About
Welcome to the Laiterie de Tocqueville on the Cherbourg Peninsula. Whether you are seeking a Bed and Breakfast or the luxury of a private villa, we can accommodate your needs. The former dairy, founded in 1909, was one of the first cooperatives in the area. In 2009 extensive renovations of the main building, the Director's villa and the lofted garage were commenced and we now offer superb comfort in each, central to all the very best the region has to offer. For sheer relaxation, our property has extensive landscaped gardens, hammocks, comfortable lounge chairs, a library and games room with fireplace and internet. Nearby is a spectacular coastline with the island of Tatihou, Barfleur, the lighthouse at Gatteville, the fort at Cape Lévi, numerous picturesque coastal villages and fortresses and for the more intrepid, the Customs officers' famous path. You can also depart from Barneville-Carteret for the Channel Islands and explore places such as Jersey. Opportunities for adventure are unlimited. All this is enhanced by the gourmet delights of the Cotentin region: mussels from Barfleur, oysters from Saint Vaast la Hougue or Gatteville le Phare, barbecued lamb from the marshes of Mont Saint Michel... Whether you are young or simply young at heart, travelling solo, as a couple or as part of a larger group, you will be warmly welcomed. We would love to share with you some of the pleasure we have living in Val de Saire.
