Mill facing the sea, in the park of a castle. 300m to the beach and great walks

Facing the sea, 300 m away, with fibre Optic Internet !

Just 10km west of Cherbourg, your gateway to: La Hague and Val de Saire, rugged coastlines and good food. Rated 3 stars (3 épis) by national authority for its location and comfort. Cottage for weekly rental in the park of the listed 16th century castle of Dur-Ecu. 300m from the beach… where the British Navy landed in 1522 and 1758 (trust the Admiralty for good records) and with uninterrupted views of the coast. From your windows you will see the scene of one of the famous naval battles of the American Civil War between Confederate Alabama and the United States of America, Kearsarge. Beautiful walks, short and long, on your doorstep. Renovated, tasteful and comfortable. Conveniently located near all shops, services.
Normandy has many 16th century Castles, but few of them are by the sea, and even fewer offer holiday homes for rent. Come and experience the magic of the Manoir de Dur-Ecu!
