Beautiful Cottage sleeps 6 - with shared pool & tennis 10 mins from beach.
Charming stone cottage with all the comforts of home including cosy sitting room with log burner and doors to courtyard and garden, and a lovely farmhouse kitchen with dining table downstairs. Upstairs there are 3 bedrooms with a king sized bed, a double bed and kids room with bunks, shower room and family bathroom.
La Vacherie 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 cottages. 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 terrace, 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 in 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. 10 km from the local beaches, 40 minutes from Utah Beach and second world war memorials, and 45 minutes from Cherbourg and Citi de la Mer.
Based on site we're here to help if you need us... we speak French, English and German and look forward to welcome you on the farm..

In Vesley is helemaal niets dus gaat u voor de rust dan zit er goed, voor ons was het te stil.
De accomodatie is netjes al kraakt de verdiepingsvloer wel heel erg.
Entspannter Urlaub in einer ländlichen Idylle mit vielen Möglichkeiten
Tolle, gepflegte Anlage, ruhige Lage, sympathische Vermieter.
12 min (PKW) zum weitläufigen, und Ende April menschenleeren Strand und Dünen. 10 min (PKW) zum Supermarkt. Sehr hilfreiche Tipps für Ausflüge und Restaurants. Die Normandie hat sich so für uns von ihrer schönsten Seite gezeigt.

About the host
Hosted by David Smith
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 to book restaurants and 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.
