Home description

Attractive detached stone cottage, set amid beautiful countryside with forest nearby, yet the Medieval town of Domfront and its ruined chateau ramparts are visible from the garden. The house is typical of the area – stone and colombage. Guests particularly like the peacefulness and space provided with the property.

Recently restored the cottage sleeps four people and is situated only 4 mins drive from Domfront with its shops, supermarkets, “patisseries” and restaurants. It is an ideal base for a variety of holiday tastes i.e. to relax and unwind, touring lovely villages, towns, cities and countryside or for hunting the “French Dream!’

About the location

The location is rural but Medieval Domfront itself has an interesting history – William the Conqueror being one of its former visitors! Along with the chateau ramparts and the far reaching views the town has many old buildings, squares and two beautiful churches – all worth exploring.

One of the many towns nearby includes the Spa town of Bagnoles de L’Orne which has shops, casino, outdoor swimming pool, a large lake plus ‘tea shops’ and restaurants.

The forest d’Andaines to the north of Domfront covers several miles and has many walks and picnic spots.

This region is famous for its apple and pear cider and calvados – tasting of the same is not to be missed!!!

Steeped in history, there are many interesting towns including Lonlay L’Abbaye, Lassay les Chateau, St. Hilaire, Fourgeres and many of these hold weekly markets.

Wonderful beaches are to be found just over an hour away and these include St. Malo, Le Mont St. Michel plus Cancale (noted for its oysters!).

The notorious Normandy beaches i.e. Juno etc. are also just over an hour away and several ports including Caen are within easy reach.
