Maison in the Cotentin with exotic garden, very close from the sea.

The house was really easy to find and is in a great location, within easy distance of three Boulangeries and supermarkets and also a short walk to the harbour. Being winter, we didn't make much use of the garden (which Im sure is lovely in summer) and the conservatory was cold so we didn't use it. The house was warm which was great, and the fire works but we did have to buy our own wood. The toilet upstairs is very small and various members found they could not use it at all as they did not fit in the space (tall members of the family)!The living room could be improved by providing some comfortable seating. The cutlery was old and well used. The main issue we had was the faulty shower. We received a note upon arrival that the overhead shower had broken and that parts were needed to repair it. The owners said they would come to fix it during the week but this did not happen. We used the shower attachment however this squirted a jet of water straight at you and was difficult to manage. We were told after booking that we had to pay for sheets (45 Euros) and could opt to pay a cleaning fee of 50 Euros. This information was not available prior to booking. It would have improved transparency to know this in advance as it may have affected my decision to book the property. I was under the impression that bedding was included and it was only after booking that charges were applied. Despite the lovely location, I would not book this property again.

We enjoyed the stay a lot

The property is well located in St Vaast La Hougue. Older property that is well loved. Gorgeous backyard and garden that is inviting to stay and relax. Walk into town to a fantastic bakery, restaurants and shops. We really enjoyed out stay there. Jaques and Marie are wonderfully responsive hosts.

Lovely homely house. Would recommend to friends

Even though the house is on the main road into St Vaast, the double glazing is very effective and we were not disturbed. Parking just outside the front door was easy and free. It was also free in the centre of the town too. It would be helpful to have an "emergency" list, doctors/dentist/ phone numbers. Also emergency services, as in Britain we have one number for all services but in France each service has a different number I think. M. et Mme Letertre were very welcoming, and we hope to visit again. Merci, a la prochaine. Carol Bilney
