"My wife and I have been taking gites in Normandy and Brittany for the last thirty years and without any doubt we rate yours the best we have ever stayed in. We certainly would like to go back next year!” Mr and Mrs C, Lancashire

Le Clos is a delightful house situated in a secluded area of the village of Fleury, a few minutes drive from the lively town of Villedieu-les-Poêles and approximately 30 minutes drive from many lovely, sandy beaches. The perfect setting to unwind with a glass of wine or local cider - a bottle of each is in the fridge waiting for you!

The house is easily accessible from ferry and airports and provides a perfect base for exploring the best of rural, coastal and historic Normandy or taking a trip to the Channel Islands.

Le Clos has undergone a complete professional and sympathetic renovation and extension to provide modern holiday accommodation which retains much of the character of the original building – notably oak beams, a large granite fireplace and wooden floors. Outside there is a terrace area, a lawn area and parking for several cars.

The Region

We stay in the village several times during the year to visit family and friends and love visiting the area. This area of Normandy has much to offer visitors of all interests. In the immediate area, picturesque Villedieu-les-Poêles produces renowned copperware and has a lively market every Tuesday which attracts shoppers from the surrounding villages. It has many authentic copper workshops, a bell foundry, lace museum, Norman furniture museum, several restaurants, an interesting maze of alleyways to explore and an indoor fun pool. There are also English speaking Estate Agents if you are interested in investing in your own holiday accommodation! The village of Champrépus, a couple of miles away, has a fascinating zoo for animal lovers of all ages. There are numerous possibilities to taste cheese, cider or calvados in the area. There are also many tempting restaurants nearby and numerous brocantes and depôts ventes if you are interested in antiques or picking up a bargain! You will find a folder within the cottage which includes leaflets on a range of local tourist attractions including horse riding and golf.

Le Clos also provides the ideal base for exploring further afield. Here is a brief list of possibilities:

• Granville – “Monaco of the North” - with its Casino, beach with seawater pool, old walled town and Christian Dior’s childhood home. Learn to windsurf here!

• Mont St Michel – either by car or a walk or horse ride across the bay at low tide – a must!

• Various regional theme parks

• Coutances – shopping and cathedral

• World War II sites – the beaches, cemeteries, Arromanches, Avranches, Caen

Mr and Mrs G, Birmingham

“As lovers of wildlife and countryside, a lovely rural setting – cows grazing, jays collecting acorns, red squirrel burying hazel nuts. Wild flowers still present in hedgerows alongside blackberries picked for dessert. All this along with an Indian summer – what more could you want!”

Mr and Mrs L, Notts

“A really beautiful and peaceful location! We loved eating outside in the evenings with just the sound of nature to accompany the sun set. A relaxing house with a really homely feel and very nicely furnished. We loved exploring the coast around Granville and the market in Villedieu.”

A lovely cottage – lots of great touches. Villedieu was brilliant on market day! Our favourite beach was just north of Granville – Coudeville plage.

CS, Kent

Had an exceptional time and loved Le Clos!

TC, Shropshire

We are seriously thinking about coming back next year – thank you!

AC, Surrey

A beautiful home to stay in and a lovely part of the country to visit. Plenty to do and not enough time to fit it all in!

GH, Worksop, Notts

"A very enjoyable week in a spacious, warm and comfortable cottage. We

enjoyed memorable days at Bayeux and Arromanches and the moules,

camembert, crêpes and cidre were also impressive. Rona, aged 20 months,

loved the zoo at Champrépus and the "moo cows" outside the house were an added bonus for her"

The Brockington Family

"A wonderfully secluded gite, set in quiet surroundings but within easy reach of all the main sights. Furnished to a good standard, ample cooking equipment provided. Little touches like soap and toilet rolls meant we didn't have to spend on basic essentials. We spent a very comfortable, relaxed week in the gite and were genuinely sorry to leave at the end, we had felt so at home. The two bathrooms and a downstairs toilet made it particularly suitable to our needs - two adult couples sharing a house! Admin. was very good and it was reassuring to be able to speak to you on the phone or by email as necessary".

Mr and Mrs Mathews and Morris

We had an excellent holiday and thank you for returning our deposit so quickly.

AB, York

"We have stayed in lots of gites over many years - this rates as one of the best!"

Mr and Mrs S, West Yorkshire
