Guest comments
'Our third trip to Normandy and we must say our Best Gite stay. Wonderful accommodation, Paul and Lisa have done a super job with the Gite. We visited many places such as Granville, Mt St Michel and Villedieu (the market), Pont-du-Hoc and the American military cemetery at Colleville sur mer. Lisa and Paul were fantastic hosts and we have already booked for our return trip next year.' Dennis (June 2008).
'Thanks again Paul and Lisa for another enjoyable week at La Haute Hague; my third time here. As usual I was made most welcome. This was a R&R holiday for me and except for one day the weather was excellent, plenty of walks and fishing in the nearby lakes. Unfortunately, all good things must come to an end and its back to the UK. Thanks again.' Mike (Sept 2007).
'This has undoubtedly been in the top tier of properties we have ever stayed in on holiday. We have been very impressed with the standard of everthing provided here... It was good just being here.' Peter (August 2007)
