Vacation Rental Description
We would like to extend an invitation to join us for a special holiday, not only to share our beautiful home but also our way of life. We will help you to have a holiday you will remember long after your return home. La Seliniere is situated midway between St. Sever forest, famous for it's wild life and Lac Dathée, equally well known for its 18 hole golf course, carp fishing and water sports.
The house is surrounded by green lawns, colourful flowerbeds and sunny terraces, there is even a kitchen garden where we produce most of our own vegetables. In the garden are outside areas for eating, relaxing in the sunshine or playing games, which are supplied for adults and children alike.
Take the time to introduce yourselves to our animals, collect your own eggs for breakfast from our chickens, feed our sheep, and take a treat out for Dillon the donkey and Pepi the pony. Your first welcome will be from Hugo our yellow Labrador who just loves visitors. Experience life in rural France with us.
We provide a home cooked four course evening meal consisting of fresh local produce, fully inclusive of wine of course, priced at only 21 euros per person. Children's prices on request.
Lunch and picnic lunches can also be provided. You will find in each room an information pack that details everything you will need to know about local shops, supermarkets, banks, chemists. The local restaurants are also listed with directions.
Every pursuit has been covered with pamphlet information. The famous Cathedral of The Island Mont-St-Michel, the Bayeux tapestry, the medieval town of Fougeres and the Brittany coast, are all less than one hours drive away and well worth a visit. The D-Day landing beaches with their museums are also within easy reach.
The garden is a gated area and as such is secure for children to play. The side car park is more than ample for any number of cars to be parked away from the building safely and securely. We can now offer wifi access should you wish to bring a laptop with you. We have availability in our barn for motor bikes and cycles. Fresh towels daily. Tea/coffee making facilities in each room and full English/Continental breakfast is inclusive.
All meals can be served in the dining room or on the terrace. A barbeque and tables and chairs are provided for guests who want to try their own culinary skills. If the idea of sitting on the terrace in the evening sun, sampling the local wine, while the barbeque sizzles quietly does not appeal, we can on request, provide evening meals. Sun beds are provided for those who just wish to relax.
The Bayeux Suite comprises of a large double bedroom en-suite with interconnecting bedroom, fitted with adult size bunk beds, another single bed can also be provided for a family of five or a travel cot at no extra cost.
