Family holiday
Review Submitted: February 22, 2012
Date of Stay: August 2010
We were a party of 7 adults in the the Gite Le Fournil, two pairs of parents with one daughter and two sons respectively, so we had enormous amounts of room (since it can hold 11). Even fully occupied it would still be spacious, with a vast dining table and separate lounge. The web site descriptions are accurate, and the place was spotless on arrival.
The whole domaine is set away from the road, with all the properties grouped round what is in effect a shared village green, and from Le Fournil one can socialise on the green side of the building, or sit on the private patio at the back.
The furniture is very atmospheric, being collected from French farm houses over a number of years, and fits the building really well. The kitchen equipment is as described on the web site, and more than adequate for a self-catering holiday, while the play barn is an invaluable resource, especially in the event of rain.
The whole farm is easy to get to, and even when our return was re-routed from Caen to Cherburg because of ferry problems the adjusted journey times were quite reasonable.
We have no hesitation in recommending the Domaine as a place to stay, for its location, its atmosphere, the welcome you get from the owners and from the accommodation itself.

Owner's Response: It was a great pleasure to host a large family celebration for Richard and Barbara and their extended family.
Our gites provided accommodation for a special anniversary and the whole family were able to share the special event together, but with the independence of staying in separate accommodation which we find can be very important for a successful holiday.
