Photos and Description of this Manche holiday farmhouse Close to beaches! Rural Farmhouse in 2 acre Orchard, sleeps 7 plus baby

Exquisite and Cosy! Nestled in the Normandy Bocage, close to the beaches and the magnificent Le Mont St Michel, is this enchanting historic farmhouse, built in 1650. Set in two acres of orchard, totally enclosed and private (safe for children), the manoir farmhouse is perfect for a family holiday, group getaway or couples hideaway. Fun for kids - swings and activities for the children, pool in summer & peace, quiet and spectacular views for parents. Accommodation: Kitchen, dining and family room; salon; three good sized bedrooms sleeping 7 + baby, family bathroom and feature landing & stairwell. Outside: The rural location is blissfully peaceful & private. Parking to the front and side. Patio to the rear, lawned area and orchard. Lose yourself in the wooded orchard; stroll amongst the apple blossom in spring and discover the primroses hidden in the undergrowth, wander through the lush trees in summer to escape the heat of the day or take a dip in the pool. A Real Home from Home

Great family Fun!

Review Submitted: November 1, 2009 Date of Stay: August 2009
We had a brilliant time in this lovely place, and especially liked playing in the garden. Great fun seeing horses, cows, and tractors all week long (with a few beaches in between!)

Review Submitted: August 31, 2009 Date of Stay: August 2009
Our family of 7 (4 adults and 3 children) just returned home from a very enjoyable 2 weeks stay in this characterful farmhouse. Everything we needed for a restful holiday was there. The bedrooms are roomy, there is a large open-plan kitchen/diner/sitting area. A great area to relax in after a busy day! The children enjoyed watching a (supplied) video or DVD before going to bed.
On fields bordering the house we saw cows and horses grazing. A couple of cheeky hens came to join us whenever we were eating outside on the patio.
We went to a few beaches, ate fresh oysters and mussels, visited the impressive D-Day landing beaches, markets, Dinan, Dinard and there is so much more to see! As we have only seen a small part of this area we will be back!
Thank you Claire and Chris for letting us enjoy your lovely farmhouse.

Peace & beauty in normandy

Dr Michael York
Review Submitted: August 5, 2009 Date of Stay: July 2009
A wonderfully secluded cottage on the boarder of Normandy and Brittany. Quite local walks with barely a car in sight, enchanting Cathedral cities and seafood galore. From the surf and sights in St Malo to the history of Bayeux and the overlord beaches, all are available from this family friendly cottage. Long green spaces for the children to play in, a long dining table and equipped kitchen to eat from, and delightful bedrooms to sleep in. You should be there already!
