Large house great location
We stayed as a family of 15 for some relaxation and to explore the area. We’ve had a fab time. The house was easily big enough and well equipped. Some of the lights didn’t work, however this was explained to us as a problem with the electrics. The description should perhaps say that 2 of the single rooms are accessed through a double bedroom. The house would be no good for anyone with mobility issues as there are a lot of steps, some of which are quite rickety. These are things which I thought needed mentioning but overall the house, grounds and pool were perfect for our group.

Brilliant week
There were 15 of us, ranging from 3 yrs to 80 and the house is wonderful in many respects. It is spacious, with ample bedrooms and different lounges where you can hide away if you need. The facilities for kids are awesome… snooker, table tennis, swimming pool and lots more! It is 15 mins from Falaise where there’s a choice of supermarkets. We all loved it and the time went so quickly. Benoit the ownerwas around if needed … such lovely people. The house is very special . We loved it and its history is fascinating! Thank you Benoit for letting us all enjoy your house and pool, it gave us such great memories .

A Lovely 10 Days In Normandy...
This is the second time that we have stayed in Benoire's lovely French Farmhouse as we stayed in the May Half Term last year. Plenty of space for our family of 12. Easy drive down from he ferry at Oueistram. The weather this time wasn't quite as good as last year but we found plenty of things to do.

GOLDEN WEDDING CELEBRATION
There were 15 of us 7 adults ( 2 couples) and 8 children aged 6 to 16 from 2 families for our Golden Wedding celebrations. The house was very good and the activities wonderful - the children loved being able to swim, play table tennis, pool, trampoline, play chess and the piano not to mention hide and seek in the beautiful grounds and house. Wifi was mainly available only in one room but we didnt mind that. An additional bath/ shower room would have been handy with a few more washbasins but didnt matter. It was a truly memorable holiday and we hope to return. It was great to feel that the family were prepared to share some of their long history and treasures with us so generously. Ann Templeman

A Wonderful Week In Normandy....
We had a marvellous family holiday in this large comfortable manor house. We were a group of 7 adults and 4 children. The property would easily accomodate more people. We were really lucky with the weather but if we had had wet days I'm sure there was enough inside to keep the children amused. Delightful part of France. Easy to get to via the car ferry to Caen. Very rural but lovely towns a short drive away. Benoir & Martine were the perfect hosts. As previously mentioned the on line pictures do not do it justice. We will definitely be back!

A wonderful stay in a magnificent old house
Stayed 28th May - 4th June 2022 We chose this property as it was big enough for our large family. It didn't disappoint. Plenty of bedrooms over three floors, a large kitchen, dining area, games/dining area, four separate lounge areas and a snooker/pool room. Despite the size it felt safe for our younger grandchildren with plenty of gates and cots. A large garden with a trampoline and a heated outdoor swimming pool. Also a fish pond and dipping pond which the children loved. If you want a traditional French style holiday, this is perfect. Although there was a slight language barrier, any messages via email were always answered quickly by Benoit and Martine. Overall we were delighted with our stay. Mike and Sue Webb

A lovely, big, old, remote, well-equipped house with acres of room inside and out - despite there being 13 of us (8 adults, 5 children under 8) we were never on top of each other. Kids loved the pool (as did the grown ups), the grounds and the trampoline. . Great value

Lovely spacious property in rural Normandy
We had a great week staying at Le Logis. The house was huge and well equipped for our party of 13 (Ages 8 to 75). The house has a lot of character and was so different to the houses we all live in in the UK that it really made our holiday. Kinga was a superb host who provided all the information that we needed and made us feel very welcome when we arrived. The 7 kids enjoyed being in such an large property and had the entire top floor complete with bathroom to themselves. The swimming pool, pool table and gardens were perfect for them to enjoy. Alan visited a couple of times to maintain the pool which meant it was always clean. The kitchen, dining room and lounges gave us plenty of room for family dinners and to find quiet spaces when they were needed. Like others we were pleasantly surprised by the amount of space in the house. The ground floor bedroom with en-suite was a real plus as it meant Gran and Grandad could have their own room without needing to climb the stairs. Croissant run to Trun in the mornings was just 7 mins, Falaise has everything you need with a big Carrefour and the Monday market at Saint Pierre-sur-Dives was fun. Best property we’ve stayed in!

Excellent!
We had a fabulous week staying here. I agree with the other reviewers that the photos do not do the house justice - it is really big! There were 15 of us (8 adults & 7 children) and the house was more than big enough for everyone to spread out and enjoy the facilities. The children's lounge, the snooker/pool room, the table tennis in the barn and the swimming pool itself were definite favourites! The grounds were fun for the children to explore and run around in and the house itself was very well equipped. Kinga & Phillippe made us feel very welcome on arrival with drinks for everyone and a thorough tour. I would highly recommend this place!

Superb holiday home in the Normandy countryside
We spent a week here in August 2018 and it was fantastic. We were 3 separate families and there was plenty of room for us all with lots of bedrooms and bathrooms for everyone. The kids had lots of room to run around and there were plenty of things to do including fishing, swimming, table tennis and pool. The House is beautiful inside and out and the grounds spacious and very pretty with views over open countryside. The house had numerous sitting rooms and 2 dining areas. The kitchen was well equipped and the owners were very welcoming and helpful at the beginning and end of our stay. We loved this place and would recommend it to any large family or group looking for a relaxing stay in Normandy.

Fabulous House
We had a wonderful family holiday in this amazing house. Loads of room and far much better than we would have imagined when booking. We had a party of eight including six 20 something adults and we all enjoyed the facilities especially the pool, snooker room and pinball machine along with 10 days of sunshine and temperatures in the 30's. The hosts were wonderful and it really was a home from home with everything you could need to have a lovely holiday. Having three lounges and two games rooms as well as pianos, barbecue and loads of outdoor spaces meant something for everyone and space to chill out. The three bakers, butcher and small supermarket at Trun were great and for larger supermarkets and eating out Falaise was not far away. Falaise Castle and Lisieux Basilica are well worth visiting but if you want real Normandy, off the beaten track and a superb house to stay in this is the place. Definitely one of the places on the list to visit again.

Beautiful Chateau in gorgeous French Countryside.
We spotted the Chateau on the drive into the village of Les Moutiers-en-Auge. It's visible from the road, but set back and the driveway is lined with mature trees. What an amazing first impression! We were greeted by the hosts and their welcome couldn't have been better. We were showed around the house, before they departed and left us to our Holiday. The house and grounds are very well looked after, and the rooms are in excellent condition. Bedding and towels were provided by the hosts. The house is deceptively very large, the photos do not do it justice. We were a family of 3 adults and 10 children, and the house swallowed us with plenty of room. The nearest village of Trun is 5km away, with an array of local shops. There is a small but expensive supermarket. If you need a big shop we would suggest visiting St Pierre Sur Dives, which is 16km away and has a larger supermarket. There is plenty to keep the family entertained, we spent most of our time by the swimming pool, which was attended to three times during our stay. But there was also a pool table, trampoline and table-tennis. The house is a superb base to explore the region. We visited the D-Day landing museum at Omaha beach, which is only 1.25hrs away. The owners have kindly kept a selection of local tourist information brochures in the house. Our only criticism would be that the BBQ is small for the maximum capacity of the house. But that's minor, and we just cooked on the BBQ in two batches.

Fantastic holiday in Les Moutiers En Auge
This property was absolutely stunning, far more beautiful than the pictures show. The house is situated in beautiful countryside and is very well kept and equipped. Mr and Mrs Choquart were very accommodating and were able to let us check in early to suit our travel arrangements. We were met at the house by their son Ben who was very friendly and showed us around the house and where everything that we would need was kept. This was very useful because this house is huge! The bedrooms are large and comfortable and there are three large sitting rooms as well as two very big dining rooms and a billiard room. We had seven children in our group, and there was plenty to keep them occupied whatever the weather with pinball, table football, billiards, trampoline, ping pong and swimming pool all at their disposal. I really cannot recommend this house highly enough, it is wonderful and we were very sad to leave it. We will hopefully be staying again very soon.

Geweldig familiehuis op het platte land van Normandië
Het huis is uit 1789 en ademt de sfeer uit een kostuumfilm. De slaapkamers zijn zo sfeervol gedecoreerd. De keuken is gemoderniseerd en van alle gemakken voorzien. De kinderen hebben zich grandioos vermaakt in de ruime spelletjeskamer, met het tafelvoetbalspel, de trampoline en de vele, vele kamers waar je erg goed verstoppertje kunt spelen! Het was iets te fris om te zwemmen maar het zwembad was wel voor ons gereed gemaakt. Onze hele familie (13 personen) heeft echt een top vakantie gehad in dit prachtige huis. Alleen maar positieve energie, een week lang! Wel goed om te weten dat voorzieningen als winkels en dagtripjes op minimaal 20 minuten rijden van de accomodaties liggen. Voor ons was dit totaal geen probleem, het kwam alleen maar ten goede aan de rust. Nog een extra pluspunt: De eigenaar is enorm behulpzaam! Hij heeft voor ons een erg goede traiteur gevonden die een diner aan huis heeft afgeleverd.

A great place to stay in the Normandy countryside!
After a Covid delay of two years we finally got to spend 10 days in Normandy and this became our home away from home during this period. Built in 1786, and missing it's right "shoulder", it still has plenty of space to offer and had a homely feel to it. It has been modernized but kept the feeling of being an old house and a home with plenty of history (although unknown to us). It has "lived" through the French revolution and been in the middle of the "Falaise pocket" during WW II. The inside, bedrooms and bathrooms, looks a lot better than on the pictures but the outside is well depicted on the Vrbo site. The house provided all we could ask for and exceeded our expectations. We especially enjoyed the multitude of rooms so that our group of 3 families and 10 people could enjoy each other's company in the amount we felt appropriate and all the bedrooms allowed for sleeping arrangements for us all to be able to wake up relaxed in the mornings. Plenty of quiet spots if one wanted to relax a bit. But also excellent areas indoors for us all spending quality time together. The pool table and Addams Family pinball saw a decent amount of action. A bit crowded at times in the kitchen area, especially in the mornings for breakfast, but luckily we had a few teenagers with us that do not know the proper time to eat breakfast. Very well equipped kitchen and everything in good working order. Although very rural, the nearby towns of Falaise and Saint-Pierre-en-Auge provided opportunities for shopping groceries (on our way back from some nice sight-seeing). We still feel that this was a better spot and a bargain compared to staying closer to the coast. We might not have taken the time to travel to Falaise and the other towns in the area if we would have been staying further north. Benoit and Martine were very helpful welcoming us and showing us around the interiors and external facilities, which included the heated pool and the barbecue that we used a lot. The exterior is well taken care of, including daily pool service during our stay. Thank you both for your excellent service! We can really recommend this for anyone looking for a pleasant and quiet (well, there's the church bells at 7am but that "grows on you") holiday in the Normandy area. Hope this review can be helpful for other potential guests. And that you find it accurate. We might definitely come back in a few years.
