Haras du Gazon

Three generations of our family spent a very happy week here. A very spacious and well equipped gite in beautiful surroundings. Plenty to see and do in this quiet and less visited corner of Normandy. An easy drive to the WW2 beaches and fabulous markets to visit. The foals with their mothers were adorable!

This was our 3rd time staying at Haras du Gazon. Such a beautiful place. So peaceful and lovely. The accommodation is really good quality and very spacious and well appointed. The location is ideal for many tourist attractions but with the feel of also being in the middle of nowhere We just love it. Anne and Tim are very friendly hosts who ensure all needs are accommodated. Our kids have the freedom to roam in a gated environment. Highly recommended

We had a truly wonderful week in gite Alme at Haras du Gazon....well worth having to self isolate on our return! The gite itself was very spacious, really well equipped, spotlessly clean and a great space to spend time with the family. The swimming pool, next to the pond and rose garden, was really clean with plenty of sun loungers to relax. We also enjoyed using the tennis courts and the games room and the roads around the property are great for walking and cycling. There's so much to do in the surrounding area too...I wish we'd had longer to explore. Thank you Anne and Tim!

What can I say... wonderful stay in the larger gite. Family of 10 of us and so much space to all get together or rooms large enough for a bit of peace .. great games room was a god send as well as the indoor pool u heaters but you soon warmed up .. wonderful setting and large grounds to walk round, see the wonderful wildlife loved the giant look like guinea pigs forgot there proper names but wanted to take 1 home .. The place is great for all you horsey lovers they are on your door stop. Kids love to feed horses and foals every morning .. A must stay .. lovely owners very welcoming .

We had a wonderful week in this beautiful establishment. We were 2 families, plus Granny (5 adults, 4 children and 1 baby) and the Gite we stayed in (a converted stable!!) was absolutely perfect for us all. The rooms are large and comfortable and the children's dormitory in the roof was like something out of Harry Potter! The grounds are gorgeous to wander around, with an extremely large semi-indoor pool, tennis court and lake - to watch the cheeky Coypu at play! The games room was a big hit with the kids and we had fun exploring the area and enjoying the wild swimming in the stunning river.

We must say our stay at Haras du Gazon was the best of our countless spring jaunts to northern France. The quality of the gite (Baloubet) was exceptional as was being amongst the animals and grounds. it is the only gite where we have decided to stay at home for the day rather than explore. Sitting on the balcony watching the wild life in and around the lake was a dream! then of course there was getting to know all the horses and foals, not to mention the swimming pool, extensive games room, bikes and formal gardens to explore. Anne and Tim were perfect hosts. We would love to go back.

A very Relaxing and enjoyable time. We had 2 families of 8 in total and the kids loved the breakaway areas and enjoyed playing hide and seek on the grounds. The games room was well equipped and the bikes came in handy when we toured the area. Anne and Tim were very accessible and helpful. We will happily return in the future.

Exceptional accommodation in truly beautiful surroundings. A great base to explore Normandy or just relax in the grounds and enjoy the facilities. Highly recommended.

We had a fabulous half term break as a family group of 16 staying in Cor de la Brier and Double Espoir. These gites are beautifully converted and stocked with everything you could need.The pool was a particular hit with both the children and adults alike. The whole estate is stunning and we loved getting to know the horses too. The area has lots to do and we particularly enjoyed the markets, Falaise castle and Normandy beaches. Anne and Tim are friendly and informative hosts where nothing is too much trouble. We would highly recommend any of the gites at Haras du gazon and hope to visit again

We, a family group of 22, had a wonderful week at Haras du Gazon, staying in Baloubet, Cor de la Brière and Double Espoir. The younger ones loved the horses, the games room and the swimming pool. Others played tennis, cycled or walked along quiet lanes with verges full of wildflowers, played boules or sat in the sun watching the swans on the lake. The kitchens are well-equipped so cooking and eating were a pleasure with Double Espoir large enough for us all to eat together. Ann and Tim were most welcoming and helpful and maintain the gîtes to a very high standard.

Anne and Tim made us very welcome and the info in the house provided lots of ideas for activities. We loved the space, the well equipped gites and the extra facilities including the play room which had entertainment for all ages. The pool and tennis courts were an added bonus. The horses were lovely to watch and very friendly. There is plenty to do in the area but it was lovely to relax too.

This is the second visit to Alme for us. A plus was the wonderful Easter weather. We were able to enjoy the peace of the garden, while the children took full advantage of the pool. In twenty years of staying in gites in Normandy and Brittany, this really is the best and we look forward to returning.

We had a very enjoyable stay in two of the Gites with family. Anne and Tim were very welcoming. The accommodation is spacious and comfortable. The Holfords make sure that you have everything you need for an enjoyable holiday. We would love to return.

Had 8 days in Gite Balubet. Enjoyed every second. The Gite was very clean and tidy, had everything we needed. The location is excellent, up to 1.5 drive from all attraction we visited.

Haras du Gazon is a great place to stay with family and friends. Our party of 9 enjoyed the pool, bikes, games room and little lake. There are lots of great day trips to do nearby and the hosts Anne and Tim were friendly and helpful in every way. The accommodation (Gite Alme) was spacious with great beds, lots of bathrooms, and well equipped.

We stayed at the Haras-du-Gazon and we could not have had a more enjoyable stay. The owners Tim and Anne were most welcoming, and the accommodation was extremely well equipped, within the beautiful and extensive grounds, home to horses, swans and otters. We were provided with recommendations of activities, trips and restaurants on arrival. There was a large swimming pool, bikes, tennis racquets, table tennis, dvds etc onsite and plenty to do in the region. We'd thoroughly recommend a stay here and we hope to return soon!

If you are seeking a beautiful location and comfortable, spacious accommodation to share with family or friends we highly recommend this property. Adults will enjoy the tranquility, the gardens and grounds and historic sites to visit whilst the children will love the swimming pool, games room, play area and the beautiful horses. Anne and Tim are very friendly and helpful hosts and we can't think of any negatives. it is a special place.

Amazing place with great owners Tim and Anne. if you like countryside, horses, flowers, swimming pool, garden, history, books, life - that place is for you. Really very lovely place were spent time with family or friends. Specially very good book selection at English. I read about Australian experience in Normandy "French Tables", sit at nice garden and eat Camamber from nearest food market. I would love be back one day. Start to miss that place now.

a lovely place, we stayed at baloubet,really nice barn convertion right next to the stables.the owners tim and annie were very helpful and welcoming,just walking around the farm was a real pleasure. our young grandchildren loved it. we will return.

We stayed in Baloubet, which was lovely. The setting is very peaceful, but plenty for the kids to do. They enjoyed feeding the horses, swimming in the pool, and playing in the games room. The gite was very well equipped, and the room upstairs was good for the kids, leaving 2 couples in the 2 ensure bedrooms downstairs. Highly recommended.
