A holiday rental home, ideally situated for discovering Lower Normandy. The house is in Le Petit Celland, a pretty village full of history, not far from Mont St. Michel, the sea, many tourist sites and attractions, sport and activities.
If you want to rent a home in the heart of the Normandy countryside for your holidays, you have come to the right place! We think that the views from our house are hard to beat, as well as the facilities! Judge for yourself; here are some key points:
° Detached house
° Breathtaking views
° Privacy: no "on-site" owners
° 3 large double bedrooms
° Spacious kitchen/lounge
° Downstairs shower/wc
° Upstairs bathroom/wc
° Exclusive use of large garden
The house has all modern facilities, despite being situated in the heart of the Normandy countryside. The lounge/kitchen is spacious, with beamed ceiling and wooden flooring. The room is purpose designed and does not, unlike many gites, have to double as a sleeping area. So it is possible to watch television when others have gone to bed. There is both French television (useful for watching the weather forecast!) and many English channels (via satellite). In addition there is a DVD for your use.
The windows are double glazed, with shutters for use if you like a dark bedroom! There are electric heating convectors (wall mounted, with heat level thermostats) for the cold seasons.
There is one bedroom downstairs, with shower/toilet adjacent, so if anyone in your group is older or less mobile, it is very convenient. There is a feature spiral staircase leading from that bedroom to another upstairs, which is especially light and spacious. There you will a sound centre for your audio cassettes or CDs.
If greater privacy is required, there is a third double bedroom in the room above the lounge, which is accessed via an open tread straight staircase. There is a bathroom/toilet adjacent.
The village has a pretty church and a bar run by English owners. There is a small lake in one direction and a forest and small river in another. The famous GR22 walking route passes near the village. Just north of the village there are the historical "Three Crosses" (Trois Croix), with a picnic area and a view that defies words!
In summer there is an outside swimming pool at nearby Brecey. There is a market there on Friday mornings. There are a fair range of shops there, also restaurants, cafes, and a "Super U" supermarket.
For bigger shopping, the town of Avranches offers almost everything you could want, including three large supermarkets. There is an excellent tourist centre there, too, as well as a Saturday market, lots of restaurants, and the famous "Jardin des Plantes" (park) with a view of Mont St. Michel.
NEW!! A 6 hole golf course has recently opened locally (10 minutes drive away). Being new, it is not crowded. At the same place, there is an excellent equestrian centre, ideal for children learning to ride.

The Normandy countryside is much loved by holidaymakers, because it reminds them of what the countryside used to look like decades ago in other countries, prior to urban sprawl! Mile after mile of rolling fields, with hedgerows, beautiful trees and lots of animals. The area offers not just breathtaking views, but also a peaceful setting, ideal for relaxing, walking, cycling or exploring in the car.
The local cafes and restaurants offer wonderful food at really low prices . The sea is only a fairly short drive away, with sandy beaches. |
