Saint-Clair-sur-l'Elle · 整套乡村小屋 · 2室2床2.5卫 · 可住4人 · Harold's Place
Tasteful cosy barn conversion. Easy access to D Day beaches, Bayeaux, Mont st Michel and all Normandie tourist destinations. 2 double en-suite bedrooms plus loo & shower room. Fully equipped kitchen, cosy lounge/diner wood burner free Wifi, UK T.V. Own garden fire pit patio BBQ parking. Pets welcome. Harold's Place is named after an American Soldier, called Harold, who died here 10 days after D Day. We have named our gite in his honour. There is a plaque on the wall outside our cottage dedicated to his memory. We lovingly converted the barn - for that is what it was originally - to accommodate 4 guests. Tastefully decorated in a mix of traditional French and shabby-chic. We aimed to make it feel cosy, the type of place where we would like stay but with the modern convenience of T.V and Wifi.
We had a wonderful couple of days with our dog in Harold's Place. It’s a simple but fully equipped converted barn. Perfect location (about 30 minutes drive from D-day beaches, museums, etc.) Susan and John are friendly and helpful hosts and communication with them was smooth. we got a quick response to questions.
Everything was great and functional. All the beaches from WWII were near (Approx 30min by car) and the flat was perfect with a little garden and a barbecue. It's a quiet place and the hosts are really kind. Will come back if we will go to Normandy again.
Lovely gite created out of an old barn. Very rural location but near to a small town that has mostly everything you'll need. The very interesting history around the barn was a bonus. St. Lo is close for more demanding needs, with Bayeux being great if you like E. Leclerc (our favourite supermarche). Sue and John were very helpful with COVID testing and dog passport contacts. Any request we had was sorted as quck as... great hospitality.
Accueil très sympa chez Susan & John, le couple "très british" hôtes de cette mignonne petite maison dans la verdure. Cuisine très bien équipée, chaque chambre à l'étage a son propre sanitaire, lavabo WC, douche et wc aussi au rdc. Et si vous avez un peu de soleil et/ou une température acceptable, la terrasse dans le jardin est très agréable. Aucun bruit car éloignée de la route, en pleine campagne, à part peut-être le caquetage des poules et le concert des oiseaux le matin. Enfin, c'est supportable! Et tellement rare. Ambiance digne d'un cottage au fin fond du Kent! Un petit conseil pour les français: révisez un peu votre anglais avant de venir, ça ne pourra pas vous faire de mal, et facilitera la communication.
D Day and the invasion of France into Normandie was the beginning of the end of the second world was in Europe.
The monuments, beaches, cemetaries and museums are countless. Every aspect of the honour to the men and women of all sides who were prepared to make the ultimate sacrifice is treated with great respect.
Our own little corner of Les Foulons had its battle and is represented in a photograph, which is in the Gite, of some German soldiers who had captured a U.S. truck. The picture was taken in our yard. A couple of days later some of the soldiers of 115th Regiment, 59th Division regrouped, fought back and retrieved their truck, and Les Foulons.
We live here today in peace. English people in a free Europe. We will never forget or underestimated the suffering of those who made it possible.
You will need a car to stay here. There is no public transport.
The nearest airport is Caen or Dinard. Charles de Gaulle ( Paris) is a 4 hours away.
自我介绍
John and I moved to Normandie in 2008. We spent the next 4 years renovating our cottage. After a short break we decided to renovat the barn on our land. The result of which is Harold's Place. We love the countryside around here. The air is so clear and its so peaceful. We are very creative and enjoy music, the arts, listening to plays. Driving around France and finding little out of the way places. Going to the Vide Greniers on Sunday morning to seek out a quirky bargain. Dining with friends and enjoying the food and wines of our adopted country
