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 .
Lawn with stone-built BBQ eating area, and garden furniture. Another large fridge in basement.
All duvet covers, sheets, pillowcases, bed throws, towels, bath mats provided.

Also- we can arrange for a 10% discount on your return ferry crossing for all passengers and cars- speak to us about details.

Beautiful and very well equipped
Beautiful property, tranquil setting with everything you need, short drive to a town with shops and restaurants. Lots of versatile outside and inside seating. Outside lighting was lovely. Very spacious even with 7 adults. We had a wonderful holiday. Short (but steep!) walk to Mont Cerisy with a cafe, crazy golf, children's play area and small ruined castle.perfect setting

Peaceful and relaxing
Les Vaux was wonderful, such a peaceful and relaxing place. The grounds are beautiful, and it was a joy to wake up listening to the river alongside the property. In the heart of the French countryside, it is a great place to explore Normandy. Thank you to Suzanne for all her help, we hope to be back soon!

A Fabulous Home From Home.
The house is all as described, plenty of room for everyone to relax. All mod cons are there, there is a TV, but as its up on the mezzanine floor out of the way it wasn't viewed much, I think it only got used by our 16 Yr old to watch YouTube. All bedding and towels were included too which is the bonus. Your hidden away in a secluded valley, there is a neighbour who acts as the local liason, and will help with any problems you have, but you'd never know they were there otherwise. The gardens that run by the river are more like meadows, plenty of area for the kids to run around, you can enjoy fishing in the river, plenty of minnows to catch, other larger silver fish, and if you're lucky (like I was) trout (only one though). Make sure you use the bbq it's so nice to sit outside and eat and drink in the peaceful garden. You feel like you're in the middle of nowhere, but you're only 20 minutes from a supermarket. All in all, all I can say is that it's a lovely place to stay, and an ideal base for exploring the Normandy countryside.

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.

Veel ruimte, veel rust
Heerlijke week gehad in dit vakantiehuis.. Ideaal om een tijd ver weg van alle drukte bij te komen. Geen luxe huis, maar alles wat nodig is, is er. Vooral de ruimte om het huis is enorm. En het kabbelende water maakt het helemaal tot een ontspanningsoord. Beheerder van het huis is zeer vriendelijk (spreekt o.a. engels, frans en nederlands) en is snel ter plekke bij vragen. Geslaagde vakantie.

Un Havre de paix proche de plein d’activités
Nous avons passé un merveilleux séjour dans cette maison très bien équipée ! Le grand plus pour nous a été l’immense jardin très calme où nos 3 enfants ont pu jouer au foot, jouer dans le ruisseau et observer les insectes ! Autour de la maison il y a de belles balades à faire dans la campagne. A 15-20 min en voiture il y a plein de super activités nature : luge d’été, escalade, canoë, VTT... j’espère que nous reviendrons !

Rustpuntje in de pure natuur.
Prachtig en rustig gelegen huisje aan een riviertje. Ruim en volledig ingericht. Contact met de Engelse verhuurder verliep snel, soepel en vriendelijk. Ideale plek om helemaal uit te rusten te midden van prachtige natuur.

Maison au bord de l eau
Le lieu est magnifique, au cœur de la verdure au fond de la vallée du Noireau. La maison est nichée entre la falaise et la rivière. Calme absolu. La maison est confortable, bien équipée et les hôtes sont à l écoute et réactifs. Nous avons passé une semaine très agréable.

Lovely house in a great location in Normandy
We had a lovely stay in Saint-Pierre-d'Entremont. The house is spacious and well equipped. The large yard with stream provided a peaceful setting for children to run around and for outdoor meals. Communication with Suzanne was very easy. We definitely recommend the house!

Des vacances au bord de la rivière
Nous avons passé un très bon séjour dans la maison de Mark et Suzanne. Elle est confortable, très bien équipée et il y a beaucoup de jeux pour les enfants. La rivière apporte beaucoup de fraîcheur au lieu, ce qui était véritablement un plus pour la semaine de canicule que nous avons eue. Les enfants ont adoré s'y baigner.

A comfortable house in a lovely location
The location is great - the stream next to the garden kept us cool in hot weather, and the children could play in it, although it is rocky and shallow (bring water shoes), and the garden is as peaceful as could be, with wonderful walking country all around whether you want to climb forested hills or walk through open rolling Normandy landscapes. The house is well equipped and comfortable for 6-8 people, with plenty of seating inside and out, and a built in barbecue, and some play stuff as well, badminton bats and so on. We wanted to retreat from Covid craziness and be in a place where we didn't really need the rest of the world for a week, and it's perfect for that - you have space, scenery, and peace, although it's also quite nice knowing that the friendly neighbours are a hundred metres or so away - they were very helpful. There's a deserted riverside building just upstream that you see from some angles which isn't exactly beautiful, but it isn't a bother and generally it's pretty idyllic. There were eight of us, including 4 children of all ages, and we had a really very good time, whether fishing (limited success, but quite some fun) or exploring or just hanging around. We didn't even have any bother from mosquitoes, despite the stream. The local villages are pretty sleepy, but pleasant enough and you can get the stuff you need without going too far. Bread and a simple shop are just a couple of kilometres.

The place, the environment, the neighbours, ... it all gave us a very happy feeling. So tranquil everything, idyllic, spaceous, easy living ... Suzanne as the owner picked up the communication very early and stayed in touch to assure we were totaly fine. Neigbours Mel and Johan were there to help us with anything , with fixing the broken wifi caused by a lightning struck, with many tips and even with a big frozen turkey leg :) . I enjoyed les vaux with all my senses, we all did. Would love to go back one day
