Le Refuge : Maison détente et Spa

😊: The location enabled us to travel to different parts of Normandy by vehicle in less time as a mid-point launching pad of sorts. We LOVED the Nordic spa which was heated upon arrival. A treat given the rainy weather. A kitchen with all the necessities is a must as a family because driving to and from restaurants for all meals is unrealistic. They provided coffee pods for our morning brew!. 😢: There aren’t many restaurants nearby. 15 plus minutes by car to get to restaurants. No delivery options. Thankfully outside temperatures were moderate; however, we were pretty warm in the master bedroom. I could see the need for AC during warm days..

😊: The cottage was simply stunningly decorated and very cozy. We loved the hot tub (which came with detailed instructions on how to use it effectively) and sauna. You could see the hosts gave huge attention to details - for example, there were a lot of coffee machine capsules, which we appreciated a lot as enthusiastic coffee drinkers. We loved the equipement, the decor, the location that was beautiful, full of peace and far away from the city noise. And we even got a small cookie box on arrival!.

😊: The property and surrounding countryside. Idyllic, quiet break away from hustle and bustle. All fixtures and fittings were good quality, beds were exceptional. Spa bath and sauna were wonderful.. 😢: Although the owners were very quick to answer our query, I think the stay would of benefited from more information on both hot tub and sauna, general usage/guidelines would of been helpful instead of using google. Wi fi code was a hurdle too.... simple when you knew how, but after guesswork a text was needed..

😊: The house was small but immaculate. Fantastic to have hot tub and sauna and loads of little extras like toiletries, a bottle of bubbly, coffee maker and pods. Beautiful decor and a lovely location.. 😢: It's worth knowing that you go through one bedroom to get to the other. That wasn't an issue for us but may affect privacy. We had hot sunny weather during our stay and the upstairs did get very hot during the day..
