Neighborhood
The tiny village of Glatigny is just a couple of minutes to the most beautiful, long (and often deserted!) sandy beach.
It is nestled between the two towns of La Haye du Puit and Portbail, both of which have some superb restaurants and great weekly markets.
Barnville-Carteret is also close by and being a summer vacation spot for many Parisians, is a great location to visit in those summer months.
Both Portbail and Barnville/Carteret offer great equestrian stables for horse riding and the rides along the beach aren't to be missed!
Please do visit the village tennis courts, behind the Marie's office in the village square. These are free to residents and you'll find tennis racquets and balls in the barn.
From around June-early September, on most weekends, many towns and villages nearby hold festivals and fêtes with great outdoor music and food.
Most towns also have what is called a Brocante, which essentially is a furniture market, but these really are worth a visit as it is very rare such quantities of antiques are under a single roof for such low prices. By far the best is 'La Clé Des Temps' in Coutances.
There are many WWII sites of interest, one of the biggest being near Caen; the whole area unfortunately is dripping with this bloodied history. There is a book in the house showing damage to the nearby town of La Haye Du Puit, but this is not a unique story.
Mont St Michel is not too far away, and is a breathtaking place, highly recommend a visit.
The Bayeux Tapestry is close by and is an interesting day out.
There are also regular boat rides over to the beautiful Channel Islands of Jersey, (which you can see from Glatigny beach) Guernsey, Sark and Alderney and if you are in the area for a decent period of time, I would recommend a day trip over.
The town of "Villedieu les Poêles" is around 1 hour away (and not too far from Mont St Michel) and is an amazing place to visit to see artisanal metal work, mostly bell forging, which has been the towns main export since the Middle Ages.
Within the house, there are many leaflets and books with more recommendations on what to do in the area.
Specific local restaurant recommendations:
La Haye Du Puit:
'Pom'Cannelle' - this is a traditional but high quality restaurant offering fantastic but innovative food. Although by French standards a little pricier than average, it is such good value for terrific food and a steal compared with British equivalents.
'Le Commerce' - this is similar to our local 'pub', you will find this often full of locals, and for good reason. The generous local food is very well priced and cooked on an open fire in front of you. The set menus are exceptional value for money.
'L'équinoxe' - this is a local bar, often playing live jazz music in July/August. Whilst they don't really do food, the atmosphere is good and a great place for a drink or coffee.
Portbail:
'Aux 13 Arches' - this is a very good restaurant specialising in seafood (much of which is caught within a couple of miles!), this is a 'posher' place to eat, but again, as seems the way in France, it is very cheap for exceptional food.
(Booking recommended)
'Au Rendez-vous des Pecheurs' - a local fish restaurant which overlooks the estuary, and perfect visit for the setting sun. The food is great quality and very reasonably priced.
Whilst we you won't find a 'Croque Madam' on the menu, this is a favourite here!
Other:
'Le Bac a Sable', Lindbergh plague - a very close beach restaurant just down the road. Whilst not always open (ring ahead and do make a booking) this has a very cool atmosphere and often plays great live music. The location is great.
'Hotel Restaurant des Isles (Tortuga)', Barneville-Carteret - this is a great spot for a chill out and a coffee on the beach side. It has a very quality feel, but not uncomfortably so.
The lunch there is also fantastic – some of the freshest I’ve eaten and very good value. A really quality establishment
'Hôtel de la Marine', Barneville-Carteret - this is a high-end hotel and restaurant which is a good spot for a little indulgence!
There is a place called 'La Maison du Biscuit' in the village of 'Sortosville-en-Beaumont' and I am genuinely struggling to work out how to describe it, but I nonetheless do have to recommend it! The best I can do is ask you to imagine a village curated by Willy Wonka and John Wayne, and maybe you'd come close! 'La Maison du Biscuit' sells every kind of biscuit, chocolate, sweets, honey, alcohol, wholefood, I could go on and on! It's also a great cafe to while away a few hours in a very unique place! A recommended place to buy very well presented, but reasonably priced gifts. Let me know what you think!
In most restaurants you can get what is called a Café Gourmand, which is essentially a strong coffee and a selection of miniature desserts - a fantastic indulgence!
The closest town of La Haye du Puit has 3 large supermarkets. The closest and largest being 'Intermarché' which is on the road into La Haye du Puit from the house. 'Carrefour' and 'Aldi' are on the Main Street through town.
Our recommendation for equestrian stables is 'Club Hippique "A Cheval", there is a great range of horses and ponies for all sizes and abilities but they also do rides along the beach, which is magic. Advance booking is recommended as is it dependant on rides.

The total pre-arranged and booked guests in the party must not be exceeded, nor exchanged for other guests during the stay under any circumstances, without prior arrangement from a representative of Glatigny Farmhouse. Amongst other things, this invalidates our insurance. This included day-guests.
As we are a small business, a cancellation by you has a big impact on us, therefore, in the event of cancellation, the deposit will be forfeited. Unless notice of cancellation is received in writing not less than 8 weeks prior to the commencement of the holiday, the tenant will be liable for the full amount if the accommodation is not re-let. We therefore recommend holiday cancellation insurance is taken out.
Should it become necessary for us to cancel a booking we will contact you immediately. We will refund any payments in full and will do our upmost to recommend suitable alternative accommodation in the local area. Our liability will not extend beyond these conditions.
We regret no pets, however well trained, without specific prior consent. Dogs must be kept downstairs and off all furniture. Any mess must be cleared up prior to departure. A cleaning surcharge may apply to a pets stay to enable us to deep clean the property.
All losses, breakages, damage etc., must be made good before departure from Glatigny Farmhouse and the property must be left in a clean and tidy state. A breakages/cleaning surcharge may apply if this is not adhered to. You must notify us of any breakages even after replacement.

We reserve the right to charge for any missing or damaged items.
Smoking or vaping anywhere in the house is strictly prohibited. Please note that offending guests may be asked to leave immediately and may be liable for professional cleaning of any rooms and any outstanding balance of nights booked but not taken through early departure/ejection.

Locked doors to the barn and children's (under 16) access to the rear garden are strictly prohibited for your safety.
Please exercise caution in the mezzanine, on the stairs, when crossing the lane and in the barn - children (under 16) should be accompanied at all times.
Please ensure the front door key is returned and secured inside the keypad on departure. (Please note that in the event that any keys issued are not returned/ lost/ stolen at the end of your stay, then the cost of replacement will be charged to you.)
Please ensure that all doors are locked whenever you are not present at the property. The applies to the house and the barns.
Please note the house utilises a ‘septic tank’ sewage system, so please only allow things that have you have eaten or toilet roll down the toilet otherwise the pump will block and overflow into the front courtyard – not nice for anyone, especially you! This also includes bleach.

We do not allow guests to bring or hire 'hot tubs'. We are not connected to mains drainage and the system is not suitable for taking the discharge from emptying a hot tub, both for reasons of sudden volume of water and the chemical content. The chemicals used in a hot tub to prevent disease and Legionella means that it is illegal to empty one directly into the ground, or where it could run into a watercourse.
We are more than happy to return items that have been left following departure. However, you must notify us as soon as possible, as another guest may find these before us. We only ask you to cover postage and packaging to return such an item.
This property is privately owned and is our home. We expect all guests to enjoy the facilities and treat the property with the same respect that they would with their own house.
