Le Pressoir August 2014 Having spent ages looking for the right place for our family holiday we definitely found it in La Gasteboisiere (Le Pressoir). Our family of four including two boys aged seven and four were warmly greeted by our hosts Paul and Dee.The gite was comfortable and well equipped and had puzzles and books to keep the boys entertained. The welcoming brioche was a big hit with all the family with several more being consumed during the week!The gardens are extensive and superbly maintained and perfect for families of all ages with plenty to do including swimming, croquet and petanque. The small island at the bottom of the garden was a particular hit with our boys.The property also boasts a fantastic play barn with fantastic activities including darts, snooker, billiards, bouncy castle and ball pit. There is something for everyone in the play barn.Throughout our stay Paul and Dee were on hand to offer advice on trips out or just to have a friendly chat. We had a fantastic holiday here - it is truly five star and we hope to return one day.

The Cottage - Sep 2015 We (family of 3) spent a week at this lovely Normandy property in September. The house and garden was lovely and the hosts, Paul and Dee, were very welcoming and helpful. The setting is rural and therefore very peaceful - but there are plenty of options for day trips and sightseeing within 30-60 min. drive in all directions. Would definitely recommend and would like to return in the future if we have the chance to do so.

Sables d'Or Les Pins. My family & I returned earlier this month from our 5th visit to this very spacious & well equipped house.It is so beautifully located on the rise above the village & offers some lovely views across the sea to little Mont St Michel & some stunning sunsets.Thank you again, Paul & Dee for renting us the house that allows all the family such enjoyable seaside holidays.

Le Pressoir, Normandy Just back from a terrific holiday. The facilities are great, especially for a family with young children who loved running around the huge gardens, mucking about on the bouncy castles, swimming and, best of all, spending hours in the play barn (away from parents!). 45 minutes away from Le Mont St Michel and lots of nice beaches. Thoroughly recommended.Thanks for being such good hosts (and thanks a million for the baby-sitting and taxi service).

The Cottage Dear Paul and DeeThank you for a fantastic week spent staying in The Cottage, it was the perfect size for four adults and two children. We loved your beautiful garden, especially our two children who enjoyed the freedom of running around, playing in the sand pit, feeding the fish and soft play. The swimming pool, golf, pool table and table football were fantastic! We loved visiting Zoo de Champrepus, Mont Saint Michel, the beautiful beach at Saint Jean le Thomas, La Grande Cascade in Mortain and had a delicious lunch at A'bbaye.It was lovely to meet you both, you made us all feel so welcome. We look forward to coming back.Thank youAnna, Scott, Jack, Alice, Rosie & Martin

Our Holiday Paul and Dee were incredibly helpful, accommodating, and went above and beyond. Our children loved all the play equipment, feeding the ducks (and the rabbits and fish) and the pool was a great addition on sunny days. Our gite was comfy, clean and tidy, and it was great to find the cupboards stocked on arrival with tea, coffee and sugar, as well as bread, milk and jam! We all hope to be back very soon. Thank you for a lovely holiday.

The Cottage and Le Pressoir We have just returned from a week at Paul and Dee?s gites having had a wonderful relaxing time. Our family came with us so we had both properties. The weather was beautiful enabling us to take full advantage of the amazing grounds and facilities. The grandchildren loved the swimming pool, the guys loved the golf and the girls just generally relaxed! We didn?t really need to ask for anything but both Paul and Dee were generally on hand to answer any questions. We spent all our time outside but had we needed to use it the play barn would have been an excellent addition to the whole experience. I am sure the family will visit again.

Sables D'or Les Pins Had a fabulous 2 week holiday for the first 2 weeks in August. The house is much larger than it looks on the photos and has the added benefit of a laundry room which was handy! More than enough space for my husband and I, daughter and husband , son and wife and 3 granddaughters aged 7,5 and 4 plus a 6 month old baby. The high hair was a welcome addition. The kids were well entertained in the lovely large garden with its toys. Just a couple of minutes walk to the fabulous beach and the lovely unspoiled town. Plenty of places to eat and drink and a nice market on a Sunday. Thanks very much it was a great location!

Sables d'Or Stunning quiet location minutes from the beach and restaurants, clean and comfortable accommodation. What's not to love about this place!

Lucy Hough

Sables d'or les pins Superb house with lots of room for families. We particlularly loved the 6 reclining seats in the lounge! Very well positioned, just a 5 min walk into the village and to the stunning beach. Really lovely area. We visited at Easter when it was very quiet and would love to come back in the summer at some point. Thanks for providing us with a great holiday base.

Lovely holiday We have just returned from a week in Normandy, staying at the Pressoir. The gite was lovely - very cosy and well equipped. It is in a fantastic location with stunning views and conveniently situated for towns, beaches and attractions for children. The facilities for children were great -our son loved the play barn and the outdoor playground. Paul, Dee and family were so welcoming and friendly and our son, Ethan, really enjoyed playing with Rocky the kitten and is still missing him despite being back in the UK for several days! We would definitely recommend the gite to our friends and hope to visit again soon. Joe, Sarah and Ethan.

Everything that we needed was there. The south facing balcony was well used, the sun was good, but the wind not!We travelled with our son and his famly of four boys, and all had a good time.The situation is very good for visiting the beaches, which are quite amazing. A week wasn't long enough, we hope that we can return at some time.Thank you againHilary, David Denness and family

Great Holiday Thank you Dee, Paul and the kids for a great holiday at The Cottage. What a beautiful setting and such an amazing place for children. The babysitting was a real treat for us as was the 'taxi' ride to/from the restaurant a big bonus too! We will be back!

Libby&Joe

What a wonderful holiday we had in the cottage. Very helpful owners Paul & Dee, great accommodation, the playbarn for the kids and the huge garden, ... We had a very nice time, despite the weather. Paul and Dee did everything they could to compensate the bad weather (toys, movies, ...). The kids (6 and 3) loved it and thanks to Dee's babysitting we had the opportunity to have on off the best dinners ever in a restaurant nearby.

Le Pressoir and The Cottage Another fabulous week in Normandy at Paul and Dee?s lovely holiday gites. We wanted for nothing and hardly needed to move off site all week apart from trips to buy bread and pastries!! All the adults and both the grandchildren were very relaxed and we all agreed that we felt totally chilled the whole time.Thank you Paul and Dee - we?ll be back !!

Tricia Cotton

Fabulous stay We couldn't have asked for two more welcoming hosts who made a point of interacting with our kids, as much as us, which was lovely. Le Pressoir is ideal for a family of four and the grounds are perfect to keep everyone entertained when not out and about. We will be back for sure
