Countryside gites near sandy beaches

We are situated in the heart of beautiful, peaceful countryside, about 45 mins from Cherbourg on the west coast of the Cotentin peninsula. We have three self-catering cottages (Gîtes) - Stable Cottage,Chèvrefeuille and Jasmin, all of which are described later. Our farm is a veritable haven of peace and tranquillity where children can play in safety. We are only 6km from beautiful sandy beaches, and ideally placed for visiting Mont St Michel, Bayeux, and the Landing Beaches. The attractive market town of La Haye du Puits, 8km away, has all the shops you need, including two supermarkets. If you are a fan of French street markets there is one available every day within easy driving distance.

We have swings, a selection of bicycles, and table tennis available on site. Other sporting and leisure activities available nearby include; tennis; golf; horse riding; canoeing; windsurfing; sailing; carting and ice-skating. There is now a network of cycle routes going to La Haye du Puits and Coutances in one direction, and Portbail and Briquebec in the other, all of which can be joined very close to the house.

We are situated within the Parc des Marais and have a wealth of information available on local fauna and flora, binoculars for observing local bird life, and an 8km round walk. This starts from our house, going via the Mont de Doville and along the marshes, before returning.
