Les hydrangeas is a wonderful place from which explore Normandy. The cottage is absolutely beautiful, and is a fantastic display of the pride and care the owners Marie-France and Claude show in their property and how wonderfully they treat their guests. The cottage is extremely well equipped, and is situated in a lovely peaceful setting surrounded by a very well looked after garden which is a pleasure to wander around in. The owners live on site, are very respectful of their guest's privacy, but are always available to answer any questions you may have about the accommodation and places of interest in the area. If the French language is not your strong point, conversation in English is very good. The town of Thuit-Signol has a fantastic bakery and butcher shop, which are a pleasant ten minute walk away. A larger grocery store with gas station is about a ten minute drive away. All in all we had a fantastic stay at Les hydrangeas, thank you Marie-France and Claude for your warm hospitality and for sharing your beautiful bit of Normandy with us. My wife and I, and my 84 year old mother stayed here, and would not hesitate in the least to recommend this cottage as a place to stay to anyone looking for a quiet and peaceful location from which to explore Normandy. (Just an additional note, there are stairs up to the bedrooms, but my reasonably fit mother had no problems going up or down)
