A la Limite du Calvados
Stay in a comfortable 3-star holiday cottage, in a peaceful setting on the border between Calvados and Manche. This cottage is practical, with en-suite bathrooms and toilets adjoining each bedroom and a large, enclosed garden. Comfortable, with large beds and flat-screen TVs in every bedroom. Cosy, with a wood-burning stove in the lounge. Typical of the Normandy bocage, with its exposed stonework and timber features.
