About this property

Perfect for couples! Quality renovation and ideal location. Free Wifi. Bikes.



La Baguette was the 18th century boulangerie for the farm and still has the original clay and stone oven. However, this is now the perfect place to relax and unwind in the heart of the Normandy countryside. Situated just four miles from the vibrant town of Villedieu-les-Poeles, one mile from the nearest bar / shop for your morning croissants and twenty minutes from the beach at Brehal, it is a perfect place to enjoy the peaceful surroundings yet to be close to bars, restaurants, historic places to visit, and of course, the Normandy landing beaches. Bayeux and Mont St Michel are within an hours drive and Granville, known as the Monaco of the north as well as the birthplace of Christian Dior, is less than thirty minutes drive.
La Baguette has its own private garden securely fenced for any well behaved four legged friends.Here we hope you will enjoy dining al fresco, watching the beautiful sunsets or reclining in the sun. Bikes are provided for the more energetic (please bring your own helmets) and there are walks from the property that can take you to the fishing lake. Cows outnumber neighbours and the occasional passing tractors will outnumber cars!
The property has been newly renovated to a high standard. Oak furniture, leather sofa and footstool and Laura Ashley soft furnishings throughout. The bedroom is vaulted and beamed and the king size bed has a very comfortable mattress. A hair drier is provided. The lounge area has a comfortable seating arrangement and satellite TV is available as well as free wireless broadband and an iPod dock. There is also French satellite TV available. The kitchen is fully equipped for those who like to cook whilst away!
The nearest supermarket is at Gavray and it has a petrol station and car wash. A post office can be found both in Gavray and Villedieu.
We will supply a cot and highchair upon request, but please bring your own cot bedding. The property has heating in every room for those who would like to visit in the cooler months and is festively decorated for those that visit over Christmas and New Year.

Please note that apart from Christmas, all bookings are Saturday to Saturday.

Der perfekte Ort!
Nach langen anstrengenden Wochen/Monaten haben wir einen Platz vorgefunden, wo wir genau das bekommen haben, was wir gesucht und gebraucht haben! Eine wunderschöne Landschaft (wie immer in der Normandie), ein schnuckeliges Häuschen mit allem, was man braucht, ein wunderbarer Garten (eingezäunt und ausbruchsicher für unseren Yoshi), ganz viel Ruhe und Stille und natürlich zwei wunderbare Gastgeber!! Immer ansprechbar und hilfreich aber gleichzeitig auch so diskret und so wunderbar britisch, ganz tolle Menschen. Die Umgebung bietet natürlich extrem viele Möglichkeiten für Sightseeing, aber unser Highlight war wirklich dieses kleine Refugium, das uns so viel Entspannung und Ruhe gegeben hat! Wir kommen wieder!

About the host

Hosted by Carol Elms

Host profile image
We are a retired couple who live in the UK but spend much of our time in Normandy or sailing in Spain with our golden retriever, Skipper.

Why they chose this property

We fell in love with this property after searching Normandy for a year! we spend many weeks in the farmhouse and realised that the boulangerie would make an ideal get away for a couple hence the renovation completed in February this year. La Parquerie, Le Mesnil Garnier is in a rural and peaceful location yet close to quality restaurants and vibrant towns. Perfect for walking and cycling. The beaches are marvellous and worth the 20 minute drive any time of year.
