Please note that our property will be available for rent from February 2009. The ground floor is open plan with a well equipped kitchen. The lounge is ideal for relaxing in front of the Villager fire whilst watching one of the many up to date DVDs on the flat screen TV. If you want to catch up on your favorite soap that isn't a problem, as we pick up English channels via Jersey. There is also a DAB radio with iPod docking. You can choose to take your meals at the breakfast bar, at the coffee table in front of the TV, or from the fold away dining table. The spiral staircase takes you to your bathroom and bedroom. The soft lighting creates a warm romantic glow once the sun goes down! After a long day sightseeing or just lazing on the nearby beach, make the most of the corner bath - which is big enough for two! Light the candles, and enjoy the complementary bath products, as well as the bathside bottle of bubbly. A king-size bed, quality bedding and pillows ensure a good nights sleep.

Accessibility
Our gite is unsuitable for the infirm or disabled guest due to the spiral staircase leading to the mezzanine. We kindly ask guests not to smoke inside the gite. Sorry but no pets allowed. Helpful yet unobtrusive English owners live on site.
Outside
Outside you will find a small yet private patio garden, a great place for morning coffee or dinner on a warm evening, it comes complete with a large stone barbecue, your first pack of coals is on us!
Coast/Beach
The whole of the west coast of the Cherbourg peninsula is pretty much one long beach. It's just under a 10 minute drive to a vast and deserted beach, where you can collect your own shellfish at lowtide. On a clear day you can even make out houses on Jersey from the beach.
Golf
30 minutes away.
Travel
The ferry ports of Cherbourg and Caen are 50 minutes and 1 hour 45 minutes away respectively. Both are served by Brittany Ferries, we are able to off a small discount on your crossing if with them. The nearest airport is Dinard and is 2 hours away, it is possible to book a hire car to be waiting for you at the airport. Although we are only 2km from town we feel that a car is essential, unless of course you are planning a biking holiday.
Distances
By Car:- Lessay town 2 mins. Coutance 25 mins. Beach 10 mins. Bayeux Tapestry 1 hour. Mont St Michel 1.5 hours. Start of DD Landing beaches 50 mins. Portbail 15mins.
Further details
The Manche area of Normandy is a gentle and peaceful region, perfect to explore at your leisure. From a simple stroll down the lane into the forest, or a more energetic ride to the beach on the tandem. The abbey town of Lessay is only 3 minutes away by car and has everything you should need, a good choice of shops and an excellent supermarket. The abbey is famous throughout France and well worth a visit. In early September the fair of St Croix is held over three days; said to have been started by the monks over a thousand years ago; you can buy anything from a cow to a washing up bowl! The stunning (and empty) west coast beaches are less then ten minutes away by car. The D Day landing beaches and American cemetery, as well as Mont St Michel both make good day trips; the mediaeval town of Bayeux and the world famous tapestry is under an hour and a half away. You can even catch the train to Paris for that extra touch of romance. There are several other small towns within a 10/15 minute drive of the gite along with a good choice of places to eat. You will find lots more information on the region in our information pack. Our gite is the perfect 'away from it all' destination at any time of the year, but we think autumn and winter time is special, even if it rains!

Non refundable deposit of 25% with completed booking form balance six weeks before arrival date. Final clean £30 (optional). We do not charge a breakage deposit, preferring to trust our guests to tell us if anything requires replacing.
