Ideally located for D-Day Beaches and Norman history Battlefield tours Award winning golf courses and restaurants within easy reach.Le Manoir de Hérouville is located mid-way between Bayeux and St Lo, easily accessible from the Channel ports of Caen/Ouistreham and Cherbourg and Caen Carpiquet airport. The main house and Pigeonnier have been extensively refurbished and modernised to a high standard, whilst retaining the original features and character of a pre-Revolution Manoir. The house is in open farmland in the lee of the Cérisy National Forest, which offers possibilities for walking, riding and cycling. The grounds and gardens extend to seventeen acres and include a stocked lake for fishing. Accommodation:
The Manoir de Hérouville is a family home. Within the main house there are two/three bedrooms available for letting the rooms are spacious, well decorated and traditionally furnished with antique four poster king or double bed. Each has large, modern en-suite facilities and extensive views over the surrounding countryside. 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, which denotes the importance of the Manoir, is both unusual and charming. It is arranged on three floors - the galleried top floor as a twin bedroom, the middle floor as a galleried double bedroom with antique bed and en-suite shower room, and the ground floor has a kitchen, a seating and a dining area. Each floor is linked by a steep staircase and thus the Pigeonnier is only suitable for the able-bodied and independent. Battlefield Tours:
