About this cottage rental
Maison de LillI is situated in lower Normandy one and half hours drive south of Caen. Get away from it all and simply relax in this tranquil setting surrounded by fields, or take advantage of the many activities and sites to see in the local area. The gite has a spacious feel about it and is divided onto two levels. The ground floor consists of a lounge with wood burner, TV with English and French channels, DVD& CD player, a fully equipped kitchen and bathroom with bath and shower. Wooden stairs lead up to a bedroom which comprises of 5 foot bed with a very comfortable mattress. Additional electric heating throughout. Private driveway and secluded garden with table and chairs for alfresco dining and deck chairs to watch the sun go down. Portable BBQ. You are welcomed with a bottle of red wine and chocolates and homemade jam made from local berries.
There are lovely walks locally as well as great cycling opportunities. In our Village of Barenton, you can follow the disused converted railway line for miles in both directions, stopping for lunch and well earned rest. Walk into Barenton for your fresh baguettes or drive 10- 15 minutes into the local town of Mortain. This town has a large outdoor swimming pool (seasonal). 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. There is so much to do and see in the area such as the famous Normandy beaches, Bayeux tapestry, Domfront, Saint- Malo, Dinan, the Camembert factory, the Abbey and weekly traditional French market at saint-Hilaire, Vide-Graniers/Brocantes markets to pick a bargain. Alternatively, stay in and totally relax, read a book by the cosy wood burner or sunbath in a very private garden. Purchase the most delicious organic chicken eggs locally from our friends neighboring farmers.
If you wish to travel with friends, why not consider it's sister gite Maison de Grace (ref; 6907475) This has a double four poster bed.

Prachtig huisje en omgeving.

Es war eine sehr schöne Zeit in dieser Unterkunft. Zur Begrüßung stand eine leckere Flasche Wein und selbst gemachte Marmelade für uns bereit. Es war ausreichend Brennholz vorhanden um romantische Abende vorm Kamin zu genießen. Wir hatten das Glück ein paar sonnige Tage im Garten bei beeindruckender Stille erleben zu dürfen! Mit dem Auto sind verschiedene Ausflugsziele innerhalb einer Stunde erreichbar. Das absolute Highlight war Mont-Saint-Michel. Diese sollte man besser in der Woche besuchen und die Tickets für die Abtei bucht man auch besser im vorraus. Der Kontakt zur Vermieterin Karen war sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Eine echte Empfehlung.

Le gite est très agréable, on s'y sent bien, il est situé dans une très jolie campagne.

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.
