Country getaway at “Au Havre du hameau Lay.”
In Le Havre du Hameau Ley, let yourself be charmed by an authentic little stone house nestled in the heart of Cotentin. Here, time slows down: aperitifs and barbecue in the setting sun on a south-west facing terrace, gentle awakenings with the view of a small pond, panorama on a wooded garden... and in the evening, the warmth of the wood stove for cocooning moments. A true haven of calm, ideally located for getting away from it all and exploring the many wonders of northern Cotentin in all seasons.
