Une petite maison de charme dans un cadre rural tranquille 4couchages2 chambres.

An excellent little house, authentic in every way. Our hosts were really friendly and helpful. Information on the house and the surrounding areas was first class. Enjoyed our eight days in the sun.

My husband, son and I had a wonderful stay at Paula and Nigel's. Ours was the Le Fournil cottage (there is a second cottage nearby, but everyone has their privacy; and a third which is tucked away further up the road, plus the main house). The cottage itself was simple but contained everything we needed, was squeaky clean and pleasant. The grounds outside are absolutely stunning, with loads of space to run around for children. The area is very tranquil, with nearby villages to explore, farms selling local produce and especially apple juice, cider and calvados, the specialties of this region, and an interesting horse show taking place in a local farm (check out La Michaudiere). The hosts Paula and Nigel went above and beyond, always helpful with advice and things to do; they live in the main house but make themselves effortlessly available when needed or otherwise leave their guests to it. Our toddler is absolutely fascinated with tractors, and Nigel was kind enough to let him ride with him on his mini tractor around the property. It was an incredibly nice thing to do and my son was ecstatic and still mentions his memorable ride to this day! I wholeheartedly recommend Le Fournil!

As soon as we arrived we knew we had chosen we’ll, Nigel Paula welcomed us and introduced us to our beautiful cottage. It was gorgeous, had everything we needed and in the heat was lovely and cool. We spent the hot days just chilling in the most fantastic gardens watching a huge variety of birds,butterflies, and the odd coypu. The surrounding area is full of so many historical castles, churches and delightful very reasonably priced restaurants. We couldn’t have asked for better hosts, a better cottage or a better area . We will definitely return to explore further and eat more!!

Le Haut Fresnay est un lieu idéal pour se ressourcer après une année trépidante. Le parc est très agréable et les gîtes sont aménagés avec beaucoup de goût: l'âme normande a su être conservée et embellie par le charme anglais. Les propriétaires sont des hôtes discrets et très attentionnés qui vous aideront à découvrir les multiples facettes de cette belle région.

Le Fournil is in quiet rural location, possibly remote by some standards, and offers everything you need for a relaxed break. The most curious internal feature is the old bread oven. Your hosts have an extensive local knowledge and are wonderfully helpful and thoughtful. Help was on hand to sort out both a flat tyre on our car and to track down somewhere that we could buy new pedals for one of our bikes! Not your average holiday mishap. The local town of Ceaucé is charming and has the most wonderful boulangerie from where breakfast croissants can be had. Further afield is the medieval town of Domfront where we were fortunate enough to enjoy a medieval fair, with knights on horseback parading through the town and archery stands where would be archers could try their skill. Further afield you can strike out for the coast at Mont St Michel should you wish to, though it is a full day trip. As would be heading further in land to the museum at Le Mans. There is plenty to do in and around the region and Le Fournil offers the ideal base for exploring Basse Normandie.

We had a lovely weeks stay at Le Fournil. Both Nigel and Paul were excellent hosts and had a very good knowledge of the local area. The gite was beautifully decorated and comfortable and the gardens were immaculate. My daughter Charlotte was particularly impressed and fascinated with the bug house. Thank you for a lovely week.

Once again we had a most enjoyable and relaxing time at Le Haut Fresnay and it was especially nice to renew our acqaintance with Le Fournil - it is our favourite of the 3 cottages. As always, everything was well prepared, beautifully presented and in excellent order and we were made to feel most welcome by Nigel Paula. We'd recommend it highly to anyone seeking a complete "get away". Our favourite nearby place for eating out is Bagnoles and their are several really good restaurants there. We also had a great Sunday lunch at l'Auberge du Grand Gousier restaurant in Domfront. We'll be back!
