Peaceful cottage

A typically cosy cottage, in Normandy, comfortably furnished, with a log burning stove. Outside is a small garden with south facing terrace. Set in a rural location it is tranquil and calm. It is located above a small town with all amenities. It is ideally placed for visiting town, coast, country, historical sites, castles, markets, taste seafood, cheeses and don’t forget to sample locally produced cider. Solitude or tourist attractions: there is something for everyone of all ages and interests. The gite is comfortably furnished with plenty of seating around the log burner, there is a large dining table and a well equipped kitchen. Comfortable bedrooms upstairs and shower room downstairs. An enclosed south facing garden and terrace with garden furniture and loungers for sole use of guests. Parking on site with good wifi connection. Logs are included in the rental. There is parking on site. A car is essential to get around the local area, there are buses but this is a rural area. However Vire train station 30 minutes away has direct trains to Paris Montparnasse, 3 hours journey. Walking and cycling on quiet paths, roads, old railways and voie verte network from the cottage makes leaving the car behind for the day an option. We have caretakers who are English but live nearby. Unless required you will not be disturbed by them, they will attend for grass cutting occasionally in summer but will usually fit this around guests.We live in England but can be contacted if necessary. The cottage is situated in a hamlet of a very few houses above the small town of Mortain, that has a few restaurants, an outdoor swimming pool in summer. It is not ‘touristy’ but has everything you would need. It is a rural farming area but is not isolated and has ease of access to all that Normandy had to offer. Fabulous views, empty roads, pretty towns and villages. 40km from Le Mont St Michel that can be seen on a clear day from the view point a minutes walk from the cottage. 20 minutes from a fabulous Wednesday market at St Hilaire Du Harcouet. Sit on the terrace with wine, cheese and a baguette listen to the birds, bees, cows and sheep nearby, watch the world go by slowly and completely unwind. There is a step out of the second bedroom on to the top of the stairs, Carr should be taken if less mobile or with children. Safety gates are available.
