Farmhouse B&B.

La Tringale was built in 1820 and was a working farm for many years. Until recently it had been the home of 3 generations of the same family, some of whom still live locally. Ron & Bunty arrived from Norwich, England in August 2002 and immediately commenced work on renovating the main farmhouse and the attached cottage. Renovation work to the long barn and the very large barn will also be undertaken to make 6 Gites in all.

The village of St Clair sur Elle is close by and offers bar/restaurant (pizza night on Tuesdays!), butcher, supermarket, baker, garage, post office, doctor’s surgery, chemist, bank, 2 hairdressers and a small market on Tuesdays. St.Lo, situated approximately 18k south-west of La Tringale, is the nearest main town with good shopping, leisure facilities and restaurants and a Saturday morning market. For horse lovers it is also the most important of the 23 national studs and specializes in breeds such as Norman cobs, Trotters and French saddle horses – stables and courtyards open to visitors June to September.
