| La DeHayrie provides a peaceful and rural retreat after exploring Normandy's treasures, many within 1- 2 hours drive. Heather and Douglas are very helpful with their suggestions and sharing their lovely garden. |

| My husband, Bill O'Neill, and I stayed at La Dehayrie this past May and had a wonderful time. We loved the "cow shed" and were very comfortable there. We were fortunate that our hosts arrived before we left for Canada and found them very accommodating and they made us feel very welcome. We would go back and would recommend La Dehayrie to friends. |

| We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at La Dehayrie. Our trip was out of season in October so the area was very peaceful & relaxing. The accommodation was very comfortable & had everything we needed. |

We both had a wonderful 5 days staying at La Dehayrie, which was a perfect base for exploring most of Normandy. The peace and quiet experience was unrivalled and we would stay here if we were ever to visit the area again!
Many thanks should go to Douglas and Heather for inviting us into their home and making us feel at ease with their valuable advice about the local area! |

| We really enjoyed the gite. It was our first time in Normandy and we couldn't have found a more charming location and accomodations. I'm only sorry we missed meeting Douglas and Heather as they were in the western hemisphere while we were in the eastern. Maybe next time. If we ever get back to that part of the world we would love to stay once again in La Dehayrie! |

We cannot say enough good things about La Dehayrie! It was peaceful, comfortable and very welcoming. The location is great for taking daytrips all around Normandy and being within an hour or two of most everything we wanted to see. Many great restaurants to be found in the area as well! We loved coming back to the most comfortable bed on our entire vacation and having absolutely no noise to disturb our sleep!! So perfect for 2 people. Our hosts, Douglas & Heather were there to greet us and it was wonderful to have the use of a washer & dryer whenever we needed. Thank you so much for a wonderful and memorable stay for our first time in Normandy!

Douglas and Heather have set up an ideal holiday residence for those that appreciate a complete change. The Gite is ideally located away from the crowds but within less than an hour from many different interesting locations. The gite is uncomplicated and comfortable with all the facilities required. Douglas and Heather are rightly proud of their home and gite obviously putting many hours and thought into making of an ideal holiday home.
We have no reservations on recommending this as an ideal holiday giving you all the choices.

Are you looking for an exciting getaway with expensive restaurants, upscale shops and theatre openings? If so, keep looking.
If, however, you have in mind, walking quiet country lanes, shopping at local markets, stopping at a Salon de The midafternoon for a cup of tea and a pastry or having fish and chips on a Friday night in nearby Gavray, you'll find La Dayhrie offers it all...and so much more!
Married for 47 years, our month at this well appointed gite was like a fifth or sixth honeymoon. Just the two of us re-discovering why we'd committed ourselves to one another that day in June of 1960.

| A very pleasant and peaceful cottage situated in lovely countryside with very friendly and welcoming hosts. It is very convinient for almost anywhere in Normandy and the beaches on the west coast are well worth a visit. All in all a very nice place. |

| The cottage is really beautiful, exactly the sort of thing we were looking for. Douglas and Heather are very generous with their time and care and with their house only a few steps away from the gite they are usually on hand to offer advice and help. |

Douglas really went the extra mile with helpful notes in advance so we guessed the gite would be well appointed and we were not disappointed. A real showcase for peace and natural surroundings. Amazing wild strawberries on the doorstep. Handy shopping in Gavray - not far away. To wake to the sounds of the birds and the church bells !
Have already recommended it to friends who need the great escape. |

| Our two week vacation at La Dehayrie was a wonderful experience. This quiet haven was so peaceful and well appointed that we just didn't want to leave. The rural setting was enhanced by the kind hospitality of the owners and their agent. The location was ideal for us because most of the major historical and cultural attractions were in close proximity. Also, the beaches nearby were sandy and ideal for families. If we ever visit France in the future we would seek to stay at La Dehayrie again. |

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this delightful gite. It was very clean, well equipped, great shower with a comfortable bed and the location was very peaceful. Heather and Douglas made us feel very welcome giving us lots of helpful suggestions on places to visit and even letting me raid their herb garden – thank-you.
The whole area was very pretty; a real pleasure to drive in and there’s so much to see!
Great little hamlets and villages surrounded by beautiful countryside.
The beach is 20mins away and hardly anybody else on it.
D Day beaches and the War Cemetery made a real impression on us.
Mont St Micheal an amazing place.
But most of all the great food, Granville- a fish lover’s paradise. Local Restaurants – which we had some superb meals, great markets with fresh local produce
A thoroughly enjoyable holiday, which we have no hesitation in recommending to others.

| Most relaxing spot, extremely peaceful, rural but not too far away from interesting towns and beaches. An ideal spot for holiday cycling. Gite had eveything you would need with a particularly delightful bedroom and very comfy bed. |

We had a wonderful time at La Dehayrie.The gite is perfect for a couple,Douglas and Heather have thought of everything.
The location too is spot on .Quiet and peaceful at the Gite but close to the coast and to other villages and towns.
What else can I say - We liked it so much we bought a house nearby and are now looking forward to spending much longer periods in this fabulous part of the world. |

| We had a really wonderful holiday at La Dehayrie. The gite is in a very quiet, rural location which is extemely peaceful and relaxing. We became quite indignant when we heard a car pass the gite - very rare! Normandy is lush and green with pretty countryside. Lots to see and do and the nearyby town of Coutances is lovely to do your shopping in. The gite is simply furnished, with nice paintings, a small modern kitchen, BBQ, very comfortable bed and great shower. Super getaway for a couple. |
