Beautiful indoor/outdoor living
The property is located within a 10 minute drive from downtown Cherbourg....but you wouldn't know it. It is located on a large private property right on the edge of the sea. You can't see or hear a single other dwelling from the vacation property. It is as if you have the sea to yourself. The property is perfectly equipped, with everything you need for cooking. But what is really unparalleled is the dining area (large enough for 8 people at least). It is located at the sea-end of the property in a glass-enclosed room which can be opened directly to the sea. If the weather is good, you are having your aperitif and eating outside. If the weather isn't so good, you just close the sliding glass wall and you are still eating outside. Either way, an unobstructed view of the Channel. You can see the 18th/19th century fortresses of the Cherbourg seawall from the dining area, so it is very picturesque. The location is convenient to all the city's shops (5 minute drive) and attractions (10 minutes at most), but, above all, it is a great location from which to explore the northern half of the Cotentin peninsula which is (in my opinion) an exceptionally pretty area that combines rugged seaside cliffs, flat sand beaches, and inland hills and dales reminiscent of Cornwall. A beautiful property that helped us have a memorable vacation in the Cotentin.
