This lovely cottage built in stone with a slate roof nestles in a very quiet country lane with stunning views down the Vire Valley. Only 3.5km from the market town of Tessy Sur Vire, and a short drive from the Normandy beaches, it is the perfect spot for a family holiday.
The gite has one double bed room, a twin room with bunk beds, and a large family bed room, with a double bed, and two single beds.
Down stairs are a large lounge with arm chairs and sofas, where you can watch English satellite tv, or listen to music on the CD player.
The kitchen dinning room has a farmhouse dinning table that sits 8, and the newly fitted kitchen has all you need, even a dishwasher.
Outside is a garden and patio area, with an above ground pool, and a range of tables and chairs. There is ample parking for two cars. a bbq is also provided.
The Old Creamery is close to the market town of Tessy Sur Vire, which sits astride the River Vire. There is a tow path to walk along, to St lo in the north and Vire in the south, and fishing permits are easy to purchase, and enjoy the excellent sport. At Pont Farcy ( 3km from the gite ) you can go on a half or full day canoe trip down river, a great day out, in lovely country side. The bungee jump site of a j hackett is only 10 minutes drive, with a 100km zip line, and a family adventure course through the tree tops, and the not to be missed devil carts! Very fast, and not just for kids!
There is two local zoos well worth a visit, and of course you are only a short drive from the not to be missed sites of Mont St Micheal, and the bayeaux tapestry, which tells the story of William the conquers invasion of England in 1066, and the battle of Hastings.
The cottage is of course in the middle of the battle of Normandy battlefield, and indeed if you look at the back of the house you can see where a shell blew a large hole in 1944. You can visit all the D Day Beaches, and the various museums and monuments that can be found in each of the towns and villages on your trip to the beaches.
If you have time left you should visit one of the many cider farms, which are open to the public where the owners will encourage you to try the cider, calvados, and other apple brews, or go on the route De Traditions, which takes you to local farms where they make bread, grow snails!, and breed pigeons amongst others.
During your stay you should visit one of the local street markets, and enjoy sausage and frites cooked out side and buy the best local produce, perhaps a strong cheese or some sea food or veg.
In the gite we have plenty of tourist information to plan your stay.
