15th century Normandy farmhouse, perfect for 2 & baby

A lovely peaceful one bedroom gite, ideal for couples, located on the first floor of a stone built 15th century farmhouse, in a tranquil rural part of Calvados, Normandy. It overlooks the moat and the garden, and beyond that there are open fields. The light and airy gite is furnished with cane and pine furniture in an open plan living area; a TV on which videos can be watched (50 supplied), a DVD player (selection supplied) and a music system. The kitchen has a gas cooker, microwave & fridge / freezer. The bedroom is furnished with a double bed, a chest and two pine wardrobes. There is a garden with furniture and there is BBQ available for use. Although the gite is located in rural countryside, it is easily reached being only 10 minutes from the main castled town of Falaise, the birth place of William the Conqueror. The ferry ports of Ouistreham is 40 minutes, Dieppe 2 hours and Calais/Boulogne 3 hours away. Caen, the capital town of Normandy is 30 minutes. Le Mans is one hour.

Rental rates for the apartment in Normandy, France

^*Please Note: The owner of this property accepts payment in the original currency specified, before use of conversion tool. The conversion tool is provided for your convenience only. The owner may accept other currencies if specifically agreed in advance.

Notes to the rental rates

• Towels and bed linen are provided at no extra charge. We provide a welcome pack for new guests which includes milk, coffee, tea, bread, butter, cheese and a bottle of wine.
  All gas and electricity used during your stay is included in the holiday price.
  
• If there is availability, we will accommodate short mid-week or weekend bookings. If you are considering house buying in France, now could be the time to do so. It is apparent that prices are rapidly increasing and the French population having realised the number of Brits buying and renovating, are now doing the same themselves! 'If the Brits can do it - so can we' seems to be the trend we are noticing. We can assist in pointing you in the right direction for estate agents and Notaires as required.
  
• We regret we are not able to accommodate pets.
