Enjoyable rest

The house (it was obviously a converted barn, but once inside it had all the appearance internally of a house) was as described, ideally situated in a quiet part of the country, isolated from traffic, but near a nice little village. Beautifully decorated and equipped with everything you might need, it was the ideal place for us to rest and unwind, and we appreciate the opportunity. Thank you.

Sourdeval

We had a very pleasant stay , the gite was beautiful, however some things were not very practical , the screens and nets in the bedrooms, the wet room style bathrooms and a couple of more pillows would make the beds more comfortable.

Really enjoyable short stay.

The barn is real luxury, with everything you could possibly wish for. It's situated in lovely quiet rural area, but also near enough to drive to Sourdeval town. Mont-Saint-Michel and St Malo are both great places to visit and only an hours drive away. Had a truly enjoyable stay at the barn and would recommend it to anyone.

maison charmante pour amateur de nature

Nous avons passé un séjour au calme dans cette agréable maison très bien équipée. Décorée avec soin et fonctionnelle, nous avons pu profiter du calme et de la nature dans cette belle demeure et visiter la Normandie vallonnée. Un havre de repos qui nous a fait le plus grand bien. Merci aux hôtes pour leur confiance.

Maison de charme au calme superbement équipée et joliment décorée

Nous avons passé un agréable séjour dans cette maison duplex où rien ne manque. Nous avons apprécié le poêle à feu de bois l’agréable séjour et la cuisine très bien équipé. Le lieu est propice au repos mais aussi aux visites de la Normandie. Nous avons pu aller au Mont-Saint-Michel et revenir par la ville de Caen et Ouistreham. Une belle escapade nature qui fait du bien pendant cette période particulière à cause du Covid. Merci à nos hôtes qui font toute confiance aux locataires. À recommander.

Very nice cottage in beautiful location

We very much enjoyed our stay in the cottage. It is very spacious and nicely decorated. The town nearby is really nice and has all shops one needs during a shorter stay. It is a little far from the coast but that is the only downside.

Beautiful but a bit Remote

My wife and I, both in our mid 70's, visited in early August for a week. The barn is more well renovated and decorated than it's pictures credit. The location was ideal for our plans to visit both Normandy and Brittany, and we enjoyed both Sourdeval and Portain. Our only issues were difficulties with a late arrival well after dark and the barn's remote location.

Relaxing Break

The Barn is a beautiful place to stay for a relaxing stay in a quiet and rural location. The property has been renovated to a really high standard and as we were two couples the two en-suite bedrooms were perfect. Ideal location for visiting the D day beaches, Mont St Michel and many more. A visit to the bell foundery at Villedieu les Poeles was very interesting. Plenty of good restaurants around. L'Abbaye at Neufbourg was excellent

Great stay in a well equipped gite

We booked this based on the reviews and we were not disappointed. The barn is very well presented and has all the amenities you can want. As we were a couple we only used one bedroom/ bathroom so can’t comment on second bedroom/bathroom. As we were staying over New Year we had an additional payment for the heating which worked well and kept the place very comfortable. The barn itself is situated just outside of Sourdeval and only minutes from Mortain for the larger supermarket if needed. Suzanne the owner was always quick to respond to the booking request and other questions and kept us up to date as we neared the holiday dates. Unfortunately as we arrived we were informed that there was a line fault with the telephone/internet and so we were without these for a couple of days while the providing company rectified the issue. Nothing the owner could have done but we were grateful for the updates. The barn was spotless and everything was in working order. Lovely hot shower with good water pressure, good oven and hob, dishwasher, large screen tv with UK freeview etc. The barn is within a small hamlet of around 6 other houses and was incredibly peaceful. We wanted a relaxing and quiet break after the busy Christmas and we certainly got it. One of the best places we have stayed in.

Beautiful holiday home in idyllic surroundings

We have recently spent a week at the Barn and can state that all previous reviews are entirely accurate. The property is luxurious and so much attention paid to detail. Whilst we ate out on a number of occasions we also enjoyed barbecues and cooking in the well appointed kitchen. The gardens and patio are so peaceful and you are surrounded by nature . We regularly saw deer only a short distance from the barn. Suzanne is so helpful and ensured that any queries were promptly answered, thank you again Suzanne.

Lovely barn with everything you need for very comfortable stay in a beautiful rural location.

Found the barn easily and everything as described or even better. There is plenty of outside space and you can move around for sun or shade as required and we ate outside for almost every meal. Local towns good for shopping with plenty of patisseries. We found going south best for quiet and rural countryside with some lovely villages and small towns such as Lassay de Chateau. Granville and Averanches very busy. The Moulin restuarant at Brioude was good and has a pleasant river walk too. A great holiday!

A very attractive property in a quiet country location, fully equipped and tastefully furnished.

We spent a most enjoyable 4 weeks at the Apple Barn during May 2018. The property has been renovated to a very high standard and is equipped with all the appliances necessary for a comfortable stay. The standard of decoration and furnishings are to an equally high standard. The house is located in a quiet setting in the heart of the Normandy countryside, yet is reasonably close to the facilities available in Sourdeval, Mortain and Vire and the major attractions including the DDay beaches and museums, the Mont St Michel and many others are within an hours car journey. The area is spoiled with choices of good restaurants, ranging from local gourmand cuisine to more basic, yet interesting, food. We played golf on several courses in the area and would particularly recommend Golf de la Dathee, near Vire. This course presents a real challenge, without being too long, and the scenery adjacent to the lake is really beautiful. Although we did not take advantage of it, there are many rural walkways and cycle routes to hand and the sites of historic interest are well presented and are readily accessible. We were sorry to leave and would unreservedly recommend this property to prospective visitors.

A truly luxury property in a beautiful setting

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this stunning property. Just rural enough to be peaceful, but not far from the local towns and restaurants. The property has been renovated to the highest standard, quality fittings used. Each bedroom having its own en-suite is a big advantage, and the log burner was very efficient. All in all, a great property. Not the cheapest, but worth every extra penny to enjoy luxury. Well done, Suzanne, for creating a stunning property.

About the host

Hosted by Suzanne Crown

We are offering our luxury home in France as a special place to stay and take in and experience some of what Normandy has to offer. The property was bought in 2006 and after many years of renovations and hard work, has been lovingly restored to provide a high level of comfort and design.
The Barn is a great escape from the daily rat race ... and is a place filled with calm and tranquility.
It has been enjoyed by Honeymoon couples and those wanting a special place to stay.
We enjoy our own time in France, and are always planning the next project!

Why they chose this property

We love the area, it is close enough to the ports and airport to make travelling there easy, yet it is in an unspoiled and tranquil location.
The surrounding countryside is beautiful, we are still exploring in all directions.
It is not in tourist trap and the smaller villages around retain their character even today. The locals are mostly French, friendly and welcoming. The country feeling abounds in the produce available in the local shops and markets.

What makes this property unique

The property is not just a place to stay .... it is a home and is much loved.
You can enjoy the quiet, peaceful area and yet be in the middle of a bustling town market within minutes.
The countryside changes throughout the seasons and each one brings a different feeling to the house.
In summer it is bright, open and sunny and in winter, warm, cosy and inviting ....
We offer quality accommodation to enable you to explore and enjoy this spectacular region of France.
