Review Submitted: 5/28/2010

Why not read for yourself what some of our guests have had to say about La Coulonge and then come and see for yourself and enjoy it as much as they did!

We stayed at La Coulonge for just shy of a week and absolutely loved it! The house itself is beautifully decorated and you can tell that the owner has put a lot of thought into making it not only look lovely, but also comfortable and full of all the little things a guest would need to make it a home away from home. We were provided with great directions, which made the house easy to find, and it is located in the beautiful and quiet Normandy countryside that is within easy driving distance of many visitor attractions.We loved it so much we are seriously considering purchasing a place in the area in the next few years!

It was absolutely fabulous. Still enjoying some holiday glow, hope it lasts.Your place is amazing, thanks so much. We had horrible weather unfortunately, poured every day, and I mean poured. We had the weather from the UK that caused all the flooding. It was cool, so we did have to use the heater to take the chill. We read some books, had great nights sleep and teriffic food. Your cherry tree was full of fruit, we munched on a few. Everything went well, your restaurant tips and instructions were great. We hope to go back again someday, it was an amazing place.

We are back in England after a wonderful time in Normandie - every day sunshine. Your cottage is wonderful, we had so much fun staying there. Thank you for your lovely note and the bottle of wine - we arrived about 6pm so we just took the wine into the garden and realised straight away this was going to be a wonderful holiday. I used your lovely recipe book for a couple of recipes - we all love cooking and your kitchen is very well equipped. I loved the central island for preparation and everyone drinking their wine and chatting. Great fun. Wish I was back there. Once again many thanks,
Jackie Ward, England

We loved La Coulonge and got all excited about a buying a place out there..... as I'm sure so many other people do too! It was great having some things already in the kitchen - often we stay in places where you have to buy everything, this way you can use a bit of what's there already and leave things for others to use!
David Owen, Calgary, Canada

Well, our stay at La Coulonge surpassed my expectations - You have an incredibly beautiful home in an inspiring setting. The house is extremely comfortable and your kitchen is wonderful - we had such a great time going to the markets and coming back to house to whip up a french feast! We went to St. Malo, (fantastic) Mont St. Michel, Juno Beach, Chateau Carrouges, Chateau Lassy, Alencon and just about every small town and boulangerie in between. We felt very fortunate to have all of those experiences and look forward to
going back.

We got back late last night and had a fantastic time, it was a long journey but was well worth it when we pulled up and got in the house.well what can i say? your house is stunning! we were all doing a little dance of celebration in your gorgeous kitchen for finding such a gem! It is definitely home from home and made for a perfect xmas. Thanks for all the help & advice and for letting out your lovely home.Happy New Year All the best - Tasha & family - Keynes, Buckinghamshire, Christmas 2008

What can we say! Our time at La Coulonge was superb, peaceful, tranquil, and all within 5 to 10 minutes drive to all services and facilities. We loved your kitchen and ate at the island every evening, having only used your beautiful dining room suite once. Your neighbours are very discreet but still managed to sneak over eggs and vegies at our kitchen door most mornings without being seen. We made a day trip to Paris by train, very easy and quick and were back at La Coulonge by 10 pm, a lovely day. So many things to see in the area though, chateaux, markets, vide greniers, brocantes, D Day landing beaches, Mont St Michel, two weeks weren't enough we need to go back. Again thank you for everything, especially the wine on arrival and the great directions and restaurant recommendations. T. Dodd, Calgary - April 2009

The feedback, we had a GREAT time. Do you have any availability in Sept? That's how much we loved it! Regards, P Paul, West Sussex - May 2009

La Coulonge was fab, we felt totally relaxed, your home has everything and more for self catering. Cheers, E. Ravenhill, Birmingham - June 2009

We both had a wonderful time in your lovely home, so relaxing! Thank you and we have already recommended La Coulonge to some friends. Hope to return in the near future.
S. Phillips, England - July 2009

Directions and recommendations excellent. We have thoroughly enjoyed the peace and tranquility of your beautiful home. Visited most of the area - Domfront, Flers, Lassay Le Chateau (castle and tour guide excellent), Mont St Michel (truly impressive) and of course beautiful Bagnoles sur L'Orne which we seemed to visit nearly every day.

What a wonderful home you have it was simply stunning we could have stayed for ever and you have the most wonderful neighbours. We had a fab time both our teenage kids loved it and wanted to stay in France for ever.
thank you again

We had a wonderul time and the babies both 18months shared the single room and loved it. Your house is wonderful and we had stunning weather. We would definitely love to holiday at your place again as we loved it.
We definitely think you should take more photos as we had no idea how big and beautiful your home was.
J. Cole, Norwich, Norfolk - August 2009

We had a really relaxing time in your lovely cottage, the nicest we have been in over many years of using gites throughout France. Would love to return but for a longer time. We had a nice time the previous week right in the centre of Bayeux, but La Coulonge was the "Icing on the cake". Until the next time, take care.

La Coulonge exceeded our expections and was great for two couples. The location allowed us to drive from Paris, about two hours and tour the Normandy region easily. We explored west to Mont St. Michel and as far north as the D Day beaches. La Coulonge was extremely well equipped for foodies to cook meals with great wine, music and ambience. Most staples were available. (Much appreciated!) It was located just outside a small village so we could buy fresh croissants each morning but were nestled quietly in our little enclave. It was very peaceful to return 'home' after a day of touring. Lots of good tips were provided about sights, bike rentals, restaurants, etc. Great food was so readily available we cooked in most evenings.
L. and J. Thompson, Calgary, Canada, September 2009.

Tout ce que l'on peut esperer pour un sejour fantastic. Le gite est totalement equippe, nous n'avons manquer de rien. Une location formidable. Merci milles fois et nous serons de retour.
D. et D. Ladouceur, Montreal, Octobre 2009

This sets the standard for all gite holidays! The cottage is well equipped and spotless in an idyllic location surrounded by farmland. We couldn't have chosen a more relaxed venue. The kitchen was stocked on our arrival with coffee, tea, spices, condiments, and a lovely bottle of wine which was very welcome after a long journey. Loads of info from the moment you make contact, everything is so easy. The house is even better than it looks in the photos, was spotlessly clean and the lawn was immaculate. A fantastic cottage which we will definitely recommend.
M. & L. Kotris, Calgary, Canada - October 2009

We really had a lovely stay in your home, it's beautiful and has everything we needed. We feel so relaxed now!
It was lovely to see the D-Day beaches, Mt St Michel etc and to come back to a cosy home and light the fire. Lots of great touches to the house that have given my mum plenty of ideas for future interior design ideas for her own house! L. Ross-Wood - Buckinghamshire , December 2009

Birthday celebrations are always special, but part of this special 90th birthday celebration was spent sipping local French champagne, snuggled up by the fire at La Coulonge. The beautiful old house and wonderful scenery was so peaceful and inviting. All of your directions and suggestions worked perfectly, I just wish we had a little more time to explore further, but with the wintery weather and short time, we made the most of your lovely home, enjoying its ambience. Thank you so much!
Anne English and Sugarfoot Anderson, Calgary - February 2010.

Wanted to say thank-you for such a charming home; you put a lot of thought into decorating and comfort and it made our stay truly memorable. We are so relaxed! We really loved our week in Normandy and at La Coulonge. We truly hope to return someday.
A. Gray and Family, Dulles, VA, USA, March 2010

We had a wonderful, relaxing break at La Coulonge. It was everything we had hoped for and more. We did quite a bit of travelling while there - we went to Paris, travelled all round the local area, went to the war graves at Omaha Beach which was such a humbling experience and did a bit of retail therapy for the kids in Caen and Bayeux. The best thing was being able to return to La Coulonge and totally chill out. We will certainly return to your beautiful home. Many thanks, also, for the gift of the bottle of wine - what a lovely thoughtful gesture.
The Conroys - Dundee, April 2010

Just wanted to say thank you. We had a lovely week at La Coulonge. Sincere thanks to your neighbour - she was so lovely showing Jessica her rabbits, chickens, fish and dog! And thank you to her as well for the apples she generously gave us. Further, thank you for the bottle of wine on arrival. We absolutely loved the area, and enjoyed the woods in Bagnoles - great for little ones to run around in. We've started to look for our own place in Normandy now, so we may be in touch again in future to stay while we're house-hunting.
Dave and Lisa, Bedfordshire - April 2010

We all had a lovely time at La Coulonge thank you. The layout, size and finish of the rooms was superb; our daughter loved running around the garden while we enjoyed lunch on the patio when the weather allowed. We would love to stay again the next time we holiday in Normandy.
Neil & Christine, Devon - May 2010
*****
We were delighted with the property. We have stayed in many barn conversions over the years but none
were as good as this. It was so nice to have quality kitchen appliances and good bathrooms with plenty of hot water as well as comfortable furniture and beds. We have already recommended your house to my brother and to some friends.
