The accomodation has everthing you could wish for and is ideally situated to visit the sites ie:the Beaches, Mont st.Michel and much more. Worth the travel....
This is a charming, spacious house in a quiet village, not far from restaurants, cafes and supermarkets in Vire and Sourdeval and about an hour from pleasant beaches.
My family had a fantastic holiday. The location is ideal for the attractions in Normandy. The village of Vengeons is quiet with the restaurants and shops available nearby in Vire. Recommend the walks near Sourdeval and Mortain.
Comfortable house full of charm with excellent facilities. Friendly and helpful owner. The surrounding area is stunningly beautiful. Very quiet and peaceful.
Very highly recommended. Many thanks!
There were three generations of our family together for this holiday and La Masion Calme had everything for everyone. We all really enjoyed the barn. The rooms were perfect for a great family holiday and the table tennis table was a real bonus. The area was beautiful with plenty to do for all the family. Thanks to Martin and Pella for looking after us.
10/10 Excellent

Great stay at Le Maison Calme
Our family of 7 had a great stay in this renovated barn home. Le Maison Calme is in a peaceful village where we enjoyed morning coffee on the back patio and walks along the rolling hills. When we encountered some transportation challenges, the owner was very responsive to help us find a solution. Highly recommended.
We were looking for a comfortable place in the Normandy region to spend a quiet week, and this house was fantastic!!! We live in an urban rat race, so having the time to check out on vacation is paramount. The house has EVERYTHING we could gave needed. We spent time using the great kitchen, and appreciated the fabulous dining table as well as the living room area that served well for a down afternoon. The host was beyond amazing and made sure communication was easy, complete, and appropriate. There was not one thing we would have changed about the accommodations or our stay. Highly recommend!!!!
This house is probably one of the most comfortable we've been at. The weather in Normandy these days is really awful and we didn't notice it at all being in the house. Cozy, warm and with everything we needed. It perfectly fits 2 couples with children. It is less than an hour drive from the main Normandy sites to visit and the village is extremely quiet.
The house was quite tidy, but it needed a deeper cleaning. Owner, despite not being in the neighborhood, was always available and helpful through email and phone. Thanks David!
It is definitely a lovely house we recommend, especially in Spring or Summer time!

We had a couple of nights in the village on the way down to Brittany. The house is well equipped and in good order with plenty of room for four adults. Good size bedrooms and comfortable beds. Good to have two bathrooms both with showers. Although there are no shops in the village, Sourdeval is only 5 minutes down the road by car. It has everything you want from a couple of small supermarkets, cafes, restaurants, boulangeries and so on. In the other direction you can be in the larger town of Vire within about 10 minutes. It's a great location to explore Normandy and provides peace and quiet after a days travelling. Martin the local caretaker provided a wealth of information and made sure we had everything we wanted. Even the neighbours sheep were friendly and would come by to get a stroke! Only snag at time was the dishwasher wasn't working but David the owner had let us know beforehand so no complaints there- meant my daughter learned what 'washing up' means. Great time and weather perfect as a bonus.
Huset, som var en skuffelse, levede ikke op til billedmaterialet pÄ vrbo's hjemmeside.
Billederne mÄ vÊre adskillige Är gamle, fordi trÊer og buske nu har vokset sig sÄ store, at der ikke kommer meget lys ind i huset. Terrassen foran huset lÄ det meste af tiden i skygge af trÊerne.
Det ville vÊre godt for helhedsindtrykket, at fÄ beskÄret de omkringstÄende trÊer og buske.
Beliggenheden er for sÄ vidt OK, med omkring 1 - 11/2 times kÞrsel til invasionsstrandende, Bayeux og Mont St. Michel.

I am a health professional and bought this property in 2005. It became a labour of love in designing and renovating the property between 2010 and 2012. It has been converted to a very high standard with solid oak flooring and staircase, underfloor heating, and electric velux windows and blinds in the master bedroom.
It was a perfect balance of being easy to access from the ports, and also well positoned for both trips to the beaches of the west coast and also exploration into unspoilt rural Normandy. It is in a peaceful village, but not too quiet and remote - there are other houses around but no shops in the village. However the shops of Sourdeval are just a 5 minute drive away. I also enjoy the open air heated swimming pool in nearby Mortain. For a larger town Vire is just a 10 minute drive. One day I intend to cycle in a day on the dedicated cycle track to the Mont de Michel.
I wanted a holiday home which had a taste of luxury, spaciousness and calm. I enjoy the quality fittings and modern conveniences like broadband which keep me in touch with the world. Equally, I can turn it all off and enjoy quiet reflective walks with no noise nor reminders of modern life. It is a friendly village, generally quiet, free from traffic but not isolated. Overall, a perfect combination. Excellent garden for children, which extends down into woods. Or the gate down to the larger garden can be closed allowing a smaller area for small children to be supervised (or dogs too for that matter - fences are dog proofed with mesh). Foldable TABLE TENNIS table is easily set up on the patio for games for all. 2 bicycles are also available for use.
