The dining area seats eight people comfortably. You will find all the cutlery, crockery and glassware you need to enjoy the delights of the region.

The local shops and markets sell the finest produce. Vegetables are grown in the fields around the house, fish and seafood can be bought at the quayside and of course Normandy is renowned for its milk, cream and cheese.

There are so many good things on offer, it’s easy to get carried away.

As the dining area is part of the kitchen, the cooks can share the fun (and the wine).
