Tranquil Cottage in Normandy

Set in the serene village of Sainte-Marguerite-d'Elle, this charming stone-built cottage offers a peaceful escape for families and groups. With ample parking, a garden full of games for children, and space to accommodate larger gatherings across three cottages, it’s ideal for those seeking countryside calm and adventure. The raised sundeck and patio with barbecue make sunset evenings truly special. The village itself is perched on a hill, offering sweeping views of green valleys and fields. Explore the 11th-century church, wander through scenic hiking and cycling trails, and visit the elegant Château de Balleroy nearby. Omaha Beach and other WWII sites are just 30 minutes away, making this a perfect base for history lovers and nature enthusiasts alike. Inside, The Granary retains its rustic charm while offering modern comforts. The living room invites relaxation, the kitchen is fully equipped for home-cooked meals, and loungers await under shady trees. The hosts are welcoming and knowledgeable—ready to share local tips to make your Normandy stay unforgettable.

Vi havde en fantastisk tid i denne hytte i Normandiet, Beliggenheden var perfekt til at udforske den nærliggende Omaha Beach og de smukke vandrestier, Hytten var ren og havde alt, hvad vi havde brug for, inklusive et fuldt udstyret køkken, Jeg nød virkelig at sidde på solterrassen ved solnedgang, det var bare dejligt, Mit eneste lille problem var, at WiFi var lidt langsomt, men ærligt talt gav det os en grund til at koble fra og nyde øjeblikket, Ville bestemt anbefale det til familier eller en afslappende ferie!
