It has charm and character, we particularly enjoyed spending time in the kitchen cooking, reading and playing games. The U supermarket is brilliant! We plan another return visit in late May/early June!

The house is big, well equipped and cosy. Eddy, the friendly neighbour, will help you out in case you're in need. The garden is enormous and offers shade during the heat waves, that's precious! You'll find bio and local food in the main village of Pré-en-Pail, if you're not fan of Super U food, that is. You'll find plenty of picturesque sites to visit, and lots of possibilities for hikes, biking, or horse-riding.

Lovely old stone house, brimming with character. Tastefully decorated in keeping with its age. Situated next to a church and with large supermarket less than 5 minutes in the car. Large garden overlooking the countryside at the rear. Satellite TV was great in the evenings when we returned from our days out. Friendly hosts gave us lots of useful information about the area. Thanks to Bob, his wife and Eddie. We had a great time. Only wish our stay was longer!

We had the best stay we could have hoped for. If you’re looking for an original French country retreat, a base to explore Normandy, quiet evenings and soundless sleep, this is the place for you. It’s genuine, French rural living at its most authentic. Unspoiled, charming and immensely pleasurable. No shops but a supermarket less than five minutes drive away and, if needed, the friendly help and guidance of the owners neighbour, Eddie, just over the road. Highly recommended.

Got in late and house was not properly cleaned and had no toilet paper. Previous tenants towels on the bathroom floor and no sheets on the beds. Quaint little village but no store to get anything like toilet paper. From this trip we learned to always keep some tp with us..

Location trĂšs intĂ©ressante avec beaucoup de potentiel. Il y a des travaux en attente qui ne nous ont pas gĂȘnĂ©s. Si vous aimez le charme et l’authenticitĂ© des fermes normandes, le calme et la place Ă  l’intĂ©rieur comme Ă  l’extĂ©rieur, c’est ici ! Nos animaux se sont sentis comme chez eux, dedans comme dehors et tout Ă  fait en sĂ©curitĂ©. Le confort est assez rustique mais de bon aloi et rien ne nous a manquĂ©. Il y a mĂȘme Ă©normĂ©ment de choses ! La cuisine est grande et plutĂŽt bien agencĂ©e. La cour intĂ©rieure est au soleil toute la journĂ©e. Et notre hĂŽte est vraiment trĂšs sympathique. C'est un amoureux de la rĂ©gion et il nous a bien orientĂ©s pour les visites incontournables locales. Le village est charmant, agrĂ©able, bien fleuri et trĂšs calme. Il y a des 2 circuits de marche trĂšs bien entretenus. Et la voie verte de la vĂ©loscĂ©nie est facilement accessible. Les commerces sont proches (PrĂ©-en-Pail). Nous ne regrettons pas ce choix de location. Et nous reviendrons fort probablement.

Nous sommes restés moins d'une dans l'hébergement. Il était sale. Les serviettes de bains étaient jaunies, des miettes étaient encore présente sur la cuisine. Le sol était sale. Les lits tiennent a peine debout.

Maison ancienne joliment rénovée. TrÚs propre et trÚs bien équipée. Linge de maison compris et c'est vraiment un plus quand on réserve pour une nuit seulement. Nous n'avons que les valises à poser. L'hÎte n'est pas présent mais le voisin est disponible en cas de problÚme. TrÚs aimable et chaleureux. Nous recommandons ce lieu calme et reposant pour tous ceux qui aiment la campagne. Famille Bzn

La maison de Bob correspond à la description et aux photos. C'est une charmante petite maison décorée et meublée avec du bon goût, on y trouve tout ce dont on peut avoir besoin pendant les vacances (la seule chose qui me vient à l'esprit est le sÚche-cheveux que je n'ai pas trouvé, mais cela n'était pas bien grave). La maison se situe dans une petite commune, à 15-30 minutes d'attractions touristiques comme le belvédÚre du mont des Avaloirs, le village classé de Saint-Céneri-le-Gérei, des cidreries et des fermes à chÚvre à visiter. Des chemins de randonnées sont également accessibles pour les amateurs de la nature. Nous avons passé un agréable séjours (2 adultes et 2 enfants en bas ùge). Merci !

Lovely, authentic property done up to a high standard. Perfect location for discovering north and south, with lots of attractions to visit. Very peaceful, only a short drive to the nearest supermarket. Communication with Bob was exceptional. Very forthcoming with suggestions and in replying to messages. Eddy who welcomed us on arrival was very friendly. Unfortunately, due to quarantine rules being placed whilst we were on day 3, we had to return to the UK, however would happily rebook this property again.

We had a wonderful 4 night stay here, in what seemed like paradise to us. We were blessed with perfect weather, in early September. The fields around the farmhouse were serene and beautiful. We walked miles of trails around the farm. We drove kilometers of back country roads in the gorgeous Normandy countryside. Total peace and quiet. We visited the spectacular Chateau de Carrouges and several other charming villages. Plenty of shops just 3km away in Pré-en-Pail. If you are looking for a peaceful country retreat, this is it. It includes three large bedrooms. The bathroom has a lovely clawfoot bathtub. The living room is quite comfortable, but we spent most of our time sitting outdoors. The caretaker, Eddy, lives next door and he was super helpful. He gave us some great recommendations, as did the owner. We had a great stay at this farmhouse, and wish we had stayed longer. Next time we will!

We spent a great week in Bob's house to visit Normandy. He is really kind and helpful with everything we needed, although we couldn't meet, but his friend Eddie was the neighbour who showed us the house. He is also really kind. The house is really nice and clean!! It is big enough for six people and you can find everything you need. It's very comfortable and the furniture in the old style is great!!! It's the same as shown in the photos! We really recommend the house and we appreciate Bob kindness.
