Description
La Maison Noble is a well-appointed large family gîte in the heart of Calvados. Thoughtfully furnished with your comfort in mind, the house feels spacious and very inviting, to make your stay restful and enjoyable.
Set in beautiful Normandy countryside, La Maison Noble is a haven of tranquillity, inviting you to enjoy the peaceful location, views over the surrounding fields of grazing horses, and feel like you’re in your home from home. With excellent accommodation and facilities, the gîte also has a large lawned half-acre garden and mature trees to enjoy. La Maison Noble is situated in Beaufour-Druval near Dozulé and the famous town of Lisieux.
Beaufour-Druval is a small village set in open farmland. Its individual homes seem to have grown organically alongside country lanes and the ‘main’ street where the bistro can be found. The other community meeting place is the 13th century church of Notre-Dame-de-Druval. Most fields are laid to pasture. For horse lovers there’s a mix of thoroughbreds through to Shetland ponies as well as other animals such as donkeys and sheep. Look out for the friendly tethered Shetland pony who grazes the grass verges in summer. La Maison Noble is almost the last house along a meandering lane that leads into a green lane for walkers, riders and cyclists.
Dozulé is the nearest small town with facilities to meet your everyday needs. It boasts a Super U supermarket and petrol station, a bank and cashpoint, 2 bakers, butchers, delicatessen, greengrocers, several bars/bistros/eating places, newsagents, estate agents for those looking for a second home, and all the shops you would expect in a small French town.
For dog owners needing the pet passport stamped before their return trip, there is Vet Algia where the staff are very friendly and helpful. The vets enjoy practising their English so you might not get much chance to practise your French. For high maintenance dogs, there is an excellent and reasonably priced dog grooming parlour.
La Maison Noble is close to one of France’s most beautiful villages, Beuvron-en-Auge and within easy reach of all the main Normandy heritage sites, the coast, bustling markets, cider farms, Calvados producers and enticing restaurants.
Bedding and towels are provided free of charge as is electric heating and wi-fi. Initial supply of logs is included. Further supplies are readily available at local supermarkets.
