Photos and Description of the Barneville-Carteret vacation estate rental
6 bedrooms,4 bath/ shower rooms, sleeps 12 - (Guest cottage optional)

Set on 100 acres of luscious rolling countryside with its centennial oaks, streams, ponds, and just 3 miles from the Atlantic Ocean's beaches, this family house boasts a tennis court and fresh water swimming for the sportsmen, lazy afternoons tapping on the Steinway or perusing one of the thousand volumes in the great panelled library for the reflective. It is furnished with the family's collection of art and furniture that spans 4 centuries of French master craftsmen's work.

The current house is said to have been settled in the 14th century. All that remains of the older house is the part that is the kitchen today: wattle walls on a stone foundation sunken by the passing years. Extended mainly in the 19th and 20th century, the last 20 years of restoration and extension have yielded what you can see and enjoy today.

Supplementary guests...: Guest cottage, sleeping 3 is optional.

NOTE: Rental rates depend on number of persons using property or number of bedrooms used.

Wonderful, unique, enchanting...

Submitted: May 22, 2013 Stayed: May 2013
......

It was wonderful, unique an enchanting.
I can’t even begin to describe the exceptional charm of the house
or the unfailing thoughtfulness of your housekeeper.

Many thanks again – in the name of all the guests in the house – for this wonderful time
we had and all those fascinating books. It was very hard for us to leave this place.

As soon as some of my projects in the future are completed, we would very much like it to
come back to this place...

Domaine Magnifique

Submitted: May 22, 2013 Stayed: May 2013
......

Nous revenons tout juste de la Croix Rompue où nous avons passé un très agréable séjour. Votre domaine est magnifique, construit avec beaucoup de goût. Nous avions tout le confort nécessaire ......

Je reste à votre disposition si besoin et en espérant avoir l'occasion de revenir dans cette belle et chaleureuse demeure, je vous souhaite une très bonne continuation.

Normandy Manor House

4 of 5
Submitted: September 27, 2012 Stayed: September 2012
Peace and tranquility personified. The setting is stunning. A pond and gently falling lawns with a pastoral backdrop. Great to sit on the patio to see the sun rise and bask in golden colors at sunset (with a glass of wine). The manor is quite spacious with Library as the most stunning and comfortable room with a Steinway piano and great books in the gallery. With many bedrooms and bathrooms the Tower suite is most special. A real getaway! The negatives are few and manageable. The gallery in the Library has no rails which can bother people who have difficulty with heights. And there is a shortage of closets or armoires. The housekeeper Madame Hicher was a gem helping us to understand the house and solve problems.
Owner's Response: In the main library, the restored oak panelling and mezzanine structures have needed time to settle into their new home. The guard-rail should be up by late Spring 2013. All rooms have hanging and cupboard space. either within the room or immediately adjacent.

Fantastic Escape For The Family

5 of 5
Submitted: June 12, 2012 Stayed: June 2012
We had a fantastic stay, the house was beautiful and the grounds were truly amazing. Great fun was had with the sports available (Tennis and Table tennis etc) keeping our family entertained for hours, along with fishing and looking at natures creatures around the property, frogs, ducks, birds and cows etc, which our 5 year old particularly liked.

paradise found

a five star rating is unsatisfactory, make it ten!

equally inadequate are words to describe this treasure chest -
you have to go there to believe it - and to find the magic of the place -

"And this, our life, exempt from public haunt, finds tongues in trees, books in the running brooks, sermons in stones, and good in everything."
(Shakespeare)
