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.

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.

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.

Dors Family

The Cottage Thanks for a wonderful week sharing your beautiful home. The kids loved splashing about in the pool, paddling through the stream, racing down the slopes on whatever plastic vehicle they could find and having a go on the ride on mower. The play barn was the icing on the cake. You are fantastic hosts and I highly recommend your cottage for anyone wanting to holiday in France with their children of whatever ages! Hope to see you again soon.

Sables d'or les Pins Having just spent a week in your lovely house, we want to thank you Paul for all your help.We thoroughly recommend the house. It is very spacious and extremely well equipped. 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

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.

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).

Nigel, Victoria & family

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!

Lots for 2 year grandson to do.Good swimming pool and excellent games room. Our host Paul and Dee were very helpful during our stay. Would recommend this lovely place

David Belcher

Great holiday Thank you for a great holiday. The Pressoir suited our needs and the facilities were amazing. Great to have the games barn for evening entertainment (and on the one rainy morning) and the pool when it was sunny. We also loved the golf which provided some interesting challenges! Good location for visiting the area too. We would certainly recommend to friends as ideal for children of all ages.

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.

The Cottage & Le Pressoir We've just got home from a wonderful family holiday at The Cottage and Le Pressoir. Thank you Paul and Dee for letting us stay at your beautiful gites. The set up was perfect for 6 adults and 2 children with clean, comfortable and well-equipped accommodation. Everything was perfect. Its a shame that the weather didn't allow us to make full use of the pool and garden (stunning setting) but we certainly had an amazing time in the Play Barn. It was an absolute gem of a find. Dee and Paul thank you again for your generous hospitality including welcome pack (very thoughtful) and letting us share your beautiful corner of Normandy. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a relaxing break in a gorgeous setting. With love from the Stone & Stout Family.

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.

Le Pressoir 19-26 Aug 2017 Dear Paul & Dee,We would like to thank you both for a fantastic week's sunny family holiday spent at Le Pressoir. The gite, swimming pool, play/sports barn and surrounding area made for a lovely rural and peaceful relaxing holiday in the Normandy countryside. We made great use of the pool and sports barn. Le Pressoir was full of character and very well equipped. Although a rural location there was plenty to see and do in the area, with a small sized town only a short drive away. Would highly recommend day trips out to Omaha Beach and Mont St Michel.A perfect holiday location in a wonderful part of France. Would love to return one day.Thanks again!Lee & Jo Robinson

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!

Perfect Location Perfect Location - We were returning guests and once again we were not disappointed. The accomodation in Sables d'Or Les Pins is very versatile for a large group. It is well equipped with everything we needed. It's clean, comfortable and nicely decorated with the added bonus of a games room. The location is stunning with magnificent views, ideal for days on the beach which is a short walk away as are the facilities such as the restaurants and the bakery. The owners are very friendly and helpful. We hope to return again next year.

Damian Arbon

Rental Just a short note to say thanks for the rental of your unit last week in Sables D'or, the children really enjoyed the opportunity to be able to go the beach whenever they wanted and if not on the beach they had more than enough to do in and around the house to keep them busy and happy.The facilities provided gave both adults and children the ability to relax and enjoy a short break away from the hustle and bustle of life in the UK.Thanks once again
