Overview
Description
Quiet and secluded old Normandy farmhouse, renovated to a high standard to provide 3 bedroom accommodation with separate kitchen and huge lounge/diner. Large family bathroom upstairs with additional downstairs cloakroom. Fenced in gardens both behind and in front of the house; perfect for enjoying the early morning and evening sun.St Sauveur de Carrouges is set within the huge Normandie-Maine national park in this beautifully quiet and unspoilt part of Normandy. The town of Carrouges with its wonderful chateau is a 5 minute drive from the house, with the delightful towns of Bagnoles, Argentan and La Ferté Macé all just a short distance away. It is within easy reach of the Normandy beaches and other historic monuments and sites from WW2.
All bed linen and towels provided. Free wifi and a cosy log burner for cool evenings.
Please note that, although the ceilings are very high, there are some low doorways in the house.

Leave ReviewThe perfect base...
By The Stacey Family on 14-Aug-2025We had a wonderful time at the gite in St Sauveur de Carrouges. It provided the perfect base for exploring the local area. We were very lucky that we timed our holiday for the festivities for 'The Assumption' bank holiday and in particular the enormous car boot sale and fair in Ranes was a brilliant day out. Back at the cottage there was everything we needed for a comfortable stay. We saw the red squirrel a few times (always around 7.30am-8am) and all the family enjoyed evening walks in the quiet village as the sun set, along with a bit of rounders back in the spacious garden. Bagnoles de l'Orne was a great town close by and very much worth a visit. We found the whole holiday brilliant value for money and communication was fantastic throughout. Thank you and we wish we could have stayed longer.
Lovely Stay in Quiet Village.
By Charles & Philippa on 02-Jun-2025Wonderful stay with lots of birdsong and wildlife. Saw the red squirrel a number of times! Comfortable cottage, we stayed three weeks and enjoyed the peace and quiet. The market in Carrouges on Saturday is well worth a visit for food shopping.
Fantastic spot for a family holiday
By Rachel on 07-Aug-2024We really enjoyed our stay at the property in August 2024. Since the owners use the property for their own holidays, it is really well equipped with all the little things you can't be sure of for a self-catering property (washing up liquid etc!). The main garden was a great space for the children to play in and the area is really quiet. Local activities included visiting Falaise (castle, swimming pool), swimming in the lifeguarded lake at La Ferte Mace (free), cycle rides, kayaking from Pont D'Ouilly and testing various patisseries. Tessa was very helpful in suggesting activities before we arrived too. Thank you for a great holiday.

Little gem in beautiful country side
By Marion and Charles on 06-Sep-2023We stayed a long week in this charming cottage, very quiet village but close enough to the essential shops to not be cut off completely. House was very comfortable with plenty of space, but then it was only 2 of us. Outside furniture was a bit sparse. We enjoyed the forests and old towns of Normandy, Sees was a surprise, and so was Domfront and the lovely forest paths. Farmers markets great to get some excellent French produce. All in all, worth returning to!
