Lavender Cottage is part of Les Gites De Meterville situated in the village of Gorges in the Manche region of Normandie. Lavender is one of three separate holiday cottages on site. We can accommodate larger groups (of up to 15 people altogether) by arrangement. See our Facebook page: @LesGitesDeMeterville for details of the whole gite complex and to contact us to discuss group bookings. Lavender is the largest of the cottages with four bedrooms. It can accommodate up to seven guests. There is a ground floor double bedroom with en-suite, a double, a twin and a single bedroom. Cots can be provided for an additional fee. Lavender cottage is also pet friendly for an additional charge. The cottage has a log burner in the lounge and also has a number of electric heaters available to ensure that occupancy all year round is comfortable and enjoyable. Lavender also has a self-contained kitchen and dining area as well as a lounge and a bathroom (in addition to the en-suite). It has access to a private garden as well as access to a communal courtyard with secure off-road parking.
Tom and Jodie started visiting France in 2004 as part of the Mazda MX5 Owners club. They fell in love with the country and spent many years visiting different parts of France. They found that their favourite type of summer holiday was to take the ferry from the UK and head to a self-catering Gite in rural France. This gave rise to the dream of running and owning a Gite complex of their own. In 2019 that dream came true and they simply love the peace and tranquillity of their new lifestyle. As a passionate golfer, Tom intends to work his way around the many golf courses that Normandy has to offer! They are pet loving and will always welcome guests and their four-legged friends by prior arrangement. We have a dog, Flo, who loves to greet guests; two cats, five hens and a cockerel. Having taken holidays in France as a couple, with a small group of friends and as part of bigger groups, Tom and Jodie know how important it is for guests to have a lovely home from home, and are guaranteed to offer a warm welcome.
