Set in the beautiful tranquil Normandy countryside, Close to local amenities and beautiful Normandy villages, The property has its own private wonderful swimming pool which we took full advantage of! An ideal launchpad exploring William the conquerors Normandy with all its wonderful churches villages and wonderful restaurants. We had a wonderful holiday cannot recommend it highly enough .

Just returned after a week staying in this fabulous cottage with my wife and 2 grandchildren. They loved the pool and the very private garden.Incredibly peaceful area of Normandy. 5 miles or so from St Pierre sur Dives and it’s very large traditional Monday market and restaurants. I would thoroughly recommend this property and hope to return soon

Holiday Gite was great. The accommodation was ideal and the kids loved the private pool. The accommodation and surrounding area was private, quite and picturesque. Lisa could not be a better host and was very helpful. The location was ideal for visiting other areas of Normandy. Would definitely recommend it to families/couples.

Un lieu charmant où règne un calme absolu. La maison est bien équipée et le jardin magnifique est très agréable. La piscine chauffée réservée aux hôtes est superbe et nous avons pu en profiter tous les jours malgré parfois le manque de soleil. Lisa est une hôte parfaite et prévenante. Merci pour ces belles vacances !

Lisa is a very nice, helpful host, who made every efforts to make our stay enjoyable. Swimming pool was heated and our son enjoyed it very much even though the weather was not very optimal. You have everything you could need in the cottage, even the spices for barbecue. It was a perfect week and we would definitely come back one day.

We had a perfect time at the cottage and enjoyed our stay in this beautiful part of Normandy. Our girls loved the heated pool and the big garden is perfect to relax, read a book or play. The cottage is very cosy, clean and well equipped. There are many interesting historic towns, villages and castles nearby to visit and to the Normandy coast it is a 30 min drive. Lisa was very helpful arranging to play tennis and horse-riding. It was a perfect holiday for relaxing and visiting interesting historical places.

Le gîte est très bien situé, au calme de la route et séparé des autres habitations. Notre logement avec piscine chauffée permet le repos total et un dépaysement complet. La propriété est splendide et aux notes de couleur du Calvados. Notre hôte est de plus charmante et attentionnée. Bref, +++

Great house with all the amenities one could wish, including a private pool. Set on a 16th century estate in one of the prettiest parts of the glorious Pays d'Auge, the house, like many other buildings in the area, is half timbered and very picturesque. The interior is thoughtfully arranged and equipped. There are many fascinating villages, gardens and chateaux within twenty minutes drive and the coastal towns of Honfleur, Deauville and Caen are all in within an hour's drive. To make matters even better, if that were possible, Philippe and Lisa (the owners) are a charming and delightful couple who went more than the extra mile to ensure our stay was as idyllic as it could be. I can't imagine not going back.....

I'll keep it short. Book it before someone else does. Les Ecluses is 100% perfect. You will not find a better holiday rental in Normandy. Lisa and Philippe were the most convivial hosts imagineable, always on hand yet never intrusive.

The cottage is a perfect base for a family or couple to relax, explore, or a combination of both. The cottage is lovely, very well equipped (even sharp knives!) with lots of welcoming touches. It’s set in the beautiful gardens of the owners house, but set away from the house down it’s own drive behind hornbeam hedges so perfectly private. The pool is in a walled garden behind the house, backing onto meadows and orchards. It’s an idyllic spot. We had hares hopping past the front door and a dawn chorus of cuckoo, turtle dove, curl bunting and melodious warbler. It’s also a great base for trips to Honfleur and other coastal towns, the amazing gardens at Étretat, Bayeux ( the tapestry is brilliant) and the landing beaches. Closer to home there are lovely towns and markets etc to explore. Lisa is a great host, discrete but always on hand to help, genuinely keen for you to make the most of your holiday. We had a perfect week. Thanks very much!
