A great base for our 1st holiday abroad with children. We have had a lovely week – highlights for recommended days out are Cite de la Mer, Zoo de Champrepus and Jardin botanique du Chateaux de Vanville. I think Daniel would have been happy staying on site all week. With thanks.

Thank you for a lovely stay. The supply of all the baby equipment is a real help and the baby sitting service a bonus. The village is a great location for discovery Manche. We particularly enjoyed the Zoo de Champrepus, a day trip to Bayeux and the D. Day history. We also had a lovely dinner at the local restaurant in Nehou - a very friendly place!

We had a great stay despite the weather and found the cottage really comfortable and great for crawling babies. We felt incredibly welcome, Tom and I loved having the meals in our cottage – it really felt like a holiday and they were delicious! Thank you for going the extra mile on the dairy free! We will definitely be back! Thank You.
