The tower is a magnificent 18th century farmhouse, situated in peaceful countryside and very close to the medieval town of Falaise, Lower Normandy.
We have two very comfortable self catering cottages (Gîtes) which are set in 7 hectares of land offering a tranquil rural retreat in which to relax and unwind. Each cottage sleeps up to 9 people. Formerly stable to the nearby castle, the two deposits have been entirely renovated whilst keeping their authentic charm.
Both cottages have a spacious living area with leather sofas and english satellite TV, a DVD player and a library of DVDs for kids and parents. Free Wi - Fi internet access is available in both cottages.
In each cottage you will find: a baby monitor (DECT without interference), can be found in booster seat, high chair, changing table, baby bath tub, potty, toilet seat reducer, a stroller and plastic plates, cups and cutlery.
Each cottage has a private garden with garden furniture, parasol and a BBQ. There is a shared playroom equipped with plenty of toys for the under 5s and nearby table tennis for older kids (and their parents!). We have an outdoor play area and there are extensive grounds in which to play outdoor games and enjoy picnics and the little ones can enjoy petting the animals in the paddock.
Area of the tower is a great option for extended families or several different families wanting to holiday together with plenty of space for everybody, old and young alike.
