About this property

Peaceful Cottage Near Carentan, Normandy

La Grairie is set in a small hamlet on the edge of St Georges de Bohon. We are surrounded by fields and networks of quiet and unspoilt lanes which make it a delightful place for walking, cycling, or just going for a wander. It is a great place to relax and unwind in the peaceful surroundings. As well as many beautiful beaches and historic towns within easy reach, the area is rich in D-Day history.
The cottage is detached and adjacent to the owner’s house - we are on hand to help should you need it, but certainly not to intrude. La Grairie is less than 10 minutes (7km) from Carentan where all amenities can be found and a good selection of shops and several large supermarkets.
We provide a welcome pack which includes some essential items like tea bags, milk and bread, as well as some locally-produced camembert and cider from our orchard.

Downstairs is the open-plan living area which leads out to the private and enclosed back garden. Upstairs there are 3 bedrooms, sleeping 6 (2 doubles and a twin room), and a bathroom with shower cubicle.
Outside, there is seating for 6 people, and we provide a BBQ with a bucket of charcoal. To help you relax, there are two sun-loungers to take a snooze on.

The garden overlooks the orchard, where you are free to wander and maybe meet our three ponies and three friendly goats.

Whether you spend your time out and about, enjoying some of the many attractions the area has to offer, or just prefer lazy days, relaxing in the garden, there really is something for everyone at La Grairie!

Fantastic gite and holiday
We had an amazing week. Helen's generosity with the welcome pack, fresh flowers throughout the week and homemade biscuits was a lovely surprise. Helen was so friendly and helpful with her recommendations. A week wasn't long enough as there was so much to do in the area. We would definitely want to stay again.

A week long family holiday
This was a wonderful holiday that we can not fault in any way. From the location of the property, to the generosity of Helen and Steve, this was perfect for us. We are already planning our return trip.

A place of peaceful comfort and warm hosts
A wonderful place to stay. The gite had everything we needed and was set in tranquil surroundings. Just what we city folk needed! The goats and ponies in the orchard were a great hit with my granddaughter who was allowed to feed them with the carrots left out every morning. Wonderful long and sandy beaches were a short car journey away - our hosts recommended Carteret which was outstanding: crystal clean water and spacious beaches with excellent facilities and free parking. We visited Coutance - a nearby town - and looked around the breathtaking medieval, cathedral. Coutance had smart shops and good restaurants. On the way home via Eurotunnel, our host Helen recommended stopping at Honfleur. What a city! Full of interesting art shops, great restaurants and ancient medieval houses . Our two very friendly hosts, Helen and Steve, were always on hand to offer advice. I'd thoroughly recommend this gite and we all hope to return..

Wonderful holiday
Helen and Steve provided a fabulous base for our holiday. Comfortable, cosy, well equipped and safe accommodation for our family. We were welcomed and spoiled with daily treats from Helen. Our granddaughter Poppy fell in love with the goats and ponies, lucky animals to be cared for so well by their owners! St Georges du Bohn is a good location to explore the countryside of Normandy. We would recommend a stay here without reservation.
