Set at the southern end of Barneville, Normandy about a kilometre to the beach and only a few minutes to all the facilities of the town centre, this 150-year-old farmhouse is built out of the distinctive local 'Pierres de Carteret'.

Across the courtyard, which offers plentiful parking, the former stable block and milking parlour has been carefully converted into three comfortable and thoughtfully planned holiday gites, each including a fully equipped kitchen (microwave, dishwasher, fridge, gas hob and electric oven), a welcoming sitting-room and modern bathroom. Exposed beams and open staircases have been kept giving charm and character to these simply furnished cottage style buildings.

Visitors looking for a bargain or two will no doubt enjoy browsing around Pascale's nearby shop, which is crammed with antiques and brocante!

The twin communities of Barneville and Carteret have much to offer visitors. In addition to the award-winning beaches there are plenty of glorious walking opportunities around the rocky, lighthouse-topped headland and around the coastal fringes. To one side of the town's harbour is a modern marina popular with sailing enthusiasts, while on the other are the moorings of the colourful fishing fleet. These boats arrive laden with baskets containing sea-fresh fish, lobsters, mussels and oysters that feature on stalls at the bustling Saturday market, and on menus at the numerous local Normandy restaurants.

Barneville town centre - just an easy walk from the Ferme des Grèves - has numerous facilities including a supermarket, a boulangerie offering mouth-watering baguettes and pastries, a butcher, a bank and a post office.
