About this property

Relaxing Country Retreat



The house is built of stone, with granite lintels and sills and a natural slate roof. This property occupies a peaceful backwater on a no through road, but is just 3 minutes away from a thriving village with shops and a pharmacy.

The property is 70 minutes from the ferry port at Ouistreham, and 10 minutes from the fast rail link to Paris at Vire, making day trips to the capital a reality. All modern conveniences are to be found in Vire, including several major supermarkets, shops and good quality restaurants. The world famous Mont-Saint-Michel is an hour away, as are the beautiful sandy Atlantic beaches between the Mont and Granville to the north. The River Sée, famous for its salmon fishing, is 10 minutes away, and the nearest access point to the long distance footpath and cycle track linking Vire to the Mont-Saint-Michel is just down the road. An 18-hole golf course is 5 minutes away, alongside Lake Dathée, with its nature reserve, footpaths and water sports centre.


The property is accessed via a short driveway from the country lane which leads up to it. There are just three other houses in the lane. It is south-facing, and he site is flat, and slopes gently towards the south. The grounds are laid entirely to grass, with several mature fruit trees and a small wooded area.

A beautiful property

This was the second time we have stayed in this beautiful property near Vire. It is modern and well maintained with a loverly private garden overlooking fields. It is in a perfect position to explore Vire and Normandie. We visited the beaches near Granville, Omaha beach American cemetery, Bayeaux and took the train to Paris on 3 occasions. We will definitely be booking again. :-)

Ruhe und Erholung pur

Ein liebevoll renoviertes, sehr gut, zum Teil mit antiken Möbeln, ausgestattetes kleines Bauernhaus auf dem Lande. Die nahe gelegene kleinere Stadt Vire bietet alles, was notwendig ist. Die Lage des Ferienhauses ist ideal für Ausflüge in eine schöne und historisch interessante Umgebung. Ziele wie Bajeux, St. Malo, Caen sind innerhalb einer guten Stunde erreichbar. Wir hatten einen erholsamen und interessanten Urlaub in einem schönen Ferienhaus

First-rate gite, comfortable, very well equipped, looking over peaceful meadows; friendly hosts

A lovely spot to relax and enjoy all the sunshine we had. Nearby lake and voie verte handy for exercise. St Germain village, Vire and the local markets together offered good food shopping and plenty of cafes/bars for lunch and people-watching. Granvile and Fougeres made good day trips.

Quiet from the start, everything we needed was available. A welcome pack was much appreciated after a long journey. Clean and tidy throughout.
