The accommodation was sumptuous; the hospitality wonderful. La Tringale is a fabulous place to spend time with family, while exploring the countryside and learning about the poignant history of the region - D.Brancaccio (L.A. California)
A really relaxing stay made all the more enjoyable by Ron & Bunty's friendly hospitality. Lovely accommodation in the superb French countryside. Ron & Bunty, you have made La Tringale a warm and welcoming place. Thanks for a great week - A & W Nock (Bournemouth)
La Tringale provided us with a homely base to return to after our daytrips to the various places of interest in Normandy. To top it all Bunty's & Ron's hospitality was unbeatable - J.Leong (Malacca, Malaysia)
We had enjoyed a week of living in this spacious and clean cottage. Our hosts could not have been any more welcoming and we appreciated the personal touch. We hope to come back again soon - J. Lim (Guildford, Surrey. UK)
Arriving just before 1am on Sunday morning Ron & Bunty couldn't have been more welcoming. It was a surprise and exciting to find we were the first family to stay in the 'very' newly finished gite. Many thanks to Ron & Bunty for their hospitality - P & J Brightman (Surrey, England)
All the family had a fantastic time in Normandy. Something for each one of us. The holiday started well with a couple of days rest in the B&B, being looked after really well by Ron & Bunty. We loved it in the spacious and wonderfully clean gite. We hope to return again - The Snook family (Cheshire, UK)
What a pleasant stay. We absolutely loved it and will be returning for sure. We came here with friends and feel we are leaving with 2 more. Thank you for your wonderful hospitality. - J & V Brooks (Canada)
We had a wonderful time. Thanks to Ron & Bunty for your hospitality. Noga & Eran (Israel)
I had a wonderful time. I liked the pond, climbing-frame and the barbicue; it was very nice staying there. I liked playing with your wonderful dog; she was great fun. I wish I could come back again. Beth (Norwich, England) - Parents said: a Wonderful place. Very comfortable and child-friendly. We definitely plan to return.
We have had a wonderfully relaxing fortnight in this lovely area. The cottage was perfect for us - a real, home from home. The children really enjoyed the freedom of the garden. Thanks to Ron & Bunty for your warm hospitality, and of course to Beth, the star attraction. - T & E Browne (Ireland).
Lovely room. Great breakfast. Great time. Lovely hosts. - C & M Webb (Glomel, France).
