Wonderful relaxing break in the countryside

We stayed at this property for our annual family holiday. There were 14 of us aged 4 to 74. We wanted for nothing! The thoughful and kind hosts felt more like family than landlords, without ever invading our space. The location was great and we look forward to a return visit .

Plenty of room to roam

We stayed at La Grand Metairie to celebrate a birthday and had a cracking time despite the changeable weather. The property has plenty of space for a bigger party and lots of activities to keep even the teens away from screens. Unlike a lot of properties, this one is very well equipped - you won’t run out of pots, pans and crockery! And even if you wish to cook the most obscure dishes, the equipment is there. The hosts were very welcoming and helped whenever we had a query. The location is remote, but the bakery was a short drive away and we made lovely day trips to nearby towns, Mont Saint-Michel and San Malo. Having good internet provided was crucial as mobile network was a bit patchy. All and all we had a delightful week in Fuegerolles-du-Plessis.

Stunning Stone built Holiday Gite

What a beautiful place to stay. Spotless large house with 7 beautiful bedrooms plus 5 bathrooms. We were just a small party but it is just perfect for big family holidays, large well furnished lounge with huge log burner, 3 big very sofa's. A great big party room, with wood burner table tennis darts & a piano. Not 1 but 2 kitchens both with dishwashers, laundry room. every thing needed for great holiday, we spent 3 weeks & sad to leave this wonderful home from home. lovely big garden lots of parking & a real plus, a very safe for children also dogs, gate's are shut & garden all fenced. The local village has excellent supermarket plus bars. I loved the high quality cookware & nothing like eating off Royal Worcester. Piping hot water & great showers. We were the first people to stay & will will be back. We have rented many gites & holiday homes in the past but never anything up to the high standard of La Grand Metairie. In spite of the weather we could not have had a better holiday Our hosts Annie & Jon could not do enough & know the area well & were able to suggest so many places to visit. We wish them well with this ;ove;y Gite.

Fijn familiehuis met grote tuin

We hadden heerlijk de ruimte. Wel ontzettend veel spullen in huis, alles stond vol. De slaapkamers hebben wel veel kastruimte. Met twee woonkamers en twee keukens voor elk wat wils. Prima voor twee weken. De eigenaren waren heel vriendelijk en behulpzaam. De bedden waren opgemaakt en handdoeken beschikbaar. Ze wassen de handdoeken en beddengoed voor je als je dat wilt. Voor uitstapjes moesten we wel vaak 1 tot 2 uur rijden. De stad Fougerolles is de moeite waard, evenals een wandeling bij Fosse d'Arthour. Verder de steden en stranden bij de kust. Mont St. Michel; Saint-Malo, Rennes en bv Omaha Beach zijn prachtig. Een dagje bij het huis blijven is ook geen straf. Met het zwembad, tafeltennis- en voetbaltafel hoeft niemand zich te vervelen.

About the host

Hosted by ANNE PARKER-WALKER

Host profile image
We bought the house in 2015 and have gradually renovated it while living in it. It is our much loved home when it is not rented out as a holiday house. We hope this is reflected in the comfort and character of the house.

Why they chose this property

The house is big and private so is ideal for large gatherings and family get togethers. It is is well equipped throughout but especially in the kitchen and has plenty of (5) bathrooms. The gardens are animal friendly and secure. From our own experience in the past houses like this are not easy to find in France which is one of the reasons we wanted to do this.
