Rustiek gezellig huis, alles wat je nodig hebt is er. Zeer vriendelijke eigenaars. Zeer gezellige plek midden in de natuur, mooi verzorgd, het is als thuiskomen. Heel veel te doen in de omgeving. Een echte aanrader.
I wish our 4 day stay could have been 4 weeks.
The perfect location mid-way between the Invasion beaches and Mont San-Michele.
The setting is beautiful, quiet and enchanting.
Clean - comfortable - workable.
The hosts provide for any and all needs.
We hope to be back for a longer stay.
We had a lovely week-long stay at le Moulin lâeveque - a real home from home with a warm welcome. Loved the flowers from the garden and home made jam in the spotless kitchen on arrival (as well as the cider in the fridge!). Very comfortable beds/bedrooms with lovely furniture and decorative touches - with the windows ajar you enjoy the sound of the water in the mill-race which is really soothing. Easy to get from here to local sights, and Johnny and Lynn are both really helpful with suggestions to suit the weather and the travellers! The barn is a lovely social space for visitors to mingle if they so wish, and the opportunity to pick our own fruit from the garden was such fun, as was meeting the various animals of the establishment. We and our children loved the location and the house, and hope to return in the future.
Delightful cottages built around an old watermill on the river Vire.
Spent 9 nights at Moulin l'Eveque and loved every minute of it. Delightful cottages stand in a wonderful location, spacious and very well equipped. The hosts, Lynn and John, couldn't do enough. John arranged for the appointment with the local vet and prepared bikes so my boys could cycle the area. We played table tennis in the barn and enjoyed the log fire in the barn. The cottage is ideally located for all of Normandie's attraction. We were lucky with the weather, canued up and down the river and cycled the local area and visited the viaduct several times. Our springer cross loved playing with Azure and in the river. We found it hard to leave and will definitely go back. Lynn's jam is heavenly.
Beautiful space and charming property, in this idyllic spot, relaxation, peace and great hosts.
We stayed in the larger property, and our hosts Johnny and Lynn were fantastic, nothing was too much trouble and when discussing plans they were happy to offer up suggestions for places to eat, visit etc. To be honest we looked at all the gites and we are planning a return trip with a larger party of friends. The barn was well equipped to chill out in and socialise, playing table tennis, or just chatting, we felt totally at home. Our 8 year old loved the animals (2 x horses, 2 x cats and Azure the beautiful dog), he fed the horses, and was fascinated by looking for wildlife around the property (heron, kingfisher and the coypou in the river), as well as frisbee and kayakking. The facilities were well equipped, and the children and us enjoyed the odd night of english telly, and wifi when we needed a change of pace. To be honest its good to be able to switch off relax and let the children roam about.
I recommend visiting the wine shop in the village of Beny-Bocage, recommended by Johnny and we couldn't stop going back!
We enjoyed a few days just relaxing at the farm, the rest of the time we were ideally located to travel across Normandy, we went to Bayeaux (recommend the tapestry), some lovely meals, the beaches were fantastic, Laurent sur-Mer was a favourite and worth the drive. Granville was fantastic, and we visited Hon Fleur, which was worth it but we were ripped off by the restaurants on the front, we should have explored more but were hungry.
Children activities were a-plenty, both at the Gites and also nearby - the boys loved the Alligator farm and the Zoo at Jurques was great.
We will be returning, such a great holiday.. made some beautiful memories and some great friends. We didn't have enough time to properly take in the wonderful historic sites, as we ensured we spent enough time relaxing at a slower pace.
