Description
Forming part of a restored 'longere' farmhouse, La Cidreraie is the perfect gite for a couple or single guests and is the ideal base for your holiday in Normandy. Nestling in the delightful countryside between Vire and Flers, La Cidreraie is situated in a very pretty, rural location where you can relax and unwind yet it is within easy reach of popular tourist destinations such as Mont St Michel and the D-Day Beaches.
La Cidreraie has a pleasant airy, beamed kitchen/lounge area with French windows looking out onto a spacious lawn planted with a variety of fruit trees.
The kitchen is equipped with gas stove, microwave, kettle, iron and all necessary utensils.
Wooden stairs lead up to the charming, mezzanine bedroom with a comfortable double bed with a pretty, vintage iron bedframe. There is an en-suite shower and toilet.
Sit out and enjoy the sun on the sheltered, south-facing patio area. If you like al fresco cooking there is a barbeque is available for you to use.
Available throughout the year this gite is ideal if you are planning a short break away or if you want to spend a longer time exploring this picturesque area.
La Cidreraie is very popular with guests who are house hunting locally, many of whom have been successful in finding their own rural retreat in the area.
