Lovely stay

We had a lovely few days relaxing in the countryside. Great property, lovely open space for kids to play and gorgeous peaceful views across the valley. We did a day trip to Paris, taking the train from L’Aigle. Check in and out very easy and Nathalie an attentive and helpful host. Would recommend!

Wonderful stay in an idyllic and picturesque setting, with racehorses at the tip of our fingers

We had rather nice weather and were able to enjoy the outdoor spaces of the property, taking all our meals on the terrace with a wonderful view overlooking the owner's horses peacefully grazing in the valley. The highlight, which we and our neighbors from the Airbnb tried not to miss, was watching the owner exercise some of the trotters, racing them on a small track winding through the fields—a very special experience. During the day, we explored the beautiful area around the cottage, indulging in cheese, cider, and Calvados. We will try to come back soon.

Pleasant home in quiet and beautiful environment

Nathalie welcomed us warmly and we felt immediately at home. Everything you need is in place, with a big fridge and a separate freezer. The house is well maintained and nicely renovated and very clean. The terrace (with large table) offers a superb view on the surroundings. However, as also can be seen on the photos, all rooms are connected: persons sleeping in the last room need to pass the two other rooms to get down, but the last room also has a separate toilet. You can immediately start a hike starting from the house in the beautiful region, full of suprising manors. As you are about one hour driving from Caen, you can also easily visit Caen and the Mémorial and the D-day beaches.

Beautiful setting

We enjoyed our stay in this lovely setting. The hosts were friendly and very responsive. Bedding needs and towels were not provided as part of the rental and we had to pay an extra fee of 50 euro for sheets, pillow case and towels. We think this should be included in the description rather than provide this information shortly before rental date. Also given it was winter time and the radiator heat was not sufficient to keep us comfortable, we would have appreciated extra blankets. As such we had to wear layers of clothing. Otherwise it was a very nice stay, place was clean, nice kitchen supplies and we appreciated the prompt and friendly service of our hosts. We would stay again if the weather was warmer.

Un séjour inoubliable au Cottage des Trotteurs !

Nous avons passé un merveilleux moment dans ce gîte plein de charme. L’accueil a été chaleureux et attentionné dès notre arrivée. Le cadre est magnifique, paisible, entouré de nature, parfait pour se ressourcer. Le confort du cottage et la qualité des équipements sont irréprochables — tout est pensé pour que l’on se sente bien.Un vrai coup de cœur également pour la découverte du monde des chevaux de course, que nos hôtes ont pris le temps de partager avec passion. Une expérience unique et enrichissante, qui a vraiment marqué notre séjour.Merci encore pour cette belle parenthèse.

Un havre de paix pour faire un break

Ce gîte est absolument fabuleux. En pleine nature, dans la vallée de la Vie, c'est idéal pour se reposer, se ressourcer, avec chevaux, vaches... à proximité. Le lieu est exceptionnel par sa tranquillité et sa beauté ; même si la 'ville' n'est pas si loin pour trouver toutes les commodités. Le gîte est conforme aux photos et bien agencé pour une famille avec enfants. Il est bien équipé, il ne manque rien. Un grand merci a Nathalie et Benoît pour leur gentillesse et leur accueil ; et d'avoir échangé avec nous sur leur passion et amour du monde équestre. Très disponible et arrangeant ; la communication s'est faite sans problème. Je recommande vraiment ce lieu a qui recherche un endroit paisible où faire une pause nature !

Séjour très agréable à la campagne normande

Nous avons passé une semaine magnifique et paisible près de Roiville. La maison est chaleureuse, propre et parfaitement renovée. Il ne manque rien, tout le matériel est neuf et de très bonne qualité (la connexion wifi est également excellente). On s'y trouve totalement au calme, car la maison est en pleine campagne et ne se situe pas sur une route fréquentée. Le jardin est très spacieux et offre de très belles vues sur le paysage autour et sur le coucher de soleil. Les enfants ont adoré le trampoline et la possibilité de profiter de la grande pelouse. La maison est également très bien située pour faire des excursions aux alentours (par exemple à Camembert, Livarot, Lisieux, Falaise, au parc d'immersion RustiK, à Clécy, et même à la côte avec Deauville et Trouville). Il y a plusieurs fermes dans les environs qui proposent des produits du terroir (fromage, produits laitiers, cidre, etc.). Nous avons également été très bien accueillis par les propriétaires de la maison, nous espérons revenir prochainement, et nous recommandons vivement cette belle location de vacances.

Eine Woche Ende April mitten in der normannischen Natur

Wir haben eine wunderschöne Aprilwoche in diesem Haus verbracht. Trotz teils nasskalter Witterung war das Haus warm, trocken und gemütlich. Der Empfang war sehr herzlich. Frau Vallette hat uns sehr gut in das Haus eingeführt und uns jede Menge tolle Tipps mitgegeben (Marktbesucht in Saint-Pierre-Sur-Dives, gute Restaurants in der näheren Umgebung und einen Besuch der nahegelegenen Ciderie mit Verkostung - unbedingt zu empfehlen). Das Haus ist zauberhaft eingerichtet, die Dusche ist fabelhaft, in der Küche ist alles da, was es braucht, um sich jede erdenkbare Mahlzeit zuzubereiten und die Betten sind sehr gut. Überhaupt sind die Schlafräume im Obergeschoss sehr gemütlich. Und die Umgebung ist wunderschön. Angefangen mit den Pferden direkt hinterm Haus, lassen sich aber auch problemlos Hasen und Rehe vom Küchenfenster aus beobachten. Wer Abgeschiedenheit, Ruhe und Natur sucht, wird es hier genießen - wie wir es auch getan haben!

Lovely property in rural Normandie

Lovely cottage/ house located about 10km from Vimoutiers. Much larger than we had anticipated. Modern, well equipped kitchen and bathroom, with three bedrooms upstairs. Prior to our arrival we were sent a Google map which was much appreciated as the property is down a narrow lane and would not have been easy to find. Nathalie met us shortly after our arrival to show us round. There were clear instructions (in French) as to the departure process (including rubbish disposal). The garden is very large and has a trampoline, swings etc for children. Fabulous views over the valley & down to Vimoutiers. Vimoutiers has a large and well stocked Carrefour supermarket. We can also recommend the La Binome restaurant where most of the produce is locally sourced (booking advised at the weekend). Cider, Pommeau, calvados & apple juice can be purchased down the road at Les Vergers du Chouquet. An excellent location for exploring Normandie; we went to Bayeux, Cabourg, Rouen, Giverny (Monet's house & garden), and Etretat as well as doing some walking in the Swiss Normande (maps (with directions in French) can be purchased from the local tourist office). A great area for cycling especially if you like long, steep hills with double digit gradients (Roiville & Crouttes about 15%). Note: bed linen and towels can be purchased at extra cost from the hosts, otherwise you will need to bring your own.
