The Experience
Heaven for horse-lovers: two large, bright, smart gites at either end of a converted coach house, with stabling in between. The friendly Holfords live in the adjoining main house on their showcase 18th-century stud farm. They are Australian and English, both vets and thoroughly hands-on with their 100-or-so well bred show jumpers. Watch them training and stroll in the impressive gardens: formal French, with lily pond and carp lake. There are also two tennis courts, a games room, and a covered (unheated) swimming pool. Indoors all is impeccable too: the look: classic, sober and uncluttered. Sturdy mahogany sleigh beds have beautifully puffed-up duvets and both French and English pillows. Attic ‘dormitory’ singles are snug under slanting beams and skylights. Almé, with spectacular overhead carpentry, has a spacious kitchen/diner and a separate sitting area looking out of arched windows. Baloubet has a first floor triple-aspect kitchen/diner leading to a balcony with more lush Normandy country views. Nearby markets provide the wherewithal to exercise the excellent kitchen kit. Major sights surround you.

We stayed at the Haras-du-Gazon and we could not have had a more enjoyable stay. The owners Tim and Anne were most welcoming, and the accommodation was extremely well equipped, within the beautiful and extensive grounds, home to horses, swans and otters. We were provided with recommendations of activities, trips and restaurants on arrival. There was a large swimming pool, bikes, tennis racquets, table tennis, dvds etc onsite and plenty to do in the region. We'd thoroughly recommend a stay here and we hope to return soon!

If you are seeking a beautiful location and comfortable, spacious accommodation to share with family or friends we highly recommend this property. Adults will enjoy the tranquility, the gardens and grounds and historic sites to visit whilst the children will love the swimming pool, games room, play area and the beautiful horses. Anne and Tim are very friendly and helpful hosts and we can't think of any negatives. it is a special place.

Amazing place with great owners Tim and Anne. if you like countryside, horses, flowers, swimming pool, garden, history, books, life - that place is for you. Really very lovely place were spent time with family or friends. Specially very good book selection at English. I read about Australian experience in Normandy "French Tables", sit at nice garden and eat Camamber from nearest food market. I would love be back one day. Start to miss that place now.

- Evening boat cruise on nearby Rabodanges lake with wonderful candlelit dinner onboard.
- Circular drive: 'Route de la Suisse Normande' - starting at nearby Falaise and taking in the local beauty spots and natural heritage of this region on a signposted easy 75km route just to the west of the Haras.
- Cycle ride or hike on greenways( no motorised traffic) along the Veloroute Côte Fleurie Pays D'Auge: section 'Mezidon-Canon à Lisores': a beautiful broad track along the La Vie river valley passing by half timbered manor houses, orchards, Normande cows...
- 'La Route des Saveurs' a drive of discovery of the lovely Pays d' Auge, taking in the ville de charme of historic Orbec with its famous ' Au Caneton' restarant, St Pierre Sur Dives with its The Monday market in the medieval hall, a marché traditionnel.
- Hire canoes or kayaks for an hour or two or perhaps half day descent of the Orne river from Thury- Harcourt or Clécy.

Haras du Gazon is a great place to stay with family and friends. Our party of 9 enjoyed the pool, bikes, games room and little lake. There are lots of great day trips to do nearby and the hosts Anne and Tim were friendly and helpful in every way. The accommodation (Gite Alme) was spacious with great beds, lots of bathrooms, and well equipped.
