Needs and animals

2 Dogs | 4 Cats | 2 Farm animals

Our 2 dogs are very loving and love having attention paid to them. Loulou is 14 and tries really hard but his age is catching up with him now. Nala who is 7 just loves having tummy rubs. Both are described as Labrador on their French paperwork, however, when you meet them, you will see that this is not quite accurate?. Harvey, our cat, is actually female, and named after the TV character Harvey from the TV series Suits because of her character. Another of our cats is called Sugar. Sadly we lost her brother earlier this year. However, we now have Gracie., who is definitely a bundle of fun. Our fourth cat who is now 1 year old we found on our property looking very ill. We managed to nurse her back to full health after she had surgery for a broken jaw. Also new to our animal house are George and Mildred, 2 chickens who are very friendly and are good layers. There’s nothing like a fresh organic egg. All 6 love cuddles, and love spending time with you.

Nala is frightened of the wind during the night so if it gets too strong she will need to sleep …

House

Our welcoming house is waiting for you in the heart of Normandy. It is in the countryside with local walks for the dogs, but only 5 minutes from the town of Saint Lo. It has a beautiful garden and terrace, ideal for sitting, sipping aperitifs. There is plenty of garden for the dogs to run around in and it is completely secure. The famous D Day beaches and Le Mont St Michel are within travelling distance to visit. There is the local horse riding centre very close by, where I go for rides. So for horse lovers this is ideal. Dale has a huge collection of military history books as he works as a Battlefield guide. These would be at your disposal during your stay. His knowledge is useful for giving you tips on places to visit ( without leaving the dogs for too long ). Our home is very welcoming, light and spacious. It’s a typical sous sol type house with the main house built on top of the garage area. Our garden is large but the animals love it. We have a south facing terrace with seating and BBQ for you to enjoy, especially during the warmer days. Town, and shopping …

We have a south facing terrace with seating and BBQ for you to enjoy, especially during the warmer days. Town, and shopping is only 10 minutes away, with a supermarket just 5 minutes to get to. This is in a car. This would be essential for you as there is no local public transport. There is a lovely market on a Saturday morning if you like cooking. Fresh fish, vegetables, fruit and lots more, including local cheeses and ciders.
The sit is only suitable for a couple as we only have one spare bedroom which has a double bed.
We have nice neighbours ( who only speak French ) but are always pleasant.

Tourism and Leisure

Our home is situated in the middle of the Cotentin peninsula of La Manche. We are situated on the outskirts of St Lo with access to roads leading to the D Day beaches, Le Mont St Michel, Bayeux and many other beautiful Normandy towns and villages.
Opposite the house are the fields owned by the local riding school. If you ride they provide ride outs in the local countryside which I often take part in myself.

Un très bon séjour, dommage que la pluie était bien trop au rendez-vous… Lors de notre arrivée Debbie avait prévu un délicieux diner, et Dale nous a bien aidé avec ses précieux conseils , en ce qui concerne les Plages du débarquement, musées et environs. Il faut préciser que en tant q’ expert et guide professionnel du débarquement il en connait un bout, et peu de le dire… Les animaux sont adorables et très attachants. Loulou et Nalal nous quittaient pas d’une semelle et le soir nous étions tous réunies devant la télé, avec les trois minous en plus. Super maison bien au calme dans la nature et espaces verts. Belle endroit pour des randonnées quand la météo n’est pas trop capricieuse. A recommander Un séjour à conseiller chez Debbie et Dale, aussi pour l’accueil, l’environnement et pour son l’histoire de la guerre de 1940 – 1945. Merci a vous tous

Debbie et son mari Dale très sympa et très accueillants. Nala et Filou très gentils et câlins, dommage que Nala n'est pas supporté Bianca, mais comme dit elle protège sa maison, ses occupants, ce qui est normal. Maison spacieuse, lumineuse, il y fait bon vivre. Je recommande

We really enjoyed our stay at Debbie & Dale’s home near St Lô in Normandy. Filou and Nala (dogs) as well as Harvey (cat) are very affectionate - Gary (cat) is much more independent!! The home is very comfortable and the south facing terrace has a lovely outlook and very pleasant to sit in the evenings. The location is rural but surprisingly close to all the amenities in St Lô. Debbie and Dale gave us excellent instructions on house and animal care as well as some great suggestions on nearby attractions and restaurants.
