| | | | Review by Graeme Woodhouse from Witney
Calvados appears to have something for everyone. It is great if you are interested in history(D-Day beaches and museums), the countryside (Suisse Normande area), landmarks (Mont St Michel, Honfleur), adventure (rafting, bungee jumping, abseiling or shopping and nightlife (Caen). This was our second visit to the area and we discovered so much more to do that a week was not long enough. Great transport links make getting around easy and the people are very polite and welcoming. Would love to go back to do all the things we still havent managed to fit in!
Review by KATHY naylor from southend
The farmhouse was utterly charming, very French, well equipped and comfortable with lots of extras which made it home from home. Very helpful owners. We went in the heart of winter and were glad we'd packed warm pyjamas!!
This is a chance to get a real piece of rural france - the neighbours were 2 black and white cows!! Lovely local walks - a shame the restaurant at the end of the road was closed as it's being sold - that would have made an excellent, and close, watering hole. The nearest town/village was a little too far to walk with a 3 year old but had supermarkets, bakers, lovely square etc about 5 minutes drive away.
Great access to the coast (about an hour, maybe a bit under) Mont St Michel and Granville made lovely and easily accessible days out, as did Bayeux and Caen. Unbelievably close to Festyland if you haver kids (about 20 mins down the road) - great day out!!
Highly recommend this house, found it through this site and would use both again.
