5-star 18th-century manor on 12 hectares of Normandy gardens
Accommodations & Grounds
The 18th-century manor is set on 12 hectares of gardens with a heated outdoor swimming pool and a tennis court. The hotel has 28 rooms, some in the main house and some in side buildings, with unique décor combining historic furniture and contemporary accessories. Bicycle rental is available for guests to explore the surrounding countryside and Port-en-Bessin fishing harbor.
Dining
Two restaurants operate on the property: Le Botaniste and Le Petit Jardin, both offering menus sourced from the hotel's own permaculture garden. Le Botaniste holds a Michelin star and serves refined dishes with local Normandy flavors, while Le Petit Jardin provides a casual bistro setting near the pool. An intimate speakeasy bar on site offers a selection of wine and champagne for post-dinner gatherings.
Wellness & Recreation
The wellness center offers a range of spa treatments and massages, though appointments require scheduling with an external practitioner. The heated outdoor swimming pool is surrounded by sun loungers and umbrellas, with pool towels provided. A fitness center with basic cardio equipment and a tennis court with rackets are available for guest use.
Services & Accessibility
The hotel provides 24-hour front desk service, concierge assistance, and luggage storage for guests arriving early or departing late. Valet parking and a secure parking garage are available on site, along with accessible parking spaces and wheelchair-accessible rooms. Pet-friendly accommodations include pet bowls and pet baskets, with dog beds provided upon request.
