Welcome to Le Chatel, our cottage in rural Normandy. We love the  mild climate and the freshness of its countryside....plus proximity to the coast because we love the seaside (and seafood!). The views over 'our' valley are of uninterrupted countryside by day and wonderful star displays by night.

 The cottage is over 200 years old and constructed of a timber frame of oak beams pegged together, with some handmade brick and flint, typical of the local style.

 It has two very large loft bedrooms, each accessed by a seperate stairs, a spacious lounge with open fire, a fully equipped fitted kitchen with Everhot (aga-type) range, and a shower-room. We have tried to by sympathetic to the soul of the building and enhance its features.

 The south facing sheltered grounds, consist of almost an acre of meadow with a range of mature trees and a well-stocked flower garden plus seperate potager, all bounded by open fields and woodland. The lane to the house has no through traffic except occasional tractors and ramblers exploring the network of footpaths through the valley.
