About this property

Lovely cottage sleeps 4 with shared pool & lawn tennis court, dogs welcome

Le Pressoir is a pretty detached stone cottage that originally housed the farm's cider press. With all home comforts including King sized bed in the master bedroom, twin beds in the second bedroom, upstairs family bathroom and second toilet downstairs, spacious sitting room with comfy sofas and farmhouse kitchen and dining table. With its own private garden, this pet-friendly gite is perfect for a couple or family of 4.

Le Pressoir is set in the peaceful, idyllic grounds of La Bourdonnerie, a 300 year old Farm on the West coast of the Normandy peninsular.

The farm consists of the main stone farmhouse and 4 self-catering holiday homes. The cottages have been converted from the natural stone barns and cider press that formed the original farms buildings, and each has its own unique character and style.

Your dogs will enjoy the enclosed garden, and also the 3 hectares of gardens and playing fields. On site you will find a communal heated outdoor swimming pool (open June - September), lawn tennis court (open June - September), table tennis table, swings and trampoline...along with goats, cats, ducks and chickens to entertain the children and adults alike.

Ideally situated on the edge of a village served by its own shop within 5 minutes walk, 5 minutes drive from all shops and conveniences in nearby La Haye du Puits and Lessay and 10 minutes drive from the beach.

A few kilometres from the beach, 40 minutes from Utah Beach and second world war memorials, and 45 minutes from Cherbourg and Citi de la Mer. Based on site, we speak French, English and German and look forward to welcome you on the farm..

About the host

Hosted by David Smith

Host profile image
We are Jenefer & Dave Smith, and as the owners of La Bourdonnerie we’re here to make your stay in Normandy extra special. After living in London for a long time, in 2010 we decided to move to Normandy and after months of searching finally found the perfect location to launch a business. We’re both fans of fresh air, peace & quiet and open spaces, which meant when we found La Bourdonnerie, we knew immediately this was ‘the one’. We live here all year round in the main ‘farmhouse’, and so we’re always available should you need our help or advice.

In addition to our native english, we both speak excellent french and Dave also speaks german. We’re on hand in the event of any emergencies, be that sorting flat car tyres to trips to the vets.

In the few years we’ve been here we’ve done a lot of the tourist attractions, eaten in most of the restaurants and walked the majority of the beaches, so please do ask for tips and advice if you feel the need. We’re here to help, and look forward to meeting you at La Bourdonnerie.

What makes this property unique

Near all of the tourist attractions of the region, but nestled in a quiet village 10 minutes from the nearest beaches, La Bourdonnerie offers total peace and quiet. We're regularly told by guests that they've never slept so well: the silence at night time is unbelievable, and that, combined with comfy beds, and the renowned effect of the Atlantic sea air, means you will leave fully rested, restored and totally relaxed.
