Just outside the pretty coastal village of Gouville-sur-Mer, La Brocanterie is a beautifully restored and modernised stone-built house. Open & light, it is decorated in a clean rustic style combining antiques and brocante and decorative objects , to create a welcoming house, perfect to relax and unwind in, or to come back to, at the end of a day's sightseeing.
There is ample space for 2 families or a multi generational family party to enjoy their holiday without getting on top of one another.
The huge sitting room opens onto the courtyard and is ultra comfy, with 4 large sofas, armchairs, TV, DVD, hi-fi (a collection of vinyl...) and a log burner for chilly evenings.
The galleried dining room with it's massive dining table by the fireplace, is great place if you're having a really special dinner, unless, of course you prefer to eat outside between the olive trees.
The enormous kitchen (56m2),
overlooks the pool, is fully equipped for the most enthusiastic cooks, and provides yet more space to eat or relax. The kitchen-conservatory glass doors fold back for great inside-outside flow to the deck and 10m x 4.5m heated pool. The pool has a level floor at approx 1.40m, ideal for playing or swimming.
There is a games room with lots of toys & games for children of all ages, (adults too), as well as table football and an electronic keyboard.

Everyone who comes to this part of the world knows of the hugely significant history of the area.

The only problem is deciding how to fit it all in!

Summary: Just returned from an excellent weeks stay at this beautiful house, the property is great with everything you need for a fantastic holiday. The pool area through to open plan kitchen/dining area make for a great social setting where the kids can be playing the pool whilst you enjoy a drink on the terrace. The kitchen is super well equipped with everything you could ever need. Elsewhere the house is incredibly spacious, thoughtfully decorated, with plenty of entertainment for children, as well as quiet areas to just relax and read a book. The local area provides a great base for fabulous quiet (even in August) beaches, fascinating history, great food and local artisan markets. James was a great host, on hand to help if needed and provide local recommendations. We’d love to visit again!

Summary: The house is perfect for a family gathering. We were three generation and had a blast. Great pool area and the kitchen area is wonderful. We missed some lounge furnitures for the long nights outside and maybe some sharp chef knifes. Close to a charming village Gouville sur Mer with a supermarket, butcher and baker. James is a wonderful landlord, always smiling and happy to support you.

Summary: Fabulous
Clare J. Sep 17, 2020 11:32:31 PM
Summary: We were 2 families who stayed at James' house. The house is beautiful with plenty of space and a very well equipped kitchen. We stayed in and cooked most evenings and loved using the bbq too. The kids appreciated the heated pool and had a wonderful time, we couldn't get them out of it! James was very helpful before we arrived with advice and restaurant suggestions and we appreciated the champagne on ice for when we arrived as it was our friend's birthday that day. Thanks James for a fabulous stay.
