Barfleur being in the Cotentin peninsula, has a similar micro-climate to The Channel Islands which gives mild temperatures ,exotic and lush vegetation. The preserved coastline offers a wide range of habitats and is kingdom to Nature lovers. There also are varied types of beaches: rock pools, creeks, dunes... Barfleur is ideally spotted to discover the rest of the area: historical sites such as the Normandy Landing Beaches, Le Mont Saint Michel, Bayeux Tapestry but also the Natural Park des Marais du Cortentin, the aquariums of Cherbourg.

Just perfect

Villanne Birmingham, England
Review Submitted: August 13, 2009 Date of Stay: July 2009
My family (of 11 people) has been holidaying together in France for 15 years and this location was the best ever. Beaches, shops, restaurants etc were within walking distance, the location overlooking the harbour was superb and the house was a 'home from home' with everything that we needed.
Adding the excellent service from the agent and the easy drive from Cherbourg this will be a favourite for some time to come.

great house in picturesque village

oustaou Winchester, Hants, UK
Review Submitted: May 18, 2009 Date of Stay: May 2009
This is a fantastic house in a great location in very nice village. Plenty to do around without need to use car; Barfleur is very picturesque and plenty of sightseeing opportunities few kms around. Lovely house just across the harbour. Quite safe with kids who have plenty to play with. Great rocky beach few meters from villa. Inside, very spacious - we were 12 and quite comfortable. Easy access from Cherbourg makes it also very suitable for Week Ends. We'll be back for sure! I would thoroughly recommend.

We really enjoyed the house,spacious, well-equiped & clean. Lots of activities in this lively little port, close to shops and the fresh fish directly from the boats a must !
The area is well-preserved with lovely surrounding countryside & beaches.
Hoping to go back very soon for another stay !

We had a lovely holiday in this very well located and well appointed house with lovely views over the harbour. We also enjoyed BBQs in the front garden and meals outside in the sunshine. It was very well situated for cycling and sightseeing in the area.
