La Dehayrie, Guehebert, nr Coutances, Normandy.
Newly refurbished gite with one double bedroom, available throughout the year. Sleeps 2.
Ideal for couples. Wi-Fi broadband available.

The gite is a charming converted cowshed set in beautiful countryside. At least 150 years old, it has recently been refurbished to a very high standard but retaining original beams and other features. La Dehayrie stands almost at the end of a country lane which is a no-through-road, so the location is very quiet. We are part of the commune of Guehebert, which is halfway between the cathedral city of Coutances and the charming market town of Gavray, both 15 minutes’ drive. The magnificent beach on the Cherbourg peninsula is 20 minutes’ drive, and less than 90 minutes away are Cherbourg itself, Caen and St Malo/ Dinard airport. The sandy beach on the west side of the Cotentin (Cherbourg) peninsula stretches for well over 20 miles and is accessible from a variety of points. Hauteville is a small seasonal resort, with a few shops, bars and restaurants and lots of holiday homes. Wonderful for walking and, if you like a bit of freshness in your sea temperature, for swimming as well. Watersports are available. From Granville, you can take a day trip to either the local very small and delightful islands of Chausey, or to Jersey, Guernsey or Sark. The high-speed boat to the Channel Islands leaves year-round at about 9.30am and returns at about 6.30pm, (depending on tides)

There is plenty of choice of excellent reasonably priced restaurants in the neighbouring towns and villages, and of course, the area has a vast array of historically interesting places to visit. The major popular attractions of Lower (Western) Normandy - e.g. the Normandy landing beaches and their museums, Bayeux, Honfleur, Mont St Michel - are an easy day-trip away, almost all at less than an hour's drive.

The gite has an open-plan living area approximately 5 metres x 4 metres (16ft x 13ft), including a fully-fitted modern kitchen with oven/microwave/grill, gas hob. Washing machine and tumble dryer, available for use, but not within the gite.

Upstairs, there is a double bedroom with en-suite shower room with large shower area. Heating throughout is by electricity, and Wireless broadband is available.
Outside, the gite has its own small terrace. West-facing, it enjoys glorious evening sunshine in the summer months.

 A car is essential, as the nearest market town is 15 minutes' drive away, though a few shops are nearer. This is a holiday gite for a couple who above all want peace and quiet, with excellent walking either in the glorious local countryside or by the sea. Riding and golf are available nearby. For the more adventurous, you can take a ride in a small plane or go parachuting, plus other activities are available in the area, including fishing and watersports.
