Villa de carácter con jardín cerrado

We stayed here in July 2023. I would say that this is someone's holiday house which they let out on the side, rather than a purpose run holiday let. This has pros and cons! Exterior: A beautiful house, and very well positioned for exploring the D-Day sites, Bayeux, etc. Huge supermarkets 20 minutes each direction in Bayeux and St Lo. The house is right next to a D road but it's pretty quiet. Surrounding the house is a huge grass field/garden. At the front they've recently installed gates, but the hedge next to them hasn't grown up. This means that the garden is not contained, and children need fairly close supervision outside. Nice patio/BBQ area. Living space: Nice big comfy sitting room, tastefully decorated. A second sitting room area with games etc. A really big dining table, this was a big positive for us as a family group. The kitchen is not huge, but fine for breakfasts in shifts. It is very well supplied with equipment. Possibly too well supplied really, more countertop would be better. Utilities: Washer/drier in the garage, and an extra fridge. Bedrooms: Upstairs there is a double with a large bed, a double with a separate sofa bed area, a shared bathroom and shared loo. Also a suite with a narrow double room, a small ensuite, and a kids' bedroom with 2x2 trundles, i.e. four beds. The kids trundles were a great idea, this was a lovely room. Downstairs there is a double with a large bed next to a shower room, and an ensuite double with a narrow and short bed. Pros: Great location, works well for a big family group with the lovely big dining table and two living areas. For example, can have a designated kids area. Nice big outside space. Well stocked kitchen and utilities. Cons: Two of the double beds are really quite small, and these are in the en-suite rooms, which makes no sense. We ended up putting kids in one of the rooms, whilst grandparents would have liked an ensuite. We had some issues with showers flooding. The bathrooms were dated. Suggestions: A welcome guide book with useful information. (E.g. the bottle bank in Berigny is very hard to find. The tumble drier is not plumbed and the container needs to be emptied regularly). Replace the two small/narrow doubles as a matter of priority, people want to sleep well on holiday. It was a pain arranging to meet the letting agent at arrival/departure. There is a key safe, I think it would be fine to give visitors the code, and the agent could come later to check everything is ok? Overall, we had a really good holiday, but good to book knowing what the potential issues are.

Mooi landelijk gelegen huis ,met veel ruimte . Het huis heeft wel wat onderhoud nodig. De bedden waren goed . Lekker veel ruimte voor 13 personen ,vooral met de vier badkamers. De keuken is wat aan de kleine kant om voor 13 personen te koken ,al was de keuken goed met van alles voorzien van pannen en keukenspullen. Al met al hebben we een prettig verblijf gehad .
