About this property

Les 3 Fresnes, beautiful thatched cottage in the heart of Normandy nature.

Group accommodation in the heart of Normandy nature.

Les 3 Fresnes welcomes you in a beautiful Norman cottage over 300 years old, combining authenticity and modern comfort, in a 7000 m2 garden with a space housing a large heated outdoor swimming pool for your summers and a lounge with a large fireplace to warm you up in winter.

Les 3 Fresnes also offers many optional services to facilitate your stay: research and booking of your activities before your arrival, carrying out your shopping on the basis of your shopping list (so that everything is tidy and fresh for your arrival ), arrival lunch basket to allow you to fully enjoy your first evening without having to cook, breakfast, homemade jams, meal preparation (menu to be defined together - cooked with four hands with you within the gîte).

Our approach is to be as authentic and natural as possible, so we do our best to offer you services using natural or organic products, homemade, from our vegetable garden grown according to the principles of permaculture, or provided by providers that respect the same course of action as we do.

The gîte can be booked without any services, or with a full butler-type service to help you at any time during your stay (before and during), or by selecting only certain à la carte services.

We accept the organization of parties or private events, for which we can also offer our services. Be careful to validate with us before your booking the feasibility of your evening project (especially in terms of number of guests).

Looking forward to welcoming you.

A magical place!
Les 3 Fresnes is a magical place to stay in Normandie. The house is beautiful - all the charm of an old home with all the modern amenities. The property is beautiful, full of flowers and trees with lots of activities for kids (pool, ping-pong table). Close to some lovely towns for sight-seeing and shopping. Vincent was a lovely host, very helpful and accommodating. Would definitely return. Great spot for families, friends etc.

Fairytale house
If you looking for the quintessential Normandy experience, you will love this place. From it’s thatched roof, hand hewn beams and huge stone fireplaces, this place exudes charm. You can’t mind steep staircases, quirky rooms and narrow spaces. It is over 300 years old but has been well maintained. The surrounding property is beautiful. Vincent & Clara we’re very accommodating and friendly. He took us on a nice tour of the house and property which included a beautiful pool area and theirprivate vegetable garden. Pitt, their Australian Shepherd was so playful and friendly. He would come to see us whenever we were outside. Vincent gave us a jar of his homemade jam that was delicious and came by every day to make sure we didn’t need anything.

Perfectly charming very old home
Vincent’s property seems to be the quintessential French countryside home! Vincent was extremely helpful with helping us navigate the area and recommending restaurants. He was very easy to communicate as his English is excellent! The kitchen had everything we needed to cook. The pool area was lovely for swimming or reading and afternoon cocktails. The house is on a very large piece of property that the guests have access to. Vincent will even pull some vegetables from his garden for you. The only critique is that it may not be accessible for people with limited mobility as the stairs are quite steep and narrow and the floors are uneven. There is one bedroom, however, on the ground floor. It is a very old house that has been restored, wonderfully! Very charming I would highly recommend this property.

Attractive old house....but some reservations
Les 3 Fresnes is a 300 year old house....exquisite from the outside and with considerable charm inside. Vincent, the owner, was very responsive and helpful. The house is well positioned in a quiet area close to Honfleur. The garden is beautiful and the swimming pool and surrounding area are lovely (although we were unlucky with the weather and could use it only very little). However, we did have a number of reservations regarding our week, which marred our experience. At the time we booked the house, it was described as 5 bedrooms, which was important to us - a party of 8 adults and two small children - so my daughter and son-in-law could have their children in a separate room. As it turned out, one of the bedrooms was really a walk-through 'room' at the top of stairs, making it impractical for anyone in our group to use it as a bedroom. I see that this has now been changed on the website. Vincent did give us a small discount at the end of the week as compensation. It was also the case that whilst the showers worked well the two toilets in the house were unpleasantly smelly. In addition, quite a lot of the crockery, furnishings and linen could do with some updating, there was a lot of old and chipped crockery in the cupboards but, for example, not enough useable mugs, and the tea towels and oven gloves were old and dirty looking-hopefully Vincent will have already changed this; he was keen to understand our concerns.

Beautiful bones but so-so maintenance
A beautiful property 350 years old, but not well maintained. Flying ant infestation in the kitchen and mice - so we had to keep all foodstuffs in the fridge. Three out of four stove top lights not working and two gas burners not working. Some chairs in the living room with absolutely no springs (can't sit in them). Only two toilets, and one was very small and dark, and always smelled bad. When we arrived, the towels in the bedroom were very damp. The clothes dryer had a water reservoir that had not been emptied, and hence, it would not dry things until we figured this all out snd emptied the reservoir. Host was very helpful with health issues that we had to address early on during our stay. Location is wonderful and the place could be a real gem - but it was disappointing and not nearly as nice as the write up and price we paid. We would sadly not recommend it as is. Needs work and serious investment.

Heerlijke familievakantie in een authentiek Normandisch huis
Wij hebben een heerlijk verblijf gehad in het familiehuis van Vincent. Het huis was mooi en comfortabel, alleen iets kleiner dan verwacht (geen 5 maar 4 kamers). Het zwembad was fantastisch, heel groot. Iedere avond lekker buiten gegegeten, ook met groenten en kruiden uit de moestuin van Vincent. Het huis was schoon en netjes, de tuin goed onderhouden; hier en daar wat rommelig maar dat hoort bij een oud familiehuis. Vincent was een fijne gastheer.

Zu Hause bei Asterix und Obelix
Ein wunderschönes altes und sehr charmantes Haus für Familientreffen und Urlaub. Ein Haus mit Charakter, nicht alles perfekt, aber alles vorhanden, was man für einen gelungenen Aufenthalt braucht und sehr authentisch. Der Vermieter ist angenehm freundlich und hilfsbereit und spricht sehr gut englisch. Wir waren dort nicht zum letzten Mal zu Gast!

Week-end entre amis
Nous avons loué cette très belle bâtisse pour un week-end entre amis. Nous étions 12 personnes. Nous avons apprécié le confort de la maison et son charme fou, Vincent l’explique très bien en arrivant il s’agit d’une maison familiale qui a une histoire et ça se sent. La maison a tout le confort nécessaire pour y être bien, nous avons pu profiter du magnifique cadre et du soleil qui était parmi nous. Vraiment l’idéal pour un week-end entre amis. Nous avons passé un très beau séjour, merci à Vincent pour tous ces conseils et pour sa gentillesse. À très bientôt !

Einmaliges "Märchen"-Haus zum Wohlfühlen und Entspannen
Wir haben im August 2022 zehn Tage in diesem fantastischen 300-Jahre alten Haus verbracht. Nicht nur das Haus mit seinem hübschen Fachwerk Design versprüht einen magischen, wie die Kinder es beschrieben: märchenhaften Charme, auch die Einrichtung, die teilweise richtig antik ist, lädt zum gemütlichen Verweilen ein. In der Küche ist alles vorhanden, was man zum Kochen braucht, sogar Gewürze, Salz und Pfeffer, Kaffeefilter, Spülmaschinen-Tabs uvm, sprich Dinge, die man normalerweise selber mitbringen muss, sind da. Die Betten sind bei Ankunft gemacht und Badetücher liegen zur Genüge bereit. Vincent stellt frisches Gemüse und Obst aus seinem kleinen selbstangebauten Garten zur Verfügung. Wir durften uns dort, gegen einen geringen Aufpreis, so oft bedienen, wie wir wollten. Das absolute Highlight jedoch ist der Pool. Ein herrlicher, mit einer schönen alten Mauer umzäunter "Zauber-Garten" mit geheiztem Pool als Mittelpunkt. Ausreichend Liegen und Stühle mit einem grossen Sonnenschirm laden zum Faulenzen ein. Ein absolutes Paradies für Kinder, aber nicht NUR für Kinder. Jeden Abend haben wir nach dem Abendessen ein Lagerfeuer angezündet, für das Vincent ausreichend Brennholz zur Verfügung stellt. Die gesamte Atmosphäre im, und um das Haus ist tatsächlich märchenhaft. Man taucht ab in eine andere Welt, in der das Handy oder der Fernsehapparat auf einmal keine Rolle mehr spielen. Wir haben nur zwei kleine Bemerkungen zu machen, dies ist allerdings schon "meckern auf hohem Niveau" : da das Haus für 14 Personen vorgesehen ist, finden wir, dass zwei WC´s dafür nicht ausreichen. Beim Pool gibt es einen Kühlschrank, den wir z.B. nicht genutzt haben, da man sowieso keine Gläser dort benutzen darf (was auch komplett ok ist). Diesen kleinen Raum hätte man nutzen können um dort z.B. eine Toilette zu installieren. Alles in Allem: Unser Urlaub in der Normandie ist dank dieser aussergewöhnlichen Unterkunft und dem herrlichen Wetter zu einem unvergesslichen Erlebnis geworden.

Magnifique maison normande
Superbe endroit, le charme d’une demeure au toit de chaume et colombages, une piscine incroyable entourée d’un très beau mur de pierres, à l’abri du vent et qui bénéficie d’un micro climat complètement inattendu. Nous y avons passé deux jours, le temps d’un week end, avec trois autres couples d’amis. Vincent est un hôte très attentif qui vit à quelques dizaines de mètres de la maison. Vous ne manquerez de rien. Je recommande vraiment la maison de Vincent pour un cours séjour ou des vacances.

Un joyau dans son écrin de verdure
Cette maison ancienne est magnifique , originale et entourée d un parc arboré, fleuri qui donne envie de faire la sieste sur son gazon à l ombre de ses superbes arbres. Le coin piscine fait rêver entre chaises longues et coin repas. Gîte très bien équipé pour recevoir beaucoup de gens au niveau de la cuisine et des accessoires (vaisselle ,four,frigos). Beaucoup de couchages mais que 4 vraies chambres. Merci à Vincent pour son super accueil et son enthousiasme. Nous avons tous adoré cet endroit.
