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.

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.

A beautiful, quite and relaxing holiday home.
My wife and I were after a quiet break in the Manche countryside. La Baguette ticked every box for us. Perfect in every way. A lovely building, well kept and very quiet. Pete and Carol are lovely hosts and great to chat to, we met old Skip too, their lovely old dog. We took our tandem and had a secure place to leave it. We can highly recommend cycling in the area, it's virtually traffic free. All in all, the perfect place for a quiet getaway for couples.

Une semaine de repos dans un cadre très agréable
La Baguette, la Tiny house tout en confort. Située au calme avec son petit jardin clôturé privatif on a pu souffler quelques jours au calme avec nos 2 poilus. Tout était nickel à notre arrivée. Draps - papier wc - mouchoirs - produits d entretien - gel et savon étaient fournis. Top. De belles ballades à faire dans les environs mais les plages ne sont pas loin non plus (30 min en voiture). Une très chouette ballade à la pointe d Agon, réserve scientifique et lieu d élevage des moules de corde. Un chouette resto à découvrir: en pleine nature à Lengronne (11km). Vraiment une très bonne expérience. Merci à Carol la propriétaire pour toutes les informations fournies.

ABSOLUTELY PERFECT
La Baguette was everything is could hope for! It was private and peaceful first and foremost for us. Secondly it was perfectly clean and beautifully arranged. Carol and Peter, the owners Were wonderful and welcoming and were we to live closer would become great friends. I would recommend this property to anyone wanted to relax and enjoy the Normandy countryside and area. You can reach any part of the region and there are so many things to see. Beaches are 30 minutes away and are just stunning. Will definitely return. 😀😀😀😀❤️

Just lovely!
We had a fabulous two week stay at La Baguette. The gite is ideal for two, clean, cosy and renovated to an extremely high standard. We felt quite at home and would have love to have stayed longer. Carol and Pete were great hosts - we didnt want for anything, but knew that we could ask had the need arisen. The area is glorious - so much to see and do that it was difficult to stay 'at home', but when we did the garden was a joy. BBQ, amazing food and beautiful sunsets. The location too, was great for an evening stroll or cycle. We will definitely be back to this wonderful area of France and would have no hesitation in returning to La Baguette also. Thanks so much, Carol, Pete and Skip

Anniversary break
Booked this property at the last minute to celebrate our 30th wedding anniversary- and the whole process couldn’t have gone smoother! No trouble finding the cottage, even though it is off the beaten track, due to the directions given by Carol & Pete. It is an absolutely wonderful place to stay, clean, comfortable - and just right for 2! The area is calm and peaceful, but you are also not far from interesting places to visit - Bayeux; Dinan and the D-Day beaches were some of our favourites! It has a lovely garden area where you can sit, relax and enjoy a drink after a days sightseeing. Would thoroughly recommend to anyone wanting to get away from it all - and we will definitely be back. Thank you again for a wonderful stay xx

Small is Beautiful.
Beautifully appointed and tastefully decorated. Everything has been thought of, including two bikes for exploring the local area, which was a bonus. It is peaceful and quiet but without feeling isolated in any way. The location is ideal for visiting the south west Cotentin area including Mont St Michel and St Malo in Brittany. One stay at La Baguette will never be enough, we'll be coming back again...and again.

We've just spent a week in La Baguette. It was perfect for us with everything we needed and in a lovely peaceful spot. We spent the week touring the area on a motorbike and with so much to see and great riding roads we can't wait to return.
