Wonderful family holiday

Review Submitted: November 21, 2011 Date of Stay: July 2011
We had a wonderful holiday at La Hallotiere. Peter and Jenny were lovely hosts and made the whole family feel very welcome. We did several great day trips to the D Day beaches, Mont St Michel, Bayeux - Tapesty and the local towns which provided wonderful food and wine. Our hosts provided great directions and suggestions. The cottage was great for our family (two adults and two children 5 & 3) and the whole property was lovely, we had a lot of fun.

Perfect Combination

Review Submitted: September 19, 2011 Date of Stay: August 2011
The perfect combination of tranquillity with plenty of fun things for the family to do just a short distance away.

Stone cottage is in a beautiful setting, and is spotlessly clean and well appointed. We made full use of the lovely garden, croquet lawn and heated swimming pool.

The near by beach at Carolles was great fun as well as the Zoo and Enchanted Village.

We have come away with a list of things we would like to do again and some things we didn’t get round to on our next visit.

Peter and Jenny couldn’t have been any more charming and helpful.

Great family holiday

Review Submitted: September 12, 2011 Date of Stay: July 2011
Had a great week stay early July 2011. A lovely quiet cottage - really tranquil. Wonderful, thoughtful hosts who are always there if you need them but at the same time completely unobtrusive.
A wonderful location - close to all the big attractions - Bayeaux, Normandy beaches, Mont St michel, ST Malo and some lovely locals sites too like waterfalls and enchanted villages!
3 children ages 10,9 and 7 were well catered for with the heated outdoor pool. Wonderful after a busy day out or the perfect spot for a lazy day at the cottage.
This accommodation was spotless and really well furnished. Perfect for a family of 5.
Highly recommended for a superb holiday in Normandy

Superb cottage in delightful setting

Review Submitted: July 10, 2011 Date of Stay: June 2011
We had a fantastic week in the Stone House cottage. The house was spotless, well equipped and child friendly. Owners Peter and Jenny were fantastically helpful, from advice on day trips to providing an extra stair gate for our little one. The beautiful views and gardens surpassed our expectations, and the pool was perfect for us. Highly recommended!

Cider with Crocquet

Review Submitted: June 23, 2011 Date of Stay: May 2011
Easy 4 hour drive from Calais to the quieter part of the middle of nowhere! The only sound was the wind in and birds in the trees.......until we discovered the crocquet lawn and corkscrew..........then there were lots of clinking and tapping sounds too. Peter and Jenny were great hosts -- nothing seemed to much trouble. We loved the unspoilt views across the rolling countryside, the well-tended swimming pool and the the quaint local shopping village of Brecy -- tradition with a proper supermarket! We had solid sunshine so as a result didn't really go out anywhere. Next time perhaps!

Owner's Response: Steve, Thanks for your review. Glad you liked the cider, the croquet and the Stone House. Please come again.
