A recently renovated stone property, with a well equipped kitchen and a large patio area where you can relax on those long summer evenings.
The property comprises one double bedroom with twin beds, a shower room with a generous shower base, vanity unit and toilet, a kitchen/dining/lounge area which has two sofas one which can be converted into a double bed. The kitchen is well equipped to enable you to cook a meal of your choice. The fan assisted oven is very efficient and a meal can be cooked in a very short time. There is an electric hob, coffee percolator, kettle, microwave, slow cooker, fridge with freezer compartment, etc. There are electric heaters in all rooms (including an electric log burner).
If you don't want to cook, then you can take a stroll to a nearby restaurant and a little further afield (about 1.5 kms) there are dozens of hotels and restaurants where you can eat. On your way you can stop to taste the local drink Calvados!
For the more energetic, you can cycle the lovely country lanes - the area is very popular for cycling, or you can take a stroll over the fields to reach the Mont (daytime only as the tide comes in at night). The beaches are about 45 minutes drive, or a little further afield you can visit the war graves, at the same time you could see the Bayeaux tapestry.

The Abbey of Mont St Michel is a must to visit - we can see the Mont from the road and it is literally five minutes away by car. It remains the most visited attraction in France after the Eiffel Tower. You can view the wonderful sight of Mont St Michel after dark when the Abbey is illuminated. There are pilgrimage walks around the Abbey.
The cult of Saint Michael was widespread on the British Isles from the ninth century. By the time of the reformation in the sixteenth century, there were more than six hundred churches in England dedicated to Saint Michael. Mont St Michel also attracted pilgrims from Scandinavia, Italy and Germany, with many British pilgrims stopping at the mount before heading to Santiago de Compostela in northern Spain.
There are many restaurants in the area, the nearest being at the end of our road.
Public swimming pool at Avaranches.
