1 - Just to let you know we had a really nice time the kids loved it, we spent plenty of time on the beach at Houlgate (How nice and olde worldy is that place, great restaurants) Then to come back to the house and light up the big barbie, sitting in the fantastic garden drinking wine listening to the birds as we did most evenings , we also did see the red Squirrels only once. It was bliss thanks. PS We will definitely return Review added by Paul Germaine (July-2010) 2 - Just like to say thank you for letting us have your beautiful house, we had a fantastic time and enjoyed the peaceful garden, and started reading again with no stress, we will definately retun.(Oh the peace & quiet, heavenly). Thanks again John & Tina Review added by John Taylor (Aug 2010) 3 - I have stayed at this house many times over the years, it just gets better and better. There is everything and more that you could wish for in a holiday home and then there is the superb private gardens so peaceful and relaxing. There is plenty to see and do nearby, and the lovely sandy beaches are near by. I look forward to my next visit. Review added by Garrie Clark (Sept-2010) 4 - Dear Paul, I thought I would write to thank you and to let you know how much we enjoyed our holiday. We thought the house and gardens were beautiful. The accomodation was excellent in every respect, and we were very comfortable. Ken and I were especially happpy with our room with the ensuite, and the other rooms and the big bathroom were perfect for our daughter son-in law and two grandsons. The two boys had such fun in the garden. We were especially lucky with the weather which was perfect - much better than we had hoped for. We were a little puzzled on the day we arrived at the number of police that we saw as we came down the autoroute and crossed the Pont de Normandie. Then they were on every roundabout between Pont-L'Eveque and Douzle. We wondered if someone had warned them that we were coming!! Later in the Tourist Information office we discovered that the G8 meeting was being held the following Thursday/Friday in Deauville. It didn't make any difference to us - in fact it was quite exciting with all the helicopters flying overhead - and we just gave Deauville to Honfleur a wide berth until it was all over. Unfortunatly Ken and I had to come home a couple of days early, as he needed an operation which was booked in for Monday 6th of June, and we needed to get back in time. We left the locking up in the capable hands of our daughter, so I do hope that everything was alright. We enjoyed our time in Normandy so much, and as there were plenty of things that we did not get round to doing we hope that - health allowing -we might get back to the area again in the future. Again, many thanks. Hilary and Ken. Review added by Hillary & Ken Wyatt (June 2011) 5 - Hello Mr Baker we have really enjoyed our stay at your house !! It was very comfortable, having the 2 bathrooms with 4 persons. The position is very good to visit the places we wanted to see, no big distances. It is placed idyllic and quiet. Also in the kitchen there was more than enough equipment, really good. In comparison to other houses we stayed at which were very poorly equiped. Again, we really enjoyed it and will recommend to others ! Judy de Baar & family Holland October 2011 6 - Hi Paul, Just returned from our holiday in France which we enjoyed, thank you. The house is very spacious and in fabulous grounds, it's definitely the "Get away from it all" type holiday, and the directions you sent were spot on. It's great that you are pet friendly as our Golden retriever Zack just loved the garden, it's just a shame the weather wasn't too good for the first five days but it cleared up towards the latter end of the week. The house is very handy for Dozule, which had plenty amenities and everything you need, banks, bakery's Supermarket and the all important very nice Vet plus lots of other shops. We were only a couple of hours drive from Mont.St, Michel which is well worth a visit so are the war memorial museums at Pegasus Bridge and D Day beaches, we learnt a lot about the horror's on 6th June 1944, how horrific that must have been for people. We also enjoyed Port Guillaume, a lovely peaceful harbour to have lunch or evening meal. Anyone visiting Dozule with a dog, the Hotel Normande in the town allows you to have a meal in their restaurant if your dog is well behaved, which Thankfully Zack is. All in all, we saw some wonderful places and really enjoyed our stay in France. Thank you so much. Kathy. Kathy Hubble September 2011 7 - Paul - Excellent holiday had by all.
