Perfect for couples! Tasteful renovation and ideal location. Free WiFi.
La Baguette was the 18th century boulangerie for the farm. Now it is the perfect place to relax and unwind in the heart of the Normandy countryside. It is just 7km from the vibrant town of Villedieu-les-Poêles, with its bell foundry, copper workshops, bars and restaurants, and a similar distance from the local landmark of L’Abbaye d’Hambye and its serene riverside walks. The gite is within 25 minutes drive of Granville, the birthplace of Christian Dior, where you can catch a ferry to the island of Jersey for a day trip! The sublime, sandy beach of St Martin de Brehal is also 25 minutes drive. The cathedral city of Coutances is about half an hour’s drive. Mont St Michel, the biggest tourist attraction in Normandy makes a great day trip. You might also like to visit the famous tapestry at Bayeux, and perhaps drive a little further up the coast to explore the D Day landing beaches. La Baguette has its own parking space and a private garden, where you can recline in the sun, enjoy dining al fresco and watch the beautiful sunsets. The property has been renovated to a high standard with oak furniture, leather sofa, and Laura Ashley soft furnishings. The vaulted and beamed bedroom has a king sized bed and a very comfortable mattress. A hair dryer is provided. The lounge area has a comfortable seating arrangement and offers French/English satellite TV and free wireless broadband. The kitchen is fully equipped for those who like to cook whilst away! The property has heating for those that like to visit in the cooler months. There are boulangeries located in nearby Hambye, Gavray and Percy for your morning croissants and these towns also have supermarkets. We will provide a cot and highchair on request, but please bring baby’s own cot bedding. Please note that bookings are Saturday to Saturday.

About the host
Hosted by Carolyn James
We moved to Normandy from Sussex, England, having spent many happy trips to the area in search of our dream home. We enjoy engaging with the warm, kind local folk, improving our French and exploring all that La Manche has to offer.
Why they chose this property
We chose this area for its peaceful surroundings, proximity to sandy beaches, lively local markets, walking opportunities and places of historical interest. The people are unfailingly helpful and friendly too, which you’re sure to experience during your stay.
What makes this property unique
The gite is named “La Baguette” because it was originally the 18th century “fournil”, or bakehouse, for the farm - you can even peep inside the stone and clay oven! Now tastefully restored, you can enjoy the unique blend of ancient charm and contemporary comfort that it offers. With its private garden and far reaching rural views, it is the ideal location for relaxing and recharging.
