Property Summary (FR208)
Special Offer: 10% off in May including bank holiday, now £360/wk
A three bedroom smallholding nestled in the beautiful Normandy countryside on the outskirts of the village of Lapenty. It is ideally suited for a solitary retreat or a family holiday - we have farm animals around to keep the children occupied! We have converted the old stable block to self catering accommodation retaining many original rustic features combined with modern comfort to create a "home from home". This is a wheelchair accessible gite, specially designed for all those with mobility difficulties. Saint-Hilaire-du-Harcouet is a large market town, only 5 minutes away from Les Cours. There is a large public park and two lakes, and this area covers 3.5 hectares. Above the park is the large Neo-Gothic church, consecrated in 1855. The windows in the church are truly works of art by Le Chevallier. Lots of bars, restaurants and shops give the town a very lively air, and unusually for this area, Sunday morning finds the town bustling. There are restaurants for every occasion, from sandwiches, plat de jour, pizzas and top class hotels. There is also a swimming pool here and cinema. The beaches nearby (well within the hour) are very safe and accessible with wonderful scenery. Carolles is our favourite beach, as one side has rocks and rock pools where you can see people collecting shellfish. The other side has a large smooth area of sand.
Our self contained Gite is situated well away from the our farmhouse to ensure complete privacy. Double doors lead into the lounge, which is divided from the traditional French kitchen/diner by the original stable mews woodwork. On the first floor there are two further double bedrooms and an additional shower room. All the usual amenities are provided, including TV, CD player, even adapters to enable you to use your English equipment. English satellite TV can be available if you wish.
Guests can enjoy wheelchair access via a wrap around decking to the front and side. The ground floor en-suite bedroom has a wheel in shower, with seat, grab rails, and specially adapted WC. All ground floor doorways are extra wide, and all controls, light switches etc are sited so anyone can use them.
Outside there are swings, trampoline and a slide for the children to play on. We provide a welcome pack with tea bags, coffee sachets, milk, sugar, washing up liquid. Sometimes it’s nice to let someone cook for you on the first day, to give you time to settle in and get your bearings. We can provide a hot or cold meal as you wish for all of your party

1 recommendation, rating 5 out of 5
With a family of 3 teenage boys, one of whom uses a manual wheelchair, our needs can be very diverse. We found les cours to be the perfect place for a rural "get away from it all" holiday. The accommodation was perfect for our needs, with the disabled facilities being amongst the best we have experienced in self catering accommodation. The boys all loved the experience of being involved with the owners animals especially the friendly goats. The local area had a lot to keep us busy for 2 weeks, although it was nice to just sit and watch the cows in the neighbouring fields. Rating 5 out of 5, Walls family, Aug 2011
Holiday Reviews from the Owners’ site
As I spent quite a long time in a wheelchair following surgery, I realised for people with mobility problems and their families the choice of accommodation was very limited. So I set out to provide a glorious rural retreat that anyone could enjoy, regardless of whether or not they were in a wheelchair."
‘Beautiful area and fantastic gite. Had a superb holiday. We will definitely be back.’
‘Thank you for making the stay in the gite enjoyable, problem free and relaxing.’

‘We have enjoyed the whole of our holiday. Look forward to joining you again.’
