About this property

Large Countryside French stone Cottage next to river with extensive grounds

Stone cottage sleeps 8 in a secluded valley, alongside the river Noireau, with views of rocky cliff on one side (covered in wild flowers in spring and summer), wooded hills on the other and the riverside garden which runs for 0.5 km. There are extensive grounds to walk and play in - a wilderness of fun or tranquility.

The stone cottage dates back to 1860. We bought it in 2002 and had it totally renovated so it still holds the beauty of an old building but a modern conversion inside to provide comfort!

3 lawned gardens- first in front of river by our wood store barn, great for sunbathing, paddling, swimming (bring croc shoes!) and enjoying tranquility while listening to the river.
Second garden is to the side of the house with easy access inside and big outdoor BBQ facilities and night time dining- great for ball games too. The third runs the length of the grounds alongside the river - lovely for walks, painting, birdwatching etc. Regular sightings of otters, red kites, kingfishers and red squirrels.

Ideal for families wanting to kick back and relax or walkers & painters. Local village with general store/post office/boulangerie. 6km to the town of Flers. 40 mins from beaches. Free WiFi. There are 4 bedrooms-a double with en-suite shower room on the ground floor, and 3 bedrooms upstairs (a double, bunk bed room and a single bedroom (with truckle)) and bathroom with corner bath/ shower. Plus double sofa bed on mezzanine sitting area with TV which has internet access for your Netflix/Amazon Prime account etc and DVDs. There is a large open plan living room, kitchen diner with large fireplace and sofa seating for 10. The large french oak dining table seats up to 10. Newly refitted Kitchen has fridge/freezer, induction hob and electric oven, dishwasher,microwave,washing machine, toaster, mixer, microwave, Nespresso coffee machine, pasta make .

Rustgevende plek!
Wij hebben als gezin twee heerlijke weken doorgebracht in Les Vaux. De omgeving is prachtig om te wandelen en vlinders dartelen je om de oren. De tuin rond het huis is enorm, en er is altijd wel een plek om in de zon/schaduw te zitten. De murmelende beek maakt het helemaal af. Het huis kan schoner, maar daar staat tegenover dat het heel compleet is. Als gezin hoef je weinig mee te nemen, bijna alles is er. Ook (buiten)spelletjes en dvd's. Voor de boodschappen moesten we wel wat verder rijden, omdat de bakker/winkel in het dorp ook vakantie had. Culturele uitstapjes vragen ook om een iets langere autorit, maar dan is er genoeg te bekijken. Alle gezinnen die van rust, natuur en van Normandië houden zouden dit huis een keer moeten huren.

Well equiped and welcoming house
We had a lovely stay at Les Vaux. We found the place well equiped and spacious for our company. The location was first rate, rather secluded but close enough to baker and shops to be practical.
