Our stay in the Orchid Cottage was absolutely marvellous! The hosts Tom and Jodie are very friendly and hospitable. The environment is incredibly beautiful and calming. Our little daughter enjoyed greeting the neighbour's cows through the kitchen...

Excellent reception with bread, cheese, wine, milk which was a lively surprise. A lovely cosy Gite. A very friendly couple who couldn't be more helpful. We highly recommend.

Gîte très bien équipé et très calme. Les propriétaires sont très gentils et très accueillant. A notre arrivée, il y avait du pain, confiture, café et même une bouteille de vin. Je recommande vivement 😉

Schöne ruhige Lage zwischen einem verlassenen Schloss und Viehweiden. Die Gastgeber sind total freundlich. Große geräumige Küche. Angenehmes Ambiente.

Accueil chaleureux et généreux des propriétaires. Gite situé dans le bocage normand où il est agréable de profiter du jardin après une journée de visite dans le Cotentin.

Nous avons particulièrement apprécié la gentillesse et la générosité de nos hôtes. A notre arrivée, ils avaient prévu plein de petits cadeaux à notre attention en prenant soin de choisir des produits de la région et très pratiques quand on arrive...

We can accommodate larger groups (of up to 15 people altogether) by arrangement.

It can accommodate up to three guests. There is a double bedroom a and a single bedroom. The single has no window meaning that holiday lie ins are possible! Cots can be provided for an additional fee. Orchid cottage is also pet friendly for an additional charge. The cottage has a number of electric heaters available to ensure that occupancy all year round is comfortable and enjoyable. Orchid also has a self-contained kitchen and dining area as well as a seperate lounge and a bathroom.

Tom and Jodie started visiting France in 2004 as part of the Mazda MX5 Owners club. They fell in love with the country and spent many years visiting different parts of France. They found that their favourite type of summer holiday was to take the ferry from the UK and head to a self-catering Gite in rural France. This gave rise to the dream of running and owning a Gite complex of their own. In 2019 that dream came true and they simply love the peace and tranquillity of their new lifestyle. As a passionate golfer, Tom intends to work his way around the many golf courses that Normandy has to offer! They are pet loving and will always welcome guests and their four-legged friends by prior arrangement. We have a dog, Flo, who loves to greet guests; two cats, five hens and a cockerel. Having taken holidays in France as a couple, with a small group of friends and as part of bigger groups, Tom and Jodie know how important it is for guests to have a lovely home from home, and are guaranteed to offer a warm welcome.
