4 Bedroom Cottage in Sainteny, Terre-Et-Marais

Normandy, a little piece of heaven for those who look forward to escaping from the hustle and bustle of busy town life to spend their holidays in the delightful ambience of rural France,. Long golden beaches, wonderful uncrowded countryside, and pretty historic market towns full of traditional patisseries and cafes.
Oak Cottage is one of three stone-built cottages in traditional Normandy style. It has two double and two twin-bed rooms, a family bathroom with bath, washbasin and wc, and a shower room with a multi-jet shower, washbasin and WC ( adjacent to the ground floor bedroom, making it particularly suitable for elderly guests/grandparents). The cottage has a spacious lounge with comfortable sofa and easy chairs, satellite tv to receive English freeview channels, French TV, channels, a DVD/CD player, and a fully equipped kitchen with oven/vitro ceramic hob, washing machine and dishwasher, microwave and fridge/freezer, and a dining room with seating for up to eight people. Internet access is provided, as of course is all bed linen and towels, though we do ask our guests to provide their own beach towels. No smoking in the accommodation please, and sorry, but no pets.
In each gite there is also a hairdryer, iron and ironing board and clothes airer. There is also a good selection of books and DVD's and a large selection of literature regarding places of interest and leisure facilities in the area, and there are also a selection of board games and children’s toys .
To complement the exceedingly high standard of internal accommodation, the cottage has its own patio area complete with bbq, dining table and chairs for eight people, two sun beds, and a large sun awning, and which opens out into an extensive fully enclosed garden. For our younger guests this features swings, a slide, climbing rope ladder and trampoline, and the delights of Aladdin's Cave, and for all generations we have an outdoor table tennis table, boules, badminton etc. The property is approached by a separate driveway, has ample enclosed parking, and is just as ideal for families with young children as it is for couples who want a little more space to enjoy this delightful area of Normandy.
For your security a surveillance camera is in place which covers the gite driveway.

Summary: A very comfortable base from which to explore the region. Host were most welcoming and we appreciated all of the extras that made this the perfect place to bring children, the toy shed and trampoline we’re especially enjoyed by our four!

Summary: This is a wonderful property. It is beautifully furbished, and extremely comfortable. It has been thoughtfully equipped and the wonderful welcome basket, filled with local produce, is a lovely touch. It is well located for the D Day landing beaches and in an attractive countryside location. The nearest family friendly beach is a short fifteen minute drive away. There are various supermarkets, restaurants and local markets within a short drive of the property. The cottage is lovingly cared for by the very friendly owners who are on hand to offer advice and recommendations . The cottage is perfect for families with young children, as the owners have thoughtfully provided a range of very high quality toys and equipment. There is a large outdoor space which young children will love. Having said that, our teenagers felt equally at home thanks to the table tennis and outdoor games. The fast, reliable internet connection was an added bonus.The property is perfect in every way and this is, without any doubt the nicest cottage we have ever stayed in. We could not recommend the property or the owners more highly.

Summary: Four of us spent Christmas 2014 in Oak Cottage. What a wonderful experience made even more memorable by the reception we received from Terry and Liliane. The Gite was warm and very comfortable and had every modern convenience you could wish for. You could even watch English language TV (if you can't do without it, even on holiday!). Sainteny is a charming village, with very friendly locals. Our booking was one of the first that Terry and Liliane had since they bought the property a few months previously. This was their first venture into the "Leisure Industry" and, by reading the reviews from others who have followed us, they have taken their new roles like ducks to water. We have already returned again before this visit and are looking forward to our next opportunity to return to No.3 Rue des Chatelets to renew our acquaintanceship with the Nathans and explore more of the countryside. There is plenty to do and see in the area, especially if you are interested in the D Day landings and WW2 memorabilia. If that is not your bag, a visit to one of the nearby towns is very worthwhile (the ladies will particularly enjoy the shops in Bayeux). If you are driving there with the aid of a Satnav, you will be amused but the canned lady's attempt to pronounce the French place names. In spite of that, it is very easy to find. We thoroughly recommend putting Les Gites Champetres on your list of places to stay in France

Summary: It had long been our ambition to make our own ‘pilgrimage’ to the Normandy D-Day Beaches, and a combination of retirement and a chance meeting with fellow veterans in a restaurant in our home town of Seattle in Washington State gave us the enthusiasm and information to make the trip possible. We are ardent enthusiasts of Trip Advisor, and a search of their listings for Normandy presented us with many possible places to stay, but it quickly became clear that one cottage (or gite as they are known in France) stood out head and shoulders above the rest. Les Gites Champetres comprises three cottages, appropriately names Oak, Chestnut and Walnut. Oak Cottage was our chosen home from home; the booking process was simple and efficient, the welcoming from hosts Terry and Liliane was warm and friendly, and the cottage itself was immaculately clean, comfortably furnished, equipped with all the modern appliances we needed for our seven day stay, and the patio with its garden furniture and bbq gave us great service. The cottages are located in the little village of Sainteny, the scene of fierce fighting between American soldiers of the 83rd Infantry, and Germans of the 4th and 6th Parachute Regiments and the SS, which cost the lives of 1,400 GIs just on the first day of the assault in July 1944. We were privileged to be invited to visit the town hall (mairie) where flags of all the American states which had contributed soldiers to the defence of the village had originated, and where evidence of the close bonds of friendship which still exist between the residents of the village and the 83rd are there to be seen. Modern day Sainteny boasts an out-of-this-world boulangerie, a value for money Routier restaurant, and a butchery and general store meeting our every day needs, all within a ten minute walk of our holiday cottage, while the towns of Carentan and Periers, each a fifteen minute drive away, meet even the most ardent shoppers needs, as well as intriguing street markets. Terry and Liliane turned out to be the perfect hosts; warmly welcoming, always available for even the most trivial requests, and full of useful suggestions and recommendations whether that was for places to visit or local restaurants. We honestly felt we arrived as guests and left as friends. John and Judy Maguire, Bellevue, Washington State October 2015.
