Self catering cottage in the heart of the Normandy countryside

Accommodation

The lounge / kitchen is spacious, with beamed ceiling and wooden flooring. The room is purpose designed and does not, unlike many gites, have to double as a sleeping area. So it is possible to watch television when others have gone to bed. There is both French television (useful for watching the weather forecast!) and many English channels (via satellite). In addition there is a DVD for your use.

The windows are double glazed, with shutters for use if you like a dark bedroom. There are electric heating convectors (wall mounted, with heat level thermostats) for the cold seasons.

There is one bedroom downstairs, with shower/toilet adjacent, so if anyone in your group is older or less mobile, it is very convenient. There is a feature spiral staircase leading from that bedroom to another upstairs, which is especially light and spacious. There you will find a sound centre for your audio cassettes or CDs.

If greater privacy is required, there is a third double bedroom in the room above the lounge, which is accessed via an open tread straight staircase. There is a bathroom/toilet adjacent.
