Having spent 4 days in this gorgeous location, I was consumed by the peace and tranquillity as well as the beauty of the area. It is close enough to the local village and shops should you need them, but set far enough away as to feel as though you can relax and appreciate the beauty that nature provides every day. The hosts are a very friendly, dog loving couple and nothing is too much trouble to help you fall in love with this majestic property and all that it has to offer. I can't wait to go back!

From the moment we arrived, Mandy, Karl and Sam made us and our two Labradors feel welcome, and are excellent hosts. They are such down to earth people that we felt immediately at home as if we had known them for years. The gite was superb and well-equipped with large rooms and huge windows, and the outdoor space fantastic for the dogs, who enjoyed swimming in the lake or playing on the lawns. We too enjoyed sitting in the outside areas, which are peaceful and well-maintained. The chateau dogs are all friendly, and the chateau itself stunning.

We have just returned from a week in your gorgeous new Gite - our arrival to La Motte was breathtaking, such a welcome, and stunning surroundings. What a wonderful welcome from you all and the very generous and delicious Welcome Pack (four-legged guests loved theirs too) - we purchased some of the wine to bring home :-) Everything was perfect and so comfortable, so lovely to find such a gorgeous, clean place to stay with your dogs, we need more places... We sampled two fabulous Restaurants - Catherine's Table and La Renaissance - amazing food, surroundings and service - such good value. Amazing Boulangerie in Ecouche, local produce market in Argentan on Tue/Fri - loved Belleme/Falaise and Cabourg - beautiful sandy beach and promenade. We returned home laden with wine and cheese, and so relaxed and regenerated, probably the most relaxing doggy holiday we have had. Good Luck for the summer, although I think you will be fully booked in no time.
