"This was a lovely place. Rustic charm with all the modern amenities. Close to many of the WW2 sites and minutes away from the WW2 museum in Arromanches, which is a definite must see."

Lovely garden and lovely location the dog loved chasing round the garden which is well fenced in the local town Arromarches is really nice and a great jumping off point for visiting Bayeux and Normandy beaches.

What a lovely gite! We received great communication and the welcome to the property was superb. There is everything you would need for a comfortable stay, the weather was quite cold the first evening so we had a roaring fire using the wood burner. Huge garden with bbq available if wanted and sun loungers for the warmer weather. Everything you would need in the kitchen and I mustn’t forget to also say the beds are comfortable and the shower was amazing! Thank you for providing a lovely space for us to use, will certainly be returning.

The welcome pack consisted of a bottle of Normandy cider (which we don't drink) and a box of coffee pods. No milk to go with the pods. The fridge contained an opened pack of President butter that had been there for how long? The gite is small as expected from the description but we never expected it to be so cluttered. In an area of 40cm squared were to be found a kettle, a coffee pod machine, a drip filter coffee machine and a toaster. The kettle needed to be unplugged to refill. The fridge/freezer is very good. The shower is excellent although there is no anti-slip shower mat and no grab handle for older people so quite dangerous. I had to put a towel on top of the shower tray. There was just a 3/4 used toilet roll with no spare. Cleanliness was fine: no cobwebs, decent linen on the beds. But the mezzanine is definitely for children as the very low beams mean bumped heads for adults. The living room/dining room is cluttered. The glasses are laughable: wine glasses the size of large thimbles, water glasses from Nutella, some other things from yogurt (possibly?). Small glasses for beer. Not good. The dishwasher is excellent. We used the main one and not the one under the cooker hob. The hob was marked and difficult to clean as there was not an induction hob cleaner just three different sorts of vinegar. The vacuum cleaner didn't work because it was blocked so we couldn't clean on exit. So 3* is fair.

Very nice place close to Arromanches with lovely gardens and parking. Easy walk down to Arromanches using the rear gate for a safe and quiet route. Great communication. Highly recommended

Cosy, characterful little house, nice garden, quiet & peaceful. We stayed here in May with our grown up son. Brilliant base for exploring Bayeux, Caen and the coast. Even made it Mont St. Michelle. We really enjoyed being close to the many beaches with all their history, and beautiful scenery. Bayeux convenient for shopping, eating and more history. Own transport essential. We'd go back!

Wonderful little holiday home, with nice kitchen and bathroom. The garden around the home was also very nice which we enjoyed a lot during our stay. Good value for money, highly recommended!

This is a lovely property. The owner and her representative are both very cooperative. I slightly faulted the cleanliness due to spiders in the bedroom closet. We had to vacuum them out before putting in our clothes. I faulted the online listing due to internet availability. We counted on this as part of the rental yet it was not available for nearly half of our stay. With the wifi either down or at dial-up speeds, we had to spend extra on our cell phones to get basic internet for planning our daily excursions.

The gite was equipped with all the necessary equipment and the bed was very comfortable. A lovely garden to sit in after cycling the lanes and tracks around this area.

Cottage was just fine and appliances were very useful if one wished to cook and do laundry (we didn’t). However, house was cool and damp and we couldn’t get it warmed up via the wood stove (may have been our incompetence). Towels didn’t Dry well from day to day. Had to purchase everything needed e.g. soap and shampoo which was a bit of a surprise. Location was excellent especially close to lovely small, historic seaside town of Arromanches. Restaurant recommendations by owner were spot on and we enjoyed two excellent meals in the town. It was a unique artificial harbor post D-Day and many signs of it are still present. Also close (8 km) to historic Bayeux which we frequently visited to meet DDay beaches tour and view Bayeux Tapestry, etc. All logistics were handled well by owner and her assistant who met us timely on our arrival. House was clean and ready for occupancy with guide brochures and advice aplenty. My son slept in the loft upstairs which is a low ceilinged area. He was convinced he heard an animal in the ceiling above him each night walking around for quite awhile. This is something that should be investigated by owner. All in all, pleased and grateful for opportunity to stay in this lovely cottage or gite as they call it.

Dear Catherine, thank you again for our wonderful holiday around D Day. Again, we had a great stay at your house. This time, we rented them both. Great Job! Lovely houses. Wonderful place! I´m sure, we will come back next year...again :) Jenny

Really enjoyed our stay in this cute little cottage. Just a few miles outside of Bayeux made it a great location for exploring Normandie area. Parking area for our car, incredible grounds around the cottage, and don't forget to set the washer water level on low. Really, dishwasher, stove, shower, TV with a collection of DVDs were great. WIFI hot spot could use improvement.

Gîte Le Verclos is a cosy little gîte with a large garden, a few km outside Tracy sur Mer. The driveway is shared with the neigbouring mansion. The living room is quite small for four adults, the kitchen is large and well-equipped. Luxury shower but bathroom is a bit damp. Main bedroom is small with a double bed. In the attic of the living room there are two single beds. Given the small space of the open attic it's more suitable for children. Wifi is available via a portable device which you can take with you during the day. The wifi signal is quite strong but the signal from SFR, the mobile network operator, is not. In the living room of the gîte reception is weak so best to keep the device in the main bedroom or in the attic. Location of the gîte is excellent for visiting the invasion beaches. Arromanches with its remains of the artificial harbour is a 5 min drive and an excellent place to go out for dinner. In Tracy sur Mer itself there are no shops, but the Carrefour at the north of Bayeux is only 10 min by car. On Tuesdays, a mobile pizza vender is stationed at camping Les Bas Carreaux in Tracy sur Mer, and well worth popping by. All in all, we spent an excellent holiday with our teenage sons here, and would recommend this gîte to everyone who loves a countryside location and wishes to visit the Normandy beaches and musea.

This tiny cottage in Tracy sur Mer welcomed me, my husband, our two year old son, and my father-in-law for a few nights. It was exactly what I was looking for as a place to stay in the country but close enough to attractions. Our stay was very relaxing and we really enjoyed time spent in the large garden where my son could run and play after a long day of exploring the local area. We made a fire each night in the wood stove and were thankful for the large supply of chopped firewood available to us. As a mother of a young son, I found the washing machine to be quite helpful. There is no drying machine but the large drying rack provided was good enough. We bought food at the local grocery store and cooked almost all of our meals at the cottage in the large kitchen that has plenty of cookware. As far as location, we couldn't have found a better place. A short drive to all of the D-day sites and 1.5 hours to Mont Saint-Michel. Thank you Catherine for renting out such a beautiful cottage and being so friendly via email and telephone!
