A house made for company

Space to gather, quiet to unwind

Seven bedrooms and four bathrooms across a generous farmhouse layout mean big families and groups of friends can spread out comfortably. Long dinners on the terrace, lazy afternoons by the pool, evenings around the billiards table — the house is built for togetherness.

Enjoy your own space and privacy, with the owners living nearby if you need them.

We had a very relaxed and enjoyable week with loads of space for two families and four kids of varying ages. There really is something for everyone with superb facilities inside and outside the property to keep all ages entertained. Michael was a great host, always on hand if needed. Would thoroughly recommend.

We had a wonderful week with four families all together. The house was perfect for all ages and much more spacious than we had expected. The swimming pool was fantastic and enjoyed by everyone throughout our stay. Michael was an excellent host, always going above and beyond. He was incredibly responsive and helpful whenever we had any questions or needed anything. We would highly recommend both the house and its location. We had such a special holiday and created memories that our whole family will treasure forever. It really was the perfect house for a perfect family holiday.

We had a great time at St Ovin. The house was very large, spacious, pleasant, and perfectly suited for a stay with babies. The outdoor spaces are well laid out and equipped, with a large shaded garden, swimming pool, spa area, barbecue, terrace, and a petanque court. It has everything you need for a great time with friends or family! Our host Michael was also very friendly and responsive, and did everything to make our stay smooth and enjoyable!

This is a brilliant house with fantastic facilities. We were a family of six adults and four children and we all loved our stay. There was ample room for everyone with large and well furnished rooms. Great kitchen and BBQ which we used a lot! The swimming pool was used all the time and the outside area had plenty of seating and eating options. Michael was very quick to respond to any questions we asked so a great host. Thank you Michael we wouldn't hesitate to come back!!

Great stay at Mick's place! We loved the house where adults and children were able to enjoy many activities: pool, jacuzzi, badminton, pétanque… The house is very convenient and spacious, the bedding is comfortable, we were delighted! Mick was super responsive and did everything to ensure we had a great stay. We'll be happy to come back!

A lovely, spacious and well-equipped house ideal for a large family group. There was so much to do in the house and garden for our three young grandchildren as well as the six adults - the swimming pool and hot tub were particularly enjoyed! Good supermarkets and boulangeries were within easy driving distance. Mike and Jackie were very welcoming and helpful hosts and responded promptly to any query we had. We had a super week and will return!

Huge house with lots of communal space and a great garden for children. The pool and hot tub were big hits. Mick and Jackie were very communicative and responsive eg replacing the gas BBQ cylinder immediately when we told them it was empty. Surrounded by lovely countryside and easy to drive to the coast/Avranches but worth noting no boulangerie or other amenities in walking distance. Thanks for a lovely stay!

Beautiful big house with outstanding garden. We were a big family party of 11 adults and 4 small children and there was so much room for us all. Mick had thought of so many things for us to do, in rain or shine. There were outdoor games, the pool, swings and slide and a hot tub. Indoors there were several big tvs and lots of board games. Very well equipped kitchen for cooking our own meals. Mick responded immediately to any problems, even texting at 2.00 in the morning when there was a power cut! A lovely sociable house that worked well for all three generations.

A beautiful home in rural France. Easy access to lots of places in Normandy and North Brittany. The house was bigger and more spacious than the photos looked. Fantastic for a large family, and very well equipped throughout. Mick and his wife were fantastic hosts - communicative before our stay and during, and the wine on arrival was very welcome! I'd happily stay at Willow Tree Gite again! Thank you.
