Family Gathering
Our Canadian add UK family met here for a much anticipated reunion. This is a gorgeous property that provided plenty of space for ten adults and six children. The house is lovely with a well stocked kitchen, lots of comfortable sitting areas, and a great patio where we sat outside for meals and evening chats. The grounds are beautiful and we really enjoyed the big pool. Kate was a lovely, helpful host. All in all a great stay!

Memorable family experience with excellent host
Our family had an incredible, memorable stay in the Normandy region, steeped in history, which was based out of Kateā€™s lovely estate and enriched by her kind facilitation and personal involvement with the welcoming local community. We stayed in the main house, which provided ample private sleeping areas and lovely communal areas for cooking, eating, and socializing (both inside and outside) by our 11 adult family members. The highlight of our stay was meeting with some of the local residents to share remembrances of some poignant experiences from World War II, and Kate went above and beyond to help us make connections and share our stories. Kate has a wealth of knowledge about the local area and the rich history enshrined there, and we are grateful for these deep and personal connections. We will be forever indebted to Kate for her enriching contributions to our experience. We used Kateā€™s estate as a home base, which was well situated for exploring the greater Normandy region and returning to a tranquil spot for the evenings. The gardens are quite beautiful, and we wish weā€™d had more time to enjoy the pool and the grounds for playing family games. We highly recommend this estate as a wonderful gathering place for families and friends, whether it be to explore the region, enjoy a peaceful respite, or both. We would love to return to enjoy more time there. Again, we thank Kate for her warm hospitality.

Family holiday
The property was ideal for the wide age range of our group with areas for relaxation and quiet and a fabulous covered pool which was popular with the children. Very well equipped and comfortable. Good communication with the host and seamless check in and out. Altogether a really great holiday venue.

Great Family Holiday
A great place for a family holiday - all 17 of us! Lots of space for children to run and play - the pool was a HUGE favourite with the kids and adults. Super fully equipped kitchen and dining areas inside and out big enough for us all. Not 5-star luxury, but for converted farm buildings in rural France it was comfortable and welcoming. Thanks Kate.

Great House for a group.
We rented this house for 6 couples and children of varying ages. There was plenty of room for everyone - no sense of being overcrowded at all. Hardly saw the children as they spent most of the time in the pool. Good set up for mass catering.

Family Holiday at Les Ecuries
We were courteously met by the owner Kate Blacker on our arrival and given a conducted tour of the property and grounds. All bedrooms were en suite, comfortable - bed linen and towels provided - and met the needs of our extended family. The modern kitchen in both the large and small house was well equipped. Large dining room and comfortable lounges. We were fortunate with the weather and all meals were taken on the large patio area outside the large house - bbq facilities provided. The grounds of the property were well maintained with flower beds and large areas for the children and adults to enjoy games of rounders and cricket. A highlight of the property was the heated outdoor enclosed swimming pool. Locally there were interesting villages and manor houses and forests to visit. The property is within easy reach of the channel tunnel and ferries. An exceptional location for a family holiday and thoroughly recommended.

A lovely slice of Norman tranquility!
We had a lovely stay at Kate's place, which was ideally suited for a big group of 8 adults and 6 kids under 5. The domain in which the house is situated is superb, with lots of space for kids to play. The weather wasn't great, so the indoor covered pool was a great asset in that regard! The house itself is large and well-equipped, especially the kitchen. The floors upstairs were very creaky and the showers are a bit dated, but that was our only observation in an otherwise fantastic place. Kate herself lives on the domain, which was completely fine for our group but is something for visitors to be aware of. The barn, which has three bedrooms and separate living space, was perfect for one of our families, but is separated by Kate's house in between and is a 5 minute walk away from the main house. Again not a problem in itself, but something to be aware of if you are travelling with small children who would sleep there in the evening -- we needed a mobile app baby monitor as the signal of the normal device did not travel. Big thank you to Kate for her warm welcome and responsiveness, we very much enjoyed our stay.

Excellent sƩjour pour 4 gƩnƩrations
TrĆØs agrĆ©able sĆ©jour dans ce domaine pour notre famille de 19 personnes, de 1 Ć  91 ans, rĆ©partie sur les trois sites, permettant une vie diurne et nocturne variable et adaptĆ©e Ć  chaque gĆ©nĆ©ration. PropretĆ© impeccable, agencements charmants, sobres et efficaces. Kate est accueillante, gaie, chaleureuse et disponible. Entre vaches et chevaux, l'environnement champĆŖtre est calme et revigorant. Les espaces communs (terrasse, patio, cuisine, salons) sont vastes et agrĆ©ablement organisĆ©s. Le parc est trĆØs grand et bien entretenu, avec une petite note un peu sauvage trĆØs sympathique. L'Ć©quipement est suffisant pour des sĆ©jours de vacances. Les chambres et salles de bain fonctionnelles (Ć  noter: deux chambres en enfilade = 3 lits simples). La piscine est parfaite, grande, protĆ©gĆ©e et chauffĆ©e, confortable. A noter: s'il y a bien une chambre accessible aux PMR, la piscine est Ć©loignĆ©e du bĆ¢timent principal et s'y rendre en chaise roulante (via chemin cailloutĆ© et gazon) ou pour une personne affaiblie sur le plan moteur est fort ardu . Saint-SaĆ«ns, tout proche, regorge de bonnes adresses (on recommande vivement la boutique "Le Verger de la Varenne" et le boucher qui est juste en face: la Boucherie de Centre sur la place principale).
