“Not as expected from reviews and pictures”
We found the cottage to be not as we had expected from the reviews and pictures posted. The outside of the property was more unkempt than the pictures captured. Not all the equipment was in good condi… More

“Fantastic little cottage located in a tranquil village, making a very relaxing vacation.”
Dear Chris & Carolyn We had a lovely stay at Cottage La Hamel au Maigre, it worked perfectly well for us as a family of four plus 2 dogs. We were looking for a quiet getaway with plenty of countryside walks along with easy driving distance for day trips to key locations in Normandy, such as Omaha beach, Arromanches and Mont Saint Michel. Kids really loved it there, they were so excited with the chickens and Sheep not to mention collecting eggs for the morning breakfast. Chris & Carolyn were extremely friendly a lovely Family. On our arrival we were greeted with a lovely bottle of red wine, a delicious homemade cake oh and beers too...:-) very welcoming after our long drive from Germany! Chris and Carolyn were very good hosts who left plenty of information at hand so that one can plan their journey on things to do and see in the Normandy region and believe me there is plenty....extremely educational. I would Highly recommended this cute little cottage and we'd definitely consider staying again for our next visit to Normandy thank you again :-):-):-) Gina, Wayne, Marcus & Harvey (Tia and Toby)

“Charming holiday gite”
We arrived late at night and found the fridge had all the essentials needed as we had forgotten to visit a supermarket on route. It is a charming gite with apatio area that is an absolute sun trap where you can just sit and relax and totally de stress. Excellantly situated for all the normandy sites. Mr and Mrs Watts live nearby and are extremely helpful people no problem is to small.

“Cosy cottage in convenient location for touring all that Normandy has to offer”
Warm welcome to a comfortable Gite, with good location for seeing lovely beaches, quiet countryside, in May we had very good roads almost to ourselves. Close to villages for food shopping and excellent food in cafe and restaurants, especially the moules and frites on beach cafés with loads of atmosphere. Lovely to have fresh eggs from the chickens which live on the land around the house. We caught the fast ferry from Portsmouth to Cherbourg and hired a car which we picked up and dropped off at the ferry terminal...simple!
