The house overlooks the market square of Cambremer in the heart of the Pays D'Auge. Boulangerie, restaurant and bar are within 150 yards and there is a range of shops including a pharmacy and bank with ATM.  Lisieux, 10 miles away, is the nearest large town. Cambremer is 40 mins  drive from the ferry ports of Caen or Le Havre, and 1 hour 40 minutes from Dieppe.

Over 200 years old, the house is typical 'colombage' with a spacious  oak-beamed lounge (armchairs, settee/double sofa-bed, satellite TV with DVD and video player) and a fully-fitted stone-walled kitchen/diner (electric oven,  grill and hob, microwave, washing machine and everything you will need for up to 7 people).  Upstairs, the 'blue bedroom' has a double bed, dresser and walk-in wardrobe.   The modern bathroom has a bath, shower cubicle and separate wc. The top floor bedroom has three single beds, dresser and wardrobe.  All the beds have duvets and pillows.  We can hire you linen and towels on  request.  Outside, the west-facing front terrace has a patio table and chairs.

Whilst the house provides an ideal touring base there is much to do locally,  Cambremer is at the heart of the 'Cider Route' and you can visit the local  farms to see (and taste) cider being made the traditional way or take a guided tour of one of the ancient Calvados distilleries. At the house a map shows various 'green lane' walks starting 50 yards from the door.  Market  day is Friday with a special market every Sunday in July and August. The small tourist office will also give you details of other local events as well as 'manoirs', chateaux, etc, that you can visit.  The sandy beaches of Deauville and Cabourg can be reached in about 30 minutes as can picturesque Honfleur, ancient port and artist's paradise. Similarly the dramatically-restored castle at Falaise, birthplace of William the Conqueror. Bayeux, for the tapestry, is a little further a field.  At Caen, the 'Peace Memorial' illustrates the events that lead to the outbreak of WW2 and the invasion, and subsequent liberation, of Normandy and includes film shows and interactive displays. It is the ideal introduction to your visits to the D-day landing beaches and other sites and museums, including the famous Pegasus Bridge. Monet's Garden at Giverny and Chateau Gaillard at Les Andelys are within easy reach, and Paris is just over to hours away by car.
