About this cottage rental

This cosy detached cottage is set in the beautiful rolling hills of the Normandy countryside, perfect for a real retreat and a relaxing holiday. Situated in a rural spot, but very accessible to the A84 (5 mins drive) for visiting the many tourist destinations of Normandy with ease. The cottage is rustic and simply renovated to provide a tranquil space yet is clean, comfortable and has all the basic necessities.

The cottage is all on one level, open-plan with exposed old stone walls. The main door enters into a lounge area with corner kitchen. Off the main room to the left is a double bedroom. Off the main room to the right, and down one step, there is a hallway giving access to a clean, compact shower room (consisting of new fittings of shower, washbasin & WC), and also another room which can be used as a bedroom and has a single bed (there is no external window in this room).

Wifi is available, so you can bring your tablet/computer (no TV in cottage). From the terrace you can sit and enjoy nature, perhaps with a cake from the local patisserie (5 mins drive) or with a glass of local Calvados (apple brandy) or speciality Normandy cider.

The cottage is set in peaceful countryside on the border of Manche and Calvados in Lower Normandy. It is ideally situated for day trips to the many tourist attractions, including Mont St Michel (World Heritage Site), The Normandy Landing beaches and war museums & memorials, the Bayeux tapestry, Coutances cathedral, Caen and Rennes city centres, the scenic villages and landscapes of Swiss Normandy, the Bell Foundry at Villedieu-les-Poeles, the beautiful Cotentin coastline, the Chanel gardens in Granville, also for day trips to Jersey, amongst others.

Sheets are provided. Please bring your own towels (we can provide towels at a small extra charge if required - please ask when booking). There is a heating/services supplement for all bookings except July and August.

Ideal for couples or two friends/relatives who want a relaxing peaceful, holiday. Also suitable for a couple (or one parent) with one child. Great for bird life, rainbows, fishing in the nearby stream, and of course visiting all the tourist sites with easy access to main routes.

Distance from the ferry ports: Caen it is about 55 mins drive; Cherbourg - just over an hour; Le harvre - 1 hour 50 mins drive; Dieppe 2.5 hours drive.

    We enjoyed our stay at this cosy cottage. The location was ideal and everything we could have asked for. It was so tranquil and made us appreciate the countryside even more! The communication was excellent throughout, and Karen was on hand to answer any questions. Thank you for ensuring that our stay was pleasant, Karen. We hope to book again next year!

    The cottage was very cosy with everything we needed for a weeks stay,. Karen was a very good and knowledgeable host and advised us on places to visit. The garden was lovely and we enjoyed sitting out with a glass of wine after a busy day. The cottage is in a very quiet location . Although easy to get around. We traveled with our dog who was made very welcome. Thank you Karen

    This is a delightful rustic cottage is a quiet and beautiful rural setting - yet only 5 minutes from motorway which connects to all the towns and tourist sites in Normandy. No TV but really excellent wi-fi so we were able to stream and watch programmes on our laptop in the evenings. Karen is lovely and very helpful - and the garden is a delight!

    My 9 year old daughter and I had the opportunity to stay in this wonderful cottage. Karen was an exceptional host and we had everything we needed. It is in the perfect location for exploring this beautiful area. The cottage was so relaxing after exploring all day. We were so sad to have to leave!

    Entzückendes Cottage im Herzen der Normandie

    Das St. Michels Cottage hat alles, was man für einen schönen Urlaub braucht. Klein, aber mit viel Liebe zum Detail eingerichtet. Wir (2 Personen) habe uns mit unserem Hund sehr wohl gefühlt und haben nichts vermisst. Nahezu alle Sehenswürdigkeiten und Strände der Normandie sind über Tagesausflüge von dort aus erreichbar. Bäckerei, Bank, Apotheke, Bar und Supermarkt sind in wenigen Kilometern ebenfalls erreichbar. Trotzdem befindet man sich auf dem Land und hat seine Ruhe. Im Garten und auf der kleinen Terrasse kann man abends gemütlich sitzen und den Tag ausklingen lassen.
