About this property

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.

A week of total relaxation

An amazing week in Normandy. La Baguette was beautiful and had everything we could possibly need. A quiet location but close to shops and places to visit. Would definitely recommend both Mont St Michel and the zoo at Champrepus. Thank you so much for a great week Carol and Pete

Normandy Break

The property is in a rural location, quiet county lanes that are very good for walks & using the bikes which are provided ,fun. We don’t have dogs & whilst the house is dog-friendly, it doesn’t smell of dog at all and it’s very clean. Carol & Pete are very kind & helpful hosts, easily contactable & good communication. Directions to property were very easy to follow. A suggestion would be to shop at a large supermarket en route before arriving at the property.

About the host

Hosted by Carol Elms

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.
