Accommodation

La Petite Grange is a now a well restored 19th century cottage nestling in the Mayenne countryside. It stands in 8 acres of private, peaceful woodland with its own private fishing lake of about 1 acre. The lake is well stocked with carp up to 30lb and trout (good fun to catch and barbecue). Both of our properties have been tastefully restored retaining many of their original features. The surrounding countryside is great for birdwatching as there are buzzards, kestrels, kingfishers, woodpeckers and if you are lucky you may hear the cuckoo or the hoopoe who arrive here every spring. Wild boar have also been seen in the woods along with the occasional deer. If you enjoy walking or cycling the local roads are very quite and you see so much more than in the car. In the spring it is lovely to see the new born lambs and it is not uncommon to see the odd calf being born.Youngsters may enjoy helping to feed Silas the donkey, Dolly the sheep or Brian the goat. They can also help themselves to eggs.

La Petite Grange is a tastefully renovated 19th century grain store the ideal place for you and your family to get away from it all. It stands in it's own woods with it's own private drive. It is stone built on 2 levels with the kitchen and living room being on the ground floor along with the shower room and toilet. The 2 bedrooms are on the 1st floor. It is all decorated and furnished to a high standard. The living room has a wood burning fire with comfy seating. The kitchen has everything you should need and although no washing machine this can be done for a very small fee. The shower is large and modern. The bedrooms both have windows that look out over the woods so when you wake in the morning you can watch the red squirrels that live here gathering nuts. La Petite Grange is more suitable for very young children as it is not right next to the lake and the stream. Also the stairs are not steep as in the mill.
