Les Patis is a beautiful location with a nice swimming pool and a well-maintained terrain. The supermarkets are really close (max 5 minute drive to the Carrefour). However, when booking the accommodation we had other expectations. The text says the house is ideal for families and for a group of friends. There are several accommodations at the terrain. And in the movie you can see the different accommodations. We expected to have neighbors at the sides. But, we did not expect to have neighbors below us. Les Frenes is below the living room, which makes the accommodation very noisy. Our neighbor also didn't know other people were staying above him. He came to us to tell us that he heard doors slamming (which aren't there downstairs). He didn't hear us talking. We talked to him about it and we have taken this into account throughout the holiday (with not moving the chairs and walking in socks). This was not what we expected when going on a holiday. The next morning Tony was standing in our living room, shouting my name to talk to me. I believe this was truly invading our privacy. He could also have waited to talk to us when we were up. So please, be aware of this when booking this accommodation. You will have neighbors below and it will be very noisy. This hasn't been mentioned clearly. Thursday night we were sitting with 4 people in the bedroom upstairs, because we didn't want to cause any noise. Suddenly the bed collapsed and we didn't knew what to do. We talked to Tony about this in the late afternoon. We allowed him to check the bed without our presence, because we went out to have dinner. I told him which room it was, and left the door open. When we came back we saw that Tony went into every room. Also we noticed some bedding was missing. Some people where sleeping under this bedding. We found this really strange and inappropriate. I have received a weird text from Tony. I know it was our fault that the bed broke and we could have told it sooner, but it was not our intention. However, Tony talked to us like it was our intention and that we wouldn't be allowed back on site if we didn't agree to some terms. We found this a really weird way of communication and also wanted to leave in the morning as soon as possible. Also, the house is not well-provided. There is little cutlery, bowls and pans. It would be nice to have more for other guests. The place needs to be quiet at 22:00. Sitting outside and talking is almost impossible at that time.

Unfortunately Tony and Pat did not clean the house properly after a long period of vacancy. We saw mouse droppings on the ceiling beams, on the floors, around the bed where our four year old son was sleeping, in the kitchen, .... Mice can transmit (airborne) diseases, and holiday homes in wooded regions with a lot of mice that have not been cleaned well after a long period of vacancy are at risk (check for hantavirus on the internet). After an incident with a rodent in the house, which left a mess with a lot of droppings, we pointed the mouse droppings out to Tony and Pat as well. They said that we could not expect them to clean everywhere, and suggested that we were just not used to mice because we were city people (which is not true). We decided to go home after a few days and asked half of our money back. Instead they offered us another cottage, but since they could not guarantee us that there weren't mice as well and considering the way that we were treated (we were yelled at) we decided not to take the risk. Back home the conversation just stopped and we got a message from VRBO that they reviewed us as customers.

Great location, excellent facilities and fantastic hosts. We were welcomed as we arrived and helped to unload. Once we settled in there were frequent (but not imposing) checks to make sure we were ok. It was clear that if it wasn’t then everything would be done to resolve things. The property was clean and well maintained. We had great weather and made good use of the pool and outdoor area. While access to British TV was a boon for my elderly mother helping her holiday be restful. The area is peaceful if you want to unwind, while there’s plenty to do if you’re more adventurous. Would recommend to groups of all ages.

We stayed at Guerquesalles for a week at the end of June and we had a fantastic time. The appartment was spacious and had a well equipped kitchen. The garden (or park) was well taken care of. Tony and Pat were very welcoming hosts and we could always come to them if we had a question. I highly recommand this place.

Looked at a range of properties. Found Les Roses and it was great. Really was a fabulous find. Although it was at the start of the season and weather was a bit hit and miss, our two kids LOVED the pool and hot tub. Beautiful grounds, lovely walk down the field to a beautiful little stream where there's a picnic table to have lunch or dinner or breakfast- whatever you fancy! We played a bit of tennis (surface is interesting...) And our daughter practiced netball with the basketball hoop available on site too. Very closer to Livarot and Camambert, as well as Lisieux and other interesting sites to explore. Not to far for a day trip to the coast and beaches. Dishwasher door didn't want to close initial, but Tony and Pat responded straight away and Tony had it fixed in minutes. The grounds are very well maintained. My son tried his hand at fishing . And his dad at rowing the boat on the little lake. A few other properties on site and definitely thinking of returning with a few friends or a family reunion. Thanks Pat and Tony. We had a great time!
