La Douve - 3 bedroom luxury cottage for family or friends
La Douve
A superb and spacious 3 bed cottage designed for families and Friends
3 bedrooms, with 3 fabulous en suite shower rooms...feel the 5 star hotel quality!
Delightful gardens, wood burner and great place to discover Normandy from.
The interior decoration has been carried out with love and a touch of theatre by the owner Mr Daniel Parker, a BAFTA award winning and oscar nominated make-up artist for the film industry. The result are a delightful cottage full of personality and wonderful attention to detail.
A solid oak front door opens into a large open plan room with a rare example of a perfectly preserved ancient Norman inglenook fireplace as centre piece. Complete with fireside snug, farmhouse style dining table and chairs and a fully equipped thoroughly modern kitchen cleverly harmonised with the original architectural elements of the building, this room truly feels like the heart of the home and combines the living and dining area with fully equipped kitchen (dishwasher, hob & microwave oven), TV/DVD.
The second ground floor room provides a flexible bedroom space depending on your group requirements, and can be configured as a double or twin en suite bedroom with a very high quality zip together bed base and mattresses. The room has a charming rustic atmosphere, with exposed stonework and timbers. The doors to this room have been widened for wheelchair access if necessary.
A wooden staircase from the main living area takes you to a small galleried landing leading to two further bedrooms.
The “Blue Bedroom “ is the largest upstairs room with a double bed and luxurious en suite shower room.
The “Green Bedroom” has a double bed and luxurious en suite shower room.
The peaceful atmosphere of the bedrooms is accentuated by high ceilings with exposed beams, a combination of natural stone and Farrow & Ball painted walls, the play of light from large south facing dormer windows, with views towards ornamental cherry trees and a traditional apple orchard in the distance.
Outside and downstairs at the rear of the cottage there is a sun terrace with picnic table and BBQ area and a beautiful well-maintained flower garden and lawn area
The cottage is equipped with Wi-Fi and has thermostatic heaters throughout, along with good quality insulation and windows for all year round letting.
There is plenty of parking space outside and a shared laundry facility in a separate outbuilding adjoining the cottage.

Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Daniel Parker

Daniel fell in love with the area whilst working on the HBO Band of Brothers series in 2000, part of which describes the D-day landings on nearby Utah beach and the subsequent battle for the peninsular which is now my home. The peacefulness of the countryside and the emptiness of the local beaches combined with a way of life that has changed little over the last few hundred years makes it ideal retreat from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Because of Daniels' work in film production, his work schedule can be quite hectic and unpredictable and Manuela works as an Ayurvedic doctor in her Berlin based clinic and is a top and acupuncturist also takes her around the world as an international specialist. It is usually with a huge sigh of relief that both he and Manuela return to my peaceful haven to unwind! We hope you will enjoy the farm and the surroundings as much as we do, & whilst we live on site, rest assured your cottage have their own private spaces.
Why they chose this property
The area being so beautiful and the potential of the property and grounds was too good an opportunity to pass up, it has taken a long time, but it has been worth it, I hope you enjoy the place as much as we do!
What makes this property unique
The property is tucked away in a tiny hamlet of its own, extremely private and off the beaten track, although close to the local network of cycleways and a short drive to local shops/bakery and restaurants. And the beaches are fantastic, again just a short drive, and then of course the whole area is steeped in history from the Vikings to WWII and the D-day landings. Please remember that we also accept dogs (up to 2 per booking) to share your relaxing walks with... with the entire family ; )
