16th Century Norman Towered Manoir Bed & Breakfast
Experience the charm, elegance and delightful ambience of La Mare Chappey - a medieval manor house offering luxury chambres d'hotes (B&B) and family cottage accommodation, River-banked in 5' acres nestling in the unspoilt tranquil Normandy countryside. A Haven for those, who only wish to holiday in comfort.
La Mare Chappey offers all you will require for special holidays in Normandy, subtly combining the elegance of a by-gone age with all the luxuries of the present day within a relaxing and friendly environment for that perfect family holiday in Normandy with variety excellent facilities.
Although a fine example of perfectly proportioned sixteenth century architecture, the Manoir of La Mare Chappey retains an intimate and homely atmosphere.
Completed in 1556 by Lucas Chappey, the first Lord of La Mare, the Manoir first opened its doors to guests more than 450 years later, after undergoing an extensive programme of restoration. It now boasts luxurious comfortable guest accommodation located off the mediaeval tower, with each room presented in its own distinct style whilst incorporating Touile de Jouy and traditional French fabrics and wallpapers.
All the comfortably appointed rooms are spacious and with en-suite bathrooms featuring large corner baths or hydropower showers. Bedrooms are furnished with Louis XIV, canopy or four-poster beds and afford magnificent views over the extensive grounds and surrounding countryside.
The drawing room provides a relaxing retreat at any time. Here, guests can enjoy morning coffee, afternoon tea, pre-dinner cocktails or after-dinner drinks, or simply fall asleep in a comfortable armchair after a busy day on the beach! In the evenings, a traditional log fire is set to add to the relaxed atmosphere.
In warm weather, the terrace - overlooking gardens and the river - is the perfect spot to unwind. Norman sunsets can be spectacular, and at night an unbelievable number of stars shine down on La Mare Chappey. In fact it was the light quality of the region - both during day and night - which inspired many French impressionists.

Breakfast is served in Courtyard Bistro where on offer is delicious local delicacies - including fresh croissants, baguettes, yoghurts, home-made preserves, locally- produced honey, cheeses, cereal and fresh fruit.

The Courtyard Bistro is also used in the evenings when a "table d'hôte" is available for guests. The extensive and imaginative menu varies from day-to day, with all fresh produce bought locally from nearby farms, markets and shops. Any dietary requirements can be catered for - just ask.
Guests at the manoir are regarded as friends rather than merely visitors - a reason, perhaps, why many return time after time to enjoy the unique hospitality of La Mare Chappey. The hosts pride themselves on being able to offer individual advice and recommendations for days out, restaurant bookings, local shops and services, and the history and folklore of this particular corner of real France.

is a haven of peace and tranquillity
and offers a year-round

a taste of genuine Norman
tradition and hospitality.
