La Martinière

This janitor's cottage, part of a 17th-century architectural ensemble, is a haven of peace.

Nestled in its green setting, Domaine de la Martinière is a superb address for your vacation. Just 13 km from the beaches, it offers a rare opportunity to stay in a totally rural setting overlooking a small valley well known to hikers, yet just a few minutes from a town center. Coutances' lively cultural scene (with its famous jazz festival in May), its cathedral and its plant garden make it a pleasant place for your daily outings. Stephen and Claudine, a Franco-British couple, offer you a warm welcome and have furnished the interior with care, as only the English know how. The double-hearth insert fireplace is particularly appreciated in mid-season, and the private terrace overlooking the woods is sure to delight you.
