Côté Bohème – Normandy, Calvados
- Cabin for 4
2 adults 2 children: 1 double bed (160cm x 200cm) 1 pair of bunk beds (82cm x 190cm).
In the peaceful Normandy village of Ver-sur-Mer, a couple of minutes' walk from the beach, a wheeled cabin in seaside colours of vintage rose, sea-greens and -greys blends beautifully and naturally with the olive trees and pin parasol of Mylène's Provence-inspired garden. Inside, bright colours, fresh flowers and exotic teas lend a welcoming air, and the B&B next door means you aren’t at all isolated: your delicious breakfast (included) is served in the conservatory just across the courtyard.
The architect who designed Côté Bohème divided the space into simple sections so you can close glass doors to the children's room, say 'bonne nuit, les petits!' and enjoy sunset on your own private terrace. The lower of the two bunks turns into a sofa if there are just two of you, and voilà! an elegant place to have tea. The double at the far end looks over the lawn, and between the two, a swish bathroom is fully plumbed in.
Beach-related activities abound: walking, wildlife-spotting, land sailing; and there are windmills to tour further inland as well as the Bayeux tapestry 20min by car. An adorable place – with a Bohemian edge – for a few days’ break or longer – and all a short hop from the ferry!

"Fantastic converted caravan. Perfect for family of 4 and breakfast was a real delight"

"We loved our stay! Myelene, our host was fabulous. She was so friendly & welcoming. The breakfast which she prepared each morning was delicious. The accommodation itself was beautiful. A cosy little space for us & our 2 sons (age 4 & 2). A great location for visiting Bayeux tapestry & D-day landing sights. Very, very happy."

"It was really lovely. The caravan itself is beautiful. Pretty without being overly twee, just very well thought out. It's in the grounds of the owners gardens, which are lovely, and just a short walk from a spectacular beach. The only thing I would like to have seen were more facilities for self catering, so maybe some plates, glasses and cutlery. That said the breakfast the owners provided as part of the cost was really incredible - coffee, tea, apple juice, local honey, home-made jams, bread, cheese, fresh fruit, yoghurt...all served in their conservatory (it was rainy). They made us feel very welcome and I'd have happily stayed much longer!"

"We loved our stay at Côté Bohème. We were warmly welcomed and felt very at home in our little cottage. It was so cosy and thoughtfully decorated. The breakfasts in the B & B were very tasty with lots to choose from."
