Sitting cosily in four acres of gardens and orchards, surrounded by Normandy countryside, Le Petit Marron is the perfect two-person gite for a holiday or short break at any time of the year.

Adjoining the main house, the gite forms part of an old barn. It has two floors; the upper floor enjoying lovely views across the gardens and neighbouring fields. The king-sized bed lies beneath exposed beams, with en-suite facilities and walk-in wardrobe close at hand.

Downstairs, there is a well-equipped kitchen and living / dining room, with a heater for lets in the cooler parts of the year.

Through the French windows, visitors step onto a small private terrace with comfortable outside furniture, ideal for relaxing in the sunshine or eating al fresco, overlooking the gardens.

Bedding and some towels are provided, but please bring your own towels for the beach. A clothes' horse will be provided for drying hand-washing.

The kitchen is equipped with gas oven and hob, a separate microwave oven and a refrigerator. Crockery, saucepans and other basic equipment are provided. An ironing board will be provided, but please bring a travel iron for your own use.

The gite is not far from Avranches or Isigny le Buat, making shopping for food relatively easy. Fresh milk can be bought at the 'Proxi' grocer in Isigny and across the road from there is an excellent boulangerie, open every day except Monday and Sunday afternoon. We are also happy to sell produce from the garden when there is a surplus.

Visitors to the gite are welcome to book an evening meal to be eaten with ourselves and our house guests. Four course evening meals with wine and coffee are normally served at 8.00pm. with aperitifs at 7.30pm (for prices, click here). Where possible, organic produce from the garden is used and we pride ourselves in presenting both interesting and wholesome fare. We welcome vegetarians and coeliacs and will try to accommodate most diets.

We are a non-smoking establishment, but ashtrays will be available for those wishing to smoke on the terrace.

The booking for the gite runs from Saturday to Saturday.
