unfortunately the local boulangerie and charcuterie were closed for annual holidays but the cocci market came up trumps and we also bought some great wine from there. They even ordered some in specially for us to take home.An excellent week, thanks Noreen

Still amazing
This was our second holiday at this beautiful gite! Yet again an amazing break (thank you Noreen!) We came for a peaceful and tranquil break which we totally got. We did the beaches and the crematories a couple of years ago which was a very emotional visit for us both . We stayed two years ago and would have stayed last year but to due to unforeseen circumstances were unable to. We would highly recommend the gite if you want a relaxing break (if you want nightlife and lots of bars it's not for you!). It was fab seeing Sem Sem and Claude again and I know Geoff really looked forward to seeing the cattle running around the field. We are now planning our third, fourth and fifth visit over the coming months and years. This is a place we really look forward to visiting time after time.

Comfortable Gîte at a quiet, relaxing property
Selected this property for a one week stay in Normandy based on location and amenities. It is about 20-25 minutes to Bayeux or Saint-Lô by car. Booking was easy and on site owner Noreen very responsive. The gîte is a converted farmhouse and has been renovated to a very nice comfortable standard. The place was spotlessly clean upon arrival and bottle of local cider was provided. The kitchen has all of the essentials including microwave, kettle, coffee maker, fridge with a small freezer compartment, etc. A few highlights/essentials: Parking--in a rural setting and parking is no problem. Water-very adequate water pressure for shower and plenty of hot water too. Internet: Wifi signal excellent in main room. Speed and stability supported streaming without any issues. A/C: it is the proper type--the mini-split wall mounted system with a remote control. Almost silent and works quite well. One note--the unit is in the kitchen/sitting room so one must leave bedroom door open in order to cool that space, but it does work fine. Bedroom: Good size with a wardrobe and plenty of clothes hangers. Towels were provided and changed out mid week. Bed was a double (a bit small compared to what I am used to at home) but otherwise comfortable. Sitting area: comfortable couch, and TV with UK Freeview Owner: Noreen is very warm and friendly. She was available to assist and chat without ever being intrusive. She assembled a very organised "instruction manual" for guests. Bonus: Two marmalade cats Sem Sem and Claude were always on patrol outside. Very friendly! I would recommend this gîte to anyone looking to stay in this part of Normandy. It is a good location for accessing D-Day beaches and sites.

Perfect home base for 2 people to explore Normandy
The pictures reflect the accommodation very well. Warm welcome from the landlady including a small personal greeting. Quiet location, very clean, lovingly furnished, well-equipped eat-in kitchen (stove, oven, microwave, coffee maker, fridge, dishes, etc.), stable internet, cozy sitting area at the back of the house. The landlady was always available to answer questions and provided us with lots of information about the surrounding area. Limited shopping facilities in the village. We felt very welcome and comfortable and would book this accommodation again at any time. Translated with DeepL.com (free version)

Tolle Unterkunft mitten in der Normandie
Das kleine Appartement ist sehr ruhig gelegen, rund herum gibt es viel Natur. Die nahe gelegene Abtei ist sehr sehenswert. Für Gäste die es sehr ruhig mögen, ist das die ideale Unterkunft. Die Gastgeberin ist sehr aufgeschlossen und warmherzig und hat sich immer gut um alles gekümmert. Das in der Ferienwohnung befindliche Schild "Enter as strangers - leave as friends" trifft voll zu. Wir würden auf jeden Fall wieder hinfahren!
