Perfect location
We had a lovely stay and the house was in a perfect location for visiting other areas of Normandy. The house is charming and quaint, Our biggest problem was that it was so hard to find! The description says “Dampsmesnil “ and that is where we drove to, however the house is actually in Aveny! Arthur was a delight to work with,

Le cadre très charmant du cottage et son jardin ont rendu ce week-end passé entre amis mémorable. On se serait cru dans un conte d’enfant de part l’aspect idyllique et champêtre de cette maison traditionnelle dans la région. La maison bien équipée bénéficie d’une grande cuisine/salle à mangé, idéale pour les grandes tablées. La cheminée et les poêles permettent de profiter en intérieur si la météo n’est pas clémente. Je recommande à 100%

Maison de campagne au calme et pleine de charme
La maison est très belle et authentique, bien équipée et en bonne état général, fidèle aux photos de l'annonce. Nous avons beaucoup apprécié les moments de convivialité près de la grande cheminée et le fait que la cuisine soit ouverte sur la salle à manger. Parfait pour un séjour en famille et entre amis. Le seul bémol est la petite taille du jardin, peut-être un peu limitée pour les enfants. Nous reviendrons avec plaisir.
