About this property

A 2 bedroom, 4 person cosy country cottage for holiday let.

La Vieille Longère is an ancient Norman long-house, dating back to the early 1600's, situated in a tranquil hamlet of three stone- built houses.

The Gite forms part of the long-house and is the most recent addition, dating from about 1770 and was used as a 'Maison du Tisserand' where traditional lace was once made.

Located in the heart of what is known as La Suisse Normande, La Vieille Longère provides high quality accommodation from which to base your holiday in this beautiful part of France

Restored by the Owners in 2011, the Gite offers cosy and beautifully decorated accommodation for four people in two bedrooms, one a large double with exposed beams, the other a twin room, both sharing a bathroom equipped with a powerful shower.

The rooms are all centrally heated in colder weather but there is a stunning Esse Ironheart woodburning stove with an oven and hotplates for those who wish to use it.

Idéal pour une escapade dans la nature

Des hotes aimables et discret. Situé en pleine nature avec des vus magnifiques. De bons lits et un équipement simple, mais tout y est! Nous avons passé une semaine très reposante. Merci Lesley et Nick Betty & Alexander

Zwei sehr schöne Wochen in der normannischen Schweiz

Das Ferienhaus entspricht vollständig der Beschreibung. Sehr ruhig am Ortsrand an einer weitgehend unbefahrenen Straße gelegen. Der Garten ist sehr schön, mit Essplatz, Liegestühlen und Spielwiese (z.B. Badminton). Die Gegend rund um das Haus bietet Gelegenheit für schöne Radausflüge, allerdings erfordern die Höhenunterschiede im Gelände einige Kondition. Die Holwege zwischen den Feldern sind sehr eindrucksvoll und können als Singletrails mit dem Fahrrad (am besten Mountenbike) durchfahren oder zu Fuß durchwandert werden. Einige Sehenswürdigkeiten sind in der Nähe erreichbar (Falaise (Burg & Stadt), Chateau Canon (Garten), Carrouge (Wasserschloss)). Die Küstenorte sind relativ weit weg. Die Vermieter sind sehr nett und hilfsbereit. Wir konnten frischen Salat und Eier direkt von den Vermietern kaufen. Insgesamt zwei sehr schöne Ferienwochen.

Ein wunderschöner Ort

Ein großartiger Ort, sich zu erholen und das Leben zu genießen. Das Haus ist außerordentlich schön gelegen und ebenso liebevoll eingerichtet; dazu ein herrlicher Garten. Abgerundet wird das Ganze durch die herzlichen und nie um einen Tipp verlegenen Gastgeber, wenn es darum geht, schöne Orte, gutes Essen und die kleinen oder großen Geschichten in der Normandie zu entdecken und zu erfahren. Gerne kommen wir wieder.

Cosy Cottage

We had a great stay in this lovely cottage near Segrie-Fontaine. Everything was tip top in order and Nick and Leslie made us feel very welcome. It’s also a great starting point for hiking in the area.
