La Musardière, a cottage 5 mn from Omaha Beach, in the heart of the Dday beaches

La Musardière is a charming, bright cottage, pleasant to live in, with all modern comforts. Its surface area is 73 m2.

With its two bedrooms, this cottage for 4 to 5 people is perfect for accommodating two couples or a family of up to 5 people. The upstairs bedroom can be arranged for both children and a couple, offering accommodation flexibility. In addition, each bedroom has its own bathroom, thus guaranteeing total autonomy and privacy for all occupants.

Its location in Formigny is ideal for visiting Normandy. The famous fine sand beach of Omaha Beach, 5 km long, is 5 minutes by car. The surrounding nature offers beautiful walks or bike rides along the coastal paths, in the Cotentin and Bessin marshes. The magnificent medieval town of Bayeux is 10 minutes away, Port-en-Bessin and Grandcamp-Maisy, two charming fishing ports, are 15mm away, Mont Saint Michel is 1h30 away, etc. La Musardière will offer you a haven of peace after your days exploration. You will also enjoy its pleasant garden equipped with deckchairs, a barbecue and a south-facing terrace with a garden table and chairs.

This fully restored accommodation occupies the former bakery of the outbuildings of a former small manor farm which has retained all the authentic character of Bessin.

The owners' house is approximately 40 meters away. Private parking at the foot of the cottage can accommodate 2 cars.

All the usual shops await you in Trévières (5 minutes by car). Formigny also has a supermarket with its daily bread supply less than 2 minutes by car.

Fabulous property and hosts
Our stay at La Musardiére was fabulous , the accommodation is brand new and immaculate and Marc and Bénédicte the hosts were absolutely amazing , they can offer so much advice about the local area and places to visit and eat , they were fabulous with us when my mum had an accident and ended up in the local hospital, we would now class them as friends, we would have no hesitation in returning and highly recommend anyone to stay there

Amazing hosts and beautiful property
Perfect. One word to describe our stay. From the information pack sent prior to arrival to them greeting us, looking after us and waving us off our stay was perfect. Property was immaculate. Modern and new but also traditional. Location was suitable for visiting all of the Normandy coast.

A 5 star stay in a 5 star cottage.
Our week in La Mousardiere was wonderful. The cottage was beautiful with a newly renovated modern interior. Everything was spotlessly clean and the modern kitchen was equipped with everything you could want and more. Our hosts Benedicte and Marc were a lovely, welcoming couple who could not have been more helpful in providing us with lots of suggestions for restaurants and visits. Certainly worth another visit.

Lovely place, wonderful hosts
First, Bénédicte and Marc are the best hosts I’ve ever had. They met us at the cottage and greeted us as family. They gave us so many wonderful treats and suggestions and made our trip more memorable. The cottage is beautiful, spacious, comfortable and spotless. It has everything you need. The location is beautiful and quiet plus it’s easy to access all the historic and beautiful places Normandy has to offer. I hope to stay there again. Thank you so much Bénédicte and Marc!

Best VRBO Ever!
I cannot recommend this house more strongly, or more happily. It was perfect. It was beyond perfect! If you are visiting the Normandy area, the location is perfect. The little town nearby is adorable. The owners are wonderful, and made us feel so welcome. The beds are comfortable, and it was the cleanest house I have ever been in. The grounds are beautiful. Our only regret was having to leave!

Absolutely perfect
We loved the cottage. Everything has been converted beautifully and with an immaculate finish. The kitchen has absolutely everything you need, the beds are very comfortable and the setting is stunning. Benedicte & Marc are wonderfully kind hosts and gave us lots of suggestions for visits. We would recommend the cottage to anyone looking for a quiet and relaxing place to stay within easy reach of the landing beaches and Bayeux. We will definitely be coming back. Mille mercis a Benedicte & Marc

Absolutely Amazing and Magical Experience
We had the best VRBO experience ever, in this property. It is absolutely beautiful and its practically brand new inside with all the amenities that you have at home. This stone farmhouse is magical and even more magical are the hosts who live a few steps away in the home on the property. They are amazing! When we had a travel snafu, they immediately gave assistance and knew how to help. They are a beautiful couple whose family has owned this property for a very long time. They went out of their way to make our stay spectacular. We spent a week there visiting the Normandy memorials, beaches, historical sites and museums. And like other reviewers, we did not want to leave our beautiful stone farmhouse. If I were to go back to Normandy again, I will definitely stay here.

Schöner Aufenthalt und freundliche Gastgeber
Das Haus liegt sehr zentral, um die Schauplätze des D-Day zu besuchen. Auch Ausflüge zum Cap de la Hague und Mont Saint Michel sind gut machbar. Die Gastgeber waren ausgesprochen freundlich und haben uns bei Fragen jederzeit zur Seite gestanden. Die Unterkunft ist frisch renoviert und mit allem Nötigen ausgestattet. Alles in allem die perfekte Möglichkeit, die Normandie zu entdecken.

Merci
Unser Aufenthalt in diesem zauberhaften Cottage war wunderschön. Uns fehlte es an Nichts. Bénédicte und Marc sind ganz herzliche Gastgeber. Wir haben direkt bei der Anreise unzählige Ausflugstips und Restaurantempfehlungen bekommen. Und auch während der Zeit, bekamen wir von Marc immer wieder Empfehlungen. Wir haben den Aufenthalt in dieser Oase sehr genossen und haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt. Merci beaucoup :-) Catharina & Marcel
