Susan and Dean extend a very warm welcome to you at their beautiful 15th century farmhouse set on 13 lovely acres of old trees and fields in the rural heart of Normandy.

From the moment you enter the splendid avenue of soaring poplars, you will begin to experience the gracious ambiance of this wonderful old house. Whether you are looking for a short break, a long weekend, or even a week's holiday, come to La Beauconniere and enjoy this truly special place.
Welcome to La Beauconniere
The two houses at La Beauconniere sit on opposite sides of the courtyard. The rambing old farmhouse is reserved especially for the guests.
The Old House
The spacious dining room is the hub of the house. Guests are welcome to use the room at any time and may help themselves to tea or coffee. There is satellite TV and a bar in this lovely room, which opens on to both the front and rear gardens. On chilly evenings, a wood stove is lit in the old monumental Cruelly stone fireplace. There is also a DVD collection in the room.
Outside, there are three lovely, secluded gardens, set up with tables and chairs. Each is a haven of peace and tranquility; an ideal place to sit and read or in which to picnic. There are also many fields and trees to enjoy and a great variety of birds. On this tranquil old dairy farm, one may simply idle the day away, enjoying the peaceful serenity of the horses or cattle grazing in the fields.
How about a nice crisp glass of white wine in the shade of the great old spreading chestnut tree in the Secret Garden?
The most beautiful trail for a walk or ride begins right on our doorstep.
When you are here, you can engage in horse riding, cycling, walking on the many marked trails in the Vire Valley, or simply relaxing. Susan, who subscribes to the Parelli method of natural horsemanship, has four horses and two ponies available for those looking for equestrian pursuits, and she goes out most mornings with a small group for a gentle hack. There are also bicycles available for rent and there is a small football pitch. In addition, your hosts and their three polite, helpful children, George, Elizabeth and Oliver, are keen walkers, and would be happy to reccommend a good trail to suit your requirements.
Only 40 minutes to the D-Day Landing beaches at Omaha.
Come and stay with us. It is our hope that once you have stayed with us at La Beauconniere, you will leave us as friends and come back again and again.
