Domfront with its castle ruins, Norman churches, cobbled streets and half timbered

An attractive 19th Century three storey stone town house. Built into the side of
the medieval towns’ old perimeter wall, it combines modern comforts whilst
retaining many of its original features such as oak flooring in all the rooms,
wattle and daub plaster and a three storey spiral staircase. A continental
breakfast is offered in our comfortable breakfast room on the ground floor which
also doubles as a sitting room with a wood burning stove for the colder months and
a bookshelf stocked with local information, fiction books or card and board games.

Three double rooms, two of which are easily transformed to twin rooms, are
available all with own en-suite bathrooms and unrivalled views.

Attractions

Domfront. Is a town steeped in history dating back to the 11th Century.
Domfront has several close connections with England going back centuries. There
have been many military campaigns conducted from this once fortified stronghold
from as far back as 1010 with many illustrious names who have lived or fought
here.

The medieval town itself retains its cobbled streets, secret courtyards and half
timbered houses with worn steps which sit well alongside the grandeur of the
Mairies and other manor houses. If relaxing is your thing, there are many cafes
and restaurants where you can try the local poiré (a cider made from fermented
pear juice and traditionally drunk from a deep cup and saucer) or a galette
(buckwheat pancake served with a sweet or savoury filling).

Normandy. Only 1 hour from the famous D Day landing beaches and the world
heritage site of Mont st Michel. Or simply explore on horse-back, on foot or on
bikes, the countryside and forests for which Normandy is renowned. We have a
bookshelf stocked with local information in our breakfast room. So you can plan
your day over your leisurely continental breakfast.

The Normandy beaches. Follow the history of the D-Day landings and the ‘battle
of Normandy’. At Arromanches you will find the 360° cinema and war museum.

Visit the English, American and German cemeteries. Norman soil is the final
resting place for almost 20,000 young soldiers who never returned.
