The Experience

Sit with a glass of cider in the sun-trap courtyard, and you’ll be gazing at Bricquebec’s clock tower and the ramparts (complete with grazing goats and sheep) of one of Normandy’s best-preserved castles. And when it’s time for dinner, there are restaurants aplenty at the end of the shop-studded lane. Secluded yet central with pretty white shutters and flowery window boxes, the 200-year-old stone house feels light and airy.

An open-plan living area is bright with photos, leather sofas and an exposed stone feature wall, and up on the landing a wingback chair invites you to rest awhile. There’s a single room off here, with a country-cosy master room up one more flight under the eaves: stripped floorboards, feather bedding, velux windows peeping out between the beams.

You’re left locally made cider in the sparkling kitchen and you can amble to the boulangerie in the mornings to collect fresh croissants.

Reviews

I love 11 bis and its situation – it's a lovely, bright and comfortable house nestling below the medieval tower in the town centre of Bricquebec. You can really soak up French life here. There's a fabulous Monday market selling abundant local specialities. It's a great base to explore the Cotentin peninsula or just stay local, there's lots to do close by.

Really enjoyed our stay on return visit. BIS 11 is so well appointed and comfortable. Great food shops within walking distance. Plenty of places to visit including Sciotot (beach), Barfleur and St Vaast.

A comfortable cottage in a great position at the centre of the village. Shops, bars and restaurants all within easy walking distance and lots of pleasant and interesting places to visit within the surrounding area. We enjoyed our stay and would visit again.

Our stay at 11-bis in Normandy was all we could hope for, very well equipped and spotlessly clean. Such a delightful town to explore Normandy from.

Location

The neighbourhood

Monday is market day so head out for fresh fish, Trappe cheese and lots of other goodies from stalls lining the cobbled streets and town square. Eat at Brasserie Le Relais du Cotentin, people watch at Bar du Centre. Charming and refined Barneville-Carteret is a 20-minute drive for seafront restaurants serving the freshest oysters and mussels and golden sandy beaches for kayaking.

Local points of interest from Bridget Whitehead

  • Supermarkets, garages, banks, delicious bakers, friendly bars, fantastic beaches, wonderful markets, swimming pools and great restaurants. Equally important is the fact that the whole area is steeped in history and all this on your door step!
  • The chateau in Bricquebec dates from the 11th century, sit in market place cafe on the famous Market Day and just people watch with the imposing statue of Napoleons General Jean Le Marois presiding over the town.
  • A little further away on the East coast modern history saw the allied invasion of 6 Juin 1944. Utah, Omaha, Gold, Juno and Sword beaches plus Pegasus Bridge, Bayeux and St Mere Eglise. All ready for you to take a walk through history.
