Home-to-Home Child Friendly Holiday Home near Brionne, Normandy, France - LE BATISON Reviews

Maddie is a perfect host - there when you needed her but kept her distance otherwise. We had a couple of hiccups at the start but everything was dealt with good humour on both sides & she was instantly on the case. She very kindly left us milk, butter, jam & bread plus a bottle of local cider & a couple of bottles of beer so we had something when we got there. The gite is very comfortable with everything you need. The garden is lovely & the chickens were good fun, scrabbling to eat our scraps. She gave us a very good price for our almost 5 week stay which was great & which included a good supply of linen & towels so I didn't have to bring any or have to worry about laundering them. This saved us a lot of space in the car - all the better for returning with our car boot finds. Maddie loves a car boot herself & very kindly messaged me each Friday with the weekend's sales as shown in the local paper which saved me a lot of time & trouble searching them out on the Internet. The Wifi was great as well. Her folder of information was also fantastic with details of where all the supermarkets are & other interesting shops & ideas of where to visit.
I cannot praise her enough - she was the best host we have ever had. Obviously it's handy that she speaks English as our French is quite basic but she just has a lovely attitude towards her guests & wants them to have a lovely, comfortable stay which we did. Highly recommended.
