Gîte du parc

(4 people)

This south facing gîte is an all day sun trap with private terrace running the length of the building. Although built of local stone in 1800 the layout bears more than a passing resemblance to the longierre style of cottages of Haute Normandy. Looking at the cottage from the left you will find, fully fitted kitchen with cooker, dishwasher, washing machine, microwave, coffee maker and a breakfast table. French windows open onto the terrace. The kitchen leads into the dining room. The living room is equipped with satellite color tv with all the main English channels and has an open fireplace, (logs can be bought in cooler months). French windows lead out onto the terrace from the dining room. A door to the right leads into a double bedroom decorated and furnished in classic rustic Normandy French style. This in turn leads straight into the bathroom with bath/shower wc, wash basin and bidet. At the very end of the cottage is a small living room which has a three seater and two seater sofa. A steep staircase leads to the upstairs twin bedroom, with its velux window affording a spectacular view across the the garden to the river Vire.

The real living room in this charming Normandy dwelling is the outside terrace. The cottage has its own private terrace and delightful enclosed garden and the river Vire runs alongside. Because of the river being so close, children and small pets must be supervised.

The owner lives nearby and is on hand to make guests welcome. This cottage also has its own parking spaces.
