About this property

Domaine de la Blanchère

At the crossroads of the Orne, Calvados and Manche departments, in the heart of the Suisse Normande region, the Domaine de La Blanchère welcomes you to its medieval walls. Come and relax for the duration of your stay; you are our guests in this haven of nature and calm.

The estate, made up of several buildings forming an inner courtyard, is set in 3.5 hectares of land bordered by hedgerows. The driveway is lined with centuries-old oak trees. You'll discover the 15th-century architecture that gives this place its charm and character. Exposed stonework, monumental fireplaces and mullioned windows combined with modern comforts will win you over.

The Manor, which sleeps 6, is entirely private. Two extra beds are available on request to accommodate two additional guests.

With a surface area of 230m², the Manoir offers :
- on the ground floor, a large living room/kitchen, a lounge, a suite accessible to people with reduced mobility comprising a bedroom (1 double bed 180 cm), a separate lounge, a shower room and a WC.
- Upstairs, 2 bedrooms (2 double beds 180 cm), each with en suite bathroom and WC.

The indoor swimming pool, heated all year round by geothermal energy, is located on the first floor of a neighbouring building and is open from 8am to 12.30pm and from 2.30pm to 7.30pm. There is a large terrace where you can relax with a view of the Normandy bocage.

An outdoor barbecue, petanque pitch and children's games are available on the estate. There are also plenty of cultural and sporting activities on offer: visits, discovering the Suisse Normande region and its heritage, hiking, cycling, horse-riding, kayaking, paragliding, golf, etc. We're here to help you fulfil your dreams.

Well-behaved dogs are allowed with a supplement of €30/stay and a commitment to forbid them access to the bedrooms and sofas.
Unfortunately, cats are not allowed due to allergies.

A deposit of €500 will be required on arrival.

Charming manor in Normandy

We enjoyed our stay at Domaine de la Blanchère in the heart of the Normandy region. Sandrine and Yves were very accommodating and helpful, and their place is a perfect, welcoming landing spot to explore this wonderful area of France.

Gorgeous property

This is an absolutely beautiful property. The house itself is fantastic. The grounds are lovely. The indoor pool is fabulous. The surprise benefit was a kitchen garden we were told to help ourselves to. Fresh lettuces, courgettes, peas, cherries, strawberries. So wonderful. Yves and Sandrine are wonderful and accommodating hosts. We could quite happily have moved in. No qualms recommending this house.

Incredible spot - we will be back!

Yves and Sandrine are wonderful hosts and have an absolutely stunning property. The house was perfect for our family of five and we enjoyed every minute of our time at this property. The kitchen is large and contains everything we needed to make and enjoy family meals. Our hosts even shared fresh items from their garden with us, along with some fabulous jam. All the rooms are spacious and very clean. The kids enjoyed the pool and the playground while the adults enjoyed the beautiful architecture and ambiance. The nearby town is quaint and boasts some lovely shops. We can’t wait to return and would highly recommend a visit to this property!

More than Spectacular

There is so much to see in Normandy that you’ll struggle to prioritize what to see. La Blanchere is so beautiful that you’ll want to plan at least one day, if not more, to just stay home and enjoy the property. Yves and Sandrine could not have nicer or more helpful! I highly recommend staying here. I’ve stayed in many lovely home rentals. This is my favorite by far. Thank you so much, Yves and Sandrine. And give our best to your beautiful girls.

Extraordinary lodging and base for exploring beautiful « Swiss Normandy »

Sandrine and Yves have created the most comfortable, beautiful, impeccably clean, and well-located (14th century!) lodging imaginable. Three couples each had private, spacious and luxurious rooms. We thought 4 days would be enough to savor the beauty of this part of Normandy south of Caen and a bit north of Flers - driving east to the chateau at Falaise (with its great use of technology to bring the castle’s history alive) and to the Camembert museum with tasting, north to the Roman ruins/museum at Vieux la Romaine, the quaint WWII Blackwater Museum at Berjou (where Germans were trapped in the « Falaise Pocket »), Pere Magloire Calvados Experience and Chateau de Crèvecœur and west to Mont Saint Michel. But we could easily have stayed longer. We loved the Thursday outdoor market at Conde-en-Normandie and preparing our meals in the manor’s wonderful kitchen, playing the piano in one of the sitting areas, reading around the cozy pellet stove in another sitting area, catching glimpses of the manor’s sheep and chickens, chatting with the very personable, hard-working and helpful hosts (and meeting their beautiful Australian shepherds). We would love to return - to relax in their gorgeous heated pool, spend more time just hanging out on the property, and drive around the pear orchards to the south, visit the Livarot cheese museum, visit the printing museum, and much more. We highly recommend the very special Domaine de la Blanchere. There is so much to see and do in this area!

Außergewöhnlich und wunderschön

Wir waren begeistert! Eine außergewöhnliche, großzügige und dabei heimelig und liebevoll eingerichtete Unterkunft, dazu zwei aufgeschlossene und durch und durch herzliche Gastgeber, Sandrine und Yves! Dazu ein Gemüsegarten, an dem man sich bedienen kann, schöner Grillplatz, toller Pool, viel sehenswerte Natur ringsherum. Wenn es in der Normandie nicht so viel zu entdecken gäbe, könnte man auch einfach den ganzen Tag dort im und am Haus entspannen. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt und können La Blanchère absolut empfehlen. Danke für alles! Melanie, Frank, Ann-Katrin und Andreas

Magnificent, rural farm stay

This is a lovely farm property with a huge guest house and room to spare for our six person family. If you’re used to cramped hotels in Paris, this will amaze you. It’s an hour from Normandy beaches and 1.5 from Mont Saint-Michel, mostly driving through beautiful, quiet, tiny towns on lazy, forested back roads. Car access is mandatory, and welcome: our most enjoyable day was just wandering the nearby villages and towns looking for cafes, patisseries, parks, and the ruins of the Domfort chateau. Clothes washer is on site, but no dryer. Hang dry only. Parts of the compound date to the 13th century, but it’s loaded with modern comforts including a swimming pool. 5/5, can recommend!!!

Beautiful cottage full of history

The cottage was absolutely stunning, full of character. It had everything we needed inside and it was lovely to also have so much space outside we could use. My son absolutely loved being able to use the indoor pool everyday. The patisserie in Athis did some amazing cakes and tarts.

Un séjour dans un cadre magnifique et confortable

Nous avons passé 3 jours dans le Manoir de la Blanchère. Ce fût un séjour reposant dans un cadre confortable (chauffage au sol ) et d'une très belle qualité architecturale. Le Manoir est aménagé et décoré avec goût et très bien équipée. Etant 2 couples avec chacun 2 enfants, nous avons pu profité chacun d'espaces dédiés ( chambres, salles de bain et salons) sans nous déranger et nous retrouver dans la grande salle commune parfaitement chauffée. Les espaces extérieures et la piscine chauffée et couverte sont parfaitement adaptés pour les enfants. Merci encore Alain pour votre accueil.

Formidable havre de beauté et de verdure pour déconnecter!!

Dur de commenter autre chose que du positif. Le lieu est magique et bien entretenu, (le propriétaire connaît le métier de l'hôtellerie et ça se sent dans la qualité de l'hébergement et du service). Alain a été à l'écoute, disponible, a su être flexible concernant certaines demandes particulières, et, ce qui ne gâche rien pour les amateurs de belle mécanique, il possède un parc de vieilles voitures américaines qui invite au voyage! Je reviendrai avec plaisir et je recommande.
