Overview
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, 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.

Another lovely week at La Maison Noble!
By Haslams on 19-Jul-2025Another lovely week at La Maison Noble! Had a delicious meal at La Mare au Lievre - you must visit! Caen memorial museum was well worth a visit, as was Falaise Castle, Arromanches, Monet’s Garden and the Bunker Museum. Have had a few issues with the keysafe and oven but otherwise all was perfect - thank you!
Wonderful second visit
By Ashwells on 31-May-2025We have had a wonderful 2nd visit to La Maison Noble! Our first trip was July 2022. There were 4 generations of our family this time and we made some wonderful memories. The weather wasn't great so the woodturner was wonderful!!! We visited Cabourg, Deauville, Honfleur, Versailles and Eurodisney. Thank you La Maison Noble - we will visit you again soon! x We had the best time ever and I hope we go again! x Thank you for letting us stay. Beautiful house and the garden set it off perfectly. See why you fell in love with it.
Two visits, one in April and one in September
By Geraldine on 13-Sep-2025The house is gorgeous, and so is the garden. The location is so peaceful and calming. There's plenty of room, all the bedrooms are spacious, and mine had a balcony overlooking the garden. All the amenities are catered for, it truly feels like a home from home. I took my laptop and the Internet was strong enough to let me work when I had commitments. The location is convenient for the ferry, local amenities and fabulous sightseeing with beautiful countryside and gorgeous towns within easy driving distance. I'm hoping to go again ... I highly recommend it.

Thank you, Geraldine, for your lovely review. You have really listed the benefits of the property to help other other potential guests decide if La Maison Noble is the right fit for them and their needs. We would be delighted to welcome you back any time. Thank you.
Beautiful area, quiet, comfortable and relaxing house.
By Mike Pearson on 01-Mar-2025The house was lovely - we were visiting Normandy beaches and museums for the week so travel times to and from were 60 to 90 minutes - no problem for us as countryside lovely and traffic (in March) minimal. The house was well equipped, comfortable, the information supplied was perfect et l’ambiance était tranquille. The only drawback was the internet - it was (by standard UK standards) very slow. Not at all surprising in rural France but it is a fact. Altogether my friends and I had a great week.

Thank you for your lovely review, Mike. We are very pleased that you and your friends enjoyed your stay. Your comment about the internet is indeed true so we do forewarn our visitors. Unfortunately it may have been particularly slow when you were there. With 3 days’ notice I was told our provider's contract with Viasat was terminated from 28 February. I set up an account with another provider but it may be the service was disrupted during this period of transition for which I apologise.
