Modernised Stone Cottage in Beautiful Suisse Normande

This is a rural location in a small hamlet, ideal for those who want peace and beauty yet with easy access to activities and sightseeing. Just below the house there are walking and cycle trails. The whole property also contains the owner's house, several outbuildings, a garden and two fields where Shetland ponies are grazed. It is all securely enclosed so safe for dogs or children. The cottage itself is traditional, but has all modernised features including electric radiators for controlled heat in every room. Access to the first floor is by a spiral stair so may not be suitable for very elderly or infirm guests. The cottage is rustic in style with beams but the ceilings are high enough for everyone.
There are three bedrooms that sleep 8 people, and the facilities have been renovated
to provide one full bathroom with bath/shower, washbasin and toilet, one separate WC with hand basin and an ensuite shower to the main bedroom. So even if you are in a large family or grup of 8, you should never have to wait for the bathroom!
Downstairs the open plan living room/kitchen includes 2 sofas, dining table and chairs and a fully fitted and equipped kitchen with gas hob and double electric oven.
The double glass doors lead out to a gravelled south facing terrace where guests can dine under a pergola or relax on a sunlounger as you admire the flowers or watch the ponies grazing
There is a swing set for younger guests, boules for everyone and a table tennis that can be erected in five minutes. A toddlers' paddling pool is available on request.

Lovely welcome in Suisse Normande
Jenny was a warm and welcoming host from the moment we booked the property, which was in a great location, complete with ponies, dogs, and peace and quiet! There is so much to do in Suisse Normande, you could spend weeks here and not do it all. We had plenty of room in the house, lovely outside space and everything you needed in the kitchen. Highly recommended!

A Beautiful Haven
We have just spend a lovely week in this traditional Gite set in the heart of the Suisse Normandy countryside. The host, Jenny, was so attentive and made sure we had everything we needed. The property was well equipped and the garden a welcome escape from the hot weather. There are some lovely towns and activities a short drive away especially in and around Clécy but also some beautiful walks straight from the cottage.

Perfect location for our day trips in the area. The host gave wonderful recommendations for places to eat dinner. And per her suggestion we spent time at a place we had not known about previously. We all loved it and are so grateful she told us about it.

Wonderful stay
The cottage had absolutely everything we could think of to enjoy our stay here and the location is stunning. Jenny was very friendly and our boys very much appreciated her letting them have a ride on her mare! We had a wonderful week staying at Jenny's cottage and would highly recommend it, whether you want to explore the area or just relax in the beautiful surroundings.

Wonderfully relaxing
Jenny’s gite was a peaceful, quite and relaxing haven to retire to after bustling days enjoying Normandy. The location is convenient to the D-Day beaches, Mont St-Michel, Falaise, and many other venues. The gite is accurately described. Jenny actively communicated prior to our stay. We were treated personally by Jenny and her pets with offerings of local cider and local restaurant recommendations. She was readily available for any issues while allowing privacy- the perfect host. Our children especially enjoyed the opportunity to play with Honey (the dog), pet kittens and see the resident horse and ponies. The upstairs room served as a wonderful ‘kids only’ zone One of the highlights of our European holiday is getting to know the locals- Jenny joined us on our last evening for cocktails and lively conversation filled with more information about the area and life in Normandy than could have been gained with a multi-day tour guide. All in all an excellent stay and a great value.

A little Gem
Well where do we start. Our hostess Jen was an absolute star. She couldn’t have been kinder or more informative for our first trip to Normandie. She exceeded our expectations as did her unique house. It is in a beautiful rural area so people be aware “ you need a car”, unless you just want to chill in the beautiful countryside. The local area is also lovely and a hearty walk to Clecy will not disappoint. Local cheeses and ciders are a must as are the artisan sausages with the delicious bread. We had our 2 dogs with us hence picking Jen’s house and we will miss the gorgeous honey and the ponies which my husband loved to help with. Overall we cannot recommend this beautiful place and it’s even more lovely lovely owner Jen. We miss u already 😔. A bientot Norte Amis The Smith/Browns.

An ideal family gite for lovers of animals and the countryside.
We spent ten very happy days here, part of the time with family staying too, and found the cottage quite roomy enough for us six. Having read and re-read the reviews I find it hard to add anything to Robert's helpful one below, but I will try! Jenny welcomed us warmly, and it was a pleasure and privilege getting to know her and her extensive animal family, especially Honey the dog, Ellie the cat and the ponies. Our young grandsons loved the animals, and Jenny clearly loves sharing her home. She gave the boys an excellent first experience of riding, making sure they were safe and encouraging their confidence. Thank you, Jenny. As for the gite itself, we found it well-equipped, with comfy sofas, and everything as in the photographs. There was plenty of hot water and the beds were comfortable. It was most useful having two W.Cs! Although the gite was a relaxed and functional family space there were also some lovely decorative touches, not least the gorgeous dresser with its attractive pots and jugs. Parking was the easiest we have ever encountered - a large level area of gravel adjoining the cottage. There was a big collection of local brochures and information, the Wi-Fi worked well, and of course Jenny herself knows everything about the area and advised us on restaurants/days out. We enjoyed discovering the Suisse Normande, especially the river at Clecy/Le Vey; the children enjoyed the water activities there and the luge au rail was great fun for all. We had time to visit Falaise castle and also Bayeux and the Normandy beaches - all ideal for day trips. For couples who enjoy French food we thoroughly recommend the Pomme d'Ouilly, just a few miles away, and best to book as it's quite small. Clecy is nearby (five - ten minutes by car) and has an excellent bakers, (pain au raisins the size of tea plates), a handy small supermarket, post office with ATM, and a pharmacy. Jenny's directions to the gite were immaculate, and we shall not forget the peace and quiet that surrounds you as the lanes gradually shrink and the views appear. Nights are totally silent, apart from occasional owls, and the local walks are a huge pleasure. To be in the heart of such country yet only an hour from the ferry was superb.
