Large spacious house with great outdoor space.

Great house and gardens .. plenty of space for a family of six. Although first impressions on arrival were of an unkempt driveway, lots of weeds and rubble from a fallen wall . Would benefit hugely from more secure pathways to and from the car, and around the house, patio area to dine outdoors as gravel areas were quite uneven under foot. I'm not sure I'd recommend this property to friends with a young family as outside areas not suitable for a pram and crawling children. We had a very pleasant stay whilst holidaying in France, lovely parks, beaches and historic places to visit. Thank you

Lovely house, Spacious inside and out.

Great house for our family of six, not too far from really nice parks and the center of Caen and beaches. Few areas we felt needed pointing out was that •the house would benefit greatly from a patio area around the back gardens, for BBQ and dining, as the current gravel area was very uncomfortable and uneven under foot, plus the inherited cats used this for their toilet 😟 also not suitable for small children/pram or buggy. • first impressions on entering the house were of an unkempt driveway with a sloped gravel pathway and fallen wall rubble leading up to the house, again not suitable for buggy's, recommend steps or suitable pathway. •would've been great if the information left out for us regarding house / instructions was in English rather than in French . Apart from that we had a really lovely relaxing holiday and experienced some real French culture, plus we inherited 3 chickens and 2 cats during our Stay, children were delighted! Thank you

Spacious House - perfect to explore Normandy

The last 3 weeks we spent our summer family vacation in St Contest and found it wonderful. The house is very spacious with a huge kitchen equipped with all the stuff one needs for food preparation (oven, microwave, hot plates etc.) and even features a dishwasher. Both the kitchen and the living room offer additional doors to access the huge garden. We liked especially the master bedroom with a private bathroom to it. Next to this also the other rooms were sized well and some hidden closets made it easy to put away travel stuff. Even though we did not use it a lot we still found the quiet area on the attic really nice. The kids also loved the little playing are in the living room. All in the house is a very neat place to stay and offers a lot of space. The quiet surrounding also make it a relaxing place, for usually there is hardly any traffic noise. Instead we enjoyed lots of birds which seem to like the Redwoodtree and even were able to spot some bats - really cool. We undertook various trips by car to the nearer area, like: Caen - right next to it Mont St Michel, Honfleur - ~1.5hrs, Swiss Normandy, Etretat, Carentan, Viaduc de la Souleuvre ~1hr, beaches, war sites, Breche au Diable, Festyland and more within 30-45min => so really a lot to do and see. Dominique and Olivier were welcoming us on arrival and are very(!) kind people and even gave us a little welcome gift =) They also supported us, if we faced a challenge. We can only recommend the place to others!
