About this property
Moulin 4 to 6 pers, facing the sea in the grounds of a manor house, pets welcome
Just 12 km West of Cherbourg, the seaside cottage ’The Wheat Watermill’, for 4 to 6 people, is located in the wooded and flower-filled grounds of the Manoir de Dur-Écu (16th century, listed as a historical monument, open to the public in summer). You are at the gateway to La Hague, the stunning natural region at the tip of the Cotentin peninsula, with breathtaking landscapes.
300m from the beach with panoramic sea views. Short or long hikes (GR trails) start right from your doorstep.
Built in a mill dating back to 1808. Located in a rural area (so potentially allergenic). Rated 3 stars nationally.
Terrace facing the sea, furnished with garden furniture. 1 km from shops. Eco-friendly and efficient heating via geothermal energy and radiators. Very comfortable ! For added enjoyment, we have included a wood-burning stove.
Duplex accessed by approximately ten steps. The interior staircase is quite steep. Sorry, this property is not accessible to people with reduced mobility.

On the ground floor: Living room with three windows overlooking the sea, TV, internet, and Wi-Fi. Sofa bed for two people.
Bathroom with bathtub, shower, and toilet.

The cottage and, above all, the surroundings are beautiful – you have a sea view from the window and can see the impressive mansion and its gardens next door (which we were able to visit on Open Monument Day, definitely worth seeing). The holiday flat is equipped with everything you need; there is also an outdoor area with a natural terrace in the shade, where a soothing little stream flows. A special bonus: dogs are allowed. We were greeted very warmly and shown around. There were also pastries for us and treats for the dogs, wonderful! Philippe, his family and employees are charming hosts. We can recommend the accommodation and the location.
Very Nice location, Nice house. Pity you have to go via 1 bedroom to reach the other, was not wel described. Very small fridge for 4 people, should be bigger. Maybe make a Nice terras at the house, around the corner

Wonderful tranquil place
We had a wonderful stay at the gite for over 2 weeks. It was the perfect place to visit the ehole of west Normandy includung Bayeux.
It is close to the sea and to the village of Urville, where the local supermarket Utile had everyting you need and has great opening hours.
The gite itself is cosy and the fact that it is near the castke with great gardens is an absolute plus. The interior is a bit outdated on some occasions an could do with some repairs, but our stay was very much ok. If i visit Normandy again, i would certainly consider booking this again.
We had a lovely stay! We received a very warm welcome with fresh flowers and pastries. The house is beautifully situated and nicely furnished. The castle and its grounds are very impressive. The nearby beach is wonderful. We had a lovely time, but I can't give it full marks because there are a few shortcomings. The bathroom and kitchen are quite dated, and some things aren't in their best shape. The icebox in the fridge is broken, so there's always water in the fridge. Some of the stove's control knobs are missing, the shower head won't lock, etc. Unfortunately, some areas weren't entirely clean, as if the cleaning had only been superficial. For example, there was a lot of dust on the skirting boards, and some of the bedspreads were very stained and could use a wash. All in all, a good house, but not a top recommendation.

Wheat Water Mill at Dur Ecu
We have now stayed at this property 3 times, the location is amazing, the facilities perfect. Fantasic views and great local atmosphere, very peaceful. We have stayed at different times of the year and enjoyed walking, touring the area - the coastline is spectacular.
The cottage itself is very well appointed, clean and has all the self catering holidaymaker needs. The standard of accomodation is very high and the fact that pets are allowed means that we have repeat booked and intend to do so again soon.Within 20 minutes drive from Cherbourg - this really is a very attractive holiday location from the UK. The welcome received and the level of care taken to prepare both the cottage and the surrounding gardens is exceptional.The cottage makes a very relaxing location for reading, resting and chilling out with a good wine, you can eat at home or try out the local restaurants.
The Normandy coastline has much to offer for all ages including the WWII landing zones, wonderful churches and beautiful beaches.
The Cite de la mer Aquarium at Cherbourg is amazing including a full size decommissioned submarine - which you can tour.
This cottage is perfect for couples with pets.
We could not rate this cottage any higher - it's excellent !!!
Absolut den Angaben entsprechend uns sehr freundlich empfangen. Für jeden Hund ein willkommens Geschenk und kein Aufpreis! Auch die Freunde die bei uns waren inklusive, also keine versteckten Nebenkosten! Gerne wieder, merci beaucoup
Es war eine unglaubliche Zeit und wir haben es sehr genossen. Die Gastgeberin waren super flexibel.. wir mussten unsere Zeit dort kurzfristig um einen Tag verschieben. Alles hat toll geklappt
Sehr schöne, stilvolle und originelle Mühle auf einem riesigen Grundstück (mit Wald). Weitläufiger und ausgesprochen schöner Strand (hundefreundlich) fußläufig. Auch der Küstenwanderweg (Zöllnerpfad) in unmittelbarer Nähe. Sehr freundlicher, schneller und unkomplizierter Kontakt. Alles bestens ausgestattet. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt und würden gerne wiederkommen.
Das gesamte Anwesen ist unfassbar schön! Die Gebäude, der Park, das Wäldchen - Wahnsinn, buchstäblich wie im Märchen. Das Ferienhäuschen ist toll, alles da, was man braucht. Ok, es ist nicht alles super neu von der Einrichtung her, aber absolut ok. In ein paar Ecken hätte es sauberer sein können, aber ansonsten war alles tipp topp. Kontakt war auch bestens. Lage könnte nicht besser sein, direkt an einem wunderschönen Wanderweg. Einzigartig: der Blick aus dem Wohnzimmerfenster aufs Meer. Wir werden noch oft an diesen zauberhaften Ort denken!
Séjour merveilleux dans un lieu magique sous la surveillance calme des âmes anciennes du manoir...Calme et chants des oiseaux sont les seuls bruits que l'on entend....gîte qui correspond à la description. Confortable, il y a tout ce qu'il faut. La mer est à quelques minutes à pied et au départ du gîte il est possible de faire de magnifiques randonnées ou tout simplement de se baigner. Je recommande vivement.
Sehr unkomplizierter Check-In.....kurze Einweisung mit einigen Hinweisen: Lage zu den Geschäften, Restaurants etcDie alte Mühle gehört zu dem umfangreichen Anwesen des Herrenhauses DUR ECU..... wir durften uns im sehr gepflegten Garten aufhalten; völlig ungezwungen....Zum Willkommen gab es leckere Biskuitkekse des Bäckers aus dem Nachbardorf: davon haben wir uns gleich die Mitbringsel gekauft!!Spaziergang zum Meer: über die keine Landstraße zum Wanderweg: Sentier des Douaniers.... bei Ebbe Platz ohne Ende; bei Flut verbleibt der Wanderweg und die Felsen der Uferbefestigung zum Hinsetzen und Wellenbeobachtung....Für Ausflüge ist ein Auto eher nützlich: teilweise sind die Entfernungen für das Rad zu groß!Insgesamt eine sehr stimmige Anlage: direkt am Waldrand und am Mühlbach gelegenFür 4 Personen ist das Haus eher eng; vorallem bei Regen.....
