The rooms in each cottage can be rented separately or all together.

The Gronde Farm is located between Bayeux and Arromanches in the Calvados region.  Its location, between Bessin, the Côte de Nacre and the D-Day Beaches make it an ideal base for exploring western Normandy, all the way to Cherbourg or Mont-St-Michel.  The Gronde Farm takes its name from the river that crosses Magny, a typical Bessin village.  Here all is calm and tranquil, and yet the beaches and surf are only 6 kilometers away. 

Its high stone walls, now renovated, are an example of Norman architecture of the 17th century—the epoch when the building was constructed.  The farm and its outbuildings are arranged in an L-shaped configuration, and the buildings have been transformed into two unique holiday cottages.  Motorcycles and bicycles can be securely stored in the barn, and vintage automobiles can be parked in the interior courtyard, which can be locked at night (only if both holiday cottage are rented).  Dogs can run free in the courtyard if the gates are closed in the evening.
Each bedroom has a private bathroom, toilet, and television, and the common rooms have a working fireplace—a real advantage once the days turn cool at the end of autumn.  On the ground floor, guests enjoy an outdoor terrace that opens onto a large lawn with a swing set—ideal for families with children.

The Gronde Farm is composed of two holiday cottages:  The Large Cottage (details and photos), which sleeps up to 15 people, includes a ground floor (Mont-St-Michel), a first floor (Jersey) and a second floor (Tahithou); the Cherbourg Cottage (details and photos) sleeps 4 to 7 people.  The rooms in each cottage can be rented separately or all together.  The two cottages rented together can sleep a total of 22 people.
This stylish bed and breakfast—whose walls and interiors have been impeccably renovated—is decorated in keeping with the spirit of the farm, and at the same time makes use of modern technology.  The buildings are entirely heated all year long by geothermal energy, using probes buried 80 meters deep that collect the Earth’s heat.  Solar panels will be installed in the future.
