Home description
Set on the edge of an apple orchard amidst the rolling Normandie countryside, our old cider barn has been renovated to a high standard and comes well equipped for your holiday needs. The two bedrooms can easily hold up to 5 people and a baby and are situated on the upper floor of the cottage along with the shower room and toilet. The ground floor consists of a fully functioning kitchen with a dining area and a living room with a wood burning stove. We are in a rural area and apart from the odd tractor we do not get much traffic along the lanes - ideal for that quiet get-away!

The Normandy / Manche region
The La Manche area of Normandie is host to many wonderful tourist attractions. The cottage is situated just 25 minutes from safe, sandy beaches. Mussel and oyster beds abound along the west coast and the historic abbey of Mont St. Michel can be seen seemingly floating out in the bay. On the east coast the WW2 Normandy landing beaches and numerous museums, memorials, cemeteries and the Bayeux tapestry can easily be found.
The area is renowned for its fruit de mer (shellfish platters), oysters and mussels. You will be spoilt for choice with the many restaurants available, whether you prefer steak, fish, galettes - all can be found within easy reach.
Percy area
Percy is 2 miles away from the cottage and contains a good selection of shops including boulangeries, charcuteries, petrol stations, banks and a good supermarket. The nearby historic medieval town of Villedieu-les-Poeles is famed for its copper and pewter industry and only miles away. It has several good restaurants, a Tuesday morning market and many interesting museums where you can see traditional Norman furniture and pewter and copperware pots being made. Several rivers flow through this part of Normandie and you can walk/cycle/canoe or ride along the towpath of the river Vire - only a 20 minute drive from the cottage. Normandie is also home to many horse studs (St. Lo being the nearest). There are lots of local riding schools in the area, Hambe and Gavray being two of the nearest but if you wish you can hack along the local beaches at Les Salines when the tide is out - lovely.
