The gite is a charming converted cowshed set in beautiful countryside. At least 150 years old, it has recently been refurbished to a very high standard but retaining original beams and other features. La Dehayrie stands almost at the end of a country lane which is a no-through-road, so the location is very quiet. We are part of the commune of Guehebert, which is halfway between the cathedral city of Coutances and the charming market town of Gavray, both 15 minutes' drive. The magnificent beach on the Cherbourg peninsula is 20 minutes' drive, and less than 90 minutes away are Cherbourg itself, Caen and St Malo/ Dinard airport. There is plenty of choice of excellent reasonably priced restaurants in the neighbouring towns and villages.

The gite has an open-plan living area approximately 5 metres x 4 metres (16ft x 13ft), including a fully-fitted modern kitchen. Upstairs, there is a double bedroom with ensuite shower room with large shower area. Heating throughout is by electricity. Lighting is by modern spots. The gite has wireless broadband. Outside, the gite has its own small terrace. West-facing, it enjoys glorious evening sunshine in the summer months. A car is essential, as the nearest market town is 15 minutes' drive away, though a few shops are nearer. This is a holiday gite for a couple who above all want peace and quiet, with excellent walking either in the glorious local countryside or by the sea. Riding and golf are available nearby. For the more adventurous, you can take a ride in a small plane or go parachuting.

£250 - £295

This beautifully refurbished gite is set in a secluded location in the hamlet of Brouains, between Sourdeval and Mortain in the Manche area of Normandy. The gite is well situated for the D Day beaches, Le Mont St Michel and many other areas of interest in Normandy. Located on the D911 near La Sée River, it has a good restaurant Moulin de la Sée just 5 minutes walk down the road. The nearest big town is Vire, about 20 minutes away, which is famous for its Bocage (A mosaic of rolling, meandering landscapes made up of meadows, hedgerows and hillsides through which rivers make their way.) its Gorges and its sausages!
