The house at St Denis le Gast was perfect for a country New Year retreat. We really appreciated the log fire and comfy sofas. The house is surrounded by beautiful countryside in a quiet lane. Tom gave several great recommendations for visits and was very responsive to any questions we had.
We had a lovely stay, very quite and peacefull in the countryside, but only 20 to 30 minutes from the coast, 50 mins from saint mount micheal, really worth a visit, Nice large house for a family stay, everything is included in including games for the kids, books and lots more, really enjoyed our time there

Staying in early September 2023
The house looked full of potential but unfortunately in reality it proved to be internally dirty and outwardly completely unloved.
What appeared to have ample storage cupboards were cluttered and full with no room for our provisions. Third bedroom carpet was horribly stained by leaking en suite shower. En suite Shower room on first floor had black mould between floor tiles with a dirty stained shower mat. Wooden kitchen draining board was slimy with black mould in grooves. Dirty kitchen sinks. Garden very overgrown with dumped rubbish. Not Dog friendly as advertised. Barbecue was badly cracked and looked unsafe to use. Drive and stoned parking / social area had many ingrowing weeds. The only plus was clean towels and clean bed linen. We left early as we felt as if we were camping every day.
House was lovely very spacious. Lots of bathrooms which is good for a large family. Everything worked comfortable beds. Owners we're very helpful if we had a problem our questions..Very good location would go back
Brilliant house with lovdly setting just a fabulous place for a truly french holiday with amazing views and great places to visit
The local boulanger was truely phenomenal a real restful time
We had an excellent stay at the house. Everything was great, and the house was well organized. Thank you

Nice location
A house on a beautifull and calm location. But nearby everything you need as a baker, butcher and supermarket. Also there are nice villages nearby.
Friendly contact
No complaints, nothing but love for this place. We loved the kitchen, the beds slept well and the property was just as scenic as could be. Host was great as well. Thanks again
We all agreed this house was one of the most memorable and wonderful aspects of our trip to France. This quintessential French country house accomodated our family of 8 so very well. Thank you for your hospitality and helpful tips for the area (we visited the boulangerie twice as bread, wine, and cheese make great picnics!)
It was a pleasure to stay at this delightful property and it was a true lay memorable experience. From the moment we arrived we feel in love with the house and its enchanting charm. The cottage perfectly embodied the rustic Beaty of the region, making it an ideal retreat for the family. We love the region and although the cottage was remote and peaceful, it was conveniently just a short drive to stunning beaches and amenities. The cottage was well equipped with all the essentials, making our stay comfortable and enjoyable. We quickly realised we had overpacked for the trip, we will definitely travel lighter next time, as many of the items we brought along, were available in the cottage. The garden was fantastic to keep both me and the kids entertained throughout our sta. with swing ball, tennis, table tennis and bikes.We loved every minute of our stay and cannot wait to return, we strongly recommend.
We had a very nice holiday in this house. Handy location for visiting the whole of the Cotentin. No major problems. Thanks to Tom and Sophie for thir quick replies to my questions. The xmas tree was up when we arrived which made us feel at home immediately!
Overall the house was tired and old. Upstairs satisfactory. Downstairs kitchen. The oven burnt everything and the hob was uncontrollable to put to low temperature. The kitchen equipment old. There were no instructions for white goods. The electrics by the TV were exposed socket and dangerous . The house was dark and cold and we had to contact the owner for instructions to use the heating. The dustbin had wet old rubbish in so we couldn’t put refuse in bags in it and it smelt. Garden was overgrown and unkempt.
Vakantiehuis groot genoeg voor het hele gezin.Een aantal keren buiten kunnen eten op het terras. Er zou binnen en buiten wel eens grondig gepoetst mogen worden. Binnen veel spinnenwebben en stof. Afzuiging boven het fornuis is heel vettig. Buiten is er een grote tuin,maar er zou dringend moeten gesnoeid worden. De tuin heeft niet meer de uitstraling van in de advertentiefoto's.
terras.Mooie omgeving, 25 minuten van de zee
Maison charmante et bien tenue. Echanges faciles avec les propriétaires. Nous reviendrions avec plaisir.

Maison normandes
Très jolie maison, dommage un peu vieillotte avec toutes ses moquettes pas très hygiénique surtout dans une des salle de bain. Avec cette petite inondation qu on a eu qui nous a vallu la condamnation d une des chambres avec cette forte odeur d humidité. Par ailleurs un petit tri de la part du propriétaire sur tous les produits et nourritures périmée dans les placards et sur les étagères dans la cuisine serait plus approprié. Avec un peu plus d entretien sur tout le site y compris l extérieur se serait une location idéale.
