11 bis

We found this a wonderful gite, well presented and well equipped. Also beautifully decorated. One of the best gites we have ever stayed at in France. Excellent location with easy access to good shops and restaurants. Surrounding countryside and seaside well worth visiting. We were grateful for Bridget's recommendations and particularly enjoyed a meal at Le Vent du Mer and the 1970's Carribbean atmosphere of Goetland 1951! We would return like a shot but unfortunately, as two people in their late seventies, we found the stairs quite a challenge! (We were warned and glad we didn't take heed!)

Briquebec is ideally situated as a base for discovering the Cotentin peninsular and has everything one needs in the way of bars, shops and restaurants as well as a castle. The road is quiet in the evenings and at night. Similarly, the house has everything one needs for a stay. It has its own parking spot right outside, a practical kitchen and living room downstairs with a bedroom, bathroom and an extra little sitting room on the first floor and the comfortable main bedroom and its bathroom up a second flight of stairs. If weather permits one can also sit in the little yard with its view.

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.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at 11 Bis. The house was well appointed and ideally suited for travelling throughout the region of La Manche in Normandy. Our favourite places to visit were Portbail, Bayeaux, Sainte-Mere-Eglise and Utah beach made more poignant with 75th Anniversary events .

11 Bis was all we wished for and more. A quiet oasis in a friendly little town with everything you need on your doorstep and so much to explore in the area. The house is beautiful, clean, well furnished and equipped and was a comfortable retreat after days out. We had no problem with parking or access as we used market day to enjoy what the town has to offer. Owner was in good communication all the way from booking and has someone on hand locally if we needed anything, Easy to get to from Cherbourg and we traveled as far as Bayeux and Mont st Michel with ease. Highly recommend.

The little house is a delight. It's comfortable, surprisingly roomy and well equipped. The upstairs bedroom was really comfortable and I slept like a baby! It is in the centre of Briquebec near the shops and bars and looks onto the castle walls. Briquebec is well placed on the Cotentin peninsula, in the centre so it easy to travel to the various places of interest. The weekly market is a must. The only downside of being in the middle of town is that a couple of times we were unable to get the car in or out but we worked around this and enjoyed village life.

My wife and I spent a really enjoyable few days at this cosy, well kitted out cottage - it had everything we needed and is right in the heart of Briquebec. We loved getting the French bread across the road in the morning and enjoying our breakfast outside. The cottage is very convenient for the beaches and the countryside for walks . The market on Monday morning is fantastic and not to be missed!

We spent Christmas here, and found the house exceptionally welcoming and well furnished, with some unexpected seasonal touches! The kitchen was very well equipped with everything we could possibly need, so that we were able to enjoy a traditional Christmas lunch. The interior of the house was tastefully decorated and immaculately clean. The bedroom and ensuite were very comfortable. An ideal place to stay, in an attractive small market town with good local facilities, and within easy reach of coast and countryside.

We loved our stay here. The house was really tastefully decorated. It was also spotless. The location is brilliant- right in the centre of a gorgeous little town inhabited by really friendly people. We enjoyed walks in the countryside without having to drive anywhere and had some nice meals within a few minutes walk of the house. It was also only a short drive to Portbail and Barneville-Carteret, where again we enjoyed nice walks and great food. A really beautiful bit of Normandy. The house was also easy to find thanks to Bridget's directions so no stress on arrival. Brilliant.

We spent a week at 11 Bis at the end of May and thoroughly enjoyed our time in this lovely, well presented traditional property in the centre of Bricquebec . The house has everything one could wish for and the view from the first floor landing at night is wonderful as it looks out onto the flood light tower at the old chateau. A lovely place to stay.

We were on a Winters break, part work, part holiday. 11 Bis is a perfect place to stay, you can enjoy village life and have the countryside and coast on your doorstep. The House has all amenities you could wish for including Wi-Fi, and the owners were extremely helpful. We hope to make a return visit.

We very much enjoyed our one week stay. The house is really comfortable and well equipped. A great deal of thought has gone into the layout and style. It was nice to be in the middle of such an attractive place as Bricquebec with so many facilities on our doorstep. The range of shops is excellent and includes bakeries, butchers and wine shops. The two restaurants we went to were both very good. There were plenty of places to visit in the area. This was a good place to stay for an Autumn break.

This is the perfect location for a relaxing, stress free holiday. 11 bis has been beautifully decorated and lovingly furnished with everything you could want; from modern bathrooms, with perfect showers, to comfy armchairs. The kitchen has everything needed to prepare dinner with ingredients bought in the local markets. We were there for a September fortnight, had glorious weather so could sit out in the little courtyard beneath the castle tower for aperitifs! So much to see and do in Bricquebec and the surrounding area. Would recommend for anyone wanting a relaxing,comfortable holiday.
