Facilities

Further details indoors:
Our detached guesthouse is ideal both for a romantic getaway for couples, a small family of three or for friends or siblings. It has been recently renovated in authentic Norman style with modern conveniences. Our village, was named after Mont St Michel by the ancient pilgrims who stayed in the church here en route there, as they could see the magnificent sanctuary rising from the bay in the distance. The viewing point with its old granite features is just opposite the church, and the village also features a granite museum depicting the ancient art of harvesting granite from the local area, much as it still is today. The quaint village shop, just 300 metres from your cottage is open until 8 pm most days, except Sundays, for morning croissants, baguettes, fresh fruits and vegetables, wine and cider.

Further details outdoors:
Our quaint cottage, a converted pressoir, features its own small private garden with parking barbeque, and garden furniture, bordered by a long drive, with large well-landscaped gardens which features two ponds, and a waterfall, with the main house just opposite.

“Comfortable, well appointed gite in beautiful countryside” We had a wonderful break here. The gite is very well appointed and has everything you need for a self-catering holiday. Robert and Karen were excellent, welcoming hosts. Michel de Montjoie is set in particulalrly beautiful Normandy countryside - rolling hills and steep valleys dotted with small farmsteads, beech hedges and tiny apple orchards. If you have a car (we rented one locally), the gite is well situated for day trips to Bayeux or Mont St MIchel, or to markets in local towns such as Brecey and Vire. You can buy most groceries and vegetables at the nearby shop, but larger supermarkets are a short drive away. The gite is very peaceful and relaxing and the new deck area provides a quiet place to eat, read, or just sit, looking out over the fields towards Mont St Michel, with a little stream running by.
