A wonderful luxury property in the heart of the Normandy countryside

Come and enjoy the tranquility of Normandy this summer. Our properties have been renovated to a superb standard, whilst retaining their original character and are a perfect place to base yourself whilst exploring Normandy.   

Our property is made up of three different sized buildings set around a central courtyard which also includes the original bakehouse and a outdoor dining building set in landscaped gardens which include an apple orchard.

Our buildings have been designed to be let separately or to a group who want to holiday together whilst retaining a degree of independence.  Each property has been lovingly furnished (no old cast off furniture here!) and as keen cooks ourselves we have ensured you have all the cooking equipment and crockery needed to cook and serve large feasts!   If you love BBQs, playing outdoor games, bike rides, comfy sofas, jigsaws and board games this is the property for you.

The property is set in approximately two acres of landscaped grounds with trees and shrubs, an apple orchard, a croquet lawn, pond and stream with a Japanese-style bridge over.   It is in a rural setting with spectacular open views across fields of grazing cattle, apple orchards and farmland.

The local village, with all essential amenities, including a small supermarket is 2 km away. The historic towns of Domfront and Mortain (all facilities) are 12 km away.  The property Boudet is moments away from a disused railway line now a cycle track which runs from Flers to Domfront and then onto Mont St Michel, a distance of 85k.  It offers an excellent and safe opportunity to get about and explore the area safely. Do bring your bikes!

Our caretaker lives locally and is English.  

Each property has gas central heating for year-round letting whilst The Barn and Farmhouse also have majestic open fires, lovely in winter!

Quotes from Visitors' Books

'Your house is wonderful – what a gracious and beautiful atmosphere! We all had a wonderful time and looked forward to coming back home each evening to be welcomed by your house.'
UH, Alabama, USA, Farmhouse in July

'Initial reaction – wow! Incredible place - after spending a week - even better. Fantastic, comfortable, spacious, perfect setting for an incredible week. Thanks for the memories.'
GP, UK, Barn in September

'A great way to celebrate a 65th birthday! Great accommodation and gardens for toddlers to romp in. Can thoroughly recommend Bayeux for shopping and lunch, and the horse show at the national stud – Haras du Pin every Thursday ... little girls heaven. Thank you.'
CS, UK, Farmhouse in September

'Compliments to whoever renovated the property – wow!! Especially like the radiator in the lounge area! Had a fabulous week ..., ate wonderfully, recommend 'Moulin de Jean' for that special occasion. Although been to Mont St Michel on many occasions, fabulous time to see it off season – still magical! Thanks!'
CH, UK, Cider Press in December

'A brilliant conception and conversion. The detailing and workmanship is outstanding. The landscaping also adds greatly to the pleasure of staying here. Much enjoyed by all.'
M family, UK, Barn in April

Guest Reviews Of The Barn

Matthew Hansell
8/31/10

Boudet is by far the best holiday home we have ever stayed in and is somewhere we would love to continue to visit in many years to come.

4/5

 We had a very peaceful and restful holiday at the Barn in Boudet, thank you.   It is the perfect spot for relaxing and getting-away-from-it-all and is really well appointed  - we loved it! I’ve no hesitation in recommending your properties...

One aspect which I really do think you should emphasise more in the details of the properties is their very close proximity to the Flers-Domfront veloroute or Voie Verte (the disused railway line cycle track) and the excellent opportunity this network offers for safe cycling (especially with children) as a great way to get about and explore the area.
