LA PETITE MAISON DANS LA PRAIRIE - COVERED/HEATED SWIMMING POOL APRIL TO OCTOBER

This was a great property, the hot tub and pool were a great bonus!

Martine and her husband were excellent hosts and the cottage was everything that we were expecting and more. We loved using the pool at night and really appreciated having some local cidre to drink upon arrival. The bathroom was small but manageable. The stairs (ladder-like) to the bedroom were very steep. Even though we had no problems with them I would not recommend the cottage for anyone who has trouble with balance, agility, or strength for the above reason. Everything was clean and comfortable, imcluding the beds. We slept so well in the peace of the natural setting. Just lovely! We would stay here again without even thinking about it. No questions asked. Thank you so much!

After getting married in September, my husband and I had to wait a few weeks (both being teachers) for our half term 'mini moon'... It was certainly worth the wait! The gîte was beautiful - the perfect charming, rustic Normandy hideaway situated in the village of Courcy. The owners, Monsieur and Madame Césbron, were lovely and couldn't have even more helpful. The accommodation was very comfortable for two with all the facilities we needed, including wi-fi for my technology obsessed husband! We didn't use the outdoor pool due to the time of year, but would love to visit again in the summer and possibly hire 'Le Grange' - a stunning newly converted barn, fusing ancient and modern on the same site. Courcy is perfectly situated for day trips to Bayeux, Honfleur, Lisieux etc. and the surrounding countryside in the Pays d'Auge was great for country walks. Highly recommend.

We have just returned from a week in this property (le bout du pre) and had a superb time. We took our young daughter who is nearly 15months old all everything we needed (e.g. cot, high chair and bath) was provided. The hosts (Martine and Michel) are wonderful and unlike some gites they do not issue you with a long list of Do's and Dont's on your arrival. Instead, they are on hand if you need them and Martine has some superb recommendations of places to visit, particularly for children. The pool was amazing and unlike some gites we have stayed in elsewhere, the definition of 'Pool Heating' was genuine and wasnt just warmed by the sun. Our baby loved swimming as it was not too cold for her. The local area is just stunning, with village after village of beautiful houses and scenery.
