Lovely place, wonderful hosts
First, Bénédicte and Marc are the best hosts I’ve ever had. They met us at the cottage and greeted us as family. They gave us so many wonderful treats and suggestions and made our trip more memorable. The cottage is beautiful, spacious, comfortable and spotless. It has everything you need. The location is beautiful and quiet plus it’s easy to access all the historic and beautiful places Normandy has to offer. I hope to stay there again. Thank you so much Bénédicte and Marc!

Perfect. One word to describe our stay. From the information pack sent prior to arrival to them greeting us, looking after us and waving us off our stay was perfect. Property was immaculate. Modern and new but also traditional. Location was suitable for visiting all of the Normandy coast.

A 5 star stay in a 5 star cottage.
Our week in La Mousardiere was wonderful. The cottage was beautiful with a newly renovated modern interior. Everything was spotlessly clean and the modern kitchen was equipped with everything you could want and more. Our hosts Benedicte and Marc were a lovely, welcoming couple who could not have been more helpful in providing us with lots of suggestions for restaurants and visits. Certainly worth another visit.

We loved the cottage. Everything has been converted beautifully and with an immaculate finish. The kitchen has absolutely everything you need, the beds are very comfortable and the setting is stunning. Benedicte & Marc are wonderfully kind hosts and gave us lots of suggestions for visits. We would recommend the cottage to anyone looking for a quiet and relaxing place to stay within easy reach of the landing beaches and Bayeux. We will definitely be coming back.

Absolutely Amazing and Magical Experience
We had the best VRBO experience ever, in this property. It is absolutely beautiful and its practically brand new inside with all the amenities that you have at home. This stone farmhouse is magical and even more magical are the hosts who live a few steps away in the home on the property. They are amazing! When we had a travel snafu, they immediately gave assistance and knew how to help. They are a beautiful couple whose family has owned this property for a very long time. They went out of their way to make our stay spectacular. We spent a week there visiting the Normandy memorials, beaches, historical sites and museums. And like other reviewers, we did not want to leave our beautiful stone farmhouse. If I were to go back to Normandy again, I will definitely stay here.

I cannot recommend this house more strongly, or more happily. It was perfect. It was beyond perfect! If you are visiting the Normandy area, the location is perfect. The little town nearby is adorable. The owners are wonderful, and made us feel so welcome. The beds are comfortable, and it was the cleanest house I have ever been in. The grounds are beautiful.

Wir haben direkt bei der Anreise unzählige Ausflugstips und Restaurantempfehlungen bekommen. Und auch während der Zeit, bekamen wir von Marc immer wieder Empfehlungen.
