Cour du Berger is a charming 5 bedroom gîte available to rent in the area of Calvados, Normandy, only half an hour from Caen and 3 hours from Calais. Once a cider press, the house and barns were purchased by the family in the early 1900s. Having taken it over in 2020, it has been a family affair to renovate it with attention to detail and craftsmanship, exposing and enhancing the original features.
The house sleeps 9 people, with 2 king sized bedrooms, 1 twin bedroom, 1 single bedroom and a bunk-bed room, along with a downstairs loo, an upstairs bathroom with bath and another separate loo and shower. Downstairs, the kitchen is well equipped and comes with an electric Everhot 120 range cooker, with 4 ovens and dishwasher. In the Boot Room there is a washing machine and double sink.
There is also a large open fire in the snug, with television and children’s toys, and a wood burning stove in the sitting room, so suitable for both summer and winter holidays. Outside are large fields, both in front and behind the house exclusively for guests, with an outside seating area and a Palazzetti Wood Fired Pizza Oven.
Wifi throughout. Parking for numerous cars. One well behaved dog allowed.
Please also note, there is a river running through the property.
