About this property

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

The Barley Watermill is 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 and with full view of the coast.
These watermills were built around 1820, by the family of the present owners, to grind barley and wheat.

Beautiful beach and cliff walks, short and long, from your doorstep.

Fully equipped and conveniently near to all shops, services, but in rural setting. This holiday cottage is rated 3 stars by the government tourism agency.

This mill is reached through 30 steps. The mill is on two levels linked by a spiral staircase and can sleep 2 people in comfort, plus 1 child. One bedroom with a double bed (1m40 wide) + a child’s bed, separated by curtains. En suite bathroom, with shower and toilet. Living room with sofabed, CD, DVD reader, Satellite TV. Wood stove.

See too Property 709193 same location for 4 to 6 persons.
7 kms away, facing the sea, and 500 m from a sandy beach, we run a holiday cottage for a max of 7 guests, with 4 sea-view bedrooms, under property HAUK 11774646.

We love cats and dogs, and they are very welcome. Please note that the garden is not fenced.

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 !

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.

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.

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.

Holidays in the castle garden

We have lived one week in the fantastic summer cottage of the castle Dur-Ecu. It was so nice that we would have remained with pleasure still a next week. The castle arrangement with her old walls, funny pileworks and wonderful garden is a dream. The equipment of the summer cottage feels well, everything exists, is simple and moulder furnished. From the window you can see directly on the sea. What does one want more? The hosts have and conceive very friendly and have dismissed. Every day we have explored the closer surroundings. Besides, we have bumped into dreamlike sceneries. The worth seeing also lies nearby. One must be ready to spend some kilometres in the car. We have made day trips to Caen, Bayeux (the carpet of Bayeux), Mont St. Michel, Granville, Camenbert. A great week. We want to come again anyway! Thank you again to the hosts!

Très agréable emplacement de ce petit logement, a quelques centaines de mètres de la plage. Réveil avec vue sur la mer est vraiment top. Seul bémol, la propreté n'était pas au rendez vous, énormément de toiles d'araignée et pas récente ainsi que mouches mortes au sol a l'étage. La salle de bain était propre mais il manquait des serviettes de toilette pour une personne, la vaisselle a dû être relavée avant de s'en servir. Merci pour ce séjour tout de même, les paysages alentours sont vraiment magnifiques.

Désolé pour le loupé du nettoyage, ça n'aurait pas dû se produire. Pour les serviettes, nous sommes sur place et aurions pu rectifier immédiatement si cela nous avait été dit.

Agréable pour un séjour court

Gite bien situé, dans un beau cadre, équipements complets. confort un peu limité à l'étage notamment espace autour du lit. en cas de pluies, on peut déplorer des odeurs de renfermé dues à l'humidité. A recommander pour un séjour d'une semaine et si on souhaite visiter la région.

Bezauberndes Ambiente

Wir waren rundum begeistert. Der Platz reichte so gerade für 2 Personen und 2 mittelgroße Hunde. Herzlichen Dank für die kleinen Aufmerksamkeiten zur Begrüßung (auch von den Hunden). Die Ausstattung ist duper, es ist alles da was man braucht. Madame Bigot war sehr kooperativ und der Schlossverwalter sehr nett und immer hilfsbereit. Vielen Dank für die Schlossführung. Das Ambiente ist einfach unglaublich. Der Blick in alle Richtungen wünderschön.

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.
