We love welcoming families back to La Garenterie year after year. Here are just a few of the lovely comments our guests have shared.

We came across this cottage by chance on the website and were immediately sold. The lovely photos already suggested that the owners had created something special.
You would want to visit simply because the owners are among the friendliest people in France 🧡 They are incredibly helpful and nothing is too much trouble!

We had a wonderful holiday in this gîte. We received a very warm welcome and had plenty of privacy alongside Natalie and Dan. The gîte is truly equipped with everything you could need. In fact, you only really need to bring clothes and toiletries.
It is in a rural setting and has a lovely swimming pool. There is plenty to do in the surrounding area, including for children. We do not really want to reveal everything, as we are afraid beautiful Normandy will become far too busy ;).
Highly recommended — but don’t tell everyone!

When we arrived, we were welcomed by a super friendly couple.
The house is charming, and absolutely everything you need is provided.
There's plenty of privacy, a beautiful view, and a lovely pool.
