About this property

Cottage with shared swimming pool, hot tub, fishing, tennis, UK TV and Wi-F

Les Epiceas is one of five gîtes on the Les Patis estate that spans eight acres of private gardens. It is a one bedroom stone gîte with an attractive patio area that overlooks the garden and the swimming pool; perfect for early morning breakfast and/or coffee. The bedroom has a double bed with an en-suite bathroom with a shower. The lounge has a sofa bed that can accommodate two small children or one adult; screens are provided for separation and privacy. There is an open plan lounge, kitchen and dining area which includes a flat screen television with UK Freeview TV. The gîte is ideal for a couple, a family with two small children or for an extended family also staying at Les Patis.

Activities at Les Patis include a large and heated communal swimming pool, ( heated 25th May - 14th Sept), with an outdoor hot tub for adults, a tennis court with a basketball ring, table-tennis and bicycles to explore the local area. Fishing on our own private lake will yield large and healthy carp, tench and roach; no license is required. Guests can also take a stroll within the grounds taking in the natural beauty or enjoy a leisurely picnic by the River Vie that borders Les Patis.

The pretty town of Vimoutiers is less than one mile away that has an array of shops and restaurants including a small supermarket. Twice a week the town holds a traditional market were you can sample the delicious local produce. The small village of Camembert, the birthplace of the famous Camembert cheese, is just two miles away and the Graindorge cheese dairy at Livarot is less than six miles. Vimoutiers also boasts to having one of the last remaining Tiger I tanks in France from WWII and the Mont-Ormel memorial, dedicated to the servicemen who gave their lives during the Battle of Falaise, is just a 10-minute drive. Only 30-minutes from Les Patis is the birthplace of William the Conqueror at the Chateau de Falaise and the French National Stud at Haras national du Pin.

Further a-field, the Normandy Beaches of the historical D-Day landings, including other WWII sites, are an easy drive from here. Bayeux with its magnificent hand worked tapestry, majestic Cathedral and many restaurants, is less than one hour away and the charming fishing port of Honfleur, surrounded by first class seafood restaurants, is also very close.

Yet there is plenty to do without even leaving the grounds of Les Patis; the choice is yours. Come and enjoy, relax and unwind in the lovely garden of France.

Lovely getaway
Beautiful property and grounds with lots of sunny spots and shady spots. The pool was beautiful too. We did a couple of day trips out but mostly just chilled out and made use of the pool and table tennis. There was also a tennis court with basket ball hoop but we didn’t use it. Good local supermarkets and we tried the local pizzeria and bakeries - all excellent.

Fantastic Stay
Property is lovely, Tony and Pat are great hosts. Pool is a great spot to chill. Cooking facilities were good for self catering. Vimoutiers is close by, can walk in about 30 mins. No complaints, will be coming to stay again.

A slice of heaven...
Well what can I say our stay was simply lovely. The photos do not capture the magical element of Les Patis. The properties charm was delightful. Tony and Pat are both great hosts and could not do enough for our family to make sure our stay was special. Tony even set up a DVD and TV in the communal room by the pool, for all the children staying in the Gites. Our children loved making friend's and now have pen pals in Hamburg, Dublin, and Wigan. The other friendly families made it just a fab place to be for our holiday. The Gite was comfortable and clean. We very much enjoyed the local area the history and good fairs, local markets. The locals in Vermoutiers were friendly and encouraged our children to try their french. All in all a peaceful 2 week's and lovely memories for our family. Thank you Tony and we will see you both again soon.

Lovely spot shame about the weather
The property, facilities and surroundings were lovely. Plenty to do in the area which was as well, as the weather was awful, meaning we couldn't take advantage of the facilities on offer. The property itself was charming and very comfortable / well equipped
