Guest comments
Thank you! We have had a lovely holiday. The boys loved it. a real home from home. We recommend the house and the area, so much to do, I think we'll be back!
Exactly as described a lovely Normandy cottage lots of room inside with all the facilities you could need, plenty of room outside for the kids and a large patio area.
The location is perfect close to villages for basic supplies but not far from Domfront which has a choice of supermarkets and restaurants a fabulous holiday would strongly recommend to anybody.
Owner profile
About the owner
Although I live in UK I enjoy spending as much time, whenever possible, in the cottage. The local area is steeped in history and has many places of interest not too far away.
Year purchased: 1999
Why the owner chose a home in this location
Having bought La Chapelle as a derelict barn approx 10 years ago it has been completely renovated and transformed into a comfortable, relaxing holiday home.
The rural surroundings make it a wonderful place to unwind, yet you are never far from the many and varied activities and sights of the local area.
