La Fieffe Corbiere (NM002604) - 2 Bedroom - Cottage

A little piece of Paradise in Normandy.....an hour's drive from the ferry at Caen-Ouistreham and on the outskirts of Sourdeval, a lovely little market town in La Manche, up a peaceful lane, under the bridge and up the hill, overlooking beautiful rolling fields and woods with a garden full of butterflies and birdsong. La Fieffe Corbiere was built in 1850 in local granite for the farm labourer, at a yearly rent of a barrel of butter, then rebuilt to a fantastic standard in 2002, providing all modern comforts but retaining its charming original features, set amidst stunning scenery with lovely walks, particularly along the cycle track at the bottom of our garden, which stretches about 75km from St Lo in one direction and Mont St Michel in the other, with all sorts of activies close-by from swimming in the outdoor Lido in Mortain, (very swishy indoor pool at Vire, 20 mins away). Horse riding, go-karting, to mad bungee jumping and an amazing outdoors swinging-thru-the-trees adventure park. Markets on every day of the week and excellent restaurants all close-by. Only half an hour or so to wonderful beaches and the sea and a little further on the spectacular Mont St Michel. The World War II Normandy Landing Beaches, their fascinating museums and the famous Bayeux Tapestry are within easy reach.
