About this property

Howittgites, La Métairie d’auge, Ecurie, country cottage, private pool

La Petite Ecurie is a pretty two bedroom stone cottage converted from an old stable building to provide accommodation for 4 people plus baby.
The cottage opens onto a courtyard on one side and has a private garden with terrace on the other. La Petite Ecurie is centrally heated and available for rental all year round- ideal for cosy Autumn/Winter breaks.
Guests have exclusive use of the pool (securely fenced, perfect for children) with garden furniture and sun loungers, which has its own south-facing terrace, overlooking the beautiful countryside. The pool is open from late-May to mid-September and is cleaned daily. Beyond the pool area is an enclosed paddock, ideal for ball games.
Bike hire is available locally and we have a range of garden toys and games for children. Games room with pub pool table and dart board. Perfect surroundings countryside for walking.

About the host

Host profile image
We came to live here at La Metairie d'Auge in 2006. The property was previously a farmhouse and outbuildings parts of which date back to 17th century. We have since renovated the old stables to create La Petite Ecurie and have completely renovated the original farmhouse to make our house (across the courtyard from the cottage).

Why they chose this property

An ideal location to get away from the hustle and bustle of life, come and relax at any time of the year. Every season has something unique to offer. Whatever the season you can enjoy your own space in the cosy well-appointed cottage, whilst enjoying the amazing wildlife and beautiful countryside.

What makes this property unique

Peace and quiet.
