Guestbook
Super Gite in a terrific location
We booked a week in May and had a lovely relaxing holiday in this cosy cottage,with chickens and sheep. Excellent roads to travel to many attractions and beautiful beaches, something to suit everyone. Lovely seafood and incredibly good wine at such cheap prices. We cooked a few evenings over the wood bbq which was great fun and also lit the log burner on some of the cool evenings. There was sky tv, but we never switched it on as we were enjoying the change. Very welcoming and helpful owners

What a little gem...a delightful gite in the middle of beautiful countryside quiet and peaceful with chickens and sheep yet with so much to see and do a short drive away. We visited the Bayeux tapestry, the landing beaches for D day, St Mont Michel, St Malo, charming villages and costal towns. Ate loads of moules and drank excellent wine for little cost. We enjoyed bbqs over wood fires and the log burning stove in the gite. Fresh eggs from the chickens, and had a warm welcome and help from the owners...... what more could you ask for?

Dear Chris & Carolyn
We had a lovely stay at Cottage La Hamel au Maigre, it worked perfectly well for us as a family of four plus 2 dogs. We were looking for a quiet getaway with plenty of countryside walks along with easy driving distance for day trips to key locations in Normandy, such as Omaha beach, Arromanches and Mont Saint Michel. Kids really loved it there, they were so excited with the chickens and Sheep not to mention collecting eggs for the morning breakfast. Chris & Carolyn were extremely friendly a lovely Family. On our arrival we were greeted with a lovely bottle of red wine, a delicious homemade cake oh and beers too...:-) very welcoming after our long drive from Germany! Chris and Carolyn were very good hosts who left plenty of information at hand so that one can plan their journey on things to do and see in the Normandy region and believe me there is plenty....extremely educational. I would Highly recommended this cute little cottage and we'd definitely consider staying again for our next visit to Normandy thank you again :-):-):-)

We arrived late Sunday night and found the fridge had all the essentials needed as we had forgotten to visit a supermarket on route. It is a charming gite with a patio area that is an absolute sun trap where you can just sit and relax and totally de-stress. Excellently situated for all the normandy sites. Mr and Mrs Watts live nearby and are extremely helpful people, no problem is too small.
