Le Courtil 3*

A short distance from birdwatching, wildlife walks, and more, this family-friendly vacation home lets you experience it all. Thanks to the convenient onsite parking, you can either leave your vehicle behind and let your feet make short work of the 8-minute walk to Abbey of Cerisy-la-Foret, or easily tackle the 8-minute drive to Château de Balleroy.

Relax in the garden (enjoy the outdoor furniture!) or sip a drink on the deck or patio of this 807-sq-ft vacation home. When you come inside, connect to the free WiFi or get cozy in front of the cable/satellite TV (video library available). There's also table tennis and a stereo for your enjoyment.

As you settle into this 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom rental, you'll find a living room, a dining area, a BBQ grill, and a safe. Bathroom amenities include a hair dryer, towels, and toilet paper. Prepare a home-cooked meal in the kitchen, complete with an oven, a stovetop, and a refrigerator, as well as a coffee maker, an electric kettle, and a microwave. And thanks to the washer and dryer, you'll even be able to travel light.
