Stunning Gite

Beautiful Gite with everything you need,not a single thing we could fault. Patricia & Bruno were both friendly and welcoming,even though they live next door they don't disturb you at all. The gite sits in a lovely quiet location,with the donkeys & horses coming to say hello at the fence was lovely. Ideal for visiting different stunning areas all within 45 minutes drive. The main shops around 20 minutes drive. Thank you for a lovely stay! We would certainly stay again if in the area.

Ein entzückend eingerichtetes Haus im französischen Landhausstil. Der gepflegte Garten ist voll umzäunt, so das unser Hund ihn unbesorgt nutzen konnte. Wir haben die ruhige Lage sehr genossen. Es ist alles da was mann benötigt von Herd über Backofen, Waschmaschine, Trockner, Wäscheständer bis hin zum Bügeleisen. Die Gastgeberin ist sehr freundlich und keinesfalls aufdringlich. Wir können kein Wort französisch aber auf Englisch konnten wir uns unterhalten. Besonders aufmerksam fanden wir den Willkommensgruß mit regionalen Produkten. Es sind im Umkreis von 7 bis 12 km genügend Einkaufsmöglichkeiten und mit dem Auto waren unsere Ausflüge super zu erreichen. Wir geben eine klare Empfehlung für dieses Ferienhaus und ihre Gastgeber und kommen wieder.

Das Haus eines der schönsten, die wir bisher gemietet haben. Es ist so liebevoll eingerichtet, dass man glatt einziehen möchte. Der Garten ist groß und ideal für Kinder und Hunde. Die liebenswürdige Gastgeberin wohnt nebenan. Die absolut ruhige Lage im Herzen des Cotentin ist optimal um alles zu erkunden. Die Ausstattung ist hervorragend und vorbildlich.

Sehr angenehmer Aufenthalt

Es war unser erster Urlaub im Cotendin. Das Ferienhaus von Mme Pascale und M. Bruno liegt ziemlich genau in der Mitte der Halbinsel und ist somit perfekt für Entdeckungsfahrten geeignet. Das Haus selbst war wunderbar, liebevoll dekoriert und die Lage - sehr ruhig auf dem Land - war genauso, wie wir es uns erhofft hatten. Wir kochen gerne und fanden in der Küche alles, was wir brauchten. An kälteren Tagen konnten wir in den gemütlichen Sofas faulenzen und an sonnigen die Terrasse genießen. Die Vermieter waren sehr, sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Eine Unterkunft, die man jedem Fall empfehlen kann.

Ferienhaus im Herzen der Natur - Auszeit für die Seele....

Pascale und Bruno haben mit diesem zauberhaften Natursteinhaus ein Wohlfühlnestchen mit ganz viel Liebe zum Detail eingerichtet.Es fehlte wirklich an nichts. Vom Kücheninventar bis hin zur Ausstattung des Hauswirtschaftsraumes,über Gartenmöbel,Grill,Spielzeug – es wurde wirklich an alles gedacht.Die Betten sind äußerst bequem,die Schlafzimmer groß und geräumig mit viel Stauraum für Kleidung, Koffer, Schuhe..auch in diesen Räumen überall sehr liebevoll ausgesuchte Dekoartikel,so daß man sich sofort zuhause fühlt.Besonders schön fanden wir den Wohn- und Essraum mit Kamin, welcher eine unglaubliche Behaglichkeit ausstrahlt.Die großen bodennahen Fenster erlaubten uns einen großzügigen Blick ins Freie.Das Haus liegt idyllisch inmitten der Natur, umgeben von gepflegtem Rasen,bezaubernden Hortensienbüschen,Rosenstöcken und Bäumen.Für Naturliebhaber und Blumenfreunde ein wahrer Wohlfühlort.Vom Ferienhaus erreicht man viele Sehenswürdigkeiten.Auch die Kommunikation mit Pascale funktionierte sehr gut.Sie ist eine ganz liebenswerte und herzliche Frau.Der Wert eines Augenblicks wurde für uns durch ihr Ferienhaus zur kostbaren Erinnerung...Wir möchten uns bei Pascale und Bruno nochmals für diese wunderschöne Zeit in Ihrem Ferienhaus „Au Coer du Cotentin“ aufrichtig und von ganzem Herzen bedanken.....Ganz liebe Grüße senden Euch Sandra, Sven,Lennard und DaVinci :-))

Sejour agreable d'1 semaine dans le Cotentin

Nous avons passé de très agréables vacances en famille dans un gîte paisible et verdoyant. Tres bon accueil des propriétaires qui sont des personnes sympathiques. Le gite est propre, spacieux, lumineux et confortable. Il est aussi situé au milieu des différents sites à visiter. La cuisine est un peu vétuste. Je conseille vivement ce gîte.

Les propriétaires sont très sympathiques, sans oublier les ânes, la belle Roxane et ses compagnons. Merci et caresses à vos animaux.

« Le charme : vivre dans « sa » maison de rêve au Cotentin » Dépaysement garanti

Nous avons passé une excellente semaine dans la propriété de Pascale et Bruno : Impression générale très positive! • La maison correspond exactement aux photos et à la description de l’annonce. Elle est très spacieuse, impeccable, très propre et soigneusement décorée . Elle comprend 3 grandes chambres et 6 couchages, 2 salles de bain, bénéficie d’ un salon spacieux et très confortable (TV , HIFI, internet,) .Son charme et son environnement privilégié en font une maison très agréable à vivre. Calme absolu. • Les hôtes très accueillants et discrets, habitent à côté , sont aux petits soins et disponibles en cas de nécessité. • Le jardin , arboré, clos, est impeccable et de bonne taille ; les enfants, notamment les tout- petits, disposent d’une aire de jeux et peuvent jouer librement sans besoin d'être suivis, donc doublement agréable pour les parents ! Deux terrasses : l’une avec le salon de jardin, l’autre avec le BBQ. • La voiture est indispensable. Parking clos pour 2/3 voitures dans la propriété. • La région bénéficie d'un environnement exceptionnel : La Hague, le Val de Saire, le Bocage Normand, l’Océan, les Caps, les îles, les phares, les eaux turquoises…. • Saussemesnil ( au village de Ruffosses) se situe à proximité de Cherbourg 13 km, de Valognes 9 km , de St Vaast-la Houghe 20km et de Sainte Mère Eglise (Débarquement à 20 km) En synthèse : • Cette villa est un excellent choix pour découvrir le Cotentin : les plages, les côtes, les ports, les îles et rayonner dans cette nature dont on a tant besoin pour se ressourcer. • Excellent rapport qualité ( 5*) • Un endroit où nous retournerons en connaissance de cause et sans hésitation • Un tout grand merci à Paule et à Bruno
