This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### heather G. 17 Mar 2017 #### Wow! That was our reaction when we pulled into the drive of Maison de Lillie. The gite is a typically chic French country cottage but with all the luxury you would find at the more expensive properties. Plenty of relaxing walks, restaurants nearby, and not far from the coast either. We will definitely be booking again later in the year to explore more. We were a little too early in the year to enjoy the lovely private garden and to fire up the BBQ (next time ). The welcoming bottle of wine went down a treat after our journey. Thank you very much. We will return. ##### heather G.

Zur Begrüßung stand eine leckere Flasche Wein und selbst gemachte Marmelade für uns bereit. Es war ausreichend Brennholz vorhanden um romantische Abende vorm Kamin zu genießen. Wir hatten das Glück ein paar sonnige Tage im Garten bei beeindruckender Stille erleben zu dürfen! Mit dem Auto sind verschiedene Ausflugsziele innerhalb einer Stunde erreichbar. Das absolute Highlight war Mont-Saint-Michel. Diese sollte man besser in der Woche besuchen und die Tickets für die Abtei bucht man auch besser im vorraus. Der Kontakt zur Vermieterin Karen war sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Eine echte Empfehlung. ##### Roland C.

There are different hikes not too far away and there are nice markets and brocantes in some close by towns. Karen was very nice and gave some tips on nice things to visit.

The cottage is tastefully decorated and fully equipped. It is very private with a view of a meadow with cows. The only sound we heard was the buzzing of the bees. Karen is a nice hostess, responds quickly and accurately. Moreover, so is also very nice. In short, we recommend this cottage to everyone. And it could just be that we ourselves come to stay here again ##### Susan D. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Greg W. 10 Aug 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Wonderful stay at this charming little gite. We had a wonderful weeks stay at this charming little gite. The location offered complete relaxation and peace and quiet with the lovely cows as your neighbours! A great place to explore the rural country side. Including lovely visits to the local towns of Domfront, Avranches, Ducey and the village of Lassy-les-Chateaux which has a wonderful Chateau worth a visit. About an hours drive you reach more tourist attractions including St Michel and the D-Day beaches. Karen was a fantastic host and provided us with a lovely warm welcome ensuring we had everything we needed. We will be recommending to family and friends. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Nestled in the hills between Barenton and Mortain, the Maison de Lilli is the prefect antidote to modern living. Modern enough to be comfortable, furnished in some finds at the local markets, the eclectic mix of styles draws you in. With cows at the back of the gite and goats and sheep at the front, you need never worry about noisy neighbours! Having told the owner that we were coming over for our 20th wedding anniversary, she upped the romance. With red rose petals on the bed and a heart-shaped cake made by her daughter, our holiday started extremely well. Within ten minutes of arriving, the bottle of red wine kindly left by Karen was open and we were sitting in the garden admiring the view. This is the perfect place for days out. You are always within an hour of somewhere interesting. My particular favourite was Domfront, the medieval town. A fascinating place and the packed brasserie in which we had lunch could just as easily have been serving people hundreds of years ago. You will not be disappointed if you go to stay at this property. ##### Tracy D. Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2017 This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 8/10 Good #### arnaud D. 12 Jun 2017 #### So british ! La confortable maison de Lilly est un gite indépendant doté d'une chambre spacieuse à l'étage. Vous y serez au calme dans un environnement verdoyant. À l'exception d'une liaison internet, vous y trouverez tout ce dont vous avez besoin. Le lieu est propre, cosy, conforme aux photos et aménagé à l'anglaise. Aux alentours, la ville la plus attractive est Mortain, avec ses charmantes cascades (petite et grande). Il peut y avoir un problème de taille : en l'absence de Tessa, la personne de confiance, nous avons été contraints de contacter Karen par téléphone (en Angleterre !) pour obtenir la localisation. Mais nous n'avons pas réussi à nous comprendre. Il a donc fallu faire appel aux habitants de Barenton et nous avons eu beaucoup de chance que l'un d'entre eux connaisse l'endroit. Pour que de pareilles mésaventures ne vous arrivent pas à votre tour, voici quelques indications : - partez de Barenton centre avec le magasin Coccinelle sur votre droite, prenez la direction de l'ancienne église, - après l'indication de sortie de Barenton, prenez la première route à gauche, puis encore à gauche (D182) en direction de St-Clément- Rancoudray. - Monter sur près de 2 kilomètres, - au croisement, avant la forêt, une maison fait l'angle avec 1 gîte de chaque côté. C'est là... ##### arnaud D. Stayed 3 nights in May 2017 This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### David H. 19 Feb 2017 #### Fantastic French experince! Our friends booked this for us last minute. They stayed in its sister gite (6907475) a stones throw away. We wanted to surprise our partners for Valentines! Our gite was more than we could have ever expected. I understand the complimentary bottle of wine and chocolates are standard, not just for Cupid's day, what a lovely touch. The gite was extremely clean with some lovely pieces of furniture. It was mild for February but we couldn't resist lighting the cosy wood-burning stove. The owners description totally matched our expectation. There are some great walks, we enjoyed going into Barenton and walking along the disused railway line, the area is beautiful. It was great to be with our friends and yet not on top of each other. I would highly recommend it to anyone. ##### David H. Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2017 ---
