Overview

Situated in the pretty village of St Georges de la Riviere, less than 2km from the beach, Les Pommiers (6 rue Bonvalet) offers the perfect base for a Cote des Iles holiday. The cottage is in the centre of a peaceful traditional French seaside village and is situated on the road leading to the beach. Les Pommiers is a studio cottage with mezzanine bedroom [- accessed by a short flight of 'grenier' (attic) stairs - these have narrow treads].Les Pommiers is not suitable for a wheelchair. However, the sofa-bed/kitchen/living areas, plus shower room are on the ground floor and would be suitable for a guest with limited mobility. The gite opens onto a walled south-facing courtyard (off-road secure parking), with an enclosed and gated orchard. This is an ideal play area for young children. The situation is superb for a holiday spent lazing in the dunes, launching your boat from the St Georges quay, trekking on horse back or with donkeys, or cycling and walking along the miles of sandy coast, Our cottage is also well placed to explore the Normandy bocage and visit the chic sailing resorts of Barneville Carteret and Portbail.
Garden loungers are available plus BBQ, table and chairs for outside dining.
Next door to Les Pommiers is Les Mimosas (please see separate entry by clicking on Cherbourg). If two families or friends are staying in both properties, they may be linked by an internal garden gate (safe from road) - ideal for a young family and grandparents.
St Georges de la Riviere, is famous for Les Dunes de St Georges on a totally unspoilt beach just 20 minutes walk, or 5 minutes drive from our cottages. The beach has a boating slipway and free parking. Golf:
Nine-hole golf course in neighbouring village, St Jean de la Rivi're, close to sea. Cycling: If you would like to hire bicycles, we are able to collect them for you from the inexpensive Bike Hire shop in nearby Portbail and return them at the end of your stay. The Cotentin peninsula offers wonderful cycling routes, with gentle undulating countryside and beautiful quiet lanes.Special interest holidays:
Les Mimosas and Les Pommiers are ideally situated for cyclists or walkers. It is possible to arrive on foot, via a ferry into the port of Cherbourg and travel by bus to St Georges de la Riviere. Those wishing to arrive by bicycle or on foot can also do so between May and September via the port of Carteret (see travel details below). A myriad of flat tiny lanes connect the coastal villages to beaches. The undulating bocage is around half an hour by bicycle inland from the coast: a network of high hedged quiet roads and bridleways criss-cross the peninsula.
A "Train Touristique" runs from end June to beg September on Tuesdays and Thursday between St Georges and market towns Portbail and Barneville-Carteret.Travel:
Nearest airport is Caen (90 minutes drive) or Cherbourg (40 minutes). Ferry services: LD Lines from Portsmouth to Le Havre/Newhaven to Dieppe is a good ferry choice with sensible prices: The company has just introduced 180 degree reclining seats for night crossings. Brittany Ferries has routes into Cherbourg (45 mins by car) and Caen (100 mins by car).Distances:
The sailing resorts of Portbail and Barneville-Carteret are both 10 minutes drive from cottage.Further details: The village has an epicerie for general groceries and adjoining bar with open log-fire on cooler days.
The market towns of Portbail and Barneville Carteret are both within a five minute drive (15 minutes by bicycle). Both towns have sailing schools that also offer sand-yachting and boats and yachts for hire. The neighbouring village to St Georges, St Jean de la Riviere, has a nine hole golf course and riding school. In the summer season there are usually day trips available to the Channel Islands - from either Portbail or Barneville-Carteret.Booking notes:
