Mill Cottage 2 Bedroom Cottage (NC002492)

Enjoy a warm French welcome at our beautifully newly renovated mill cottage set in a really pretty French village on the outskirts of Vire. The mill is set in 6 acres of land which boasts a good sized fishing pool. Picnic tables and a friendly donkey named Noisette (nut). The land also has a large apple orchard where all the apples are harvested and turned into cider.(Complimentary cider is given to guests to sample or to take home).

The Mill is situated in the middle of the village and is only a 30 second walk from a bar/restaurant called Le Petit Bretton. The bar provides a great Plat du Jour (4 course meal including local cider and wine) for just 10.50 Euros. The restaurant is open both for lunch and evening meals.
The village  has bakers for all those cakes, bread and croissants, and also a boutique which sells local crafts made by the French women in the community. There are beautiful walks around the village and as the village is only situated 5 minutes from St Sever it is ideal to sample the local bars.

The pretty village of St Sever is only a 5 min drive away from the cottage and on Saturday morning it holds a lovely farmers market where the local farmers come to sell their delicious Normandy produce; the food is very fresh and tasty but also excellent value Tuesday mornings selling lots of delicious Normandy produce. Also visit the huge Depot Vente in St Sever which sells 2nd hand furniture, ornaments and other fascinating things. St Sever has a large open air swimming pool and again many bars. The town of Vire is only 10 mins drive which is a large town boasting many fantastic shops. Why not try a trip in November and December and visit the quaint Christmas Markets.

You cannot however, come on holiday to Normandy without a visit to Mont St Michel which is approx a 40 min drive away. The Mont has been named by the Guardian Newspaper as one of the top 10 romantic places to visit in the world. I don't think they are wrong. If you have teenagers or a feeling like a daredevil why not visit Hackets Adventure Park. You could try bungee jumping from the viaduct that was designed by Gustaff Eiffel (guaranteed to blow away your cobwebs).
