Modernised Stone Cottage in Beautiful Suisse Normande

This is a rural location in a small hamlet, ideal for those who want peace and beauty yet with easy access to activities and sightseeing. Just below the house there are walking and cycle trails. The whole property also contains the owner's house, several outbuildings, a garden and two fields where Shetland ponies are grazed. It is all securely enclosed so safe for dogs or children. The cottage itself is traditional, but has all modernised features including electric radiators for controlled heat in every room. Access to the first floor is by a spiral stair so may not be suitable for very elderly or infirm guests. The cottage is rustic in style with beams but the ceilings are high enough for everyone.
There are three bedrooms that sleep 8 people, and the facilities have been renovated
to provide one full bathroom with bath/shower, washbasin and toilet, one separate WC with hand basin and an ensuite shower to the main bedroom. So even if you are in a large family or grup of 8, you should never have to wait for the bathroom!
Downstairs the open plan living room/kitchen includes 2 sofas, dining table and chairs and a fully fitted and equipped kitchen with gas hob and double electric oven.
The glass doors lead out to a gravelled south facing terrace where guests can dine under a pergola or relax on a sunlounger as you admire the flowers or watch the ponies grazing. A kettle style bbq is provided.q
There is a swing set for younger guests, boules for everyone and a table tennis that can be erected in five minutes. A toddlers' paddling pool is available on request.

Perfect stay in outstandingly beautiful surroundings
Adorable and well equipped adjacent cottage in prolific garden, kept by a very kind and helpful landlady. The area offers lovely restaurants, and yet you should use the opportunity to cook in to try this wonderful kitchen. Le Bo and Clecy offer fantastic sceneries, as does Normandy.

A Beautiful Haven
We have just spend a lovely week in this traditional Gite set in the heart of the Suisse Normandy countryside. The host, Jenny, was so attentive and made sure we had everything we needed. The property was well equipped and the garden a welcome escape from the hot weather. There are some lovely towns and activities a short drive away especially in and around Clécy but also some beautiful walks straight from the cottage.

Lovely welcome in Suisse Normande
Jenny was a warm and welcoming host from the moment we booked the property, which was in a great location, complete with ponies, dogs, and peace and quiet! There is so much to do in Suisse Normande, you could spend weeks here and not do it all. We had plenty of room in the house, lovely outside space and everything you needed in the kitchen. Highly recommended!

Beautiful location..lovely gite
Enjoyed our stay here. Jenny is an interesting person and we were amazed at her stories. She has a menagerie of animals..3 shetlands, 1 nanny goat, 1 horse, Honey the dog, Belle the cat and another 8 cats who lived inside Jenny's house. All or most were rescue animals. Our gite was lovely and suited us well. The location was perfect for day visits to Caen, Falaise, Clecy and Beuvron en Ange (well worth a visit)

Absolute Perfection
There is so much to love with this place. 1. Wonderful walking and running trails nearby. 2. Built in entertainment for children watching the ponies get fed. 3. Magical cottage feel. Most importantly Jenny is a wonderful host. She is a kindred spirit who made sound recommendations, helped us navigate transportation and helped us shop for groceries. Anything that came up, she was there to solve. The best.

A beautiful stone cottage, well equipped, comfortable, rural, but easy to get to many historic sites
When you first arrive thru the gates Le Chenai enfolds you in charm and timelessness. Lovely gardens and Bonaparte the handsome feline greeter. Jenny Ranson, our hostess was warm in her welcome and thorough in showing all the amenities of the cottage. We had also asked her some questions about things of special interest to us and she had researched and printed the information for us. We went to the events she found and had a great time. Every day staying at Le Chenai was a joy, the environs are spectacular and it was easy to sightsee in many directions as you made your way out each day. Then you came home to charm and peace and the musical chorus of birds. Lovely well equipped kitchen to cook in, comfortable sofas and beds, what more could one ask for? Jenny had most thoughtfully left us a welcoming bottle of wine which we shared sitting at a table in the garden surrounded by flowers.....perfection. I have always enjoyed renting a gite but I loved renting Le Chenai and would recommend it most highly, cannot wait to return.

Family holiday in Suisse Normandie
The area is beautiful. An unspoilt part of France that has much to offer. Jenny our host lives next door to this traditional gite. She met us on arrival and was hugely welcoming. Throughout our stay she advised things to do and places to eat. We kayaked, hiked, climbed and went on the luge. The gite has all things you might need to stay. We often cooked at home. WiFi was a little slow in some parts of the house but you just have to choose where to sit. 4g was very strong despite it being very rural.l so it didn’t really matter anyway if you have plenty of data. To get bread milk etc is about 10 min drive. Not far but just country roads so you don’t go anywhere fast but you are on holiday so it didn’t matter. The gite is very rural but you can walk down to Clecy in about 45 mins (it’s down hill) although a bit rugged in places so need to be fairly sure footed. And back up is in part very up hill but worth it for the incredible views at the top of the cliff. The gite was a good base for us and was plenty big enough for the 4 of us.

An ideal family gite for lovers of animals and the countryside.
We spent ten very happy days here, part of the time with family staying too, and found the cottage quite roomy enough for us six. Having read and re-read the reviews I find it hard to add anything to Robert's helpful one below, but I will try! Jenny welcomed us warmly, and it was a pleasure and privilege getting to know her and her extensive animal family, especially Honey the dog, Ellie the cat and the ponies. Our young grandsons loved the animals, and Jenny clearly loves sharing her home. She gave the boys an excellent first experience of riding, making sure they were safe and encouraging their confidence. Thank you, Jenny. As for the gite itself, we found it well-equipped, with comfy sofas, and everything as in the photographs. There was plenty of hot water and the beds were comfortable. It was most useful having two W.Cs! Although the gite was a relaxed and functional family space there were also some lovely decorative touches, not least the gorgeous dresser with its attractive pots and jugs. Parking was the easiest we have ever encountered - a large level area of gravel adjoining the cottage. There was a big collection of local brochures and information, the Wi-Fi worked well, and of course Jenny herself knows everything about the area and advised us on restaurants/days out. We enjoyed discovering the Suisse Normande, especially the river at Clecy/Le Vey; the children enjoyed the water activities there and the luge au rail was great fun for all. We had time to visit Falaise castle and also Bayeux and the Normandy beaches - all ideal for day trips. For couples who enjoy French food we thoroughly recommend the Pomme d'Ouilly, just a few miles away, and best to book as it's quite small. Clecy is nearby (five - ten minutes by car) and has an excellent bakers, (pain au raisins the size of tea plates), a handy small supermarket, post office with ATM, and a pharmacy. Jenny's directions to the gite were immaculate, and we shall not forget the peace and quiet that surrounds you as the lanes gradually shrink and the views appear. Nights are totally silent, apart from occasional owls, and the local walks are a huge pleasure. To be in the heart of such country yet only an hour from the ferry was superb.
