The Manoir – Coach House Apartment

Just a hop and a skip across the channel this beautiful 16th century Normandy towered manoir with its cluster of pretty cottages and newly added apartment is perfect for a low-stress overseas, family holiday. A mere 25 minutes drive from the port of Cherbourg, the Manoir's range of holiday accommodation manage to be the perfect blend of style, luxury and family-friendly practicality. The Coach House Apartment is the clusters latest addition and provides an ideal solution for smaller families of two adults and an infant or accompanying grandparents looking for additional space and privacy. The apartment has a spacious en-suite bedroom with full suite including roll top bath and deluxe shower plus an open plan living area with comfortable lounge and well equipped kitchen. It should be said though that kitchens are rarely used since there are delicious breakfasts and dinners on offer in the manoir's bistro, which is also a nice place to enjoy a evening drink and is used by guests renting rooms in main house on a B&B basis.

The Parker family moved here from the UK just a few years ago and set about creating the perfect escape for families in need of a relaxing and indulgent break away from home. Along with a comprehensive list of baby and toddler gear (see below), there's a heated outdoor pool (fenced), a hot tub, a lovely new indoor play area with games for ages from ball pools to basketball, and five acres of beautiful grounds to explore. The picturesque local village with its friendly bar and grocery store (great baguettes and croissants!) is just short stroll away, whilst a couple of busier towns and number of Blue Flag beaches are within 5-15mins drive.
