La Vallée Une superbe propriété locative dans la région rurale de Fresville en Normandie

The holiday cottage is perfectly equipped, there is everything avaiable, which you need also for a longer stay. On arrival we also found some food as a welcome package (baguette, milk, butter, beer, jams, wine, fruit juice) thank you very much! This house has been beautifully renovated, everything is very clean and well maintained. The communication with the owner was excellent, in case of questions or problems we could ask the very friently neighbours who were happy to help. We had a very nice stay in this very rural and quiet neighbourhood, which is also great for hiking. A 1:25000 scale hiking map is available in the cottage. Interesting D-Day destinations are in the immediate vicinity.

We had a very pleasant stay at this very nice and clean gite, at the heart of La Manche. Fresville (Magneville) is very small but it is close to everything you need. It is very close to a lot of interesting sites regarding WWII, so as a base from which to explore La Manche it was fantastic! Communication with the host was fast, honest and to the point. We would recommend this gite to everyone!

We have just returned from a second stay in this beautiful house. It's a home from home with towels and linens provided. You do need to drive into Sainte Mere Eglise for shops as the nearest village doesn't have any but this is clear in the description of the location. This time, as well as visiting the stunning beaches and ports, we discovered two small towns nearby, Bricquebec and St Sauveur le Vicompte, both with Medieval castles which we somehow missed last time. Other reviewers have said about the weak wifi but I know in rural locations it's a bit hit and miss so I tended to rely on my phone wifi if the signal was weak. Nick got back to me quickly when I had a couple of queries. I highly recommend this gite.

Nous avons trouvé une maison bien propre, confortable avec tout ce qu'il faut pour notre arrivée et de très bonnes bouteilles de vin. Mais la maison est très sombre. Le soleil y entre peu. L'isolation entre les chambres n'existe pas (une chambre n'a pas de porte) et l'on entend tout d'une pièce à l'autre. Il manque aussi quelques équipements. Surtout des rideaux occultants pour ne pas avoir la lumière la nuit et une essoreuse à salade. Il n'y a pas de réseau téléphonique et Internet est quasiment inaccessible. Nous étions à la campagne avec ses avantages et ses inconvénients. ( Chiens qui aboient coq qui chante...) Globalement nous nous sommes sentis bien dans la maison et Nick a toujours été attentif à nos besoins.

we stayed one week on this location. Very quite environment and friendly people. The house is really very nice and clean (as on the pictures and sometimes even better). Congratulations also to the housekeeper for their assistance when needed. It is a nice location with a lot of possibilities for sightseeing within reasonable distances. I would recommend this location to everyone who love a nice house, a quite environment, and especially for those who are interested in the second world war (D-day) Walter Blommaert

My wife, son (23) and I stayed here over Christmas and had a wonderful time. The cottage had everything to meet our needs and was warm and welcoming on our arrival. The welcoming pack of wine, bread, jam beers was a real treat due to arriving on a Sunday and with it being Christmas, the owners had also left us a Christmas card and small gift - A very nice touch by Nick Gill. The cottage was well equipped for cosy nights in with the log fire, English Free-view TV, DVD WIFI (only available in the living room and slow for my sons liking). There was plenty of English DVD's to choose from and it was funny how many of the DVD's we brought that the owners already had on the shelves. The kitchen is well equipped to prepare meals and my wife cooked us an excellent Christmas dinner. The cottage is ideally placed to explore the WW2 landing beaches and is a short drive to the history of Sainte-Mère-Église and Carentan. Slightly closer is the town of Montebourg (also steeped in WW2 history) and it looked stunning with its Christmas lights and shops all nicely decorated. There was also a lovely decorated patisserie that we visited on a number of occasions after coming out of the local bar-tabac. The pictures in the description of the cottage married up to what we found on our arrival and the decoration was impeccable. It is the little luxuries of shower caps, soaps, shampoo, the arrival pack and Christmas gift that sets this cottage above all the others we have stayed in. Although it is very quiet at Christmas time, the area offered everything we wanted and we all had a wonderful Christmas and felt relaxed from start to finish.

We have just returned from a wonderful week in this house in Normandy. The gite has been tastefully and comfortably furnished and felt exceptionally spacious for a family of five. Our children are older: 19, 17 and 14 and they loved the large sitting room with its satellite TV and DVD player and the space they had in their bedrooms. The sitting/dining room is an amazing space and if you're interested in the area's WW2 history, you will find plenty of dvds and literature on the shelves. The standard of cleanliness was tip-top and the owners had provided a nice welcome pack of wine, French bread, butter, jam, beer and fresh milk - so thoughtful and welcome after a long drive. We have stayed in Normandy many times but never so far into the Cotentin penisular. The coastline is beautiful and wilder than on the main coast and even though we had already visited all the museums in the area on previous holidays, exploring the towns, coast and country side kept us busy all week. The wifi worked well but only in the sitting room on our devices. We have found this in other gites out in the countryside.
