About this property

This charming studio-style gite is situated next to a 16th century cottage in a secluded, rural location yet only 5 minutes from the nearest village of Sainte-Mere-Eglise. There is a good-sized living/dining area with open-plan kitchen overlooking the garden, itself overlooking an apple orchard regularly occupied by our neighbour's livestock. Beautiful sandy beaches within 8 miles including D-Day landing beaches. The National Parks offer bird-watching, fishing and other rural pursuits. This is an ideal spot from which to explore the delights of Normandy: Bayeux, Coutances, St-Lo, Sainte-Marie-du-Mont and Barfleur are just some of the places within easy reach. There are thriving local markets on most days of the week.

Sejour au calme

Tres bon accueil, malgré notre retard. Au debut, on se dit que c est un peu spartiate, mais finalement on est bien. Il y a tout ce qu il faut en équipement et produits menagers. Pas un bruit la nuit. Le canape lit du salon est tres confortable. Par contre la chambre du haut est vraiment tres basse de plafond, convient à un enfant de 6-12 ans. Ma fille de 8 ans a préféré dormir avec moi en bas (mais c est un pot de colle ;-). La proprietaire est disponible mais pas du tout envahissante, son chien (une sorte de croise cocker) est adorable, tres calin (elle peut le laisser dans sa maison quand on est dans le jardin), il s est tres bien entendu avec notre chienne.

Sommer in der Normandie

Wir haben den Aufenthalt in der Normandie sehr genossen. Sharon ist eine sehr aufmerksame und sympatische Gastgeberin und ihr Garten ist sehr schön. Der Standort des Feriendomiziels ist ideal um das ganze Cotentin kennenzulernen. Wir haben fast alle Orte mit dem Fahrrad erreichen können. Es gibt überall kleine Straßen, auf denen uns nur selten Autos begegnet sind. Große Straßen sollte man aber mit dem Fahrrad meiden. Die Abwechslung zwischen Strand, Kultur und historischen Gedenkstätten hat uns gut gefallen.

leuke vakantieplek

Deze accommodatie is gelegen in een oase van rust tenmidden van de natuur, en toch niet ver weg van het dorp.Ideale uitvalsbasis om de landingsstranden te ontdekken. Basic acommodatie, maar goed uitgerust. Mevrouw Sharon is een hele leuke dame en altijd beschikbaar voor vragen. We waren heel erg welkom met ons hondje. Die kon trouwens vrij rondlopen in de omheinde tuin samen met haar hond. De 2 Bailey's beleefden een fijne tijd samen in de tuin. Wij hadden het er erg naar onze zin en keren heeeeeel graag terug naar dat kleine paradijsje. Sharon, bedankt om ons zo hartelijk te ontvangen. We voelden ons bij u helemaal thuis en komen graag terug. Dikke knuffel aan Bailey !

About the host

Hosted by Sharon Quinby

We love the slower pace and attitude to life in rural France and enjoy sharing that with our guests.

Why they chose this property

It was love at first sight even though the cottage was crumbling and the garden a jumble of weeds and rubble. The garden's starting to take shape as trees and shrubs begin to mature and every year brings a new plan together. I'm hoping for a wildlife pond this year - if only I can decide where to place it!
