Wonderful old house, peace and quite abound
We had a 4 generation holiday, (oldest 90 and youngest 5). Enough room for everyone and the downstairs bedroom and wet room was ideal for Mum as she was all on one level. Marion was a great host. There when you needed her but not interfering. The welcome basket and the home made pavlova were really nice touches . Ideal location for many of the attractions the area has to offer. The local village has a lovely bakers and a small supermarket so everyday needs are close by. The 2 swimming pools were used a bit, but unfortunately the weather was a bit cool so the pool was a bit chilly. Can't do anything about the weather but a bit frustrating after the heatwave. If you want authentic old French nestled in the countryside then this is it.

Homely, welcoming and everything you could need
There were 9 of us which included 5 children ranging in age from 16 - 5, we all thoroughly enjoyed our stay and there was plenty to keep all of the children entertained. Marian is a lovely host, very welcoming and helpful offering as little or as much advice as you may require. The property itself was very homely, plenty big enough for us all and with everything we could need. We did need to use the car to venture out anywhere and there were a couple of towns near by that are worth a visit and a meal out if you fancy. The beach that was recommended to us was about an hour and it was lovely, supermarkets are near by with everything you could need. We also visited the zoo which was a highlight. The pools were a great addition and the kids thoroughly enjoyed using them, they also loved the dogs and were sad to leave them. Thanks again x

Excellent accomodation for 7 guys that wanted to explore Normandy on motorcycles
Marianne is a wonderful host, very welcoming and very easy going - and boy does she make a good desert !! We had a 'welcome to Normandy' pavlova and a 'have a good ride home' lemon meringue pie 😁😁 The accomodation is a lovely period cottage with everything you need to make your stay comfortable - tucked away out in the countryside it is also VERY secure for a motorcycle holiday, all in all we loved our stay and would be happy to recommend to others.

Week-end parfait !
Nous avons passé deux nuits dans cette charmante demeure. L'hôte est vraiment arrangeante, sympathique, accueillante et agréable. Nous fêtions l'anniversaire d'un ami et nous avons vraiment pu profiter d'un lieu tranquille pour pouvoir faire la fête sans souci de voisinage et sans crainte de déranger. Mme Clarke a rendu ce séjour très agréable par sa bonne humeur, ses attentions et sa disponibilité. Encore merci à elle !

About the host

Hosted by Marian Clarke

Host profile image
D-Day tours can be arranged for our guests. The history of the area is extremely interesting and having taught history I enjoy explaining and telling stories of the things that have happened here.
I was also a special needs teacher with many years of experience working with children and adults, especially dealing with learning difficulties, Asperger syndrome and autistic spectrum disorders. I taught and supported pupils and students with life and communication skills, helping to educate them to maximize their own potential. It is very important for everyone to feel confident in themselves and it is amazing what we can all achieve.
I have worked with various communication programmes such as PECS, TEACCH and Makaton.

Why they chose this property

I fell in love with the house as soon as I saw it. A 14th century stone building. Also apparently occupied by Honore V of Monaco of the Grimaldi Family in th 19th century who had links to Normandy in at this time. It needed alot of TLC so we set to and now have a beautiful place in undulating countryside surrounded by fields.

What makes this property unique

I can give D-Day tours uniquely for my guests.c
