We ask everyone who stays at La Planche Colette to record their thoughts and feedback - positive and negative - in our visitors' book (which you are welcome to read when you come).  These are a selection of people's observations so far...  Please provide us and other future guests with your feedback and tips, too, when you come to stay!
  • "Had a brilliant week, ideal cottage for children.  We will definitely come back."

  • "We had a wonderful week which started with a warm welcome from the caretakers.  Great location and very comfortable cottage."

  • "Quite the nicest gite we've had in France, and we've stayed in quite a few!...  Don't miss Gosselin's shop in St Vaast...  Also had some memorable meals, particularly Le Bouquet de Coscqueville."

  • "Beautiful cottage; such character - everything you could need.  We will try to come back again."

  • "Lovely, well equipped cottage.  The garden is fantastic, and we especially appreciated use of the boules and badminton."

  • "Great, well equipped gite, although still feels very French...  We enjoyed shopping in St Vaast - great poissoneries...  Restaurant-wise we enjoyed La Panoramique and Le Debarcadere in St Vaast (great for pizza, moules and always popular with the locals - a good sign).  Also visited Sainte Mere Eglise, D-Day Beaches, Arromanches, War Cemeteries, Pointe du Hoc - all within easy distance."

  • "We liked Le Vast with superb waterfall.  St Pierre Eglise has a lovely restaurant in the square that takes you back about 50 years - all in all a great recharge and an enjoyable stay.  Many thanks."

  • "Pleasant evenings eating local food and drinking wine.  Local oysters are good.  Good circular drives for short-stay visitors who want to take things easy and not go far.  Particularly liked the coast route from Barfleur to Cherbourg."

  • "Claude & Georgette [our caretakers] welcoming and wonderful.  We love your cottage - everything perfect, very relaxing."

  • "The area is really gorgeous, and to sit in the afternoon and hear nothing but birdsong was marvelous.  We are (or were) very ignorant of the area, and are now full converts to the pace of life, the driving, the food and wine etc."

  • "Just in case any Veggie should stay here, not easy to get much choice of food out and about but at 'Tcheau Suzanne at Montfarville adapted menu to suit - even for 3-year old...v. quick service to suit us with a 6-week old needing feeding... but clearly good at meeting client needs as slower with a couple with plenty of time and no pressure from children!"

  • "Have had an excellent fortnight: cottage, garden and surroundings - beautiful.  Have enjoyed everything (!) - particularly Barfleur, the Bayeux Tapestry and enormous beach at Surfainville.  Thank you!"

  • "Au Moyne de Saire was, in truth, the best meal of the holiday and it was quite busy on a Friday evening.  Cafe de France was another great evening, with the boats coming in and out of the harbour throughout the meal."

  • "Have had a fantastic week here.  Really liked the house - is the first holiday house we've found that we'd love to come back to."

  • "We've had a lovely few days here - spending quality family time together!... Many thanks for offering us the opportunity to stay in your lovely cottage."

  • "First of all we would like to thank you for the use of your beautiful 'Gite'.  Everything we could have needed was at hand.  Our son especially enjoyed the videos and games (so did we during the wet weather - I had forgotten how much fun Kerplunk could be!)... The area is delightful, peaceful & quiet, a very relaxing place."

  • "We came here to relax - and we did!"
