La Grande Bouverie

Come and enjoy the best of Normandy less than 2 hours from Calais or 40 minutes from Dieppe. The farm is situated in the small village of La Bellière surrounded by marvellous countryside. Just 5km away is the resort town of Forges-Les-Eaux which boasts an excellent variety of cafes and restaurants. La Bellière is just 1.5kms off the main Dieppe-Paris route.

This former dairy farm no longer has cows, but the old milking parlour has been converted into loose boxes for horses, sheep graze on the pasture and chickens free-range in the yard.

The local area, called the Pays de Bray, is known for its dairy and apple produce. These include the famous Neufchatel heart-shaped cheese, cider and Calvados.

Accommodation

The accommodation is completely independent of the main farmhouse, and is a lovingly-converted stable with plenty of exposed beams, a split level oak floor and a large bathroom with both a bath and shower. Breakfast is served in the rooms and guests have as much privacy as they could want. Coffee and tea-making facilities are available and there is an extra single bed in an alcove, particularly suitable for children.

Food

Dinner is normally available upon request, from 15 euros.
