Gite - Holiday Cottage - Vacation Rental - Coutances, Normandy, France

Come join us in the Normandy Holiday Cottages for the best, relaxing holiday in France

This luxurious French holiday cottage or vacation rental, set in the heart of the glorious Normandy countryside, has been beautifully renovated to provide high quality self-catering accommodation for up to 6 people.

It is situated between St Lo and Coutances, close to excellent sandy beaches and within easy reach of Mont St Michel, Bayeux and the D-Day invasion beaches.

Whether sightseeing or simply relaxing in the peace and tranquillity of the countryside, Le Deshayes provides the perfect base for a great holiday.

Top Tip : 2012 is the year of the London Olympics and we are sure that not everone will be glued to the TV or lucky enough to have secured tickets through the ballot, so if you are thinking of a quiet break away from the constant sports coverage please book early as we expect late July and August will be very popular here in Normandy. Just in case one of your party can't survive without a daily Olympic fix the Gite does have the main British TV channels, but I'm sure you will all enjoy the beautiful countryside and beaches around Le Deshayes!

Great Savings on ferry prices - As we advertise with Brittany Ferries we can offer a 20% discount on their ferry prices. For summer 2012 bookings this can give substantial savings. This offer is only available via their Holiday France Direct website and with our unique customer number. If you are planning to come and visit us please check the availability page and complete the booking form. We will confirm the provisional booking and give you the customer number to check the cost and make your ferry booking. We look forward to hearing from you.

Normandy Life - our blog about life here in Le Deshayes is now showing the progress on our new house build. We have put on the plans, elevations and sections and will keep you up to date with progress, including photos of the construction when we get started later this year.

High Quality Home Cooking - after a long journey at the start of your holiday or a full day out exploring this glorious contryside, why not enjoy a delicious four course meal expertly prepared by your hosts. At 20 € a head, including a complimentary half a bottle of wine per person, it is great value. If you prefer a lighter meal we can offer two courses for 12 euros including a glass of wine or local cider. Please give us 24 hrs notice and an idea of your likes and dislikes. Some of the comments from the Gite visitor book: Paul and Sarah from Hampshire, "The evening meal is a must" - Marion from Clitheroe, "We have thoroughly enjoyed our stay and especially the lovely meal on arrival".
