About this cottage rental

La Grairie is set in a small hamlet on the edge of St Georges de Bohon. We are surrounded by fields and networks of quiet and unspoilt lanes which make it a delightful place for walking, cycling, or just going for a wander. It is a great place to relax and unwind in the peaceful surroundings. As well as many beautiful beaches and historic towns within easy reach, the area is rich in D-Day history.
The cottage is detached and adjacent to the owner’s house - we are on hand to help should you need it, but certainly not to intrude. La Grairie is less than 10 minutes (7km) from Carentan where all amenities can be found and a good selection of shops and several large supermarkets.
We provide a welcome pack which includes some essential items like tea bags, milk and bread, as well as some locally-produced camembert and cider from our orchard.

Downstairs is the open-plan living area which leads out to the private and enclosed back garden. Upstairs there are 3 bedrooms, sleeping 6 (2 doubles and a twin room), and a bathroom with shower cubicle.
Outside, there is seating for 6 people, and we provide a BBQ with a bucket of charcoal. To help you relax, there are two sun-loungers to take a snooze on.

The garden overlooks the orchard, where you are free to wander and maybe meet our three ponies and three friendly goats.

Whether you spend your time out and about, enjoying some of the many attractions the area has to offer, or just prefer lazy days, relaxing in the garden, there really is something for everyone at La Grairie!

    We had an amazing week. Helen's generosity with the welcome pack, fresh flowers throughout the week and homemade biscuits was a lovely surprise. Helen was so friendly and helpful with her recommendations. A week wasn't long enough as there was so much to do in the area. We would definitely want to stay again.

    Wonderful! Everything we wanted and more! Our boys just graduated and were getting ready to go off to college. We were traveling to France, Italy, and Germany. This location was amazing! Located in a small French town but with all the amenities as well as close to beaches and sights. We had more fun shopping for food while out all day and then returning home to eat in the beautiful gardens. We woke early each morning to feed the small horses and goats just for fun. The two-hour walk around the countryside suggested by the owners was amazing! You would think all of it would have been a little quiet for three teen boys but they loved every minute of the relaxing atmosphere. Helen was wonderful! She checked in with us quite a few times before leaving the USA as well as sent a large package of all the activities and sights nearby for our boys to get excited about. By the time we met Helen, we felt like family. Helen and Steve gave us the holiday of our dreams. Our boys still talk about the goats and the horses as well as the bakery vending machines on the street corners. Thank you Helen and Steve, we think of you with very fond memories. Small note...You do need a car to get around in this part of France.

    A wonderful place to stay. The gite had everything we needed and was set in tranquil surroundings. Just what we city folk needed! The goats and ponies in the orchard were a great hit with my granddaughter who was allowed to feed them with the carrots left out every morning. Wonderful long and sandy beaches were a short car journey away - our hosts recommended Carteret which was outstanding: crystal clean water and spacious beaches with excellent facilities and free parking. We visited Coutance - a nearby town - and looked around the breathtaking medieval, cathedral. Coutance had smart shops and good restaurants. On the way home via Eurotunnel, our host Helen recommended stopping at Honfleur. What a city! Full of interesting art shops, great restaurants and ancient medieval houses . Our two very friendly hosts, Helen and Steve, were always on hand to offer advice. I'd thoroughly recommend this gite and we all hope to return..

    Helen and Steve provided a fabulous base for our holiday. Comfortable, cosy, well equipped and safe accommodation for our family. We were welcomed and spoiled with daily treats from Helen. Our granddaughter Poppy fell in love with the goats and ponies, lucky animals to be cared for so well by their owners! St Georges du Bohn is a good location to explore the countryside of Normandy. We would recommend a stay here without reservation.

    Fabulous two week stay in a lovely location not far from Carentan. Helen and Steve are the owners who live adjacent but are discreet, helpful and friendly. The whole family really enjoyed the peacefulness and sunshine. For astronomers, we spent several nights under ink dark sky conditions from the back garden and had access to an open field for clear 360 degree viewing. Helen joined us for one evening and I think she will never forget viewing Saturn. For all the curious, bring your binoculars. The Douve boat trip was fabulous and an idyllic way to pass an afternoon, bookable in Carentan. Thoroughly recommend this cottage.
