Le Tertre Farmhouse & Gîtes

Escape to the calm of the Normandy countryside and get ready to unwind. Choose between our traditional French Farmhouse or cosy one-bedroom gîtes, all bursting with original character and everything you need for the perfect escape. With exposed wooden beams throughout and quaint and quirky features, all the properties have been thoughtfully restored and are perfect for a relaxing break or as a base to explore rural France. Also on the property are several original stone buildings, taking you back to days gone by. Le Tertre is located 4km from Ceaucé, a friendly village perfectly placed for exploring some of the region’s most beautiful sights. Surrounded by rolling fields, quiet lanes and traditional stone hamlets, this is an ideal base for guests who want to unwind while still having plenty to see and do nearby. Ceaucé offers everything you need day‑to‑day, including a bakery, pharmacy, supermarket, café and a small weekly market with local produce. Just a short drive away, you’ll find the charming medieval town of Domfront, with its hilltop castle ruins and cobbled streets, and the spa town of Bagnoles‑de‑l’Orne, known for its lakeside walks, thermal baths, casino and Belle Époque architecture. Nature lovers can explore the vast Forêt d’Andaine, the scenic Normandy–Maine Regional Natural Park, and miles of quiet country lanes perfect for walking and cycling. The famous Mont‑Saint‑Michel, the D‑Day beaches, and the coastal towns of Granville and Cancale all make easy day trips. Travelling here is simple: Ceaucé sits between Mayenne and Alençon, with good road links and plenty of free parking. Whether you want to visit châteaux, sample local cider and cheese, explore historic towns or simply relax in the tranquility of rural France, this location gives you the best of Normandy at your doorstep. Each cottage is very well equipped for your stay. The Kitchens all have ovens, stoves and microwaves as well as pots, pans and utensils. You can enjoy a home cooked meal at the dining table before retiring to the comfortable lounge. There are washing machines in every cottage and outdoor or indoor drying facilities. Bedding and towels are also fully provided. We love to welcome dogs at Le Tertre and there's plenty of enclosed space for them to enjoy safely outside and an abundance of walks both near and far to tire them out.
