Description from owner
Description
Le Pressoir is a detached cottage with rustic charm. You will know that you are in the heart of the country when you wake up to the sound of birdsong and you look out over the orchard to the rolling fields beyond. Suitable for a couple or for a family this gite has a mezzanine bedroom with a double bed and a single bed. It also has a twin bedroom. The downstairs living area is bright and airy with comfortable seating. Our gites are set in an acre of attractive grounds with an abundance of flowers and fruit. Le Pressoir has it's own private garden area where you can sit out and relax and there are picnic tables where you can enjoy a meal and a glass of local cider. The orchard is a haven for a wide variety of birds in the Spring so bring your binoculars. If you like al fresco cooking there is a barbeque is available for you to use. We have a productive vegetable garden and delicious fresh produce in season is available for guests to buy.
There are pleasant country walks right on our doorstep or you may prefer to borrow a bicycle to explore the quiet country lanes.

Response from the owner Thank you for taking the time to review Le Pressoir Don. It was nice to meet you all. You mentioned our nearby village of Saint Quentin les Chardonnets, which is actually a little over a km away. It is a pretty little village but it's true that you need to visit the nearby town of Tinchebray , which is 4.5 km from Orchard Gites, for local services / shops etc. If you plan to visit all the local tourist destinations such as Mont St Michel, the D-Day beaches you definitely need a car. However some guests have arrived by train from Paris and I have been able to collect them from Vire station and they have spent their stay exploring the local area on foot or have borrowed our bicycles. An option which can be considered.

Response from the owner Thank you for your lovely review. I am so glad that you enjoyed your stay here with your dogs. There are lots of lovely walks close to the gites and and the orchard is a nice area for doggy ball games. As you have mentioned, there are plenty of interesting places to visit that are easily accessible from Orchard Gites but equally, it is a lovely spot to just spend time and relax(preferably with a glass of local cider!).

Response from the owner Thank you for your great review. I really enjoyed the 'arty' morning spent painting with your children. It was such a beautiful October day and the colours were lovely. The children produced some lovely paintings and should be very proud of their efforts. I look forward to seeing you all again next yea.

Response from the owner The 'bocage' countryside surrounding Orchard Gites is very pretty. There are lots of walks in the area with lovely views that unfold as you turn each corner! I'm so pleased that you had a relaxing stay here - it is the perfect place to 'get away from it all'!
