A lovely rustic character cottage in a great location
We stayed, a family of five for a week, over Christmas. The house and location were absolutely lovely! We particularly liked the big open plan living area, fireplace (added bonus that it has a glass door so no smoke, plus lots of wood!), and the lovely large dining table. The games room of course is a fantastic bonus. The location is ideal - so quiet in the gorgeous countryside with some nice walking, and a few minutes drive from Cormeilles with the little shops and the great supermarket. We were also able to easily drive to Honfleur, and also Rouen (I love the Christmas market there), and Lisieux.
What I would say, the house worked ok for us as three siblings all slept upstairs but you do have to walk through the double bedroom to get to the bathroom (there is also a double bedroom downstairs).
Downstairs there is a toilet and also a shower/bath so this is good if you aren't able to do stairs.
The kitchen was a bit small, although just about manageable for a Christmas dinner!
I was a bit put out that we weren't told until the day before that linen and towels is extra per person, I think it would have been better to know this up front. Also, Valerie met us at the property, she is very nice but speaks no English so if you don't speak any French then I'd advise communicating through Alan as much as you can.
Overall, we really enjoyed our stay, and although a few things could have been better the fireplace and the location made up for it!
