Prestigious B&B Accommodation in historic Manoir an idyllic setting in extensive gardens and grounds. Ideally located for D-Day Beaches and Norman history battlefield tours there are award winning golf courses and restaurants within easy reach.
Le Manoir de Hérouville is easily accessible from the Channel ports of Caen/Ouistreham and Cherbourg and Caen Carpiquet airport.
Serene and beautiful Le Manoir de Hérouville is a perfect gem set in 17 acres of gardens and paddocks amidst quiet rural countryside. Bordered by the magnificent Fôret de Cerisy which offers possibilities for walking, riding and cycling and nestling midway between the ancient Norman towns of Saint Ló and Bayeux it is an ideal location to get away from the cares and stresses of daily life and relax in elegant style.
Accommodation:
There are 3 very large bedrooms and 1 double room available for bed and breakfast guests in the main house. The main bedrooms within Le Manoir are elegantly furnished with much loved family antique furniture each bedroom has an antique canopied king or double bed and in addition are spacious enough to accomodate 2 further single beds if required. All rooms have large and modern private bathrooms, with complimentary toiletries and huge white towels. There is a comfortable and elegantly appointed drawing room on the ground floor where guests may meet before breakfast, relax with tea and home made cake in the afternoon or chat over a glass of something intoxicating or soothing before bed, and a charming and relaxed dining room close enough to the kitchen to appreciate the fragrance of freshly baked bread in the morning.
The Pigeonnier was the Manoir dove cot and its size possibly denoted the social standing of the original builders, now renovated it has been turned into a charming hideaway for 2 or 4 persons. The mezzanine top floor is a twin bedroom with views over the extensive ponds and gardens, the middle floor is a double bedroom with en-suite modern shower room and the ground floor has a small but well equipped kitchen, dining area and a seating area with television and dvd player.
The Pigeonnier may be used either as a self catering holiday cottage for periods of 4 days and over or as bed and breakfast accommodation. Bed and breakfast guests in the Pigionnier also have the use of the kitchen and seating area using the building as an apartment rather than just the bedroom available in the main house. Breakfast is served in the breakfast room of the Manoir.
There is a barbecue and garden furniture sited at the lake which all guests are welcome to use for cooking or picnics during the long warm summer evenings.
Positioned astride the June 1944 boundary between 1st US Army and 2nd British Army, close to the airborne landings, invasion beaches, and major sites of the Battle of Normandy, Le Manoir de Hérouville is ideally located for tours of the Normandy battles.
