Thank you so much - we have certainly had a wonderful time during our stay with you. Each one of us has found inspiration in your home and life-style. Blessings on your dreams and making them a reality.

We shall be sad to leave your wonderful haven today but already look forward to returning soon. We could not have asked for anything more - even the weather has been outstanding. The gite is absolutely beautiful, comfortable, and better equipped than we could have hoped. We have enjoyed our time here so much, visiting lots of places of interest, then being able to relax in your lovely garden in the sunshine. We could stay here for ever! Thank you so much for making our holiday so special. Wishing you continued success and much happiness.

Ian and Anne (Yorkshire, U.K.) May 3rd 2005

We were very fortunate to have found you and The Haven on our first trip to Normandy and look forward to returning in the future. Our accommodation was excellent (home from home) and you made us feel like part of the family. We will not hesitate to recommend you to our friends.

Celia and Frank (Nottingham, U.K.) May 10th 2005

Thank you very much for your warm hospitality and generosity. Thank you also for being so flexible and accommodating. We have all had an unforgettable (and all too short) weekend here at your lovely retreat. See you again, hopefully soon.

The Aussies (London) May 30th 2005

Thank you so much for a wonderful stay at The Haven. You have been so helpful and hospitable and have made us feel so much at home. You have got a beautiful place here and we will surely recommend it to family and friends when we are back in Denmark. We hope to return one day - that would certainly be nice!

Love from Frank and Gunvor (Denmark) July 9th 2005

Thank you for making us feel very much at home. The garden is lovely and the children have enjoyed your company very much. Our stay has been too short this time to explore the area, but we will hopefully be back.

Love and thanks Penny, Steve, Miles & Ellie (U.K.) July 11th 2005

Thank you so much for a wonderful 4 days - we wish we were staying longer! You made us feel very much at home and we really do appreciate your hospitality. We very much look forward to a longer stay with you next year. Much love and thanks

Lyn & Andrew Heath (U.K.) July 11th 2005

Thank you for a wonderful week. We have truly relaxed with our many games of Scrabble and lovely glasses of wine! Your home really does live up to its name "The Haven" - we feel like we have escaped from the world! I hope all your guests enjoy it as much as we have. Don't worry, we will be back!

Judy, Mike and Fin (U.K) July 12th 2005

Thank you for a truly wonderful few days in your Haven of peace and tranquillity. You have looked after us all so well, and we could quite happily sit and chat with you all day! We suspected that this was our favourite corner of Normandy. Your home, the lovely garden, the views, and your warm hospitality have altogether confirmed our suspicions! We wish we could stay much longer - we will be back again! Merci et a bientot

Love Carol, David, Marie and Alex (U.K.) July 14th 2005

Thank you both very much for making us feel so welcome and for your kind hospitality. We enjoyed it so much - it was a break we really needed after the busy time we've had of late in London - and Richard thoroughly enjoyed lazing in the hammock! We hope to see you again very soon.

Love Jeanette, David and Richard (Aussies) July 22nd 2005

The gite was "warm and hospitable" throughout. We were delighted to have such a clean and cosy base from which to visit the important sites in this part of Normandy. The bucolic peace made such a lovely break.

Bill and Marie Anne Evans (USA)August 1st 2005

Our second visit! This time it has been even lovelier than the first. The farmhouse was bliss. Frances and Hugh, you are so lucky to live here. Waking up to that view is something else! Thanks so much for your kindness and hospitality. I bet we'll be back again!

Alice, Roger and Charlie Ridey (U.K.) August 6th 2005

We have had a very beautiful time in your lovely house, with very interesting conversations about ecology, technology, and all kinds of adventures in Normandy. It has been a very de-stressing holiday. Thank you for your hospitality. We have very much enjoyed our breakfasts and your garden too, and we love Normandy very much. Hoping that a green peace spreads all over the world. See you soon. With love from

Laia, Isabel, Hipolit and Monel (Barcelona, Spain) August 12th 2005

Thank you so much for sharing your gorgeous house and your lovely garden with us. We have thoroughly enjoyed our cycling holiday in this somewhat hilly part of Normandy! It's great to know about this special place, so far from the madding crowd! We hope to see you again.

Vera and Thomas (Austria) August 13th 2005

We had a lovely time here this summer. The weather was perfect, ideal for walks in the countryside. Thank you for driving us around and also for the wonderful produce from your beautiful garden.

Harriet and Tom (U.K.) August 20th 2005

Thank you for a lovely short break. The pretty gite was perfect for all our needs and we are going home relaxed and de-stressed! This is a beautiful part of Normandy, yet only 4 hours from the Channel Tunnel. We hope to return soon, and thank you for your hospitality and the delicious strawberries from your garden!

Love Ken, Marion and Rosie (U.K.) August 25th 2005

Thank you very much for your hospitality and kindness, so that we felt at home in your beautiful house and garden. The kids especially liked the big garden for running and playing after our long tours through Normandy! We wish you all good things in your life and you can be sure that we recommend your house to all our friends.

Jurgen, Ute, Luisa, Daniel and Sebastian (Bavaria) August 27th 2005

Our second visit this year! Here we are again in the glorious sunshine - how lucky we seem to be with the weather. Everything has been every bit as wonderful as it was last time. Thank you for making us feel so welcome yet again - we'll be back!

Much love Ian and Anne (Yorkshire, U.K.)August 29th 2005

This house has the perfect name. It is such a haven of peace and quiet (despite us having 3 young children!). We have all had such a fantastic time that we really want to return again to relax and continue our conversations around the table, allowing the children to play in the garden and the hammock. Many, many thanks for your kindness and opening your home to us all. We wish you all the very best for your future dreams and plans.

Love Craig, Melanie, Abigail, Caithan and Carrick (U.K.) August 27th & Sept. 4th 2005

We really have had a fantastic holiday. Haven't felt so well rested in a long time!! Thanks so much for your generous hospitality and for your lovely gite, home for the past 10 days. We've loved every day we've spent here. The weather has been fab and the views fantastic. Enjoyed chatting to the sheep too, in passing! Many thanks again and all the best.

Daniel and Nadine (UK honeymooners) Sept. 8th 2005

After our surprise arrival, en route for Brittany, you made us all feel so welcome. Your house and garden are so beautiful and relaxing, and we have all slept so well. Thank you for letting us stop off on our way home, even though you yourselves are having a well deserved break back in the UK! We shall no doubt see you again - we would like to see more of Normandy. Also, a "girlie weekend" of relaxing yoga and massage may hopefully be on the cards! Take care and thank you again!

With much love Vanessa, Justin, Amy & Joseph, Paul, Lindsey and Jamie (U.K.) 1st Oct. 2005

Thank you for a very enjoyable stay. I felt really comfortable and relaxed and was made to feel so welcome in what was unfortunately a very short visit. Next time I will stay longer in order to enjoy your company and the surroundings more. Best wishes

Love Ian (U.K.) October 30th 2005

Many thanks for your warm welcome (at such short notice!), your helpful advice, and your beautiful surroundings. We have thoroughly enjoyed our fortnight in France and we wouldn't hesitate to return to this area and your home, or recommend it to our friends. Many thanks and best wishes.
