Location:

The property is about 5 mins from Isigny-le-Buat where there is a bank, supermarkets, restaurants, newsagents, doctors and vets surgeries and a school.  The nearest large town, St Hilaire du Harcouet also happens to be a particularly popular one due to the variety of shops, restaurants and cafes in the town.  Here there is also a swimming pool and hospital.  

Mont St Michel is just 25 mins away and the beaches just 5 mins beyond, so ideal for day trips.  The popular market towns of Fougères, Avranches, St James and Vire are all also within easy reach.  Fougères has a particularly lovely lake with beach and the train stations at Avranches, Vire, Vitré, Flers and Laval all have train services to Paris that can get you to the capital in around 2.5 hours.  The Caen ferry port is a 1hr 15 min drive and airports at Dinard and Rennes are about an hours away.
