Chez Nous Berjou - 3 Bedroom (Sleeps 6) Cottage in Berjou

Description

Located in a delightful village in the scenic area known as ‘Swiss Normandy’, our traditional, unpretentious Norman cottage offers a perfect retreat to enjoy the tranquillity of rural France. Before considering a booking, we ask guests to read the entire description including the 'Important Notes' section.

Berjou has a fascinating museum covering the liberation of the village in 1944 and a shop selling a selection of groceries with an excellent bakery whose bread, croissants and pastries are regarded as the best in the area. The nearby towns of Condé-sur-Noireau, Pont d’Ouilly, Flers, Domfront and Falaise offer a wide choice of bars, bistros and restaurants, shops, wonderful street markets, supermarkets and other amenities.

Chez Nous Berjou is an excellent base for exploring the beautiful countryside by car, bike or on foot, and is well placed to access the D-Day beaches, historic Bayeux, the magic of Mont Saint-Michel and many other attractions.

Apart from quaint towns and spectacular panoramic views, Normandy is renowned for fine restaurants serving delicious food, wine and, of course, the region’s famous Calvados and Cidre!

Berjou is a perfect location for rambling through wonderful scenery, with a good selection of delightful walks displayed on a large map in the village centre, many right from the doorstep! In autumn there are plenty of sweet chestnut trees and edible fungi found along local walks, providing delicious additions to dinner.

Inside the cottage care has been taken to provide comfortable, properly equipped accommodation to ensure you enjoy your stay.

There are three bedrooms (one on the ground floor) sleeping up to six people with towels and bedding provided. Heating is by ceramic radiators and two wood-burning stoves.

Outside there is a large enclosed garden, a BBQ area with chimenea and off-road parking for up to two cars.

Well-behaved pets are welcome.

We believe our cottage, whilst simple in style, is a hidden treasure and want guests to enjoy it as much as we do!

IMPORTANT NOTES

Chez Nous Berjou is a traditional cottage ideal for people seeking a quiet and simple rural retreat. Whilst providing comfortable accommodation with a good level of amenities, our cottage is not offered as a luxury stay and this is reflected in the fees.

Please note:
• There is no dishwasher or coffee machine
• There is no swimming pool, sauna or hot tub
• A washing machine is provided, but no dryer; clothes can be dried in the traditional manner on the outdoor washing line or on the folding rack in the outbuilding during wet weather
• There is no TV, although the excellent broadband enables streaming if required
• This is a 200-year-old stone cottage with exposed beams, lots of ‘nooks and crannies’ and we do not use toxic chemicals and pesticides indoors. For those reasons, no matter how carefully the cottage is cleaned, there are likely to be more spiders etc than in a modern building
• The stairs to the first floor are open and quite steep, please be aware with young children and anyone who is at all unsteady on their feet. A child safety gate is provided to fit at the top of the stairs.
•The floor-level window in the first bedroom upstairs opens outwards but has no restraining guard.

Please supervise children in this room AT ALL TIMES!

• Windows: in the traditional style, some windows open inwards at head height.
• No smoking inside the cottage, please!

If any of the above does not suit your requirements, please consider carefully before booking.
