table and chairs and English satellite TV. Adjoining is a separate
fully fitted kitchen. Upstairs there is a large bedroom furnished with
new furniture in French traditional style and an en-suite facility.

guests will receive a generous starter pack and bottle of
wine. Although the owners are adjacent they will not be intrusive and
are there to ensure that you have an enjoyable stay. Gathemo is a small
village 10 km south of Vire and only an hour from Mont St-Michel. Lake
