About this house rental
Welcome to rural Calvados,France. It is beautifully peaceful and a great place to relax and unwind with only cows and birds for distraction. Enjoy our Owls, Hawks, Bats and birds. We can be flexible about most things so please send a message with any specific requests! Food can be arranged for your arrival, breakfast or a fridge full of supplies, so please contact us for details.
The house is bright and airy with lots of space for a family get together, friends and kids to explore. The above ground pool is available for all bookings between May and 1st September. It is not heated.
We live in the barn adjoining the house but will only be seen if you need us! Your space is private and we respect that, however we are always on hand if you need us.
The pretty market town of Vire is a 15 minute drive away where you will find the closest supermarkets, boulangerie, patisserie, bars and cafes, all surrounding the beautiful castle remains. Market day is Friday and you'll find all sorts of lovely food and bargains here. There are also some lovely cafes to sit and watch the world go by. There is a swimming pool in Vire, Flers and Conde sur Noireau with water slides and a family pool-all very well priced. You will also find a municipal golf course and the stunning Lac Dathee just outside of Vire too. The D day landing beaches and coastal resorts such as Granville, Houlgate and Carrells (amazing rock pooling for kids) are all an hours drive away. The Bayeux Tapestry, Mont Saint Michael and the British War Cemetery are also within an hour’s drive. If you want to explore beautiful scenery then the area of Suisse Normand and Bagnoles de Lorne are both within an hours drive. Mont Cerissy Belle Etoille is 15 minutes away and great fun for kids - a park set around castle ruins it has beautiful woodland walks and view points with stunning scenery of Normandy. Take a picnic!
You can have lunch on the river in Pont D'ouilly 40 minutes away. Viaduc de Souleuvre is only half an hour away offering beautiful scenery and adrenaline activities like bungy and forest swings! The Zoo de Jurques is amazing set within a forest and is a great family day out.
A car is essential for food shopping and exploring unless you're here for the local cycling routes!
There is secure storage for bicycles and motorbikes and plenty of parking for you all.

We had a wonderful week at Natalie and Dan’s holiday home. They are warm and attentive hosts – after our long journey, we were welcomed so kindly and felt at home from the very first moment.The house was spotlessly clean – probably the cleanest accommodation we’ve ever stayed in – and it truly had everything one could need for a relaxing holiday. The location, right in the middle of nature, immediately brings a sense of peace and escape from everyday life.For our children, the house was a little paradise: there was plenty of toys and, of course, the pool, which provided lots of fun and variety.The surrounding area also has a lot to offer. There are many beautiful places to explore, and we simply didn’t have time to see them all during our one-week stay. Fortunately, Natalie and Dan were always ready with great recommendations and were helpful whenever we needed anything.We would have loved to stay longer and can wholeheartedly recommend this holiday home. Thank you for everything – we’d love to come back!

What a fantastic place. It was so peaceful in the middle of the beautiful Calvados countryside. Near enough to local town (Tinchebray) to pick up the day’s pastries and bread. An hour and a bit from the coast but the drives were a pleasure on quiet, well kept roads. Closer in is Vire and the gorges, as well as the excellent Zoo des Jurques. Our excellent hosts Natalie and Dan were so welcoming and helpful, though they had the place so well set up and so comfortable and clean that we really didn’t have to ask for anything. Perfect family holiday. Highly recommended.
