Located in Manche, La Gandonnière is a 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom villa that can accommodate up to 6 people comfortably. The total floor area is approximately 104 sq.m. The villa has two floor levels.
This property is located within Manche.
The house has all modern facilities, despite being situated in the heart of the Normandy countryside. The lounge/kitchen is spacious, with beamed ceiling and real oak parquet flooring. The room is purpose designed and does not, unlike many gites, have to double as a sleeping area. So it is possible to watch television when others have gone to bed. There is both French television (useful for watching the weather forecast!) and many English channels (via satellite).
The windows are double glazed, with shutters for use if you like a dark bedroom! All rooms have electric heating convectors (wall mounted, with heat level thermostats) for the cold Seasons.
There is one bedroom downstairs, with a shower room/toilet adjacent. There is a feature spiral staircase leading from that bedroom to another upstairs, which is especially light and spacious.
If greater privacy is required, there is a third double bedroom in the room above the lounge, which is accessed via a straight staircase.There is a spacious bathroom/toilet adjacent.
Special note for those with very young children: Both staircases have open treads. It is a condition of booking that you accept full responsibility for your child's/children's safety.
There are stunning countryside views from the property. The views from the upstairs windows are especially memorable and often commented upon by people staying here. There is plenty of parking space in front of the house.

"'We had a lovely holiday here. Set in a rural location with great views. Close to Brécey (5 min drive) for fresh bread, supermarket and swimming pool. Lots in the local area - drive to beaches not too far, plus local zoo and adventure park. The children liked seeing the near by horses, chickens, ducks and even fed and kept the water for the sheep topped up. Inside everything looks almost new as its obviously been very recently renovated to a great standard. Wooden and laminate floors plus very large rooms. Two modern bathrooms. Everything you need is included and the English satellite TV is a real bonus. Very helpful owners - English spoken and they live near by and great communication from booking stage onwards. Thanks for a great holiday.'"

"By Katy of Northampton:
'The cottage and the owners were fantastic. The warm welcome and gifts after a 14 hour drive was greatly appreciated, as was the adaptability of the length of stay. The cottage was clean, spacious and well equipped. The children loved having resident sheep to talk to. Although blissfully remote, it was very easy to get to every convenience you could want. Many thanks for an enjoyable stay.'"
