Bright gite for animal lovers on a Peacock Farm

The gite is one of three in a terrace on a small farm run by an English women. The farm is located close to Argentan and all its facilities but down a leafy lane in the middle of fields. On the farm there is a herd of rescue horses, a flock of wild peacocks, cats and dogs. All the animals are beautiful and friendly. The farm leads straight on to a green lane which links endlessly through the local countryside and small hamlets. Ideal for walking and cycling. The gite has an open plan kitchen and dining area on the ground floor. Upstairs is a double bedroom and a television room. The shower room and toilet are on the ground floor. The gite is entered from the main courtyard. There are glass double door which lead out the back to a shared grassed area. A washing machine and dryer is available in a nearby barn. Additional storage. Gardens and paddocks to roam, a little brocante to browse. Guests can feed the peacocks and walk foals up the chemin by arrangement. I live on the property in a separate house.
