The cottage has a beautiful west facing exterior with a traditional French design and blessed with stunning views across the local fields. The cosy well equipped cottage can accommodate up to four people with one bath/shower room, a small fully equipped kitchenette and a comfortable living room/dining area.

There is also a traditional French fireplace that contains a log burning stove that can be used to heat the cottage in periods of cold weather. During the warmer months the large garden and outdoor furniture is ideal for relaxing and BBQs.

A great way to unwind is to enjoy the many enjoyable walks and cycle routes in and around local towns, villages, river ways, canals, coastal paths, dunes and forests. The cottage is only 25 minutes from St Malo (ferries from Portsmouth and international airport).
