If you are golfer why not spend a day on the beautiful 18 hole course at Lake Dathee and enjoy a drink and bite to eat afterwards in the friendly clubhouse overlooking the lake. Please note that we don't generally accept more than 6 adults at a time due to the layout of the house. Owners are on site in an adjacent property to give you all the help and advice you need during your holiday.

Hidden Gem
This is my first time renting a temporary house and, based on my wonderful experience, it will not be my last. Our family group consisted of my two adult sons, two daughter-in-laws, two grandchildren (4 years old and 15 months old), my wife and I. The house easily accommodated our group (we did have another adult friend for the first two nights). The house is in a rural area of Normandy, with an awesome view of the surrounding countryside. We greatly enjoyed the outdoor grounds and the children were enthralled with the swings, trampoline, and toys provided by the hosts. The city of Vire is nearby and provided any provisions or other needs we required. The centralized location provided us easy access to our daily adventures (Saint Malo, Mont St-Michel, Bayeaux, D-Day invasion beaches, American cemetery). The hosts, Sheila and Tony, are a delight. They were never intrusive, but always available to answer our questions and provide insightful information. My one regret is that I did not have enough time to just spend an evening chatting with them. I am not prone to hyperbole; however, their place is an absolute bargain and a somewhat hidden gem. Be assured, as more people discover this place and the graciousness of the hosts, it will become more difficult to book, especially in July and August. I hope that our family can return some day!

Above expectations
It was more than expected. They have gone over and above to make sure they have covered all your needs for a comfortable stay. The only negative thing was there was no tv in the main lounge and that was only missed due to the bad weather when we were there. I believe that it was something to do with a poor signal in that room.

Sheila and Tony are such great hosts. They have given a great deal of careful thought to everything in the gite to make it a home-from-home stay. They are readily available with local knowledge and nothing is too much trouble. Everything you could want from a holiday.

Wonderful place and lovely people.
This farmhouse is beautifully set up for multi-generational family holidays. Sheila and Tony have thought of just about everything that is needed to make a stay relaxing and enjoyable. The area is lovely with lots to do and, even during a wet October, there is enough with the house and grounds to keep everyone entertained. The fires were lovely and made the house so cosy - fabulous for a long evening meal and board games!

Amazing holiday
We’ve just spent a fantastic week at the Hillcrest farm house. Sheila and Tony were perfect hosts and the property did not disappoint! With the weather being a little cooler, we made great use of the two fireplaces. The bedrooms were all generously sized with super comfortable beds and the kitchen/dining room is a lot bigger than the photos show. Our kids loved the playroom and the adults loved the massive living room. I can’t recommend this place highly enough. The location is superb, very centrally located to all the best places in the region. Perfect for kids and families. You won’t regret booking this place!! Can’t wait to come back again soon.

Lovely peaceful cottage in hilltop location, great views.
We holidayed with our two children and another family with three young children, and we all had a fanstastic week. Sheila and Tony were wonderful hosts - on arrival we were greeted at the gate and provided with a very generous hamper of food to get us started (and the cottage itself had pretty much all the supplies one would need). They were great with the kids and always made themselves available when we had questions about the area etc. The kids really enjoyed the pool when the sun was out, and when the weather wasn’t so good we found the local (Vire, 20mins) pool with floats, toddler pool, and water slides was great value and a fun afternoon for all. There is a playground next door too. We also visited the zoo at Champrepus, which was great - like a botanical garden and zoo in one. For the kids we had a day out at Festyland - great for younger kids (and some larger rides that would keep the older ones busy too I imagine). Close to Caen, about an hour away. The cottage provided a really peaceful retreat with wonderful views, and had very generous living space for the nine of us. We all had a wonderful week and would heartily recommend this property to others! Thanks again Sheila and Tony for a wonderful week in the heart of France.

Les hôtes sont d´une gentillesse extrême et vous réserveront un accueil des plus chaleureux. L´emplacement de cette maison est idéal car au calme dans la campagne, mais il est très appréciable de pouvoir bénéficier aux alentours de magnifiques balades et le Mont St Michel et à moins d´1h. Merci Tony et Sheila pour ce superbe séjour. Toute la famille Hillériteau.

Nous avons passé un séjour vraiment agréable dans cette maison particulièrement bien décorée confortable. Sheila et Tony nous ont vraiment bien accueilli et nous ont offert des gâteaux et une bouteille de crémant à notre arrivée! Cet endroit est parfait pour profiter de quelques jours au vert, avec des enfants qui peuvent notamment profiter du très grand jardin où se trouvent un trampoline et une structure de tobogan. Bref, nous reviendrons probablement!

Excellent stay, in a nice location and great hosts!
Sheila and Tony are such a nice and caring hosts that you will immediately feel at home! The location is amazing, in a very calm and relaxing environment, with a nice surrounding! The house is perfectly equipped and tastefully decorated. The firesides in the living room and the kitchen made our stay even more pleasant. The garden around the house is beautiful and made the kids happy with all the playground they enjoyed in addition to the bikes. This was a memorble long weekend where we enjoyed both the house and the neighboring monuments and villages (Mont saint Michel...). We definitely recommend! Thank you Sheila and Tony for your kindness and friendship spirit!

Un lieu et un accueil fantastiques
Le gîte Hill Crest de Tony et Sheila est vraiment une perle. Niché sur les hauteurs de Sourdeval, il est au calme et possède un grand jardin (avec trampoline et piscine) qui a fait le bonheur des enfants, mais toutes les commodités sont à maximum dix minutes en voiture. Notre groupe de deux familles (4 adultes, 3 enfants) y était confortablement logés, et nous avions de la place. Le plus important à signaler: les propriétaires étaient présents sur place, et aux petits soins pour nous: d'une bouteille de bienvenue, à un prêt de vélo, à un remplacement instantané d'une ampoule où à la mise en place de transats dans le jardin, nous n'avions jamais été accueillis aussi chaleureusement. Nous ne pouvons que recommander ce lieu de vacances ! Tony et Sheila, un grand merci de la part de notre groupe !
