Your trip would not be complete without a visit to the wonderful scenic Petite and Grand falls or Petite Chapelle (small chapel) housing an American war monument with panoramic views stretching for miles. Mortain also has a disused monastery which you can visit, this was one of the last working ones in France. Other places of interest include Mont St Michel approximately 1 and 1/4 hours drive away. Normandy is famous for its beeches and war Museums. Pay a visit to Bagnoles-de-l-orne, a delightful and only thermal spa in the whole of Northwest France.

    Karen's cottage is a wonderful place to really get away from it all. The cottage is tastefully decorated and fully equipped. It is very private with a view of a meadow with cows. The only sound we heard was the buzzing of the bees. Karen is a nice hostess, responds quickly and accurately. Moreover, so is also very nice. In short, we recommend this cottage to everyone. And it could just be that we ourselves come to stay here again

    Wonderful stay at this charming little gite.
    We had a wonderful weeks stay at this charming little gite. The location offered complete relaxation and peace and quiet with the lovely cows as your neighbours! A great place to explore the rural country side. Including lovely visits to the local towns of Domfront, Avranches, Ducey and the village of Lassy-les-Chateaux which has a wonderful Chateau worth a visit. About an hours drive you reach more tourist attractions including St Michel and the D-Day beaches. Karen was a fantastic host and provided us with a lovely warm welcome ensuring we had everything we needed. We will be recommending to family and friends. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

    We needed somewhere central to the area we were viewing properties in and this fitted the bill perfectly. It was pretty, clean and had everything we needed, we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it to friends and relatives.

    Nestled in the hills between Barenton and Mortain, the Maison de Lilli is the prefect antidote to modern living. Modern enough to be comfortable, furnished in some finds at the local markets, the eclectic mix of styles draws you in. With cows at the back of the gite and goats and sheep at the front, you need never worry about noisy neighbours! Having told the owner that we were coming over for our 20th wedding anniversary, she upped the romance. With red rose petals on the bed and a heart-shaped cake made by her daughter, our holiday started extremely well. Within ten minutes of arriving, the bottle of red wine kindly left by Karen was open and we were sitting in the garden admiring the view. This is the perfect place for days out. You are always within an hour of somewhere interesting. My particular favourite was Domfront, the medieval town. A fascinating place and the packed brasserie in which we had lunch could just as easily have been serving people hundreds of years ago. You will not be disappointed if you go to stay at this property.

    Wow! That was our reaction when we pulled into the drive of Maison de Lillie.

    The gite is a typically chic French country cottage but with all the luxury you would find at the more expensive properties. Plenty of relaxing walks, restaurants nearby, and not far from the coast either. We will definitely be booking again later in the year to explore more. We were a little too early in the year to enjoy the lovely private garden and to fire up the BBQ (next time ). The welcoming bottle of wine went down a treat after our journey. Thank you very much. We will return.
