  'Les Hirondelles' is easily accessible from three ports - Saint Malo, Cherbourg and Caen - but also consider Dieppe 3 hours, 30 minutes) and Calais.

Two of our gites offer space for extra folding beds and each gite has a sofa bed downstairs if required. (Extra costs apply for extra bed linen and occupancy)

  Each gite consists of a living room with comfortable chairs, dining table and chairs, wood stove, TV / DVD (with English Freeview channels), wifi, small well-equipped corner kitchen with gas stove and fridge. On the first floor, a bedroom with a king-size bed and a private shower room.
  Outdoor terrace, garden furniture and bbq.

  Shared UNHEATED swimming pool of 10 x 5 metres (July/ August) and secluded sun terrace with sun loungers and parasols. The chalet, which leads to the swimming pool, accommodates a DVD library, books and games and offers a seating area for guests and information about places to visit.

  Large communal garden with table and chairs and pergola. There is also a small sitting area outside each gite with table and chairs and a bbq.

  Other things to do:

Beautiful beaches are 30-40 minutes away and the D day beaches are an hour and twenty minutes from here on good roads.

For small children there is a zoo and a theme park within a 30 minute drive, both highly recommended.

We are shown on google maps as Les Hirondelles. We are next to the small village of Cuves. From the center of Cuves, take the D48 towards Reffuveille. Cross the bridge and we are the third house on the right. There is a sign on the wall that says 'Les Hirondelles'. The entrance is between the long beech hedges. There is parking on site.
