Rural barn in lovely area with plenty of potential
The barn is located in a rural area with plenty of space, green and quiet. Lovely country setting! The local town is tiny and does not have any shops or a bakery. The barn has an oven however, so you can use it to bake some fresh bread. (Shops are app 10-15 min. ride by car)
Furthermore you are close to the main roads. It is a good place to visit places you want to see like -Mont-Saint-Michel (app. 30 mins) and the landing beaches (just over an hour).
The barn has three medium sized bedrooms and can easily sleep four. Five is possible, but I would not recommend it; the bathroom is tiny and for five to relax in the living area would be a bit cramped. (We were a family of four with teenagers and a dog.)
We had a good week, regardless of the bad weather we had all week. We played boardgames at the dining table and watched a few of the movies using the dvd-player and the movies that were in the house. We walked a lot in the local area with our dog. One evening we walked to the village and played table tennis there.
The local hosts as well as the owners are lovely people and communication was never a problem. Always got a quick response.
A few issues with the house made our stay less comfortable than it should have been, like the (smell of) dampness and other minor things, like no lock on the bathroom door and a leaking shower enclosure.
It is a lovely place, run by lovely people. It does need some TLC in some places and truly has all the potential for a lovely holiday home.
