Other things to note
Ideally located for exploring the region - including the D-Day Beaches, Mont St Michel, Avranches, Domfront, Villedieu-les-Poeles, Granville, Bayeux Tapestry, D-Day Museums and the northern Loire. Nearby in Brittany - St Malo with its ramparts, Dinan, Dinard and Fougeres.
Nature lovers will enjoy the huge range of birds and wildlife to be seen in the garden and surrounding area, including woodpeckers, red kites, red squirrel and occasionally an owl, as well as the more usual varieties.

Heating during the colder months: Please note that this gite is a 250 year old rural property. Although there is central heating, it cannot and will not be heated to the levels you may expect in a modern house or apartment. The wood burner in the lounge will need to be used to boost the heating when you relax in the evenings. We make no charge for heating on the understanding that you accept the above and use the wood burner when you need to. Firewood is also supplied free of charge.
