Description
The Gîte is part of a longère, which was built in the 1700's. Originally four houses, three of which consist of the main property, which is occupied by the English owners who live there. The fourth was renovated in 2008 to create the Gîte. This has been done to a very high standard by local artisans, retaining many of its original features, including a beautifully restored original open fireplace with an inset woodburning stove for those cosy nights by the fire.
The beautiful, spacious furnished living room is fully equipped to make your stay as relaxing as possible.
Good sized kitchen/diner, is well equipped for all your self catering needs, including oven, hob, fridge and microwave.
Large downstairs family bathroom with separate shower cubicle, wash basin, toilet, shaving point and heated towel rail.
The spacious master bedroom has been tastefully decorated with original exposed wooden beams. It is fully furnished with a double bed, bedside cabinets, chest of drawers and a wardrobe. The second bedroom is a twin room, furnished with twin beds, bedside cabinet and shelf storage. Good quality mattresses have been provided to guarantee a good night’s sleep, ready for the day ahead.

Guestbook
Gite - La Bucaille
What a fantastic 4 days. Great weather and great food/wine. Great location and accommodation. Mel and Mark are great hosts, very friendly and helpful. Thanks for a lovely stay.
Gite - La Bucaille
We had a wonderful week here - the cottage was perfect, very close to long sandy beaches. Mel and Mark were very friendly. There are some very good golf courses within 40 mins. Wherever we go in the future, we hope we can find a place and hosts like this - it was just as the website said and you don't always get that.
Gite - La Bucaille
We had a lovely, relaxing time at La Bucaille. Bayeux Tapestry absolutely beautiful. Town and cathedral very good. D-Day beaches, memorials and cemeteries essential visit. All beaches in local area very good for those evening strolls before returning to the gite for a few glasses of wine in front of a roaring fire - superb!
