Our peaceful farmhouse gite is located between the pretty market towns of Sourdeval and Vire, close to the beautiful Lake Dathee and St Sever Forest and the Voie Vert. It sits on a hill with stunning panoramic views in 3 acres of beautiful grounds and an old cider orchard, with a 15' above ground splash pool - seasonal (Vire Aqua Park is just 10 minutes away), climbing frame, trampoline, football net and activity field. There's also a well equipped INDOOR PLAY ROOM, BBQ and lots of outdoor tables and chairs. The location is hard to beat – under an hour from great sandy seaside beaches and major attractions such as MONT ST MICHEL, the D-DAY LANDING BEACHES, BAYEUX, Swiss Normandy and several quality Zoos and Family Fun Parks. We're an easy drive from all the ferry ports and just over a 4 hour drive from the Tunnel at Calais and 1 hour from Caen. On our doorstep is the stunning LAKE DATHEE with a 7km cycle track around it and 18 hole golf course. Here you can fish, windsurf, kayak, enjoy a swim from the lovely sandy beach or play a round of golf. There are great cycle and walking trails around us including within the lovely ST SEVER FOREST, plus a quality hard tennis court in our local village. A car is essential as we are in a rural location and we have a garage where you can store your bikes, fishing equipment etc....AND YOU DON'T NEED TO HAVE CHILDREN TO ENJOY ALL THAT'S ON OFFER! Whether you are looking for a peaceful, rural and private retreat to recharge your batteries, or wish to have a more active stay, we have it all. If you enjoy painting or photography then our stunning views with soaring buzzards won't disappoint, and you'll be spoilt for choice with the selection of award winning restaurants nearby. If you really want to sample the local delicacies then visit one of the daily markets where you'll find amongst other things local cheese, dairy, fruit and sausages and, of course, the famous Calvados brandy! If you are golfer why not spend a day on the beautiful 18 hole course at Lake Dathee and enjoy a drink and bite to eat afterwards in the friendly clubhouse overlooking the lake. Please note that we don't generally accept more than 6 adults at a time due to the layout of the house. Owners are on site in an adjacent property to give you all the help and advice you need during your holiday.

An excellent Gite! Never stayed anywhere so well equipped particularly in the kitchen and for young children. Sheila and Tony were great hosts. Very friendly and welcoming and very helpful with local knowledge and places to visit. Our Grandson loved the trampoline and we loved Sheila’s amazing coffee cake!! Thank you, we will definitely be back!

Overall a great stay and house was very well equipped. Hosts were very helpful and plenty for kids to do in the spacious garden. Highly recommended.

This is my first time renting a temporary house and, based on my wonderful experience, it will not be my last. Our family group consisted of my two adult sons, two daughter-in-laws, two grandchildren (4 years old and 15 months old), my wife and I. The house easily accommodated our group (we did have another adult friend for the first two nights).
The house is in a rural area of Normandy, with an awesome view of the surrounding countryside. We greatly enjoyed the outdoor grounds and the children were enthralled with the swings, trampoline, and toys provided by the hosts. The city of Vire is nearby and provided any provisions or other needs we required. The centralized location provided us easy access to our daily adventures (Saint Malo, Mont St-Michel, Bayeaux, D-Day invasion beaches, American cemetery). The hosts, Sheila and Tony, are a delight. They were never intrusive, but always available to answer our questions and provide insightful information. My one regret is that I did not have enough time to just spend an evening chatting with them. I am not prone to hyperbole; however, their place is an absolute bargain and a somewhat hidden gem. Be assured, as more people discover this place and the graciousness of the hosts, it will become more difficult to book, especially in July and
August. I hope that our family can return some day!

Sheila & Tony were very welcoming and on hand whenever we needed them. We had 6 adults and 3 children under 3 and thought the place was perfect.
Thanks again.
