Lovely cottage in a good location
A very well equipped and clean cottage located in the countryside about 2km from the small town of Lessay. The cottage has a huge garden with wildlife and courtyard ponds. We had good weather but should the weather not be so favourable there is barn with a pool table, dart board, and table tennis. We took our own bikes but the owners also provide some bikes (and a bike trailer for small children) as the nearest Voie Verte cycle route is just down the road (this runs from Mont St Michel to Cherbourg). Loads of wildlife (frogs, hares, birds and stoats) to spot too.
The owners (Larry & Lesley) live on site in the neighbouring farm house and were really friendly and helpful without being intrusive. They provided a lot of information on places to visit and things to do.
The property is ideally located for those wishing to explore the beaches (Port Baie, Gouville-sur-Mer), WW2 sites (Utah & Omaha beaches), and countryside of the Cotentin peninsula (by bike and on foot) as well as for trips further a field to Jersey (there is a passenger ferry that leaves from Carteret about 30 minutes drive away), Mont St Michel, Granville and Cherbourg.
The small town of Lessay has three bakeries and a good butchers shop, all of which are highly recommended. There are Intermarché & Lidl supermarkets located just outside the town.
Highly recommended, both in terms of the property and location, and we would definitely consider a return visit.
