Three self catering country cottages available for holiday rentals in Normandy, France.
The properties are situated in the beautiful countryside of Southern Orne, Normandy. This area has many cultural and historical places of interest. Medieval towns, chateaux, local markets are close by, as well as opportunities for many outdoor activities.
The cottages are located in the Normandy Maine Regional Park, which is noted for its forests and bocage countryside - small fields, woods, hedgerows and orchards.
Le Boisgontier is situated in a small hamlet in the countryside south of Domfront, with the department of Mayenne only 3km to the south. Its location offers easy access to a variety of outdoor activities in the area, as well as being close to a number of pretty villages and historic towns.
L’Etre Bidault lies on the edge of the Foret d'Andaines, which stretches for over ten miles and is full of wildlife including red squirrels and red deer. There are miles of walks and forest tracks, ideal for cycling. The nearby Orne and Mayenne rivers provide plenty of fishing and canoeing opportunities.
La Noe is set in a small hamlet in peaceful countryside, 4kms from the market town of Ranes. Impressive chateaux, typical Normandy villages and lakes are nearby. An ideal base for horseriding and fishing.
Our cottages offer visitors a higher level of comfort than is found in most gites. You will be able to enjoy independent, spacious and well equipped accommodation in our properties.

Pet friendly accommodation
We are happy to welcome pets to our cottages. Since the introduction of the Pet Passport scheme, we have seen a yearly increase in the number of clients bringing their pets on holiday to France with them. Our cottages, being situated in rural locations, close to forests and countryside offer easy access to interesting and varied walks for dog owners.
Apart from welcoming pets for one or two week holidays, we have also had dog guests for longer term rentals over winter. The cottages have also been popular with dog owners relocating to the UK from outside Europe, who have wanted to avoid quarantine by spending time in France with their pets instead.

We offer a pet sitting service for holiday makers and for clients looking for longer term temporary care for their pets during relocation. Please contact us for more details.
