Renovated in 2005, this pretty little gite is fully self contained. It is set in an acre and a half of Normandy country side, with small farms on all sides, however, Avranches, the major town in the area, is but a short drive away.
It can sleep 2/4, so it is ideal for 2 couples or a small family.
Travelling there is easy, as it is just over 1 hour from the ferry ports of St Malo and Caen, and slightly longer from Cherbourg and Le Havre. Dinard and Rennes airports are an hour away. The superb French motorways make using the short sea crossings to Calais or Boulogne feasible, thus enabling the thrifty traveller to take full advantage of the cheaper ferry crossings.

The fully equipped kitchen, has gas hob, microwave, fridge with small freezer and dishwasher. The keen cook will find a good selection of kitchen tools, saucepans etc and there is plenty of crockery, cutlery and glasses.

In the dining area, there is a table and sufficient chairs to seat four.
For entertainment, we have a satellite TV which receives English TV and radio programmes, and a DVD/CD player, so bring your favourites with you.
A well stocked library of English and French paper back books is available to borrow and there is a selection of guide books and games. The guest book lists some of our favourite restaurants, and we would be delighted if you would add to the list.

The comfortable sofa bed can sleep 2 people.

On the first floor there is a twin bedded room, with an ensuite shower room and separate WC with hand basin.
As the building is well insulated, it is delightfully cool in summer, and easily heated in winter thus allowing for all year occupation.

In front of the gite you will find a table and chairs, for al fresco eating and there is also a barbecue.

There is ample car parking.

This area is idyllic for walking and cycling, and there are many marked routes.
Mont St Michel is visible just over the ridge and can be reached in 30-40 minutes.
Avranches has a museum which contains the manuscripts from Mont St Michel and the skull of St Aubin, who built the monastery.
Bayeux, with its world famous tapestry is a short drive up the A84 towards Caen, and can be combined with a visit to the Normandy Landing Beaches.
The more energetic are well catered for. There are numerous golf courses within an easy drive, sailing, sand yachting, horse riding, go carting or for the really adventurous, a micro light trip around the bay of Mont St Michel.
The gently sloping sandy beaches are ideal for small children, and the adults will be delighted with the many wonderful restaurants. We provide a list of recommendations for all price ranges. France?s premier salmon fishing river is close and in season, licences may be bought in the local shops. Avranches and Brecey have swimming pools; there is a zoo at nearby Champrepus, St Malo and Granville have casinos and many chic boutiques.
All the surrounding towns have market days, where superb provisions can be bought. Freshly caught fish and shell fish, local cheeses and cream, flavoursome chicken, ducks, and locally raised meat.
