About the host
Hosted by Daniel Parker
Daniel fell in love with the area whilst working on the HBO Band of Brothers series in 2000, part of which describes the D-day landings on nearby Utah beach and the subsequent battle for the peninsular which is now my home. The peacefulness of the countryside and the emptiness of the local beaches combined with a way of life that has changed little over the last few hundred years makes it ideal retreat from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Because of Daniels' work in film production, his work schedule can be quite hectic and unpredictable and Manuela works as an Ayurvedic doctor in her Berlin based clinic and is a top and acupuncturist also takes her around the world as an international specialist. It is usually with a huge sigh of relief that both he and Manuela return to my peaceful haven to unwind! We hope you will enjoy the farm and the surroundings as much as we do, & whilst we live on site, rest assured your cottage have their own private spaces.
Why they chose this property
The area being so beautiful and the potential of the property and grounds was too good an opportunity to pass up, it has taken a long time, but it has been worth it, I hope you enjoy the place as much as we do!
What makes this property unique
The property is tucked away in a tiny hamlet of its own, extremely private and off the beaten track, although close to the local network of cycleways and a short drive to local shops/bakery and restaurants. And the beaches are fantastic, again just a short drive, and then of course the whole area is steeped in history from the Vikings to WWII and the D-day landings. Please remember that we also accept dogs (up to 2 per booking) to share your relaxing walks with... with the entire family ; )
