Clean, Comfy Cottage. Suitable for 2-4 guests. Family-friendly. LA MAISMENT.

La MAISMENT is a Normandy-style cottage providing comfortable, clean, homely accommodation. We have tried to create a holiday home that we would like to find when travelling as a couple (all the home-to-home comforts including free wifi) or when we travelled with our children when they were young (without having to fill the car with children's equipment). It is extremely child-friendly: Spacious mezzanine bedroom/playroom and a well-equipped play area outside in an enclosed garden. Lots of baby/toddlers' equipment : 2 cots, 2 high chairs, baby's bath, potty, children's cutlery and plates/dishes, stairgate, bed rails, etc + plenty of toys, books, DVDs + games. The main bedroom is on the ground floor next to the bathroom. It has a king-size bed (160 X 200) with 2 good quality mattresses and a cot. There are 2 bedrooms on the mezzanine, one with a double bed, the other with 2 singles and also a cot. The bathroom has a large shower, double washbasins and a towel dryer. The kitchen is well-equipped with a dishwasher, washing machine, large fridge-freezer, micro wave oven, electric oven with a vitro-ceramic hob, kettle, toaster, coffee machine etc. The living area has a comfortable 3-seater sofa and armchair, a large flat-screen TV and DVD player. Outside on the patio there's garden furniture (table + chairs + sunshade + barbecue) for al fresco dining and sun-loungers for relaxing in the garden. There's a playhouse for children as well as swings and a slide. Not forgetting the hens' park - a big hit with children who enjoy feeding them food scraps and being rewarded with fresh eggs :-)
There are 2 swimming pools, both a 15-minute drive.
Ideal for sightseeing: Honfleur + Deauville on the coast 1-hour away, the D-day beaches slightly further. Cerza Wildlife Park a 45-minute drive. Monet's house + gardens about 1 hour away. Several local chateaux (4 within a 20-minute drive) one with an 18-hole golf course. For sport-lovers: cycling, canoeing, kayaking, wind-surfing, fishing, golf, tennis, horse-riding and swimming. Or just relax in the garden or down at the sandy, lakeside beach in Brionne. Stroll in the local shops, mingle with the population, and practise your French! Walk in the countryside, grab a bargain at a Brocante/Foire à Tout (Street Fair), play French boules with the locals, or just sip a glass of wine on a terrace café as you watch the world go by.
Second holiday home available : Le Batison sleeps 6.

Brilliant accomodation
Maddie (the owner)was there if required and very helpful. Well equipped and quiet place to stay. If you have children there is a vast amount od toys and a toy shed. There are chickens at the end of the garden and love to be fed any scraps you have left. The garden is well kept and very pleasant. I give it 5 stars.

Perfect for a holiday with small children
Like many reviews stated, this house is perfect for a stay with young children. Everything you need is there: children's cutlery, cots, changing mat, baby bath, high chair and many many many toys. Whenever we left my son kept asking: when will we return, I want to play there! Ideal to have a washing machine and dish washer as well. There is a lot to do in the area, so you won't be bored a bit. Small things for improvement: safety 'gate' downstairs as well (there is one upstairs) so children won't climb the stairs by themselves. The fence is placed for privacy (so we think) however this blocks the view from the house at the garden, so it makes it a bit harder to watch your children. There are so many plates, cups and glasses that you could use a different one every day and still be eating from a new plate after a week. This does mean that there is hardly room to store your groceries. If you want a holiday with very small children where you can sit back, relax on your sun chair and have them play in the garden: simply book it! Be aware this is one holiday home, connected to another one in the same building with an openly connected garden. No problem for us. You can hear the neighbors through the walls as well as people walking upstairs in the mezzanine in your own home. Maddy is an absolutely lovely host. Ready to help you in whatever way, very quickly responding and she wrote a nice guest guide to help you to find your way. We would definetely return.

Great house for kids
Really enjoyed our stay. Lots of toys for the kids, really enjoyed the fresh veg and eggs and feeding the chickens, and Maddie was lovely. 2 bedrooms are on a mezzanine level with a balcony down to the ground floor. Worked out fine for the kids but would have liked to have known before booking

A lovely Gite and location for a family holiday
We had a wonderful break at la Maisment. Our two young daughters (4 and 1) loved the toys in the house and in the garden. They also adored the chickens and spotting fish and frogs in the pond. The location is fantastic - in a quiet village, if you just want to relax at home, but with plenty of things to see nearby and close to a town for supermarkets and other amenities. The children loved swimming in the lake in Brionne. We also visited Chateaus, Moulin Amour (30 mins drive away) and local markets. Maddie was a fantastic host, great communication and ensured we had everything we needed. It is well equipped for young children (cot, high chair, potty, baby bath, toys, books). Other reviews have commented on the children’s bedroom being on the mezzanine and so open to downstairs - we didn’t find this a problem as we sat outside on the patio area in the evening while the children went to sleep. The children loved their bedroom/playroom. We had a fantastic time and would highly recommend staying here.

Very restful place, even with a toddler!
Really lovely place to stay with an 18 month child, very well kitted out. She would have quite happily played in the garden with all the toys and watched the chickens all day every day! Lots to explore without needing to travel very far. Very peaceful place to stay, we thoroughly enjoy our visit.

Lovely cottage for exploring this beautiful area.
A very clean, comfortable and well equipped cottage. Excellently positioned for access to so many places of interest across this area of Normandy. In spite of rain at some point of most days, we were able to find somewhere to visit on each of our 10 days, and discovered there was so much more that we just didn't have time to fit in. Definitely going to need a return visit, The owners provide lots of information on the local area and the best ways to reach various towns and attractions. They also provided a welcome pack of food stuffs that was very well thought out - everything you need on arrival before you have chance to get to the supermarket. They were very easy to contact and quick to respond when we needed to get in touch or ask for advice. Our only suggestion would be that the property description should make it clearer that access to the main bedroom is actually via the bathroom and that La Maisment does adjoin another cottage, Le Batison. Although each property has its own patio/dining area, much of the garden facilities are shared. Whilst this didn't cause us a problem on this visit (the other property was only occupied for 3 days of the 10 we were staying) if the weather had been better and we had wanted to make use of the sun loungers, we would not have had any privacy if a family staying in the adjacent cottage had been using the children's play equipment or were accessing the parking area. This aside, we had a lovely holiday, one of the most comfortable beds we have had in a holiday cottage, and found more to recommend about this property than to find fault with. Our thanks and appreciation to Maddie and Bruno for being such wonderful hosts and looking after us so well.

Great place for kids
The house was lovely - simple but had everything we needed. The kids rooms upstairs are on a mezzanine so not ideal for those younger ones who need to tune out to go to sleep, but the place had all the amenities needed and the garden the kids just couldn't get enough of!

Nice place to stay
Maddie was a good host. We were welcomed with plenty of fresh food for a wonderful breakfast including eggs from Maddie's own chickens. The house was clean, comfortable and well equipped. The grounds are well kept. There is plenty to do here for a family, inside and out. This property would benefit from a wifi connection. Fred and Lucille

Nette woning, te klein voor het aangegeven aantal personen
Het vakantiehuisje is knus en netjes. Alle dagelijkse broodnodige benodigdheden staan ter beschikking. Allerlei speelgoed, spelletjes enzovoort staan uitnodigend in functie van het kind. Als ik dan èèn opmerking mag maken, de mezzanine lijkt me enkel geschikt voor kleine - en of opgroeiende kinderen. Het huisje wordt aangeboden met drie slaapkamers, wat overdreven lijkt Dit mag anders omschreven worden. Men zou meteen denken aan zes volwassen personen, maar vergis u niet! Daarvoor is de ruimte veel te klein en onpraktisch. Gelukkig waren wij met vier en dat lukte net.
