My husband and I rented the former bakery on the estate, which has been comfortably modernized as a quaint apartment. The first floor is occupied by the living/dining area with a sofa, club chairs and a table with chairs; a small galley kitchen with sink, apartment-sized refrigerator, electric kettle, stove, and toaster. Kitchen cleaning materials are provided. A rustic sideboard houses a set of dishes and pots, and the drawers hold utensils and a variety of useful tools, (most essentially a corkscrew!) The bedroom and bath are accessed via a staircase. The bed is very comfortable; the room features beautiful, huge exposed beams. The bathroom is roomy, and has a tub with hand-held shower head , (but not a shower.) Parking is provided on the property if you have a car, and the gate requires an access code to enter from the road.Our 6-night stay was delightful! Christophe is a charming gentleman, and has brought la ferme manoir to a level of country living that is sophisticated and yet rustic. Two books display the history of the estate, and the fantastic tale of the renovation. There is a walking path to the city of Bayeux, but we're a bit older, and thus drove into town. We visited the Bayeux Tapestry Museum and the Cathedral, walked to cafes and restaurants. We drove to the museums and beaches of WWII, and visited the town of Sainte-Mere-Eglise. We also spent a day in the walled city/monastery of Mont-Saint-Michel. The la ferme manoir is highly recommended! Enjoy.
