The Experience
A lovely space for families to gather for a proper seaside holiday. Buy fresh oysters, crab, mussels direct from the producers or eat them at one of the many pop-up restaurants during the summer. Visit cool beach bars – sometimes they have live music – or cycle along the peaceful lanes (you’ll find bikes to borrow) into Gouville, 3kms, for your morning croissants and baguette. Visit the market on a Friday and bring back your spoils to the big kitchen – a great place to cook with room for everyone to help.
Bedrooms (one downstairs with a door to the garden and pool) are large and light with exposed stone walls or vibrant wallpaper, snazzy bathrooms, colourful art and lovely views. On rainy days there’s a roaring wood-burner in the living area and plenty of indoor games plus a video projector for movies – there’s a separate games room too.
Float in the big pool, cook on the barbecue, sample some local wines or cider. Breathe out.

We’ve just returned from a wonderful week in Normandy, the weather was a bit fickle but there was plenty for us to do, indoors and out and about. The house is perfect, full of character and has absolutely everything you need for a family stay - we hope to be back next year!

Highly recommend a stay at this gorgeous house. So well equipped and thoughtfully designed for guests’ comfort - we had everything we needed and more! All the rooms are spacious and uniquely decorated. The outside areas are quiet and peaceful with more space than appears from the photos. Wonderful pool area. Excellent choice for any family holiday and for us, perfect blend of privacy and shared space for a multi- generational stay. Thank you to James for being a wonderful and attentive host both by email and in person.

We really enjoyed our stay at La Reverie and want to thank James for making everything so easy for us. Since we reluctantly returned home we have been telling family and friends how relaxing it was. Although the house has everything you could possibly need, it also serves as a great base to explore this highly interesting region. Highlights include friendly locals, restaurants, fresh seafood direct from the producers, markets and the vide greniers. James is very knowledgeable about all of these and his recommendations were always helpful. We look forward to returning soon.

Location
The neighbourhood
It's quiet in the hamlet and the lanes are very good for walking and cycling. Gouville has everything you need: two boulangeries (apparently you opt for the one with the queue, Boa the pop-up bar, Les Dunes restaurant and The Tandem shack for pizzas. Here there are miles of sandy beaches for watery fun and sports. Antique hunters will adore La Clé des Temps where the prices come down until sold.
Local points of interest from James Mayhew
- Situated halfway down the Normandy peninsular on the west coast and a five minute drive from the sea, La Reverie is Ideally located to take advantage of all this part of France has to offer: great beaches, great food and a huge choice of cultural outings.
- Officially Awarded 5* La Reverie is fully equipped and beautifully appointed, you'll find all the comforts of home, and more. With Freesat TV, a Hot tub, heated pool, BBQ, and a kitchen with an integrated coffee machine, boiling water tap and induction hob
- When you've relaxed in the pool or the spa, and fancy an outing, Mont Saint Michel, The Bayeux Tapestry, the Normandy landing beaches and the Christian Dior museum in Granville are all within easy reach. There's masses for children to do as well.
- If you like eating out, choose from the Michelin starred, to eating Moules Frites with your feet in the sand. 'La Cale' is a must. Alternatively head to Lombardie in Coutainville and pick up one of their freshly prepared meals to bring back 'home'.
- The heated pool is protected by a hard electric cover to keep our younger guests safe and parents stress free. The pool is close to the house, so the children are never out of sight. Watch the sun go down from La Reverie's terrace or one of the beach bars.
- If you need more space for your holiday, do have a look at my other property, La Brocanterie, sleeps up to 10 also on Sawdays!

Introducing
James Mayhew
James is friendly and welcoming. He's been living in Normandy for very many years and has lots of in-depth regional knowledge. He worked in finance, then became an antiques dealer and now concentrates on running the gites and making sure you have the best time.
Magnificent! We have just returned from two weeks at La Reverie and we can't wait to return. We needed a relaxing break and La Reverie was perfect. The September weather was mixed, but we managed a few sunny days by and in the pool. The house is hugely comfortable - we were just two, but it would happily accommodate a family (or even two families). The house has been decorated throughout with charm and style so you really feel like you're in a home from home rather than some featureless gite. Everything is comfortable and high spec and you will love it! James is an excellent host.
