Tom and Jodie started visiting France in 2004 as part of the Mazda MX5 Owners club. They fell in love with the country and spent many years visiting different parts of France. They found that their favourite type of summer holiday was to take the ferry from the UK and head to a self-catering Gite in rural France. This gave rise to the dream of running and owning a Gite complex of their own. In 2019 that dream came true and they simply love the peace and tranquillity of their new lifestyle. As a passionate golfer, Tom intends to work his way around the many golf courses that Normandy has to offer! They are pet loving and will always welcome guests and their four-legged friends by prior arrangement. We have a dog, Flo, who loves to greet guests; two cats, five hens and a cockerel. Having taken holidays in France as a couple, with a small group of friends and as part of bigger groups, Tom and Jodie know how important it is for guests to have a lovely home from home, and are guaranteed to offer a warm welcome.
