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!

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!'
