Overview:
Now
a pension and B&B, La Bonne Vie was renovated with
the help of a local builder who incorporated sympathetic features
to harmonize with the original 18th century stone walls and exposed
beams.
The
tasteful furnishings, in the French style, enhance the light,
open atmosphere. The tiled floors and the old 18th century wood-burning
granite fireplace add to the traditional feel of the property.
Relax
in front of the fireplace in the comfortably furnished lounge
with an aperitif de Normandy. In the summer, sit under one of
the apple trees and enjoy a cocktail or just step out and go for
interesting walks in the countryside. There is a big varity of
birds and birds of prey. If you are lucky sometimes you will spot
a black stork.

| Groundfloor:
The cosy main room is 28 sq m in area. It includes a comfortably
furnished lounge area, and a splendid large French window opening
onto the courtyard looking out at the pond with Mandarin ducks.
The
chef will prepare a wide variety of continental dishes which will
be served by candlelight in the very comfortable dining room. |

Upstairs:
An open plan staircase leads from the main room to your rooms,
one en-suite and one with bathroom and toilet. Both rooms have
been lovingly decorated.
All
bedrooms have high-beamed ceilings and are well equipped with
hanging and drawer space.

Outdoor:
The large beautifully landscaped gardens enjoy the sun all day
and have a variety of fruit trees, Mediterranean shrubs and herbs.
The
organic garden which supplies all the vegetables to the chef,
our chickens, ducks and geese which enjoy the freedom of the garden, supply all
our eggs - for the chef's cakes and ice creams and also the fresh
eggs for breakfast.
There are panoramic views of the country side, the house is situated
on a view point from which you can see the surrounding farms,
rolling hills planted with wheat and corn. Wild life abounds in
the local woods including deer, wild boar and red squirrels.
