With young children in mind, there are stair gates top and bottom, and the garden immediately outside the house is cordoned off with a fence and a lockable gate.
The house has a small playroom to one side of the kitchen, conveniently placed to keep an eye on your children while you relax in the kitchen or sitting room to the other side. There is a selection of toys, books and art materials.
In the garden storage barn you will find badminton and croquet, as well as a waterproof gazebo and comfortable garden furniture. And in the top garden there is a little 'obstacle course' consisting of a swing, rope ladders, ropes and a hammock.
The beaches closeby are perfect bucket and spade venues, always uncrowded,.At low tide the sea goes out for miles, and at high tide it is shallow for a considerable distance. The seaside villages are all very child friendly, especially the cafes and restaurants. The sea is surprisingly warm for swimming.
There is an excellent riding school in the nextdoor village of Ouville that runs children's classes on a regulabasis.
There is also an good sailing school in Coutainville, that again runs courses for beginners as well as more experienced sailors.
