About this property

RENOVATED 18C TRADITIONALLY FURNISHED FARMHOUSE IN PEACEFUL & RELAXING GARDENS

Our circa 18th century restored farmhouse is in a dream location, we are in between Mont Saint Michel, Bayeux and the D Day landing beaches.The birth place of William the Conquerer is the Chateau of Falaise, which is a short scenic journey.We are just 50 minutes from Caen ferry port, and between Conde sur Noireau and Vire, the old fortress town. The house is surrounded by large gardens, fields and pastures, overlooking the hills of Swiss Normandy. The lounge has large windows and doors overlooking the surrounding gardens. The terrace is an ideal place to relax with the smell of lavender and the birds singing and bees buzzing in the spring and summer. In the autumn and winter the lounge is cosy with the wood burning stove. The location is perfect for visiting the many diverse historical and natural sites in Lower Normandy. Although keeping a traditional appearance, the house has wifi and a modern oak fitted kitchen. We have French TV in two of the bedrooms and a British TV in the lounge with a DVD player and many channels.We have traditional looking Fire doors to all bedrooms. We also have high chairs and a travel cot for a smaller child.

Great place to stay, perfect for everybody...
Patrick's home is a renovated farmhouse that has been lovingly restored. It has three good-sized bedrooms, all with a double bed and ensuite bathroom. There is also a separate bathroom downstairs. However impressed you may be by the pictures, they don't do the house full justice and it is even more beautiful when you arrive. There is also a large garden, with outdoor eating space. Absolute peace and quiet are very much the order of the day, but if you feel the need for noise then there is nobody within earshot to care. The house also has a log fire for those cold nights and a TV room with one of the largest TVs I've seen. Location-wise, this is the perfect place to stay to visit just about anywhere on the peninsula, with just about everywhere between a 60-90 minute drive. The owner, Patrick, lives locally and is one of the nicest people you could wish to meet. We found Patrick to be very helpful, accommodating, and great for a general chat on the couple of times he popped by to check if we were cold and wanted instructions on using the log fire, or to deliver the very much appreciated gift of ice creams - all this on top of the bottle of wine and ice cream left for our arrival. If we come back to Normandy we would definitely want to stay in Patrick's wonderful home again, and we would recommend to anyone else to do likewise when in the region - you won't regret it.

Normandy explorers homebase
Chose this farmhouse as a secondary option when Covid ruined our original plans. Turned out to be great. We had to delay trip once and owner was very understanding. In addition we were delayed on arrival day and owner was very accommodating. The farmhouse is a very quaint, comfortable, and relaxing escape. We used it as a hub or homebase to explore Normandy - Caen, Bayeux, Omaha Beach, Mont St. Michel, Falaise, all within an hour drive. Etritan, La Havre, and Rouen abit further. Weather was a bit damp and cold so my artistic wife and daughters couldn’t take advantage of the classic French countryside and beautiful gardens to work on their impressionist skills, but this was the place for it! We highly recommend if you are looking for a getaway from it all or if you are taking the time to immerse in Normandy.

Thank you
Due to the changes with the rules on lockdown we were unable to go to France from the UK. However I would say that Patrick was very quick in his responses and has allowed us to move the trip to later in the year, which was much appreciated. Thank you

Incredible house in a rural setting
The property is amazing. Spacious, well furnished and very comfortable. Whilst it’s in a perfect secluded rural setting, there is a small town with all the necessary facilities and shops just a 5-10min drive away. Patrick was a wonderful host. Not intrusive but always nearby should you need anything. The wine and cheese left in the fridge for us was a really nice touch. I’d definitely like to visit again in the summer... Thank you Patrick!

Idyllic Setting in Normandie
This 1800th century farm house situated in the peaceful Normandy countryside, is a gem. It’s location while perfect for a restful vacation, is also within easy driving distance of many of the most popular tourist destinations of Normandy and Brittany. Patrick is a most welcoming and amenable host who is readily available for any questions or concerns. The thoughtful touch of providing Normandy butter, cream and wine on our arrival was greatly appreciated. Not to mention the peaches, picked from trees on the property, which arrived at our doorstep one morning. We were a party of 4 - ( two couples ), who throughly enjoyed our recent five nights stay in late Sept. and who would absolutely consider returning for a longer stay in the future. Our sincere thanks to Patrick and Margaret for allowing us to enjoy their beautiful property.

Lovely house and lush garden, many things to do in the area
This house is lovely decorated and has a very nicely surpising lay-out. The lush garden only increases the holiday feeling. The house is clean and spacious with lovely classical furniture. Activities in the surrounding area that we would recommend: - walking in the quick sand (with a guide (eg via Getaguide) around Mont St Michel - American cemetery at Omaha beach - Bayeux tapissery with (free) audiotour - Walking around Roche d’Oëtre

Quiet and Peaceful Farmhouse
This farmhouse is amazing! Patrick is a great host. The farmhouse is 3 levels. The main level has the dining room, living room, kitchen, bathroom. The next level has one bedroom with ensuite bathroom which provide beautiful views of the garden. The top level has 2 bedrooms with their own bathrooms which also have great views. There is patio furniture in the front and back of the house as well. Walking around the yard is very pleasant and peaceful. The labor of love put into this home is felt as soon as you walk through the door and it is amazing!

The architecture and interior design of the property was absolutely breathtaking and serene.
Separately set from the well furnished kitchen, the dinning room whose ancient stone walls adorned with traditional wall hangings afforded the ideal place to enjoy local food and wine purchased from the village, whilst admiring the views of nature beyond the french doors. Retiring to the lounge area, whose dramatic triple height vaulted ceilings and stone walls were also adorned with wonderful tapestries which depicted historical french lifestyle and could be appreciated from the comfort of a unique semicircular french deco style arm chairs and sofa. Within easy reach of the open plan kitchen with every refreshment close at hand, the enchanting gardens beckons you to enjoy the natural wonders it inherits. One could see vast open farmlands at every view. On returning from the garden , I decided to watch a short documentary on television and sent some emails, it was unexpected but great to have such good internet The upstairs bedrooms were all decorated with beautiful traditional french furniture and incredibly comfortable beds prepared with fresh linens . The instant hot water in the power showers was a welcome way to bath before looking at the stars through a telescope that was thoughtfully left for those of us who enjoy the wonders of the universe. I absolutely loved every moment here and will consider it my home from home.
