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.

Just returned from 10 sunny days at 11Bis. What a delightful little town, the cottage is right in the centre, good parking, spotless (thank you Ruth) well equipped and an especially comfortable bed! Lovely peninsula to explore, easy quiet roads in all directions, very helpful suggestions for food and activities at the cottage. Perfect. Thank you.

Well our stay at 11 bis is flying by with a week gone already. We are enjoying it immensely. Over the last 12/15 years we've been to France probably 75 ish times. So I wanted to let you know this is probably the cleanest property we have ever stayed in. Had to smile this morning getting a clean tea towel out of the drawer. It had been ironed. You certainly have a little treasure in Ruth. We love the town & have travelled to a few places you have suggested. Loved Maison Biscuit, Barfleur so pretty. The locals are very friendly, no litter - it's lovely. People complain so quickly that we needed

This is a lovely cottage, quiet and peaceful despite being in the middle of the town. Very well equipped and comfortable. Bricquebec is lovely. The shops are excellent (especially the Boulangerie up the hill) and the shopkeepers friendly and helpful. Favourite places - Portbail for the restaurants (a great creperie) St Sauveur Chateau, Lessy for the Abbey & Sciotot for the beaches & the restaurant also Chateau de Pirou. Thank you

We loved out stay at 11 Bis, so comfortable and central for everything. We loved the beaches and all the pretty fishing ports. Made day trips to Bayeux, D-Day beaches and we will be back as there is so much still to see.

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.
