Tranquil cottage in rural Normandy

Les Sablons is a charming ‘colombage’ cottage, surrounded by rolling green fields of the Normandy countryside. Les Sablons is a house where you come to fully switch off - there is nobody around and we often joke that rush hour consists of three tractors! It's perfect for a romantic getaway, family fun with children, or lovers of cheese (the house is 4km away from Camembert), or WW2 history.

The house is small, but well fitted out and well thought out for you to have a relaxing stay. There's a large log burner, washing machine, dishwasher, numerous books and games, outdoor furniture and a BBQ. The house sleeps 4 comfortably and there is one bathroom. There is parking for one car, two at a squeeze. We allow pets in the house, but please check with us in advance! At the moment there is no Wi-Fi - for us, this helps us to unwind and switch off, promoting a digital detox.

Les Sablons is situated in lower Normandy around an hour and a quarter drive from the ferry port at Ouistreham, Caen. Although the cottage is in the middle of lush green fields and valleys, the coast is easily accessible. You can visit the sophisticated towns of Deauville, Trouville and Honfleur, the latter being worth a day’s visit by itself. Further west along the coast you can explore the D-Day beaches, visit Bayeux and Mont St Michel. Houlgate and Cabourg are lovely seaside towns with endless sandy beaches.
