3 Beautiful Waterside Holiday Gites Near Campeaux in Calvados, Normandy, France Reviews

1 of 1 people found the following review helpful

This was our 4th visit to Moulin L'Eveque and managed to stay in a different gite each time! We have completed the "set". Each cottage is clean and well maintained with its own individual charm. We were warmly welcomed again by Johnny and Lynn, who have now become firm friends. We look forward to returning again next year! Apart from the obvious charm of its riverside setting, this is a wonderful location for exploring many of the interesting places to visit in Normandy. On this occasion, we made easy day-trips to Honfleur (delightful for artists and foodies), Bayeux and Coutances - don't miss the eccentric beachside restaurant Le Cale serving delicious moules mariniere. There is an interesting cave au vin in Beny Bocage that we also visited. Many thanks Johnny and Lynn and look forward to seeing you again next year! Stuart and Renate Webster from Wicklow, Ireland.

We spent 6 nights at this most delightful property and as we had been travelling

for 5 weeks throughout France we were in need of a peaceful place to stay. Moulin Leveque provided such a place. A truly beautiful setting with the river running alongside the property.We stayed in the small cottage and found it to be

Very comfortable with all necessary equipment to make a successful self contained stay. Our hosts, Johnny and Lynn were extremely helpful with local knowledge and suggestions, whilst remaining unobstrusive.

We look forward to returning to this wonderful place.

We had such a lovely stay here in the little gite that sits alongside the river. From every window there is a stunning view of the river and if you are lucky like me, you will see the kingfisher! The wagtails were great fun to watch and film too. This is a great location because it's an easy drive to some of the most loveliest of towns and villages both inland and on the coast. Every day there was somewhere different to explore and after a busy day out, what better than back here to enjoy a glass of wine overlooking the river!

Johnny and Lyn are excellent hosts - nothing is too much trouble, even to the extent of Johnny cutting a path so that I could set up the camera to look out for the mysterious coypu ! Thank you both so much.

Lovely small group of Gites with magnificent setting by river with waterfall .Johnny and Lynn are perfect hosts who live on the site,completely un obtrusive but there if needed for helpful advice about the locality.I had a delightful and restful break on my own and would definately consider going again.

Beautiful old mill setting, great for river watching, relaxing and chilling out - and even a spot of fishing! Good studio accommodation with everything you need and a private terrace and garden. The owner Johnny was extremely friendly, generous and helpful, without being intrusive. A very pleasurable stay and look forward to visiting again in the future.

Absolutely lovely destination for a romantic getaway or a family holiday away from cities, traffic and noise. The place is hidden away situated along a spectacular river, however very easy to find and close to a big supermarket. We have enjoyed a barbecue, deck chairs by the water, ping pong and an absolutely fantastic canoe ride down the river. Even though the cottages were sharing the same huge garden, you have the feeling of being all alone ! Johnny was an amazing host and proved to be very helpful in regards to local attractions. There is a fabulous golf course only 20 minutes away driving, and also a lovely stylish town by the sea front. Overall we definitely recommend this place and for sure we will return ! Thank you Johnny for your hospitality !

Rustic, romantic and wonderfully tranquil. As our lifestyle at home is so hectic all we wanted was nature and peace and not a lot more. Thanks to Johnny giving us some food and cider to get us trough our first night as we arrived too late to shop! We cooked a lot in the cottage kitchen as the french market produce and supermarkets sent me off into cooking heaven.

We didn't do a lot of sightseeing as the local walks and the canoe provided us with all we really wanted but St Malo and Dinan were lovely. The local Viaduct now provides adventure seekers with bungey jumping luckily we ran out of time!

We shall return to re visit the Mill and the quiet kindness of Johnny and Lynne.

Once again I managed to find a place that was what it appeared to be in the advert! Arriving at night in the darkness the first impression we had was the presence of the river making itself known tumbling over the weir, it was the soundtrack to four lovely tranquil days at Le Moulin l'Eveque. Our time there was short so we didn't venture very far, we wanted to enjoy the unique setting and just relax so we paced ourselves with the river. We paddled the owners canoe gently up stream or just sat and watched out for the bright blue flash of the Kingfishers on the river highway. They even perched right in beside our window. Our little studio Gite had windows on two sides that opened onto river views under two great weeping willow trees so we kept them open for the sound of the weir and the birds in the trees when we were inside, but most of the time we spent outside, just being outside, by a river in a green place. It rained while we were there, but the romantic in me just saw the gloss on the trees and the ripples on the water and then the sun shone again and all was well with the world. Anyway the Barn was there, wide open on one side so we still felt we were outdoors but under a shelter if there was a shower, we played table tennis and listened to Johnny's cds and sipped wine and as the sun went down we heard the barn owls and the river and all was well with the world.

Johnny and Lynn made us feel welcome as if they had know us from before. They provide a tranquil haven in which to recharge the soul and de-clutter the mind and yet it's just a short hop from the motorway, the bakery, the supermarket..........

What a beautiful place! Lost for words,just fantastic!

Best holiday for many a year.

Great location! Near to all places of interest.

Johnny and lynn are great hosts. Enjoyed their company on walks and

meals out. The wildlife is fantastic over cup of coffee in the morning, also we enjoyed Johnny and Lynn's company in the evenings with barbeque and glass of wine ( they are great company)

So peaceful,tranquil-it's just a perfect place.

Johnny and Lynn have great knowledge of area and can give you suggestions on what to do and see.

We will definitely be back.

Within 45 minutes of getting off the ferry, we drove along the A84 and arrived at Le Moulin L'Eveque. What a fantastic place!! The views are just to die for and the peace and quiet is unreal. Unfortunately there was no fish on the menu as my husband (Mick) didnt quite get there but he will next time. Johnny and Lynn were perfect hosts and even the pets made you feel at home with the cats bringing in mice (Nuts) and birds(Felix). Our gite was cosy and comfy although most of our stay was outside just enjoying the peace and quiet, we will definitely be going back.
