Lovely unique property. Peaceful setting.
Unfortunately the photos are out of date. The lavender around the pool has died & the pots of herbs have met a similar fate. Weeds growing up between paving around pool were also unwelcome. We also experienced a problem with ticks not helped by a lot of the outside grass area having been left uncut . We tried going for a walk around the paddock but we all got ticks on us. Kitchen floor needed a good deep clean and I had to clean the front of the kitchen units on arrival. Despite this kitchen well equipped.
Bedrooms a good size. Beds comfortable and bed linen good.
We did enjoy our stay but felt the garden and plants around the property needed a lot of attention. Downstairs shower room needs a coat of paint.
Mixed feelings from family members but overall a pleasant holiday.

House is in a lovely area with good amenities. We had a few issues with the house but Caroline (host) done everything she could to resolve issues in a timely manner. We would probably stay again if we were staying in the same area

If you want a place to chill with your family in a great house, in lovely grounds but still close enough to the shops this is it. The house is lovely inside and full of character. The pool is a great size and the sauna and gym are great extras. Caroline is a really good host and we hope to return.

The property was much bigger as we expected; the garden and the swimming pool and gym were excellent. Internet was 100%. Kitchen/ stove were very fine; the dishwasher had an errorcode but we managed to overcome the probleem with the help of Youtube. Powersupply was a problem due to some errors with the pool, but the owner Caroline and her French staff tried to to fix the problem. Caroline was very helpfull to us by refunding us a dinner in a local restaurant for the inconvenience.

Nice house and beautiful setting. We had a lovely stay in a very quiet environment. A few points of attention: the house is described for 8 to 10 persons. But we think it is best for 6 persons. When we wanted to shower the water was cold after two persons who took a quick shower. We had nuisance from a lot of hornaars/big wasps, they were even in the house and bedrooms when we opened the windows. So it would be good to install flyscreens on the windows because we couldn’t open them for fresh air. But despite of these inconveniences we had a great holiday!

The property is simply idyllic set in its own private grounds in the lovely Orne region. Conveniently situated near Sees in between Argentan and Alencon provides so many options for things to do and see that a week is simply not enough.
The farmhouse has a lovely warmth and homely feel. It is equipped with everything you could need. We had a wonderful stay here and would not hesitate to recommend and or return next year. Thank you Caroline for sharing your beautiful home in France. It was our best family holiday to date and we look forward to returning again next year.
Our only criticism is that we only booked for one week!

Our second stay in the last two years and again our family enjoyed our stay. The farmhouse location and facilities are excellent. Highly recommended if you want a quiet place to stay, but with easy access to roads and rail.

We had a lovely stay in this property. The property is in an idyllic rural location but just a short drive to Sees with plenty of shops and restaurants. The property itself was clean with an authentic French feel, the outside was beautiful and a real suntrap round the pool. As is typical to French farmhouse type properties it was a little chilly inside downstairs in the evening so pack a jumper and a pair of socks if the weather isn’t great but if it is you’ll hardly spend anytime inside!! Thank you for a lovely stay

Our stay offered us time to relax in a lovely peaceful setting. The outdoor space offered all we needed to relax with plenty of seating to follow the sunshine with the bonus of the pool, well equipped gym and sauna. The BBQ was great for al frecso cooking and dining, eating and drinking at the lovely large patio table surrounded by grape vines.
Sees was very close, providing all we needed from local supermarkets and a great bakery for our morning croissant whilst taking in the calm surroundings.
As a bonus we were lucky enough to watch deer graze in both the morning and evening. The one problem we had with the pool was dealt with very quickly by Paula the local contact with no impact on our enjoyment whatsoever.
Thank you for sharing your home.

We had an amazing week, the place was in the middle of the forest sourrounded by lush green. The kids loved the pool, the grandparents loved the old house and the decor, and we loved that we could spend time with the family.
In 2 words loved it!

We spent a very enjoyable 10 days with old friends from the USA, at this well equipped property. The generous interior space and a number of terraces made for a variety of environments to spend time in as the sun moved over each day.
The heated pool was a big hit. As it was very hot we made little use of the gym and sauna which would have been a good alternative for cooler or rainy weather.
Outings to Sees and Alencon were good and we also explored other towns and restaurants in the area.
Caroline responded promptly to all our enquiries during the booking process and the local house manager Paula was on call for any issues during our stay.
A good overall experience. Thanks Caroline.

We stayed for a week in June and enjoyed getting out and about in the area; luckily, the weather was pretty good overall.
The building itself is very nice but when we were there it was not clean......amongst other things, the shower was absolutely filthy, the French doors were barely transparent, the floors were grimy underfoot and there was a big pile of filled dog waste bags on the window ledge which we had to dispose of! We had high hopes and were very dismayed with the cleanliness of the property throughout. I sent the owner some photographs and the owner has apologised and said there's not been a problem before.
The gardens are large and there is plenty of space, with a large seating area outside the kitchen. The pool is great. If you have a dog, be sure to use a tick treatment as ours picked a couple up........the spot on did the job.
Unfortunately, due to the housekeeping, we would not want to return to this property.

We have stayed in several properties in the local area, while visiting family and this is far the best. The property is very spacious and well equipped, we all like to cook, so rarely eat out and there was everything we needed, particularly loved the pots of fresh herbs on the patio near the kitchen door. The bedrooms are spacious with very comfortable beds with nice linen. Everywhere was clean and the house was a pleasure to be in. The grounds are lovely and although not warm enough to sit out, we enjoyed he privacy and freedom. Our young labrador was in his element, We would certainly recommend this property, you will not be disappointed. Hope to return very soon.
