Our Gite is situated in the hamlet of Condé sur Sarthe (Department 61 - L'Orne) on the outskirts of the historic town of Alençon and at the base of the Foret d'Ecouves La Guépinière dates to the 15th/16th century. Once a hunting lodge serving the local gentry at the nearby château. The Gite has been recently renovated to an extremely high standard by local artisans and offers luxurious accommodation - the original exposed beams are a striking feature. The accommodation comprises a large beautiful oak kitchen, bright lounge dining room with satellite TV etc. The gite comfortably sleeps 7 people in 3 large bedrooms - 2 double bedded rooms and 1 with 3 single beds. A cot & high chair can be provided if required. There are 2 luxury bathrooms (one en-suite). Outside the property is surrounded on 3 sides by our fields and we have a stunning walled courtyard garden and another large garden with an 18' diameter heated swimming pool (closed from October to beginning May).

Superb holiday cottage

Amanda, Keith, Elliott & Lidia Bromsgrove, Worcestershire, UK
Review Submitted: August 30, 2009 Date of Stay: August 2009
A special cottage in a central loaction - with access to so many places of interest; or for just a relaxing day in the pool garden.

Anne & David are so friendly and helpful. Nothing is too much trouble.

A very high standard of accommodation - excellent facilities. Anne & David have thought of everything!

Thank you from all of us. We look forward to seeing you next year.





Would recommend to all who wish to enjoy all that Normandy has to offer, and a holiday experience to remember
Owner's Response: Thank you Amanda, Keith, Elliott & Lidia.

BEST Gite in France

Content of Conde Surrey
Review Submitted: June 3, 2008 Date of Stay: June 2007
As a matter of policy our family never revisits a holiday location for fear of disappointment.

However, we have come back to La Guepiniere four times and every time it is even more enjoyable. This is, without doubt, the BEST gite in France.

TOUT comme il faut !!!

Dawn & David - June 2007
Owner's Response: It was a pleasure having Dawn & David stay here - they are fast becomming 'one of the family' and we can always guarantee they will leave the gite in a spotless condition on departure!
