About this farm stay rental

Set in the rural beauty of the Normandie-Maine Regional Natural Park, L'Aide Frechu, a former farmhouse, has been converted to a comfortable and spacious gite sleeping up to six.

Furnished with a blend of modern and rustic, the ground floor comprises:
A large sitting room with log burner, TV with English and European channels and an entertainment library of films and books.
A spacious fitted kitchen/dining room with built-in oven, ceramic hob, fridge/freezer, dishwasher and a microwave, kettle, toaster, blender and coffee machine and dining table for six. French windows to the garden.
A single bedroom with views over the countryside.
A cloakroom with W.C. and wash hand basin.

A steep staircase rises to the upper floor which comprises:
Master bedroom with double and single bed, rural views.
Twin bedroom with Velux window so you can sleep under the stars.
Modern bathroom with bath, shower over, W.C. and basin.
Separate shower room with shower, W.C. and basin.

The basement, reached from the garden, provides a laundry with washing and drying facilities and entertainment: full size table tennis table, mini snooker, bats, balls etc.

An open garage at the side of the house can be used for parking or storage.

Grounds extend to around an acre and are natural and rural in nature. There is a small, natural pond amongst the trees which fills and empties according to the weather. Children should not be left unsupervised here.

The house is reached via a long farm drive which is not tarmacked.

The house is situated within easy driving distance to three small towns - Mortain being just five minutes away. Here you will find an open air swimming pool, a beautiful lookout from La Petite Chapelle, waterfalls, a range of small shops and two supermarkets. St Hilaire du Harcouet is a larger town with a thriving weekly market and wider range of shops. Domfront is an historic, medieval town with a former castle and traditional timbered buildings.

Locally, you will also find a karting centre and access to miles of safe walking and cycling routes on former railway lines.

Two coastlines provide lovely days out - the north for WW2 landing beaches, the Bayeux Tapestry and historic city of Caen. To the west the iconic Mont St Michel, Dinard, lively St Malo, Granville and numerous beaches.

There are many other towns and interesting places to visit including Le Mans, Bagnoles sur l'Orne, Villedieu-les-Poeles, Rennes, Fougeres, Vire and Flers.
