About this property

RENOVATED 18C TRADITIONALLY FURNISHED FARMHOUSE IN PEACEFUL & RELAXING GARDENS

Our circa 18th century restored farmhouse is in a dream location, we are in between Mont Saint Michel, Bayeux and the D Day landing beaches.The birth place of William the Conquerer is the Chateau of Falaise, which is a short scenic journey.We are just 50 minutes from Caen ferry port, and between Conde sur Noireau and Vire, the old fortress town. The house is surrounded by large gardens, fields and pastures, overlooking the hills of Swiss Normandy. The lounge has large windows and doors overlooking the surrounding gardens. The terrace is an ideal place to relax with the smell of lavender and the birds singing and bees buzzing in the spring and summer. In the autumn and winter the lounge is cosy with the wood burning stove. The location is perfect for visiting the many diverse historical and natural sites in Lower Normandy. Although keeping a traditional appearance, the house has wifi and a modern oak fitted kitchen. We have French TV in two of the bedrooms and a British TV in the lounge with a DVD player and many channels.We have traditional looking Fire doors to all bedrooms. We also have high chairs and a travel cot for a smaller child.

Great place to stay, perfect for everybody...
Patrick's home is a renovated farmhouse that has been lovingly restored. It has three good-sized bedrooms, all with a double bed and ensuite bathroom. There is also a separate bathroom downstairs. However impressed you may be by the pictures, they don't do the house full justice and it is even more beautiful when you arrive. There is also a large garden, with outdoor eating space. Absolute peace and quiet are very much the order of the day, but if you feel the need for noise then there is nobody within earshot to care. The house also has a log fire for those cold nights and a TV room with one of the largest TVs I've seen. Location-wise, this is the perfect place to stay to visit just about anywhere on the peninsula, with just about everywhere between a 60-90 minute drive. The owner, Patrick, lives locally and is one of the nicest people you could wish to meet. We found Patrick to be very helpful, accommodating, and great for a general chat on the couple of times he popped by to check if we were cold and wanted instructions on using the log fire, or to deliver the very much appreciated gift of ice creams - all this on top of the bottle of wine and ice cream left for our arrival. If we come back to Normandy we would definitely want to stay in Patrick's wonderful home again, and we would recommend to anyone else to do likewise when in the region - you won't regret it.

About the host

Hosted by Patrick Williams

Host profile image
We have spent the last ten years turning this old farmhouse into a comfortable home for ourselves and guests to enjoy. Gardening is one of our main pastimes, especially in the summer when we can cultivate our own fruit and vegetables.

In our spare time, we enjoy the local food and wines whilst playing a game of boules in the garden. Calvados is an ideal location for us to visit both historical sites and the many beaches without having to drive too far although, I must say, the French roads are a pleasure to drive on.

Why they chose this property

We fell in love with the house - a ruin at the time - due to its being surrounded by fields and beautiful countryside. The peacefulness and tranquility is a boost for the senses - if you need to de-stress it is the ideal place to relax your pace of life. Listen to the birds and smell the fragrance of the lavender in the summer.
There are many places to walk or drive if you are interested in nature. On the edge of la Suisse Normande we have a unique area to explore, with rivers, historic towns and villages.

What makes this property unique

Fresh countryside air with space to relax, enjoy time with family and friends, sit and listen to the sounds of birds and bees. Clear nights are amazing for star gazers. No light pollution here! We are close to three swimming pools and local rivers for various boating activities for hire. Swiss Normandy has some lovely Restaurants and Picnic areas along the river banks.We have a vising barn owl and sometimes see deer in the fields. They seem to enjoy our pears more often than us!!
