La Maison Noble - Large Family Gite in the heart of Calvados, Beaufour-Druval Reviews

Maison Noble is an excellent base
By Burnett and Gudge families on 20-Sep-2018
A fantastic week! Maison Noble is an excellent base for exploring all the sights Normandy has to offer. We enjoyed visiitng Honfleur (does get very busy), Cabourg, Bayeux and beautiful Beuvron-en-Auge (which is only a 15 minute drive away). The children had a wonderful time on the many beaches within easy reach – Cabourg, Houlgate, Villers sur Mer (which is also home to a super dinosaur museum). Deauville and Trouville are worth a visit too. Our absolute highlight must be the D-Day Trail however, both the British cemetery at Bayeux and the American cemetery at Omaha Beach (St Laurent sur Mer). If you are interested in the D-Day history, you absolutely must visit the 360 degree cinema at Arromanches. It is incredible – reasonable, very well done and enormously moving. We enjoyed a great deal of fromage, beautiful cakes from the patisserie in Dozule and one or two glasses of Normandie cidre and vin rouge. Thank you.”

Tops for everything you need
By Susan on 13-Apr-2019
We really enjoyed our stay at your house, what a beautiful, quiet area and such lovely walks, we all had a fantastic time. Your house is very well equipped, we have stayed at many different houses over the years but yours is at the top for everything you need. Thank you again for everything and we would probably stay with you again maybe next year.

Restful week
By Hains family on 14-Jul-2018
We have had a lovely week at Maison Noble. Everything we needed was here. It was homely and spacious. Enjoyed sitting outside in the garden with a glass of wine, plenty of sun but shade when needed. Our two teenagers were happy to have wifi but also liked to have a go at speaking French when out and about! We visited several places on the coast and had a nice meal out at the creperie in Beuvron-en-Auge. All in all, a restful week and would be happy to return ourselves and recommend to others. Thank you especially to Jane who was always so quick to respond and answer any questions, a pleasure to deal with. We also did the circular walk a few times, just a good distance! “

House is perfect
By Hawthorne family on 21-Jul-2018
Thank you for an amazing week! The house is perfect and the garden was enjoyed by all of us; the children loved playing ‘hide and seek’ whereas we made the most of the peace (when the children were asleep (enjoying a bottle of wine on the patio. We used Maison Noble as a base to explore Normandy and we visited Mont-St-Michel (well worth the drive); Honfleur; Cabourg; Houlgate; Viller sur Mer; Pegasus Bridge and much more. The beaches are vast and we were blessd with wonderful weather and a much appreciated breeze. Super U, in the town, is great and the local vets were very helpful in ensuring the dog’s passport was stamped. The instructions from the owners are very useful and full of attention to detail which made finding the property and making use of everything so easy.

A lot to see and do
By Sarah on 22-Jul-2018
The property was as described and fully equipped. It was clean, spacious, well maintained with a lovely garden providing sun and shade. The owner was very easy to correspond with, no problems at all. We went to several of the places that the owner recommended (towns, restaurants and local walk). There is a lot to see and do a short drive away. We also sampled the local cider and calvados. I would recommend the house to family and friends of all ages as we loved it.

Ideal for children and dogs
By Jacky on 08-Sep-2018
Recently returned from an enjoyable stay in this comfortable and well appointed house. The location is quiet and peaceful, with a large secure garden, ideal for children and dogs. There are nearby local towns to visit and a cider farm, where you can sample the local cider. A little further afield is the charming port of Honfleur and the town of Deauville. There are several nearby markets and beaches all within easy each, or you can just enjoy a walk in the local countryside. Will visit again.

Marvellous week-end

Very well equipped house
By Teresa on 13-May-2019
The house is down a winding lane, but don’t let it put you off as it is well worth it when you arrive. The property is lovely, and very peaceful. It is very well equipped, with the bed made up on our arrival. With 4 toilets, 2 showers and a bath this property would be ideal for a large group, although didn’t feel like we were rattling around with only 2 of us there. The kitchen is well equipped, including a deep-fat fryer built into the worktop, although we didn’t use it. The dishwasher is very quiet running, and the utility room had a top-loading washing machine and fridge/freezer (large fridge, small freezer). The washing line is at the side of the house, and a large airer was very handy on a variable weather day, as put lots on it and stood it on the patio, then quickly carried it inside when it started raining! There is good storage in the bedrooms & plenty of hangers in the wardrobes, which is nice change. There is a selection of dvd’s and books in the lounge, and being able to get English TV was very welcome. The log-burner gives a lovely amount of heat very quickly; there were some logs and firelighters at the house, and we then bought a bag of the log blocks from the garden centre (often available at the supermarkets and garages as well). There are masses of different types of places to visit, and the owners have provided loads of information leaflets to help with this. Owner is also very quick to answer any queries. Thanks so much Jane, hope to visit again x”

Maison Noble is very much among the best
By Mathew on 23-Jul-2019
Maison Noble is a lovely holiday home in the Normandy countryside. It has a large and well-maintained garden – equally ideal for families with children or for those looking for a quiet getaway – and is set in beautiful countryside and farmland outside a small and very pretty village. The house itself is spacious, very clean and very well equipped, with three bathrooms/showers and more WCs than I can remember. At least four and maybe five! It is also exceptionally well stocked with everything you might need for your holiday. The nearest shops are a short drive away - no more than ten minutes - in Dozulé, which offers small shops, among them two very good bakeries, and a good supermarket. It is close to the delightful upscale seaside resort of Deauville, as well as the wide Normandy beaches near Villers-sur-Mer and Houlgate. It is also only a few minutes from the motorway, so access to the WW2 landing beaches near Caen is easy, as are trips slightly further afield to the beautiful medieval city centre of Rouen, magical Mont St Michel, or Bayeux. I've stayed in lots of gites and holiday lets in France, and used to own one myself further south towards Vire. Maison Noble is very much among the best of them. Jane, the property's owner, seemed very helpful and friendly in all my dealings with her.

Home from home
By Veronica on 22-Oct-2019
What a wonderful week we have just had! La Maison Noble is a lovely rural house in a very quiet setting with a beautiful garden. Everything has been thought of meaning it is very much a home from home, including a very comfortable bed! Despite being October we were lucky to have good weather. Jane was extremely helpful in the lead up to the holiday, providing all the information we required and responding to our couple of queries very promptly. All the information on the Holiday France Direct website and La Maison Noble's own website was accurate. The house is in an ideal setting: very close to the D-Day landing beaches and museums as well as Caen, Bayeux, Lisieux and Falaise (William the Conqueror). Retail therapy on a wet day is amply served at the Mondeville shopping centre on the outskirts of Caen! Thank you La Maison Noble! A peaceful and restful holiday all round.
