The house is detached and has all modern facilities, despite being situated in the heart of the Normandy countryside. One of the strongest points of the property is the fact that the lounge and all bedrooms are of a good size - no squashed-in single rooms! The lounge/kitchen is purpose designed and does not, unlike many gites, have to double as a sleeping area. So it is possible to watch television when others have gone to bed. There is both French television (useful for watching the weather forecast!) and many English channels (via satellite).
Unlike the vast majority of holiday rental properties in the area, we allow pets to stay in the house, subject to a modest charge to cover extra cleaning. Any person(s) staying with a pet is required to keep it under control at all times and not to allow it to enter bedrooms or sit on furniture.
There are stunning countryside views from the property. The views from the upstairs windows are especially memorable and often commented upon by people staying here.
You have the added benefit of very large grounds around the property, where you can relax and enjoy the scenery. Sometimes sheep are in residence in a field to the west of the property; this is very popular with children, as the sheep are extremely friendly! There are other farm animals within a short walk - chickens, guineau fowl, ducks, horses, etc.
As the house is in a rural location, it is recommended that you come in a car. Alternatively, by prior separate arrangement we can collect you in the car from Avranches station, take you to the property and help you find a local car or cycle hire company.
