Mill for 2, facing the sea, 300m to the beach and great walks. Next to a castle.

Just 10 km West of Cherbourg, your gate to la Hague and Val de Saire, to rugged coasts and to good food. Holiday cottage for weekly rental in the park of the listed castle of Dur-Ecu (16th c.). 300 m from the beach… where the British navy landed in 1522 and 1758, and with full view of the coast.
Beautiful beach and cliff walks, short and long, from your doorstep. These watermills were built around 1820, by the family of the present owners, to grind barley and wheat. Conveniently near to all shops, services, but in rural setting. This gite is rated 3 stars by the government tourism agency.
Normandy has many 16th c. castles, but very few of them stand by the sea, and even fewer offer holidays cottages for rent. Come and join the magic of Manoir de Dur-Ecu ! See too Property 709193 same location takes 6 persons;

Enjoyed our stay
Very well located: close to the sea, a bit secluded and yet the bakery still within walking distance. Cap La Hague itself has a great, varied coastline that is good for hiking and there are good restaurants. The heating didn't work at the beginning of our stay and despite the rainy weather, Philippe came immediately to get everything working again. Overall, we had a wonderful time in this very special place.

Fantastic little cottage in a wonderful and unspoilt location. Amazing coastline. Would recommend you come out of season as you get virtually the whole of Normandy to yourself.

Great week in Normandy.
Lovely cosy gite in a superb location, with pretty grounds, and on the coast. Stunning view toward the sea, best we've had. Very handy for a lot of beaches, places to visit and things to do. Easy access to east or west coast, and fairly simple to by-pass Cherbourg to travel anywhere. Attractions of Cherbourg on hand for visiting with ease. Peaceful, with beautiful scenery nearby, yet with a good choice of supermarkets, and restaurants. The path up to the gite was ok for us, but may pose a problem for some. We're certainly fitter after our daily exercise ! Definitely one of the best holidays we've had in France, out of many.

Delightful Seaside House: A Perfect Getaway
We had an absolutely wonderful stay at this accommodation with a stunning sea view. Everything met our expectations and left us fully satisfied. The host was extremely friendly and welcoming. The house perfectly matched its description, boasting a lovingly and tastefully decorated interior. Communication with the host was excellent throughout our stay. We highly recommend this place to others. It's also very dog-friendly, which is a big plus for pet owners.

huisje bij de manoir
Ligging was prachtig. Vond de prijs voor het huisje,achteraf, erg hoog. Huisje was super klein. Begrijp dat je ook betaalt voor de ligging, maar het 2-persoons huisje was dit geld niet waard. Vrienden verbleven in het 4-persoons huis. Dit was veel luxer en de prijs wel waard.

Schlechtes Preis-Leistungsverhältnis
Uriges, aber leider nicht sehr sauberes Ferienhäuschen. Das Bad war sauber, die Küchenutensilien nicht. In der Klappcouch, auf die wir ausgewichen sind, weil das Bett dermaßen durchgelegen war, haben wir Mäusekot gefunden. M.E. sollte die Endreinigung vom Vermieter organisiert werden. Der Vermieter kommuniziert per Mail und nicht wie üblich über fewo-direkt, die Ansprechpartnerin vor Ort spricht ausschließlich Französisch. Die Gegend ist toll, aber beim nächsten Mal in einer anderen Unterkunft.

Häuschen in toller Region
Das Häuschen liegt eingebettet in ein Wäldchen nebem dem plätschernden Mühlbach, diese sehr nette Lage hat natürlich die Konsequenz, dass am Haus fast keine Sonne ist. Die Ausstattung ist funktional, die Küche hat eine gute Ausstattung, gefehlt haben auch uns bequeme Gartenmöbel. Beigeistert hat uns die sehr abwechslungsreiche Umgebung, die Küste, die nach jeder Kurve anders aussieht. Unsere Hündin hat die Morgen und Abend Spaziegänge am langen Strand genossen.

Nettes Häuschen in schöner Lage
Das Haus liegt am Hang und mitten im Wald, über viele Steinstufen erreichbar und mit einem sehr schönen Blick auf das Meer. Es ist idyllisch und urig, aber man darf keinen Komfort erwarten. Das Außengelände ist mit Vorsicht zu genießen - abschüssig ohne Sicherung, für uns kein Problem, aber für Senioren und Kleinkinder nicht geeignet. Durch die Lage sind die Sonnenstunden am Haus auf 2 Stunden (7:00 - 9:00Uhr) begrenzt… das war schade. Sehr freundlicher Empfang und soweit alles im Haus vorhanden - bis auf bequeme Gartenmöbel. Ein außergewöhnliches Quartier für jeden, der es gerne individuell mag!
