The house
La Grairie is an independent cottage with a private garden, adjacent to the owner's house. Downstairs is an open-plan lounge and kitchen/ dining area and upstairs are the 3 bedrooms (2 doubles, 1 twin) and bathroom. The gite is spacious and comfortably furnished and all linens and towels are included in the price. Should you need them, there are very effective electric heaters in every room.
The garden is large and fully enclosed and leads directly to the orchard and fields beyond - it is a haven for wildlife and many birds nest in the garden and orchard. There is a small patio which faces west and there is a table and chairs and BBQ.
We provide a welcome pack for our guests.

Surroundings

La Grairie is set in a small hamlet on the edge of Saint Georges de Bohon. We are located off a very quiet track - it's busy if we see a tractor or two! - and we are surrounded by fields and networks of quiet and unspoilt lanes which make it a delightful place for walking, cycling, or just going for a wander. You are free to use the orchard and field beyond, it's a great place to relax and enjoy the peaceful surroundings.
We have eight friendly goats, one sheep and two ponies who love extra attention. Your children will have a lot of fun feeding them carrots and maybe even take the goats for a walk, or brush the ponies.
On those days when you want to explore the region, we are within easy reach of nearby towns and attractions. We have two adult-size bikes which you are free to use if you feel like exploring on 2 wheels!

Rob en Eveline from Zeist (NL),
Wat een geweldige plek! Leuk huis in een rustige omgeving en tevens een goede uitvalsbasis om Normandië te verkennen. Met hun bijzonder gastvrij onthaal maken Helen en Steve de vakantie helemaal af. :-)
Tip: naast de bekende bezienswaardigheden is een bezoek aan Île Tatihou ook de moeite waard.Jos en Annemieke from Bilthoven,
We had a wonderful week at La Grairie. Very quiet and lovely and everything we could wish for. The welcome tray with local products, bread and cakes made we could celebrate our arrival even before unpacking. Helen and Steve are very nice people. They made us feel very much at home. I especially will remember the small gifts like homemade cakes and a vase with fresh roses we sometimes found on our doorstep when we returned home late in the evening. They were such nice surprises. The gite is lovely and there is enough to see and do in the vicinity. Of course you are reminded of WWII everywhere, but there are lovely quiet beaches and villages as well. A week was far too short.
Nick from Leiden,
Het was een heerlijke plek en gerund door ontzettend gastvrije lieve mensen! Echt een aanrader ook met een gezin. De eigenaren hebben lieve geiten en pony's die verzorgt mogen worden door de kinderen. Elke ochtend en avond stond er zelfs een klein bakje eten voor de deur klaar om te kunnen geven aan de geitjes. Er is ook een leuke eco geitenboerderij vlak bij de Gites. Elke dag om 17.30 worden de geiten daar gemolken en er is eens per week een kleine markt op het terrein.
Restaurants, food & wine
In Carentan you will find several good restaurants. For fresh morning bread the nearest bakery is 4km away.
Cider and Calvados are widely produced in this area of Normandie and many farms offer visits and tastings . In our welcome pack we include a bottle of our own organic cider made with apples from our orchard.
Activities
There is plenty to do in the area, whether you are interested in outdoor pursuits or want to visit some of the local towns and attractions. There are many outdoor activities available locally, including canoeing, sailing and horse-riding to name just a few. If you are looking for beautiful beaches, you will be spoilt for choice! We are close to the D-day landing beaches and museums where you will find much history.
Carentan (7km) is our nearest town and has a lovely Monday market. Boat trips around the marsh start from here.
