Specifically, it’s just outside the sweet little Omonville Village in La Hague, and is geared to provide a comfy retreat for hikers who take advantage of the area’s hugely underutilised landscapes. Many visitors here are taking on part or all of the famed 180-mile coastal walking trail, GR223, which runs from Mont St-Michel to Cherbourg.

Wow factor Dale Kerrigan’s head would explode at the level of ‘serenity’ here – with all rooms looking onto the ocean or fields. rooms Double or twin rooms are available, and while basic, are very well fitted out, with double-glazed windows in case the distant moo of a local cow might wake you up.  

Bill, please Double or twin rooms range from £56 to £85 per night, depending on the season. Additional bed or a TV is available, but costs extra.
