About Tom Reilly & David Streets
We bought La Vaquerie in the autumn of 2004 and started to convert the 2 barns attached to the left of the house in 2010 and completed them early 2014. It was important to us that we retained as many original features as possible, the oak beams have been restored along with original stonework. Having worked in the hospitality industry for most of our working life, Tom owned a restuarant for over 25 years and David worked in hotels for all of his career, so we understand our guests needs and requirements. We live in the main house so are on call to ensure you have a holiday to remember in this lovely part of the Cotentin Peninsula. We were thrilled to be featured in Living France magazine's Autumn 2014 edition. We look forward to welcoming you to La Vaquerie Tom and David

Why Tom Reilly & David Streets chose Saint-Jacques-de-Néhou
We had been visiting the area for a number of years to visit friends and by chance we saw La Vaquerie for sale, in fact the day it went on the market. We fell in love with the house and its great potential and bought it straight away. It's a lovely area to live not far from some fantastic beaches, and so much history. The local community have been extremely welcoming and we are happy to have made many new friends both French and British.
What makes this barn unique
La Vaquerie sits down a winding country lane so is a very peaceful spot but not far from some lovely towns and villages. There are a number of bakeries near by that make beautiful croissants, numerous breads and pastries and are a must to visit. There are markets most days of the week nearby and a number of Depot Vente's if you want to snap up a bargain. The local beaches are clean and quiet. There are some fantastic restaurants to sample with great seafood. We offer a complimentary welcome basket of wine, bread, butter, cheese and eggs and complimentary toiletries in the 2 bathrooms. Bed linen is of a good quality, Laura Ashley. Farrow and Ball & Annie Sloan paints have been used in our colour schemes. For more information go to our website www.gite-in-nomandy.com
