8.6/10

After five years of input of love, sweat and tears, a dilapidated stall took shape again as a cozy nature house where there is a mix of old Normandy with a modern nod. The cottage is conceived as a mini loft, all in one open space. Upon entering, there is a small bathroom to the left with lavabo, toilet and walk-in shower. Then there is the open kitchen with dishwasher, stove, oven with to the left a small storage room with fridge and freezer. From there you can take the stairs to the mezzanine where there is a spacious bedroom with double bed. It is the perfect cocoon for a couple to unwind. If there are four of you, there is the wooden annex. This space is also worthy of a bedroom and contains a second double bed, and can therefore also be used as a second bedroom (note that this is not comparable with the suite on the mezzanine). There is a nice garden with fruit trees and beautiful views over la douce Normandy. Furthermore, Les faux is a small hamlet with five houses where one French couple lives permanently.

    The interior of the house is an aesthetic delight in terms of carpentry and joinery, very tastefully furnished and without unnecessary frills. As described by other guests, it is also great to lie around, read and sit comfortably. The bed/mattress is good! Reading light can be set up. For full points we would wish: No tipping kitchen benches, a teapot, some nicer dishes, a hair dryer; the sporadically blooming mallows made it clear that there are no other perennials, flowers, which of course also make a lot of work. The fact that the rainwater smells and can only be used for washing, neither for cooking nor drinking, has not affected our enjoyment and fortunately we have taken the entries of previous guests in time. The handover by Penny, who was hired by the owner for this purpose, was very friendly, reliable and relaxed.

    Nature, peace & environment: 4 /5

    As it was relatively cold and windy during our stay, we were unfortunately unable to sit outside: there was a beautiful orchard and at one point a lovely view of the countryside. The house is less secluded than it seems; the relatively busy D 909 is less than half a kilometer away as the crow flies. We usually drove 10' to 40' by car to reach starting points for hikes of varying degrees of appeal. The Park Naturel has a very well-maintained information center nearby (Chateau de Carrouges). However, the surrounding area is characterized by agriculture and is not an extensive nature reserve.

    Some backlogs regarding lamp replacement and eg the dishwasher, which was very unstable.

    The water is undrinkable, also so stated, but it stank terribly . Not ideal for washing dishes and taking a shower.

    Very nice house, a spacious garden with large fruit trees. Located among the fields. Quiet. Ideal for 2 people, 2 the bedroom very basic.
