About the host

Welcome to Orchard Gites here in beautiful Lower Normandy. I am delighted to be able to share a taste of the French lifestyle with you and feel sure you will fall in love with the peace and tranquility just as I have done. I had always wanted to combine my love of a rural lifestyle and my passion for Art and I was able to fulfil that dream when I came upon this lovely farmhouse on the border of Orne and Calvados.

Why they chose this property

I decided that this was the place for me after viewing only three other properties! This lovely, old stone farmhouse offered everything I was looking for. The property had been renovated 20 years previously and had been run as a gite business ever since, so it was already well established in the area. I love the fact that the coast is only an hour away and yet the gites are tucked away in the rolling Normandy countryside so it offers the best of both worlds for holidaymakers. Visitors always comment on how peaceful it is however, the gites are very accessible and not at all difficult to get to. I think most people are surprised at how much there is to do locally. I keep in touch with my local tourist offices and am able to help guests really make the most of their time here.

What makes this property unique

The garden here has proven to be a delight; from the appearance of violets, daffodils and primroses in early Spring followed by the apple blossom in May. There is abundance of flowers, fruit and vegetables throughout the season. It is wonderful to offer guests fresh fruit and vegetables as well as home-made jams and preserves!
The garden and surrounding countryside provide inspiration for the Art Courses I run in the summer.
Guests can develop their artistic skills in a pleasant and relaxed atmosphere. This lovely location is ideal for anyone wishing to focus on a creative interest such as painting, photography or writing. The gites really are perfect for guests wishing to take some time out from the busy pace of everyday life and to experience a little peace and tranquility.
