Description from owner
Description
La Chouette is part of an original farmhouse and barn built in the early 1800s in rolling French countryside. Set in 3.5 acres, there is a large garden with terrace, patio furniture and barbecue for you to enjoy. It is located midway between Bagnoles de l'Orne and Lassay-les-Chateaux, both about 8 miles away. Bagnoles is a well known French spa town famous for its waters and healing properties and there is an excellent selection of restaurants in the town. Lassay is known for its chateaux and also has a delightful rose garden. The picturesque medieval town of Domfront with its chateau and church of St. Julien is 17 miles away. Though all amenities are nearby, our location is very tranquil and you can feel the peace and quiet envelop you. The village of Madré is 2km from Le Cerisier and has a butcher's shop, post office and small bar. There are excellent restaurants in the villages nearby which serve fixed price lunches including cider and wine.
La Chouette is a 2 person cottage with all you will require for a comfortable romantic holiday.
The front door opens into the living room with separate kitchen diner located off the living room area.
The living room has comfortable seating, English satellite TV along with DVD. There are patio doors leading to the terrace and open garden with BBQ.
The dining kitchen has dining table, chairs and all required cutlery and crockery. The kitchen includes gas cooker, fridge with freezer section, coffee maker, electric kettle, microwave, toaster, and iron.

The bathroom is en suite and has WC, wash handbasin and shower.
All bed linen and towels are included in the rental rate.

Outside:
The garden outside the gites is just under an acre so there is plenty of room to spread yourselves out. Garden and patio furniture along with barbecues are available.
There are a further 2.5 acres beyond the garden which is given over to a playing field - ideal for energetic youngsters - and a newly planted orchard which we are developing. You are more than welcome to sample the apples, pears and plums when in season.
The swimming pool is around 1 metre deep and close to the terraces so you can keep an eye on your children while enjoying a glass of wine, cooking the barbecue or just relaxing.

“Perfect holiday retreat in rural France”

Response from the owner Thank you both for a great review. So glad that it met and maybe exceeded your expectations. We too find the cycling and walking around here very appealing, one of the reasons we chose to move here and it helps build up a healthy appetite for the great range of restaurants nearby. If you do come again next year we very much look forward to seeing you as we really enjoyed your company.

“A gem of a holiday retreat in an undiscovered area.”
My wife and I stayed in 'Meadow View' in October for a week. We had a delightful time enjoying the cosiness of the gite and the wonderful hospitality of the owners Yvette and George. The gite itself had everything we needed for a very comfortable stay - the well equipped kitchen, spacious lounge and the bathroom with a brand new shower (most welcome after a long day's cycling). Yvette and George couldn't do enough for us - they made very helpful suggestions on places to visit (whatever the weather) and fantastic places to eat. They told us about good routes for cycling, local walks and nearby places of interest such as the cider museum in nearby Lassay and the motor museum in Le Mans. One of their recommendations was the restaurant 'Au Saint-Aignan' which was an easy 30 minute cycle ride from the gite along quiet country lanes. We had a fantastic lunch from the prix fixe menu (10.50 euros) including wine. All the desserts are made by Thierry and are really delicious! Another great suggestion we tried for a relaxing Sunday lunch was La Potiniere du lac in Bagnoles de l'Orne. Bagnoles de l'Orne (a spa town) is a great place for wandering around following a meal and picking up some gifts to take home. The gite is in a really undiscovered part of France and if you want peace and tranquillity, good food and wonderful scenery, it is hard to beat in our experience. The gite is in a beautiful setting with lots of space and views over green, rolling countryside to nearby villages. We had a special experience on one of our walks where we looked into an old derelict barn and were greeted by an enormous barn owl swooping down from the rafters! Again, it was Yvette and George who said that we might find the owl there. We will definitely be returning to this gem of a holiday retreat to discover yet more of this wonderful place.

Response from the owner Many thanks for a lovely review and we were really pleased you enjoyed the newly equipped gite. It was great to meet you both and like many of our guests, you just don't have time to fit in all the things you want to do around here. Hopefully we will see you back again to continue exploring and relaxing.

“A perfect getaway from the stress of the city”
We where looking for an escape from the city and we couldn't have found a more perfect location than Le Maison Neuve. It took us just over four hours drive from Calais, however the French autoroutes put the British motorways to shame and the drive was a pleasure through beautiful countryside with no hold ups (or roadworks!). On arrival we where met by George and Yvette, a lovely couple who have recently taken over the set of three gites. We rented the smallest one bedroom property, however we had more space than we needed with a large ensuite double bedroom upstairs, good sized lounge and very well equipped kitchen, all of which was immaculate on arrival. We have stayed in far more expensive hotels that would not come close to the quality that we found here. The gites all share a pool and communal garden area, and if you take kids there is a playing field with goalposts and badminton/volleyball net located adjacent to this. There is also a selection of bikes available to borrow for exploring the surrounding area. Our top finds where Bagnolle d'Orne which is a lovely town, we had a fantastic evening meal by the lake there. We also discovered the velo rail in another town, which is basically bikes on railway lines. Very bizarre but we had a hilarious couple of hours clunking our way through the french country side. One other little find was the eco musee. Which is just outside Madre and about 15 mins ride on a bike from the gite, a couple of euros each had us entralled by our French guide , he spoke a little English, and with our little French he took us around a traditional French farm that has been preserved. Fascinating stuff and a free french lesson thrown in. Overall , this was a very affordable trip with lots of little surprises to be discovered. We will definitely return.
