We had a lovely stay in Mortain. The location was easy to find as google maps sent us straight to the house even though it was off the beaten track.
The house was spacious and had plenty of outside space our nearest neighbours being a field of cows. The cellar with table tennis table and pool table were a bonus as was the washing machine and dryer (also in the cellar).
The beds were reasonably comfortable - the double bed being a bit on the hard side for me personally.
Kitchen easy to use. It could do with a few more chopping boards but otherwise well equipped. The living room was comfortable.
We couldn't get on with the WiFi dongle. If you want very good WiFi then this isn't the place for you.
We had a nice meal in the hotel de la Poste and a good pizza takeaway from les Cascades in Mortain. There was a reasonably big Carrefour supermarket in Mortain.
Visiting the sites (Bayeux Tapestry, Normandy Beaches, Mont-st-Michel for example) were day trips which we knew in advance, but the roads were good and not busy.
Nearby attractions: The Musee due Poire in Barenton was good. We went on the cascades walk in Mortain and the La Fosse Arhour walk near Lonlay-l'Abbaye. We bought biscuits from the biscuit factory in Lonlay-l'Abbaye. Overal a lovely week.
