Guest comments
We have certainly enjoyed our visit, a most relaxing stay in lovely countryside. We both enjoyed the circular walk 'Sentir du Granite' along the rivers edge. M & A, June 2009.
The gite location is perfect. We saw the D-day beaches, Caen, Falaise, Clercy and Bayeaux, all less than an hours drive. The area is peaceful and friendly. K, N and K, Aug 2009.
We've had a wonderful stay here in Normandy. We visited the Normandy beaches, American and Canadian cemeteries - very moving. Also went on the velorail, boating at Pont D'Ouilly, high wire tree walking at Roche D'Oetre. People are very friendly and Dennis and Tina made us feel very welcome and nothing was too much trouble. J, M, R & C Aug 2009.
The gite is beautifully located - so peaceful, a perfect slice of Normandy. Thank you so much for your help in hopefully getting me on the Normandy property ladder and to realise my dream. K, Feb 2010.
Owner profile
About the owner
We live here in Taillebois all year round and have three young children who love the freedom they have and the french way of life. As with most french families we have chickens and ducks, along with 2 adorable goats, guinea pigs and a rabbit.
There is very little traffic on our roads and we all love to go bike riding down the numerous lanes and cycleways. Everyone here has made us so welcome and the french are so helpful.
Why the owner chose a home in this location
We originally started looking for a holiday home but fell in love with the area and decided to get out of the hussle and bussle of England and now live a much slower pace of life.
