  About our region

Would you prefer a 'sunrise' or 'sunset'? Well look no further as we can offer both!

We have 2 Beach houses – one facing WEST the other facing EAST . Both our houses are actually on the beach
with fabulous views across the sea.

Our 2 houses are located in Normandy, on the Cherbourg Peninsula (La Manche), both are in the beautiful Cotentin and Bessin Regional Natural Park, one on the West Coast with the other on the East Coast.

Not only are our 2 beach houses located in beautiful countryside that has been designated as a conservation area and as a Regional Park, we are also near the World War 2 invasion beaches, the Atlantic Wall, the towns and cities nearby include Bayeux, Caen, Mont St Michel, Coutances, Paris a 2 and half hour train ride away.

The only problem we have here is that there is just too much to see and do!

Both beaches are beautiful white sand that stretches for miles and both have oyster and mussel beds. We recently had someone stay with us who is based in Brussels and works in the Fisheries department for the EU commission, he advised us that these beaches are rated as ‘A’ category.

New for 2007 - Horse riding on the beach... we have linked up with an Irish owned stable - the horses are bought to you to the house. So it is a case of saddle up, open the gate and you are on the glorious beaches - Utah Beach being one that is quite unique, trotting horses are bought to it from all over France to train. Naturally this facility is dependant on your skills.

About our beach houses

St Germain sur Ay

Selected by the UK's The Observer as one of the top 15 beach rentals in the world, this Normandy rental house has sensational, uninterrupted sea views.

Our West Coast property is in the village of St Germain Sur Ay and has panoramic views across to the Channel Islands, on a clear day it is possible to make out the houses on Jersey and also on legendry Islands of Les Ecrehou.

Furthermore, the
beach at the bottom of the garden was nominated by The Sunday Telegraph as one of the most beautiful in all of France.

The house is in the Cotentin and Bessin Marshlands Regional Natural Park , 145,000 hectares of preserved natural beauty amid the sand dunes and estuaries.

We have maximised the stunning views over 3 floors with a raised elevation overlooking the sea. The feature that really strikes you when you stay here is the incredible clarity of the light – it must be something to do with all that sea and clean air.

The sunny living/dining room is perfect for relaxation, or contemplating the glorious 'sunsets' over the sea, or enjoying the log fire in the winter.

From the dining table, everyone can enjoy the sea view, even when you have your back to it!

The kitchen is modern and very well equipped with eye-level oven, huge fridge-freezer, and everything from dishwasher to olive oil.

Bedrooms : upstairs are a double bedroom and a twin room with fabulous sea views, and looking onto the garden are another twin room and very large double with en suite shower room. There is a family bathroom upstairs too. Downstairs is a twin bedroom with a bathroom next to it and a separate WC – this bedroom is especially good for grandparents or anyone who doesn't want to use the stairs.

All the linen is supplied and the beds made up for your arrival. Furniture, bedding, towels, beach towels, etc. are all of good quality with a nautical theme throughout.

In the
garden there are sun loungers, deck chairs and a huge Portuguese BBQ, plus a patio area with table and chairs for 10,

For
children we have 2 cots, 2 highchairs, toilet trainers, baby baths, bottle sterilizers, changing mats, bucket and spade - just ask!

Entertainment : TV has BBC and ITV, there is a video player and video library, DVD player, and a CD player/radio.

Dogs are positively welcomed. The garden is child- and dog-friendly, and of course, dogs are welcome to play on the sand outside our beach rental. Normandy beaches are wonderful places to walk a dog.

Utah Beach House

Our East coast property is located on the world famous WW2 Invasion Beach - Utah Beach. This house is less than 500 meters from the museum yet completely private and tranquil as it is tucked up in the dunes, enjoying fabulous views across to Point du Hoc, Grandcamp-Maisy and the Īles Saint-Marcouf.

A path leads from the back gate onto the wide expanse of Utah Beach.

This stretch of coastline gives you the best of Normandy's natural beauty. The house is in the Cotentin and Bessin Marshlands Natural Park , while the Beauguillot Nature Reserve/Bird Sanctuary of 1,200 acres is just 500 metres from your doorstep.

Newly renovated, former fisherman's house to sleep 10 in 5 bedrooms, this is a perfect holiday home for either 2 families sharing or 1 big family, including grandparents, the family dog and loads of kids.

The house is designed to maximize the panoramic sea views from the living space on the 1st floor. Up here there is a large open-plan living room, kitchen and dining area, leading onto a glass veranda. There is a large dining table for 10, plus another seating area leading out to the huge sun terrace with a patio table for 10, a Portuguese BBQ and sun beds.

In the living room is a TV (satellite Freeview programmes include BBC, ITV, Sky News, etc.), DVD player, CD player, big wood burner for the winter (logs included), a well-stocked book case, even jigsaws in case of emergency!

Bedrooms : upstairs there are 2 bedrooms, (1 double & 1 twin) and a bathroom.

On the ground floor are 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and the laundry room. There is a large double with an en suite shower room, and 2 twin rooms with a 'Jack & Jill' shower room. Both bedrooms at the front of the house have French windows opening out into the garden.

We have tried to create a very comfortable home-from-home property with all the linen, bedding and decorations reflecting a nautical theme.

All the beds are made up for your arrival, with towels in the bathrooms. Beach towels, sun bed covers and even a bucket and spade for the kids are provided.

The garden is walled in so it's completely secure for children and dogs. There is ample parking for up to 6 cars plus a large garage.

The kitchen is well equipped with a dishwasher, microwave, gas hob & oven, kettle, toaster, coffee maker and a large family-sized fridge/freezer. A well-stocked larder awaits you with tea, coffee, sugar, condiments, herbs, spices, pasta, stock cubes, vinegars, oils, even tinned goods - all we ask is that if you use anything please replace for the next folk.

In the laundry room there are separate washing and drying machines, iron and ironing board.

We positively welcome dogs – Utah Beach is doggie paradise – the only worry a dog owner may have is that the dog will sulk when it is time to go home! Our vet speaks excellent English and is very up to speed with the ‘passport for pets' scheme, which seems to change quite often paperwork-wise!

From the 1st July the boulangerie in Ste Marie du Mont has a mobile shop - the van stops outside, and toots its horn for you to pop out to buy your bread in the mornings.

The nearest town is Ste Mere Eglise , about 8 miles away. This is where the 101st Airborne parachuted in on 6th June 1944. Today it has all the shops, cafes and restaurants you could wish for.

The house is in the heart of a significant conservation area so it is an amazingly peaceful and unspoilt setting.
