An impressive ancient house, with lovingly restored stone floors and antique furniture, La Chevalerie is the perfect base from which to explore the French countryside. You can tour country lanes on a bicycle, take a stroll along the vast sandy beaches, or sip an evening drink by the sea at Carteret Beach. This historical house was one of the first to be liberated on D Day and the area is steeped in history, with impressive war monuments and battle tours. Foodies and wine lovers can forage in the weekly markets selling everything from Calvados to Spider Crab and local cheeses, to be brought home and prepared in the large kitchen or on the outside barbecue. The house has plenty of rooms to get lost in; read a book in the study or play Billiards in the Great Hall. Children can play in the garden and soak in the oversize paddling pool, while the adults listen to music on the eight seater sofas by the bar. Truly a unique place to get away from it all and relax in style.
