Vacation Rental Description
'We have never had a holiday cottage that's met all of our expectations - until now.' R&M, Orpington, UK.
La Reverie (The Daydream) nestles secretly down a quiet country lane in its own south-facing gardens of over an acre. Wonderfully rural in aspect and set in a part of Normandy regarded by some as the most beautiful countryside in the world. We hope to attract people who wish to discover the traditional delights and history of the area and who can appreciate the same in La Reverie. A traditional Norman longere, charming and quaint, but with a strong identity, it has been restored to the higest standards and furnished with a subtle mix of the old and the new. Art and antiques vie for attention with superb new plumbing and wiring! We have retained as many original features as possible, including timber beams and areas of exposed stonework. Beautifully comfortable and comprehensively equipped, La Reverie also has a wonderfully extensive library of fiction and non-fiction books.
Why not enjoy a glass or two of wine on the terrace while supper cooks on the barbecue? Or, alternatively, a ten-minute walk will bring you to the friendly village bar and shop. For those who enjoy lazy days by the sea, the endless sandy beaches of the west coast are 25 minutes away.
La Reverie is ideally situated for many popular destinations including; the Normandy Landing Beaches, Bayeux Tapestry, the fabulous Mont-St-Michel, Villedieu-Les-Poeles with its fabulous copper industry and Bell Foundry, the port at Granville, the Scriptorium at Avranches and the beautiful cathedral of Coutances. One particular favourite, with visitors of all ages, is the incredible Zoological Park at Champrepus, just a 10 minute drive away.
So, if you are looking for a romantic, self-catering holiday rental, or just somewhere to relax and unwind, then we believe La Reverie would be very hard to beat. We are proud to offer the house to those clients who are looking for something just a little bit more special.
