Chateau with Pool 88 acres sleeps 12+, 5 1/2bathrooms, pond private oasis<br>

We had a great time! We were two families (though the property could have easily taken more) getting away after so many months at home, and this was exactly what we wanted. Plenty of space for the kids to run around, the pool was great, loads of space inside the house, the grounds were amazing (made for a great game of hide and seek) and Kelly and Tony were great hosts.

Dear Kelly, we came 2 families to your amazing château, beautiful place with all what we needed. The château is surrounded with beautiful nature, amazing garden, farm with animals for the kids and all the facilities that families need for perfect holiday. The swimming pool was clean, we had many beautiful rooms, and the kitchen was equipped with even more then we needed . We recommend to come to your place, and we hope to come again . Thank you so much for everything, you were available for us to every question and we hope to see you again in the future!!!

This was my second time staying at the chateau and it is one of my favorite places to visit! The house is perfect, the rooms are spacious, and the property is beautiful! Kelly is the best! Loved making bonfires by the pond, and feeding the horses. There are many towns a short drive away where you can find everything you need! Would definitely visit again this place is amazing!!!

What a wonderful place to spend time with good friends! We cooked in the well equipped kitchen and on the BBQ, had a wine tasting, went for walks, antiquing, lunches out, several of the Normandy sites... I could go on! We loved our relaxing visit and maybe next year the husbands can come! Thank you for sharing your warm home with us! Linda D.

Felt the need to write a review that is long overdue! My girlfriends and I (small group of 6) have gone many times over the last decade. The Chateau is a historic, french country home with ample space for all of us. It is as though you have stepped back into a simpler place and time. This is to me its biggest charm. It allows our group to connect with each other, which is one of the reasons we have gone back time and tiime again. The locals are frinedly and inclusive, which adds so much to the experience. My poor attempts to speak french are greeted warmly. There are so many amazing sites. Omaha beaches are a must. Unbelieveable and very moving! Also love Cancale where you sit on the beach and eat all the oysters you can. Lots of great towns close by with great shopping and historical sites. Love Coutances and Granville. The weekends briing great markets and massive town yard sales (like nothing you have ever seen) . The hunt to find great gifts to bring back to the states for only a euro or 2 makes for a fun day. The sausage baguette is breakfast...can never get enough of those. YUM!! They are at every market and town sale. The real charm is staying at the house at the end of the day. We always dine out for lunch but dinner at the house infront of the massive fireplace keeps us warm all night long. Do make plans for a car, as you will need it. If you want a driver and tour guide, that is also available. Contact the owner, who can give you ample names for driving, catering and other services. I have done both. First time there, I recommend driver so you sit back, relax and take in the sites. Beautiful country! If you feel the need to dance, only 5 minutes away is (in the middle of a field) a disco. Its a hoot....always fun stories to share later. Normandy is truly one of my favorite places in Europe. So much to see and this place is charming and unique.....always a good time. Lynn Stuart, FL

We had the best time in Normandy at this completely authentic French chateau. Location is perfect for seeing all the tourist spots in Normandy and exploring all the surrounding towns. The house itself is so beautiful -- built in the 1600s and all its charm preserved. Kelly was so helpful before and during our stay, and we look forward to returning here on our next trip!

The property is gorgeous and the house even more so. While we spent quite a bit of time exploring different things in and around Normandy we also found ourselves spending hours on the property itself. When we return to France we will be stopping by Normandy if for no other reason than to stay here. Thank you Mrs. Corbett for a fantastic experience and being so helpful prior to and during our time in this beautiful home!

After fruitless attempts at dialogue with Ms Corbett and after seeing recent "reviews" we feel obliged to post the following factual account of our two weeks in August 2016. A very disappointing experience. This is an eccentric Maison de Maitre with most of the facilities, décor and furnishings being of the standard of my great-grandmother's 1950s house in a similar rural setting, close to a farm. The advertised specification (as of August 2015) was misleading in parts. Things may have changed, but for us (6 professional adults and 4 teenagers): - We found ourselves living in a house which had not been "restored" in the modern sense of the word. - There were few modern conveniences - UK Sky basic service excepted. - There was no tumble dryer. It was lying in a heap in the utility room. - The promised mid-rent change of bedding did not happen. We had to find clean bedding and change the beds ourselves. - Archaic - we would argue probably unsafe - kitchen facilities with inadequate cooking equipment and the smallest microwave imaginable. - We had to deal with some exposed electric wiring (there was a 2 year old in the party), and dubious wiring system standard generally. - Constant battle with flies because of the neighbouring farm and unhygienic kitchen. In some winds a rich animal dung smell from a not very well managed farm. - Generally unsuitable sports equipment. For example, we had to buy table tennis bats and balls. - The pool is not adjacent to the house but is close to the cottage, some 60 metres away, which can be rented separately. The pool was not fenced. - The poolside cabana is actually part of the cottage. - There is easy access to but 2 to 3 acres of the advertised large estate. - We were warned that eating any fish caught in the "stocked pond" was unsafe. - Crucially, there were no instructions for electrical appliances, television, DVD and VCR(!) players, access to fuel or anything else. The only relief was that the concierge was as helpful as she could be (and luckily we speak French) but gave us Gallic shrugs and smiles to all the above. It was very disappointing. It merits but a 1 of a 5 star rating. Ms Corbett has had some months to respond to a draft of this review but has chosen silence. -
