Le Hamel - A Rustic Jewel!!

................"We were really able to relax and unwind and I haven’t slept that well in months.  The intense darkness and complete quiet meant we were all zonked out by 10pm every night and our son didn’t wake til 8am most mornings! We had a lovely time and really enjoyed your cottage – it was cottagey in the best sense in that we felt like we were in an old farmhouse but without compromising any comfort. " (Mrs B, Nov 08)

................"We had a wonderful holiday - thank you!  The house is in a beautiful setting and ideally located for so many attractions.  The house is very well equipped and comfortable.  The girls really enjoyed playing in the garden and because of its location we felt at ease allowing the girls to play and to enjoy their freedom.  Domjean is such a pretty village and we loved it!  We went to the swimming pool in Torigni and although it was busy because of school holidays, the manager of the pool couldn't have been more helpful.  The girls loved the pedalo on the lake and the mini golf in the park too.  We sampled the galettes at Les Roches De Ham (yum, yum!) and went on the Velorail which started at Conde-sur-Vire (tiring for Grandparents but great fun for everyone!!).  Although the chocolate factory in Moyon doesn't offer tours any more, the shop is interesting to visit and to buy presents for family and friends.  We  went to a beach near Granville which was safe and clean but as it was a very hot day we didn't stay for more than a couple of hours.  We would love to make a return visit  but probably on our own as there is so much to see and do which little ones are not that interested in"   Mrs H (Aug 08).

................"We had a fantastic time, Le Hamel is just wonderful, so well equipped, and a great garden, view. Peace & quiet and no street lights! Heaven, we will definately be re booking !"  Mr M (Aug 08)

................"We had a lovely time in France.  The weather wasn't fab but we weren't expecting much at that time of year.  It was great to have the open fire.  We found the whole house to be very cosy and thoroughly enjoyed it.  Thank you for providing such a lovely place to stay, we felt very relaxed. "  (Miss R.  March 2008)

................"We had a really great trip. House, garden & location all played a big part. To be honest we couldn't think of any suggestions to improve things. Thanks aqain." (Ed, Felicity, Dominic & Josephine  May 2008)

................"I just wanted to let you know how much George and I enjoyed staying at le Hamel. The house is oozing with French rustic charm and its position so very quiet. It was so exciting waking up on the first am not knowing what views or surrounds there would be – and it was so warm we could have had breakfast outside with the local church clock ringing in the background! We managed to shoe horn the boys away from the house on 2 days only! We all enjoyed the Memorial museum at Caen and driving round the actual sites, and Tim and I would have looked forward to many more walks in the Suisse Normande ( only approx 30-40mins drive away) and more locally".

..............."the house was lovely and we do very much like the area"

................"We have liked your cottage and the garden very much. It was clean when we arrived and as per the description on you web site. The view was lovely and we fed the many birds in your garden every day. We saw deer in the orchard further down the road and we truly had a lovely time. The weather did let us down a bit so we could not spend as much time in the garden as we would have liked, but there you go. We visited all the places we wanted to and had fantastic meals out. We particularly enjoyed the one in the Restaurant in Domjean, so thank you for the tip!"

................"" We all thoroughtly enjoyed our stay at Le Hamel which is quite an achievement with 10 & 12 year olds!  We were very lucky to have a week of beautiful weather so we made the most of the garden (especially the badminton set) and the sightseeing, but you certainly had every eventuality covered with DVDs, books etc.  I can't think of anything else that we would have wanted.  So thank and I hope that you have many more successful years of trading.  Thanks again." Mrs Hugo (August 2007).

.................."We had a lovely stay at Le Hamel - great location and lovely cosy place.  Everything we needed was at the house to make us feel welcome and at home.  Thank you for even including a baby bath as we forgot ours, so it was incredibly welcome.  Great for sigthseeing and sufficiently out of the way to be incredibly tranquil.  We liked the area so much that we're thinking of keeping our eyes open for a property there." Mrs C (Sept 2007)

.................."We had a lovely time at Le Hamel, thanks - what a super house, very comfortable and well equipped, with lovely garden and ofcourse that view.  We enjoyed the area and especially the river walks.  We loved watching the buzzard family, first seen from the garden, then closer from the quarry near Le Chapel sur Vire and the walk northwards."

..................We loved it and felt very lucky to be there.  Thank you for all your help in arranging it." (Miss C - Sept 07).
