Charming old blacksmith's cottage in historic Normandy

Le Coisel is an old blacksmith's cottage, parts of it hundreds of years old, laid out on one level in the heart of the quiet Norman countryside. The large lounge retains all the original features including oak beams, a terracotta floor and a generous stone fire place. The kitchens and bathrooms have been upgraded to a modern standard that retains the charm of the original without compromising comfort and convenience. The cottage is situated in a quiet lane about 300m from the little village of Crocy which has its own general store. There is parking for several cars and areas in the garden for sitting or barbecuing. Crocy is 7km away from the market town of Falaise and 30km south of Caen. An ideal place for a restful break or summer holiday with a garden for children to play in or for sitting and relaxing. We even have a petanque pitch so it will be ready if you fancy a game of boule before dinner.
