About this property

BARN CONVERSION detached 3 bed self catering, 25 mins beach, countryside+peace

Characterful detached 3 bedroom Normandy Barn conversion, set in its own large garden, in the heart of the picturesque Normandy countryside. The barn is located on the outskirts of the village of St Aubin des Bois and just 25 minutes drive from the breathtaking Normandy beaches. Discounts for longer bookings.

Just a short drive from the historic and enchanting market town of Villedieu les Poeles, famed for its fine copperware, cafes, bars, beautiful artisan shops and many restaurants. This market town has become a well known centre for local artists and artisans, with various studios displaying their craft. There are many art exhibitions and festivals over the summer here. Our village, Saint Aubin Des Bois, has its own famous Tractor Festival every August! If you love steam engines, tractors and retro vehicles, you will love this day!

If your family like peace and quite, then this is a great place for your family to relax, and unwind, in the heart of the Normandy countryside.

Our barn conversion is less than 1 hours drive from Caen car ferry port. The property can comfortably sleep 6 as it has 3 bedrooms, two of which have king size double beds and the third bedroom contains one single bed and another pull-out bed. The spacious open plan lounge / kitchen / diner has all you need to enjoy self catering at your own convenience. There is a family shower room with downstairs WC and the house also has a washing machine, ceramic hob/oven, fridge freezer and microwave within the fully-equipped kitchen area.

This property is situated in the heart of the Normandy Countryside, yet just 25 minutes from beautiful beaches and 25 minutes from Mont Saint Michel Unesco world heritage site – this is the world-famous island abbey and the second most visited tourist spot in France.

Pour un amoureux de la nature comme moi, je suis totalement satisfait.
Au calme à la campagne, les personnes qui s'occupent de la maison sont adorables, les magasins à moins de 15min et beaucoup d'autres découvertes à moins d'une heure (en voiture bien-sûr).

Rural barn in lovely area with plenty of potential
The barn is located in a rural area with plenty of space, green and quiet. Lovely country setting! The local town is tiny and does not have any shops or a bakery. The barn has an oven however, so you can use it to bake some fresh bread. (Shops are app 10-15 min. ride by car) Furthermore you are close to the main roads. It is a good place to visit places you want to see like -Mont-Saint-Michel (app. 30 mins) and the landing beaches (just over an hour). The barn has three medium sized bedrooms and can easily sleep four. Five is possible, but I would not recommend it; the bathroom is tiny and for five to relax in the living area would be a bit cramped. (We were a family of four with teenagers and a dog.) We had a good week, regardless of the bad weather we had all week. We played boardgames at the dining table and watched a few of the movies using the dvd-player and the movies that were in the house. We walked a lot in the local area with our dog. One evening we walked to the village and played table tennis there. The local hosts as well as the owners are lovely people and communication was never a problem. Always got a quick response. A few issues with the house made our stay less comfortable than it should have been, like the (smell of) dampness and other minor things, like no lock on the bathroom door and a leaking shower enclosure. It is a lovely place, run by lovely people. It does need some TLC in some places and truly has all the potential for a lovely holiday home.

About the host

Hosted by Steve Bridge

Host profile image
I love travel and photography. I have loved converting this ancient stone barn into a comfortable family holiday home!

Why they chose this property

This barn conversion property was architect designed, structurally optimised and renovated very recently. It is peaceful, with a large private garden of over 2000 M2, set in the countryside amidst the rolling Normandy hills. Externally the character of the stone barn has been retained. Inside is more contemporary, with a completely new internal structure, insulation and dry-walls together with new fixtures and fittings, including two new sets of french doors and double glazed windows. It is well positioned to explore the Normandy and Brittany coast, towns and other delights in this beautiful region of France.

What makes this property unique

Experience the peace and tranquility of the French countryside with cows, sheep, cows and other farmyard animals nearby from time to time! Countryside walks are lovely around the local area. At night you will be able to see the milky way galaxy, and then relax to the beautiful sound of silence. Bon Nuit.
