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.

A wonderful stay
Top notch. Not one thing to have a gripe with. Hosts were amazing, the property is very private, with a wonderful garden that works with nature rather than against. I have seen so many firsts here, its a stay we wont forget. The property is in an excellent location, with supermarkets close by, and within a short drive to many sights. Thank you for having us!! I hate to say this (as it will probably reduce the future availability) but couldn't recommend highly enough Thank you for having us.

Wunderbar!
Wir (zwei Erwachsene, drei Kinder 10, 12 und 14 Jahre alt) hatten eine wunderbare und erholsame Woche in Lessay! Die Wohnung ist einfach schön, man fühlt sich gleich zu Hause. Es ist alles da, was man braucht, vor allem alles sehr sauber, und Larry war ein sehr angenehmer Vermieter. Die Flyer in der Wohnung waren sehr hilfreich für unsere Planung und wir haben viel unternommen, sei es ein Ausflug zur Käserei in Lessay, D-Day-Strände, Mont Saint Michel , Lait Douceur de Normandie (die gesalzenen Karamellbonbons und das Caramou, ein Karamellaufstrich, haben Suchtpotential!), Barfleur, nicht zu vergessen die beeindruckende Kathedrale von Lessay, tolle Strände,... Abends wurde Tischtennis gespielt oder ein Besuch bei den Kühen direkt nebenan gemacht, ansonsten ist es sehr ruhig, der Garten ist wunderbar, genau richtig, um abends draußen noch ein Glas Wein zu genießen. Wir können die Wohnung uneingeschränkt weiterempfehlen und würden auch selbst nochmal wiederkommen. Danke, Larry, für die wunderbare Woche! M. P. aus Münster

Best French rental in over 25 years!
The restoration/conversion of the old farm buildings has been carried out with great care and the result is a beautifully comfortable and peaceful holiday home. The kitchen is spacious and well-equipped - my wife says it's the first French rental we've stayed in where the knives were sharp. The bedrooms are similarly spacious and light and the excellent bathroom is augmented by a downstairs shower-room. My wife and I, our eldest son and his partner, their 18-month daughter and - with the owners' permission - Irish lurcher Riley all had plenty of space and could relax in the comfortably furnished lounge.. The established garden is a delight. Adventurous dogs are probably best kept on the lead in the garden - the main temptation for Riley was to visit Larry in his kitchen. There are walks very close and the former railway line is not far way and runs through Lessay. All towels and bedding were provided, as was cleaning, which made our short break very easy. Hot water was constantly available and all electricity usage covered in the rental, so no meter reading rituals at the end of the holiday. Larry was in residence and was an unobtrusive but always helpful host. The countryside setting is peaceful but Lessay is minutes away by car and is well served by two supermarkets. A delightful vet - who speaks English if needed - has a small surgery opposite Intermarche. Beaches are easily reachable by car - Riley and our granddaughter enjoyed St Germain, Agon-Coutanville and Pirou. As our holiday was short we needed somewhere not too far from Cherbourg and this property was ideal - I hour away and we broke each journey at Valognes. Coutances with its superb cathedral and gardens, one of our favourite places, is easily accessible. Larry and Lesley's property was a real find - it gave us a perfect family spring break and I cannot recommend it highly enough - I would happily have stayed there all summer. Hope it's not fully booked when we try to return!

Entspannte Ferien nahe Lessay
Wir (3 Erwachsene + Hund) haben unseren Urlaub bei Lesley und Larry sehr genossen! Das sehr gepflegte Ferienhaus ist liebevoll und praktisch eingerichtet, wir haben nichts vermisst. Auch unser Schafpudel Nelson hat sich sehr wohlgefühlt und in dem großzügigen Garten immer ein schattiges Plätzchen gefunden. Larry war ein sehr aufmerksamer Gastgeber, der sich immer wieder erkundigte, ob alles in Ordnung sei und uns mit den Nachrichten des Tages versorgte. Es ist ein idealer Ausgangspunkt zu den oft menschenleeren Stränden und vielen schönen Orten an den Cotentin-Küsten. Wir haben uns sehr wohlgefühlt und kommen gerne wieder :)
