A lovely adventure
The people of Saint Fromond were gracious and welcoming. We asked for directions at the Tobac and had excellent guidance. Our hosts had our yurt well supplied with a comfortable bed, wood for the fireplace, and lights outside to guide us to the outdoor kitchen and private toilette. She brought us fresh croissants and coffee on our first morning. It was heavenly!

Erg leuk!
Een erg mooie en leuke tent om een paar dagen vakantie te vieren! We zijn vanuit hier naar de D-Day stranden geweest. Was ideaal! In de avond lekker vuurtje gestookt, kortom leuke afsluiting van een fijne vakantie!

Slapen in een yurt
Zalige ervaring! We werden heel goed ontvangen door de gastheer. Alles tip top in orde! Sanitair huisje was netjes en alles was aanwezig wat we nodig hadden.

Atypique
Très bon accueil. Disponible. A préciser que l'antenne wifi est près de la piscine pas dans la yourte. Petit dejeuner complet servi à l a yourte. Nous avons meme eu le plaisir d'assister au feu d'articifice du village sur la terrasse. Une adresse à retenir pour des vacances calmes. De jolies choses à voir ou à faire comme les balades en bateau sur un des canaux.

Fantastic getaway
The farmhouse is fantastic. We were 2 families with 5 kids total and the space was perfect. Lots of room, super clean and an amazing, peaceful country setting. Pool was great to cool off in and the goats and chickens were a blast for the kids and adults alike. Beds are clean and very comfortable, 4.5 bathrooms is definitely a plus. Kids had the 2 rooms in the attic and adults each a room on 1st floor, with a large, well equipped kitchen and a nice sitting room on the ground level. Hosts (Adrian and Marjolene) were super accommodating and Adrian is a wealth of knowledge on the area and an expert on everything WWII. This was the perfect home base to explore Normandy. Châteaux de la rivière down the road is worth seeing more than once with close to 200 storks covering the ruins. We all recommend staying here, will send our family and friends and hope to one day return ourselves. Merci!

A Great Place!
We enjoyed a wonderful time in Marjolein and Adrian's house. It is well suited for a big group (we were ten) and you have almost everything to feel as if you were in you own home. It´s great for kids, there are domestic animals, a lot of space to play outside and, of course, the new swimming pool. The journey on the D-Day beaches was amazing, Adrian is a great guide and a great communicator. He really knows his stuff. Thanks to him we learned a lot of little historical stories that otherwise are really difficult to find. An amazing week in Normandy!. Thanks for everything, Adrian and Marjolein!.

Gite au calme
Super séjour. Adrian et Marjolein sont des hôtes attentifs et disponibles. Le gite est bien situé entre Caen et Cherbourg , proche des sites et musés du débarquement. Petit regret de ne pas avoir pris Adrian comme guide, il a une bonne connaissance des événements du débarquement et n'est pas avare en conseils. Merci

Très très bien !!!!!
Gite au calme, spacieux et fonctionnel; grand jardin avec chèvres et poules (appréciables avec des enfants en bas âge); petite surprise piscine non prévue au départ. Hadrian et Marlojeine étant si accueillants que pour des anglais ont leur pardonnerait d'avoir brulé Jeanne 'Arc et d'avoir vaincu Napoléon :); nombreuses choses à faire au départ du gite : Mémorial de Caen, Plages du débarquement, Tapisserie de Bayeux (à faire absolument); la Cité de la Mer à Cherbourg, cimetière de Colldeville et cerise sur le gâteau le château en ruine au bout de la propriété abritant des cigognes ...... Salah, Sabine e ttoute la famille...

Ha sido una estancia impecable, y la zona inmejorable. Todos lo hemos pasado muy bien y nuestros perros han disfrutado de la zona de Normandía . Conocimos a Adrián , que fue muy hospitalario.
( It has been an impeccable stay, and the area unbeatable. We have all had a great time and our dogs have enjoyed the Normandy area. We met Adrián, who was very hospitable.) Jose Roman Lozaro from Spain.
You can choose to stay at the farm, there is also a lot to do and see or chill, or you can go out to visit al the interesting museau or other historical sites. We had a very beautiful stay at your farm! We finished now our tour of 8 years ago en had a marvellous stay! Maybe we return when the girls are older and really understand what happened many years ago. Thanks! Joke Deduytschaever from Belgium.
These were wonderful days in Normandy. The house is fantastic, fully equipped. Adrian and Madelaine are excellent hosts. They will always remain in our hearts. Rosana Mattioda from Brasil.
Adrian’s Home offered many features and great space. The home was clean and had great amenities like on suit bathrooms. Very convenient. We wish we’d had more time just to relax and enjoy his farm. Amy Taylor from the USA.
We had a great stay on this beautiful farm. The house was even nicer than the photos showed. It slept out group of 8 perfectly and we were surprised that it had 5 bathrooms! Our kids had a blast exploring the farm and playing with the animals. It was an excellent value for money and we had excellent hosts. We also enjoyed the D Day field guide by Adrian. The location was very convenient as a point for touring around all the D Day sites. Stacy K from Canada.
Logement très spacieux au calme et hôte est très accueillant et disponible
(Very spacious and quiet accommodation and host is very welcoming and available ) Sandrine Ferrand from France.
We were very happy with our stay in St Fromond. Adrian was a welcoming and helpful host. I missbooked our dates and Adrian amended it very promptly. He let us arrive early and even came out to say goodbye to us at 6:30am when we left. The house is even nicer than the pictures and great for a big family group like ours. The kids loved the outdoor space and the animals. We loved the quiet and comfort. It was easy to get to local towns and sights by car and there are some easy, pretty walks from the house or a short drive away. Adrian was always on hand to answer questions or help us and we were excited to buy one of his free range geese for our New Year's meal. His partner also gave us some delicious seasonal Dutch donuts and the fridge was stocked with the basics. We would all love to return. Hania Opienski from the UK.
Muy contentos con la elección de esta casa para pasar unos días en Normandía. Está cerca de muchas de las zonas importantes del desembarco de Normandía y permtite visitarlos sin tener que hacer muchos km. La casa está muy bien equipada para pasar unos días relajados en un entorno tranquilo y acogedor. El anfitrión es muy atento y responde / soluciona cualquier duda o problema que nos surgiera. Además el mismo anfitrión nos hizo una visita guiada por la zona de las playas del desembarco de Normandía que fue muy interesante y aprendimos mucho sobre ese momento tan importante de la historia moderna. Adrian (anfitrión) nos vino a buscar al pueblo cuándo llegamos por la noche y estábamos perdidos sin encontrar la casa y sin poder contactar con él, demostrando ser un anfitrión muy atento, y nos recomendó una panadería muy buena para poder ir a buscar pan y pastas para desayunar. Además tiene un terreno muy agradable con hamacas para descansar de la jornada y que permite hacer una barbacoa (con los consejos de Adrian para poder hacer un buen fuego). La casa es perfecta para grupos de amigos o para un grupo de parejas, ya que tiene cuatro habitaciones con baño propio (ducha) en tres de ellas y la cuarta habitación tiene un cuarto de baño solo con lavabo en la habitación, pero hay un baño completo en la zona común para que pudan usarla sin problemas. Las habitaciones son muy acogedoras y espaciosas. La zona del comedor es espaciosa y acogedora y permite cocinar con la compañía del grupo ya que cocina y comedor son el mismo espacio. Realmente no podemos decir nada más que un sitio genial y muy recomendable para pasar unos días en Normandía y con un anfitrión de cinco estrellas.

We had a lovely time staying at La Rougerie - the yurt is in a beautiful peaceful location and very comfortable - our first time staying in a yurt, and it won't be the last! Everyone was very welcoming (including the goats!) and made us feel at home straight away. We had a lovely dinner with the hosts, and their other guests, and the breakfast in the morning set us up well for the drive back to the UK. We had a great time and hope to return in the future!
