Lovingly Renovated Farm Cottage and Garden - click on us and see for yourself!

La Petite Maison is a beautiful rural two double bedroomed renovated cottage, suited to meet the needs of busy people looking for peace and quiet. Situated within a 200 year old farm, (now non working) and located in the department of Mayenne in north of the region of the Pays de la Loire with its spectacular landscapes in the north and vast vineyards to the south. The house is 2kms from the historic town of Lassay-les-Chateaux which boasts one of the finest examples in France of a fortified medieval chateau. The town has many winding streets amongst which can be found examples of medieval living all situated just off the main market square where you will find local shops, bars and restaurants. This is an ideal base for couples and friends seeking walking or cycling holidays in wonderful countryside or alternatively just a relaxing break from modern life!

Lovely gîte with beautiful private garden
We really enjoyed our stay. Sandra and Paul were excellent hosts and had plenty of suggestions for walks, supermarkets, restaurants and places to visit. The house is comfortable and spotlessly clean with lots of homely touches. We loved the beautiful private garden , a real treat in the evening after a day out. The Mayenne area is really quiet with some really interesting towns and sights. We loved the Roman town of Jublans and Sainte Suzanne . The old railway lines are perfect for walking or running and the Velorail is great fun.

Simply the best!
Wonderful property in quiet location with hosts who were very welcoming. Lots of places to visit in the area but the best bit was getting back to sit in the garden with a drink or two in the late afternoon. We were blessed with excellent weather for the first week in October which made the whole fly by. We have taken gite holidays for over thirty years and this was the best one ever.

Peace and quiet
Beautiful property, sparkling clean, well equipped with absolutely everything you could wish for. Paul and Sandra are the perfect hosts; helpful and friendly but not intrusive. The grounds are lovely and the area is steeped in history, we especially liked Lassay Les Chateaux and Sainte-Suzanne. But the very best bit…..? The peace and quiet was what struck me most and just what we needed.

Fantastic Stay
My partner and I spent a short week at Chantrigne and loved every second of it. The house is really welcoming and furnished with everything you would need in the kitchen. The location is really peaceful and the locals are really friendly. Paul and Sandra seem to have thought of everything and the welcome basket meant that we didn't need to stress on arrival about finding a shop. We will for sure be looking to go back.

A little slice heaven
Hosts Sandra and Paul are so welcoming, They added some lovely personal touches to what was already a delightfully peaceful haven. The cottage is beautiful and very well quipped and the gardens are glorious, wonderful to sit in and pretty to look at whatever the weather. We thoroughly recommend La Petite Maison and so does our dog Pepper!

Beautifully appointed and located stone gite
The property is as described in the details. In fact it's better! The hosts were a perfect blend of there when needed and showing discretion giving us space to enjoy our stay. Lovely spot in the Mayenne. A must see is a visit to Fougere and Domfront. Local villages are also worth a visit especially Lassay Le Chateau

4 jours merveilleux
"La petite maison" est un gite exceptionnel décoré avec beaucoup de goût. La literie est de très grande qualité, pas un bruit juste le chant des oiseaux, le souffle du vent, l'âme de la maison. Le jardin est le lieu idéal de déconnexion et est très bien équipé. L'accueil par les propriétaires Sandra et Hugues est très chaleureux, et ils sont à la fois présents et discrets.

Mooie omgeving voor vakantie met hond
We hebben een goed verblijf gehad, vriendelijke hosts, Het huisje is mooi, volledig ingericht en erg schoon.Het ligt in een zeer rustige landelijke omgeving. Daardoor is het een mooie plek voor een vakantie met de hond en heeft onze trouwe viervoeter het zeer naar haar zin gehad. Helaas hadden wij koud en regenachtig weer en konden daardoor (bijna) niet gebruik maken van de tuin (wel van de houtkachel). De tuin is prachtig, super groot en waar je met mooi weer heerlijk kunt vertoeven. Het huisje is authentiek, je waant je in een boerderijtje van 200 jaar geleden, kleine raampjes, en mooie lage balkenplafonds (oppassen voor je hoofd!) en niet erg groot. De wc is boven in de badkamer met een heerlijke regendouche! De bedden zijn niet al te breed (140 cm). Om de tuin te bereiken kan dit door de voordeur via een poortje of door de kelder. Beide trapjes zijn steil. Dit hadden wij niet goed bekeken bij het boeken, dus misschien handig om te weten. Lassay les Châteaux is een prachtig dorp, gezellig, mooi en authentiek. Ook de dorpjes Saint -Suzanne- Chammes, Domfront en Sant-Céneri-de-Gérei zijn geweldig. Een prachtige plek met heel veel rust, bijna geen verkeer en alleen zingende vogeltjes, zeer geschikt om te ontstressen.

Charmante petite maison
Logement très propre et correspondant bien à la description. Nous avons bien profité de la maison et de son jardin au calme. Les hôtes sont discrets et nous on laissé des petites attention avec la panier de bienvenue et des petites friandises pour notre chat. Lieu parfait pour passer un WE au vert et visiter la région.

Leuk gezellig huisje met bezienswaardigheden in de buurt. De laatste dag gingen we nog naar Domfort. Een aanrader. Het huisje is niet geschikt als je niet goed ter been bent want je er zijn verschillende trappen. Voor ons geen probleem we hebben er genoten.

wonderful
The stay in Chantrigné was wonderful. Sanda and Paul have prepared a very beautifully situated old stone house with a large lounge, lovely bathroom and two bedrooms for lovely holidaymakers. In the grounds behind the house table, chairs, deckchairs and with a small pond and lots of songbirds you could look out into the vast countryside in the evening and relax and also have breakfast in the morning (if the sun was shining). The surrounding area with small towns, cafés and opportunities for walking also adds to the relaxation. We would have liked to stay longer. The only critical point: the sun could have shone a little more often. Grit and Yves
