We stayed for two weeks in Gerda and Tonnie's bakery. The atmosphere in the house was very cozy. The weather was not so nice, but the wood stove in the cottage made up for it and made for an even cozier atmosphere! There is a lot to do in the area (even if the weather is not so good). Gerda helped us very well with looking for activities that suited us. We really enjoyed having dinner with Gerda and Tonnie every now and then (Gerda is a great cook) and we definitely recommend this. We had two wonderful, relaxing weeks in the (clean and well-maintained) bakery.

The arrival in the bakery was warm. Gerda received us most of all with a drink and a slice of cake. In the cottage was a welcome drink, a bowl of fruit and a candy bag of sweetheart. The house was really clean! To our delight there were horrors in the house in a few places, allowing you to keep the house easy to fly. There was a little chair on our children, there was a reading book and there was a highchair. A stairwell on top of the stairs. It's a nice house cozy but spacious enough and with everything you need. The location is fantastic. Rural. Quiet. In the surrounding area there is plenty of canoeing, cycling, hiking, climbing course, beautiful villages / towns, flea markets, D-Day etc. We have had a nice time with our kids. Our son of 6 enjoyed working on the farm at the end of the day. It is a relaxing way to get acquainted with a organic farm company. We have experienced the birth of a calf from near. Very special. Unfortunately, the calf died the next day. As a family with kids, we would have liked to have some playground equipment in the garden (swing, trampoline etc.). We pulled out a lot and had wonderful weeks.

We enjoyed the lovely renovated old bakery house and the hospitality of the Dutch owners. The warm welcome with baked apple pie, fresh cream and milk from their own cows. Upon entering, there was already a bottle of bubbly waiting by the fireplace. Curious cows that you cheerfully greeted every morning. The cozy chicks, fun to make that calves were born during our stay. The beautiful night, the ambient air was so dark that we could see the Milky Way really good and you did not get bored of the stars. Beautiful scenery in the area, we visited waterfalls during a hiking trip a few villages further. Mont Saint Michel visited on the coast. D-day visited various places. Domfront cozy town. There is plenty to do. And in the cottage are information leaflets, maps and guides in English but also in dutch. They also had a card with addresses of farmers who are homemade local produce sold. We have also made good use. We enjoyed!
