Photos and Description of the Manche vacation chateau / country house rental Chateau, carriage house, cottage - 19 bedrooms total .

This fairy-tale chateau is in the heart of the beautiful Normandy countryside only 30mins away from glorious sandy beaches opposite Jersey. Dating from the 18thC, the chateau is run as an informal guest house by its English proprietors. The building has many unusual features and lots of space - giant oak beams, Douglas redwood floors, 18thC local stone fireplaces, an unusual dome shaped kitchen and 5 sets of French windows. The large hall, oak paneled dining room and sitting room can all be enjoyed by visitors, as can the 3 acres of grounds. There are 2 further properties on the estate which can be rented in various combinations. The 5 bedroom Carriage House is south facing and forms part of the front garden courtyard. The Mews Cottage overlooks the main courtyard and has 2 bedrooms and a 3rd mezazzine bedroom.
