La Fontaine is the most recent addition to the La Bourdonnerie cottages. Set within the grounds but apart from the other gites – it features its own large and secluded private lawned garden with swings and a dog safe fenced courtyard with ample parking via it’s own driveway. Cross the stream, over the bridge, and you are in the main communal gardens.

La Fontaine has all the comforts of home including log burner, fully equipped farmhouse kitchen, sitting room, 2 bedrooms and shower and family bathroom. Sleeping arrangements are twin room, double room with adjacent dressing room with single bed (suitable for 3rd child).

Ideally situated in a village served by its own shop within 5 minutes walk, 5 minutes drive from all shops and conveniences in nearby La Haye du Puits and Lessay and 10 minutes drive from white sandy beaches.

Your dogs will enjoy the enclosed terrace, and also the 3 hectares of gardens and playing fields. On site you will find a communal heated outdoor swimming pool, lawn tennis court (both open June - September), table tennis table, swings and trampoline...along with goats, cats, ducks and chickens to entertain the children and adults alike.

40 minutes from Utah Beach and second world war memorials, and 45 minutes from Cherbourg and Citi de la Mer.

La Bourdonnerie is a 300 year old Farm on the West coast of the Normandy peninsular, which has over the years been converted with lots of care and attention to detail into cosy holiday homes.

The farm consists of the main stone farmhouse and 4 self-catering holiday cottages, or ‘Gites’ as they are called here in France. The cottages have been converted from the natural stone barns and cider press that formed the original farms buildings, and each has its own unique character and style.

Based on site we're here to help if you need us... we speak French, English and German and look forward to welcome you on the farm..
