Holiday destination
We are situated in the heart of beautiful, peaceful countryside, about 45 mins from Cherbourg on the west coast of the Cotentin peninsula opposite Jersey. We have two self-catering holiday cottages (Gites) – La boulagerie and La Bergerie. Our farm is in a charming and secluded just outside a typical Norman village with a good baker. The garden is enclosed so children can play in safety. The gitesare close to uncrowded sandy beaches only 3km from our farm, and ideally placed for visiting Mont St Michel, Bayeux, and the Landing Beaches, or maybe house hunting in the Cotentin area. The attractive market towns of La Haye du Puits and Portbail, 8km and 4km away, have a good selection of local shops and restaurants as well as supermarkets. If you are a fan of French street markets there is one available every day within easy driving distance. There are many fetes, fairs and festivals during the year (see our events page), or you might just want to enjoy the tranquillity & beauty of the surrounding countryside.
