The upstairs bedroom, which has a double bed, fitted wardrobes and chest of drawers, has a small balcony which overlooks orchards and fields. The kitchen is fully equipped, complete with fridge (with ice box) dish washer, microwave, built-in oven and washing machine. An electric "log burner effect" fire gives a focal point whilst the underfloor heating downstairs makes you feel cosy and warm on those cooler evenings. Free wifi. The TV has access to both English and French channels and has a DVD player. Fresh eggs can be collected from the nesting boxes of our free range chickens. There are bikes available for you to use throughout your stay as well as a bike carrier if required. There are plenty of places to explore throughout the area, whether it be by car, bike, or walking. Our aim is to ensure our guests have an enjoyable and relaxing stay. We are close enough to give you any assistance you may need but far enough away for you to enjoy your privacy. We are situated less than two miles from the village of Bais (prono. Bay) This typical French village is complete with Tabacs/ Bars, Bakers, General Stores, Garage, Pharmacy, Bank (with ATM), and a Post Office. A small local market takes place outside the church every Wednesday. The Mayenne area of France has much to offer. It is farming country and most of the villages and towns hold events throughout the summer, including village fetes, exhibitions, fishing competitions and live music, most of them free. The famous historic town of Mayenne, perched either side of the river, has it's own Chateau, now a museum and the Basilica de Notre Dame. It has plenty of quality boutique shopping as well as it's twice weekly market. A favourite pastime is sitting in the square, sipping a coffee or wine whilst enjoying the local Plat-du-Jour, in the sunshine. In addition to our local swimming pool: at Sillé-le-Guillaume, just 20 minutes away. there is a wonderful lake with a sandy man-made beach. The area offers horse and donkey rides, boat trips, bike hire, bars and restaurants. For the bargain hunter or the curious, there are also many weekend "vide greniers" (literally "empty attic"), the French equivalent of a car-boot sale, but where a whole village is usually involved, with locals selling off the items they've had stored since last year's Vide Grenier at their village. Generally there are refreshments available and sometimes, street entertainment. Within a 30 minute car journey there are lots of small medieval towns that retain their charm and history for you to discover and explore. Sainte-Suzanne with its 1000 year old walled town with an ancient fortress and château. Jublains with its extensive Gallo-Roman remains. Lassay-les-Châteaux, with one of the best examples of a fortified medieval château in France, complete with a working drawbridge and barbican. There are plenty of activities and the area is particularly noted for walking/rambling, cycling, fishing, horse riding, exploring ancient woodland or just driving through the beautiful countryside and forests. The Alpes Mancelles are a short drive away with the beautiful villages of St Leonard de Bois and St Ceneri on the banks of the River Sarthe and there's plenty of scope for peaceful picnics - or try your hand at kayaking down the river. 40 minutes away is Le Mans, the home of the famous racetrack and it's 24 hour race, amongst many others. The town has some amazing contrasts between the medieval town with it's stone walls and cobbled streets, it's post war rebuild and it's new modern buildings. There are regular markets taking place throughout the city, but a favourite is the Sunday morning one, with the colours and smells of the food market and the array of brocante and flower stalls. Bais and the surrounding areas have so much to offer everyone. Locally it is referred to as the "France like it's supposed to be, The French secret". We look forward to meeting you and sharing those secrets. ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the house: WiFi ### Parking and transport - Car required - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker -

The cottage is beautifully decorated and has everything you need, including an amazingly comfortable bed. The outside space is private and the goats and chickens provide great entertainment. The nearest town is small but the Boulangerie sold the most delicious croissants which were perfect for breakfast. Many larger towns are a short distance away and there are a number of traditional French markets to wander round. Dean and Trish were fantastic hosts who were very unobtrusive, but there if you needed them. This is one place we would happily return to. ##### Louise D.

Pour deux personnes, il est confortable et calme. Au niveau équipement intérieur il ne manque rien. Des allumettes au micro-ondes, du tire-bouchon au lave-vaisselle, tout y est. Nous n'avons pas pu tester les équipements extérieurs car notre week-end a été très pluvieux. De même les poules nous ont fait une grève du zèle et nous n'avons pas pu malheureusement manger des oeufs frais mais ceci est vraiment anecdotique. L'accueil des hôtes est plus que parfait, leur "léger" accent anglais dépayse totalement et leurs présents est une attention tout a fait notable. Donc adresse à noter pour tout ceux et celles qui souhaitent passer un moment en campagne loin des tumultes de la ville. ##### nirannor n.

Everything we saw online was exceeded by the reality! It is obvious that Trish & Dean put their heart and soul into making a warm & cozy place to relax. The workmanship is fantastic and the location lent itself to seeing everything from the Normandy coast to the midevil castles and chateaux in the surrounding countryside. We were privileged to be invited into the main house which had undergone a similar transformation from the cow barn it had been.....beautiful! Most of all the hosts made the stay worthwhile. Although we did not get to meet Dean, the time spent talking with Trish made our last day a perfect end to a perfect trip to 🇫🇷 France! ##### WILLIAM V.

Trish was an excellent hostess who did not intrude at all on our privacy but it was reassuring to know that she was there. ##### Raymond Collins Stayed 4 nights in Sep 2018 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [CHALET GRAND PARADIS, comfort, refinement, 7 bedrooms, cinema, SPA, near center](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Megeve-Hotels-CHALET-GRAND-PARADIS.h45821662.Hotel-Information) > > [Château les Oliviers de Salettes](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Charols-Hotels-Chateau-Les-Oliviers-De-Salettes.h6201204.Hotel-Information) > > [Résidence Club mmv le Hameau des Airelles](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Montgenevre-Hotels-Residence-Club-Mmv-Le-Hameau-Des-Airelles.h6783755.Hotel-Information) > > [Hôtel Névé](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Morzine-Hotels-Hotel-Alte-Neve.h33300192.Hotel-Information) > > [Le Boudoir](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lectoure-Hotels-Le-Boudoir.h26785263.Hotel-Information) > > [Au Coeur du Village](https://www.expedia.co.uk/La-Clusaz-Hotels-Au-Coeur-Du-Village.h3934412.Hotel-Information) > > [Novotel Thalassa Le Touquet Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Le-Touquet-Paris-Plage-Hotels-Novotel-Thalassa-Le-Touquet-Hotel.h10022.Hotel-Information) > > [Best Western Premier Santa Maria](https://www.expedia.co.uk/LIle-Rousse-Hotels-Best-Western-Premier-Santa-Maria.h8202593.Hotel-Information) > > [Résidence Pierre & Vacances Le Domaine de Bourgenay](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Talmont-Saint-Hilaire-Hotels-Residence-Pierre-Vacances-Port-Bourgenay.h914003.Hotel-Information) > > [Le Club Mougins](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Mougins-Hotels-Le-Club-Mougins.h1967419.Hotel-Information) > > [2 The Courtyard 4 Star Vineyard Gite](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Puisseguin-Hotels-AS-Seen-ON-Channel-4-A-NEW-Life-IN-THE-SUN.h35165606.Hotel-Information) > > [ibis Styles Biarritz Plage (Ouverture mai 2024)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Biarritz-Hotels-Le-Biarritz.h1382298.Hotel-Information) > > [The Cottage 4 Star Vineyard Gite](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Puisseguin-Hotels-AS-Featured-ON-Channel-4-A-NEW-Life-IN-THE-SUN.h34712224.Hotel-Information) > > [Hôtel La Tartane Saint -Tropez](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Saint-Tropez-Hotels-Hotel-Saint-Amour-La-Tartane.h913185.Hotel-Information) > > [Radisson Blu Resort & Spa Ajaccio Bay](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Albitreccia-Hotels-Radisson-Blu-Resort-Spa-Ajaccio-Bay.h5027400.Hotel-Information) > > [Hôtel Restaurant La Croix Jean Claude](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Les-Allues-Hotels-Hotel-Restaurant-La-Croix-Jean-Claude.h30454851.Hotel-Information) > > [Gite in Normandy with private and heated swimming pool.](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bacqueville-En-Caux-Hotels-Gite-In-Normandy-With-Private-And-Heated-Swimming-Pool.h33471016.Hotel-Information) > > [ibis Styles Ouistreham](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ouistreham-Hotels-Ibis-Styles-Ouistreham.h554734.Hotel-Information) > > [Hôtel de France Bergerac](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bergerac-Hotels-Hotel-De-France-Bergerac.h14896647.Hotel-Information) > > [Hôtel Alpen Roc](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Morzine-Hotels-Hotel-Alpen-Roc.h8784202.Hotel-Information) > > [4 The Courtyard 4 Star Vineyard Gite](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Puisseguin-Hotels-AS-Seen-ON-Channel-4-A-NEW-Life-IN-THE-SUN.h35205556.Hotel-Information) > > [Résidence Les Cîmes](https://www.expedia.co.uk/La-Clusaz-Hotels-Residence-Les-Cimes.h16127053.Hotel-Information) > > [Logis d'exception Le Château de Sable](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Porspoder-Hotels-Logis-Dexception-Le-Chateau-De-Sable.h5970145.Hotel-Information) > > [Radisson Blu Hotel Nantes](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Nantes-Hotels-Radisson-Blu-Hotel-Nantes.h5406606.Hotel-Information) > > [Royal Champagne Hôtel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Champillon-Hotels-Royal-Champagne-Hotel-Spa.h536057.Hotel-Information) > > [L'Acquale](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Calvi-Hotels-LACQUALE.h35280665.Hotel-Information) > > [La Mandarine](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Saint-Tropez-Hotels-La-Mandarine.h5303300.Hotel-Information) > > [Maisons du Monde Hôtel & Suites - Nantes](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Nantes-Hotels-Maisons-Du-Monde-Hotel-Suites-Nantes.h106624.Hotel-Information) > > [MGM Hôtels & Résidences – Résidence Chalets Éléna](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Les-Houches-Hotels-Les-Chalets-Elena.h26747360.Hotel-Information) ---
