Cosy and peaceful

This simple little house, very much in keeping with the French style, is at the centre of a charming, friendly old village and is perfect for couples. The sea, cliff walks, beaches, excellent cafes and shops are all within easy walking distance. The smarter restaurants at the port end of the village are a longer walk or short drive away. The walks and cycle paths are beautiful, accessible and there are lots of nearby villages with fascinating history. The wildlife in the surrounding salt marshes is amazing for all nature lovers. We enjoyed a great, peaceful holiday at the cottage and the very helpful property manager is easily contactable if needed.

La maison est idéalement située, dans une rue calme et jolie, proche de la mer, proche des plages, proche du centre et du marché. Elle est décorée avec goût et munie de tout ce qu'il faut. A noter le très joli jardin, avec un arbre idéalement situé pour déjeuner ou paresser à l'ombre.
