Description

La Maison Noble is a well-appointed large family gîte in the heart of Calvados. Thoughtfully furnished with your comfort in mind, the house feels spacious and very inviting, to make your stay restful and enjoyable.

Set in beautiful Normandy countryside, La Maison Noble is a haven of tranquillity, inviting you to enjoy the peaceful location, views over the surrounding fields of grazing horses, and feel like you’re in your home from home. With excellent accommodation and facilities, the gîte also has a large lawned half-acre garden and mature trees to enjoy. La Maison Noble is situated in Beaufour-Druval near Dozulé and the famous town of Lisieux.

Beaufour-Druval is a small village set in open farmland. Its individual homes seem to have grown organically alongside country lanes and the ‘main’ street where the bistro can be found. The other community meeting place is the 13th century church of Notre-Dame-de-Druval. Most fields are laid to pasture. For horse lovers there’s a mix of thoroughbreds through to Shetland ponies as well as other animals such as donkeys and sheep. Look out for the friendly tethered Shetland pony who grazes the grass verges in summer. La Maison Noble is almost the last house along a meandering lane that leads into a green lane for walkers, riders and cyclists.

Dozulé is the nearest small town with facilities to meet your everyday needs. It boasts a Super U supermarket and petrol station, a bank and cashpoint, 2 bakers, butchers, greengrocers, several bars/bistros/eating places, newsagents, estate agents for those looking for a second home, and all the shops you would expect in a small French town.

For dog owners needing the pet passport stamped before their return trip, there is Vet Algia where the staff are very friendly and helpful. The vets enjoy practising their English so you might not get much chance to practise your French. For high maintenance dogs, there is an excellent and reasonably priced dog grooming parlour.

La Maison Noble is close to one of France’s most beautiful villages, Beuvron-en-Auge and within easy reach of all the main Normandy heritage sites, the coast, bustling markets, cider farms, Calvados producers and enticing restaurants.

Bedding and towels are provided free of charge as is electric heating and wi-fi. Initial supply of logs is included. Further supplies are readily available at local supermarkets.

A Lovely Place to Stay

By Everson Family on 03-Aug-2024

Returned for our third year to this lovely little holiday home. Very spacious accommodation, quiet rural location and everything you could need left by the owners for guests use. Jane and family are always so kind and easy to deal with and the booking went very smoothly as always. Lots of places locally to visit and the family had a very happy and relaxing time.

Owner response on 26-Aug-2024

Thank you for your lovely review. We're pleased you continue to enjoy your stays at La Maison Noble. We look forward to welcoming you again in 2025!

Visit for Normandy commemorations.

By Anton and Pat on 01-Jun-2024

Quiet rural setting. 15 minutes from main roads and nearest village with all amenities. Thank you.

Owner response on 02-Jul-2024

Many thanks for your review. We were pleased you were able to enjoy the D Day commemorations while staying with us.

Very quiet and peaceful holiday home

By Carole on 25-May-2024

A lovely house with a large garden. Very peaceful and a resident hare!!! The house is very spacious and has lots of room. Everything you could think of is provided. The electric heating is very efficient, and heaters are in all the rooms, so you will never be cold. The fixtures and fittings are very good quality. There is more than ample towels and blankets available. Plenty of hot water is available all day and this heats up during the night.. Jane the owner is so helpful in communication, and there is nothing she will not help you with, in fact I would say she goes out of her way to help. The description and pictures do not do the house justice and you will not be disappointed. The beds are comfortable and having a patio door with balconies adjoining both bedrooms is great to let in the fresh air during a warm night. The house is convenient to the Normandy landings and the coast. We went on google maps and found some really lovely restaurants to eat at Le Cafe Forges is definitely one not to miss as well as Restaurant Au P'tit Normand. Both less about a 20 minute drive away. If we are ever in the area again for a holiday we would definitely book again. Thank you Jane it has been a pleasure

Thank you, Carole, for your wonderful review. It has been a pleasure to welcome you and your family as our guests. Wendy, Ian and I are delighted that you enjoyed your stay. What a comprehensive review. You are right. It is hard to do the house and its setting justice. We will try and do better! It is always so gratifying when our guests feel the same about the house and area as we do. You will be very welcome to stay with us again anytime. Many thanks again for choosing La Maison Noble. Jane

A Home from Home

By Everson Family on 05-Aug-2023

La Maison Nobel is in a beautiful location, rural but within driving distances of all the main tourist sites. This is the second summer we have spent at the property and it feels like a real home from home for us, our four teenagers and pets. The owners go above and beyond to provide everything you could possibly need and are always on hand to answer questions or provide advise. The pre-holiday information is extremely helpful and provides lots of very useful local knowledge, the owners clearly know the area well. English owners so very easy to contact and communicate regarding questions etc. This year we have visited and can highly recommend the Bayeau Tapestry Museum, Pegasus Bridge Museum, (small but a treasure trove of information one of the best we've seen), Hornfleur (including Ferris-Wheel ride), Gold Beach and batteries and William the Conquerer's castle. We also enjoyed the following local activities, (particularly good for kids and teens), Ten Pin Bowling, Swimming Pools with water slides and lazy river, Mini Golf (we found two very good courses) and Festy Land Theme park, (lots of rides for all ages and with a mid week visit queues are extremely short, (longest wait about half an hour but many much shorter). Would highly recommend this property to anyone looking to visit the area.

Owner response on 22-Aug-2023

Thank you so much for your lovely review and with lots of ideas on places to visit locally. It's a pleasure to have welcomed you all for the second year running. You are all very welcome to come again at any time. You have been truly delightful guests. Thank you.

Family holiday

By Lynn on 29-Jul-2023

Stayed here with grandchildren. The house has everything you need and the garden is great for children. Ours loved the freedom to explore and making friends with the donkey in field at end of garden. A lovely rural retreat with some great towns to visit on the coast.

Owner response on 10-Aug-2023

Thank you, Lynn, for taking the time to review your stay at La Maison Noble. We really appreciate your feedback. Visitors do mention the large garden as being very popular with children and dogs! The donkey at the bottom of the garden is an added bonus. You're very welcome to stay anytime.

C'était superbe!

By Caroline Adams and Paul Foster on 27-May-2023

We loved our week at La Maison Noble - it was just what we needed and what we'd hoped it would be. The house itself is rustic and comfortable - the bed and shower were great which we find really important on holiday anywhere. But what really makes this property is the rural location and the gorgeous garden. We were incredibly lucky with the weather and were able to have breakfast on the patio every morning. Our dog was in her element running around playing or lying in the grass simply contemplating the wonderful nature surrounding her. We enjoyed shopping in Dozulé (Maison Jouanne has fantastic bread and patisserie) and had some lovely visits to Cabourg and Villers-sur-Mer. La Croisée des Saveurs in the village serves delicious food - well worth a visit.

Owner response on 11-Jun-2023

Thank you, Paul and Caroline for taking the time to write a review. We are delighted that both of you and your canine family member enjoyed your stay. It was a pleasure to welcome you to our home from home. Thank you again for your kind words.
