La Bouyardière Chambre D'Hote Bed and Breakfast

Beautiful 1920's French farmhouse in the heart of the Normandy countryside offering a comfortable,  rustic charm hosted by Amanda & Simon  Baxter.  Located in the middle of the Orne countryside in lower Normandy near the beautiful medieval town of Domfront, La Bouyardière is a former farmhouse. The house is close to the regional Normandy National Park, on the border of the Loire region & around an hours drive from the coast. The house offers spacious & comfortable accommodation perfect for long or short stays, individuals, couples & families with or without bikes.

We are located on one of the national cycle routes & also 1km from the voie verte or green way - the former railroads that have been turned into a matrix of cycle paths across France. From our point of access on the voies vertes you can get to Paris, La Mont Saint Michel, & La Rochelle on the Atlantic coast. There is also excellent mountain biking through the national forest which we are on the edge of.

For the triathletes amongst you we have a great open water swimming lake at La Ferté Macé as well as an indoor 25m pool, and many kilometres of paths through the forest, green ways & roads to train & see a beautiful part of France.

Please do contact us with any questions - we are happy to help plan your tour!

We are relatively flexible but ask that most check-ins are between 4 pm & 11pm, and check out is by 10am. No problem with requests outside this if we can accommodate your needs!

We offer a basic bed & breakfast package but can equally offer a take out lunch: picnic & hotel de table (additional evening meal) if you wish. Means you ride & we take care of the bits that can get in the way!

We have 2 rooms with private shower/ toilet facilities. Our family room has a king-size double and 2 singles. Our other room is a king-size double. Both rooms have TV's with Netflix & Amazon Prime videos. Wifi is free. We provide water in the room also.

Our guest lounge/ dining room is where you have meals & also grab a coffee or tea.

La Bouyardière offers video protected bike storage, a hosepipe to clean down your bike, tools to borrow if required.

We also offer a washing & drying facility for clothes - often needed after a long day in the saddle.

Locally we have the lovely city of Domfront where there is a great choice of cafes, restaurants, bars & shops - 5 minutes by car or around 15 by bike.

Domfront is a medieval town that is steeped in history having been built by the Normans, conquered by the English & occupied during World War 2. Since it is on a hill & the highest point for many kilometres, the views from the castle & other high points is stunning.
