About this property

Delightful romantic gite, ideal for couples.10% off Brittany Ferries.

This gorgeous property is situated in Northern France one and a half hours drive south from Caen. Set in the most tranquil countryside, surrounded by fields and great scenery. The gite is on one split level dividing the kitchen and bathroom from the lounge and bedroom. Ideal for those who struggle with stairs. The gite has a double four poster bed with a very comfortable mattress. There is a TV with English and French channels, DVD and CD player. It has a modern fully fitted kitchen and bathroom comprising of a bath and shower. Electric heating throughout, keeping the gite warm and cosy during those winter months. A private driveway and secluded garden with table and chairs and portable BBQ, for alfresco dining, allowing you to unwind and enjoy the peace and tranquility. The area provides a walker's and birdwatcher's paradise, as well as great cycling opportunities. In our Village of Barenton, you can follow the disused converted railway line for miles in both directions, stopping for lunch and a well earned rest. Walk into Barenton for your fresh baguettes or drive 10- 15 minutes into the local town of Mortain. This town has a large outdoor swimming pool (seasonal). Your trip would not be complete without a visit to the wonderful scenic Petite and Grand falls or Petite Chapelle (small chapel) housing an American war monument with panoramic views stretching for miles. Mortain also has a disused monastery which you can visit, this was one of the last working ones in France. Other places of interest include Mont St Michel approximately 1 and 1/4 hours drive away. Normandy is famous for its beeches and war Museums. Pay a visit to Bagnoles-de-l-orne, a delightful and only thermal spa in the whole of Northwest France. There is so much to do and see in the area such as the Bayeux tapestry, Domfront, Saint- Malo, Dinan, the Camembert factory, with the Abbey. Your trip would not be complete without a visit to the weekly traditional French market at saint-Hilaire, purchasing foods, clothing, and home goods. Not to mention the Vide-Graniers/Brocantes markets to pick up a bargain. Alternatively, stay in and totally relax, read a book by the romantic wood burner. Purchase the most delicious organic chicken eggs locally from our friends neighboring English farmer's. A lovely secluded garden with table and chairs for alfresco dining and deck chairs to sunbath or watch the sun go down. You are welcomed with a bottle of red wine and chocolates.If you wish to travel with family or friends, why not consider our sister gite Maison de Lilli (ref; 6871522)titled 'An exquisite romantic gite ideal for couples'.If you decide to bring your own bed linen and towels( duvet and pillows provided) I can apply a 25 euro deduction if you give me early notice. Additionally a 10% discount on Brittany ferry crossings using membership number F01T2C. Full directions will be emailed on booking.

Very good stay for two!

We had a very good week at Karen's gite. It is a nice place! The kitchen has good equipment, the bed is big enough even for bigger persons, the garden is very nice during the day as well as in the late afternoon... We will recommend it to our German friends.

Secluded get away

Lovely little cottage for 2. If you just want to get away from it all, this is the place. If you like to visit interesting locations, I think this would be a bit remote.

Private and cosy cottage

Located in the middle of nowhere, which is great in times of corona. The only companions you will see are friendly cows. Great scenery. The cottage is supplied with everything you need, except Wi-Fi but has English language satellite tv. Supermarket and bakery are a 5 minute drive away. Cottage is a bit difficult to find, make sure you have the GPS coordinates.

Knusse woning met comfort op het Normandische platteland

Wat een schattig huisje ! We waren blij verrast toen we hier pas s’ avonds rond 21.30u aankwamen ( zonder diner, want alles was dicht op zondag ) Ik vroeg Caren om een theezakje, maar ze kwam met een heel dienblad vol heerlijkheden, soep, gaufres, lekker brood, thee en chocolade. Wat gastvrij !! We voelden ons meteen welkom en hebben 10 dagen lang genoten van het schone en fijne onderkomen, zo mooi gelegen met koeien in de achtertuin. Heel leuk !

Peace & tranquility

Had a lovely stay at Gite Grace. Gite has everything you need. Decor was to my taste - very shabby chic. Garden is lovely and quiet. Gite is very rural (further from the village than we expected - bikes would have been ideal). If you are looking for a peaceful, relaxing, quiet time away from it all - then this for you.

Charmante, romantique, parfait pour un week-end en huis clos

Ce lieu dégage une atmosphère chaleureuse, romantique. Le calme ambiant est appréciable, nous en avons fait un cocon pour un week-end en amoureux au milieu de la nature, Simplement parfait. Il est très bien équipé et propre. Eteignez vos portables, profitez du temps qui passe et du soleil levant en prenant votre petit déjeuné et du coucher de soleil bien installé dans le petit jardin... Nous vous le conseillons vivement. Stéphane et Sylvie.

Lovely clean gite in a quiet location

The gite is located down a quiet lane so only had the cows for company which was nice. The gite was very clean on arrival and had all the basic items needed. The location is good for exploring the surrounding area of Normandy, Domfront had a bit more restaurants and we also went to Jullouville on the coast which was a good beach town. Mortain and the cascades are definitely worth look. Overall a lovely stay.

The listing of the property was accurate. Jeremy and Karen set out to please and Tessa at the farm across the road was helpful with fresh eggs and advice. I would recommend this gites as a place for peace and tranquility with access to places for dining out.
