Biker Friendly Accommodation in Normandy
Calvados | apartment | Main France
Calvados
An 18th century watermill situated in the quiet Durance river valley in the heart of rural Calvados, known as the Suisse Normande, so named because of its similarities to alpine terrain. Originally a corn-grinding mill and bake house, the watermill was later used by the occupying forces in WWII as a base to service tanks. The house has since been renovated throughout, yet still retains much of its original character. The waterwheels are still in operation today and generate electrical power. The mill has a ground floor apartment which comfortably sleeps up to four people, with two double bedrooms, a combined lounge/kitchen/diner with an adjoining shower/wc/laundry room. The property sits in ten acres of grounds with hill woodlands, grass meadows and bordered by a river. Close to the market town of Condé sur Noireau, just over an hour from the coast and within an easy ride of the Normandy landing beaches, Mont St Michel and many other attractions that Normandy has to offer. A great retreat after days out exploring, providing a peaceful environment in which to relax, take it easy and plan for the next day’s outing. Free Wi-Fi. Motorcycle washing facilities. Garage tools for maintenance and compressor available. Garaged and private parking. where: La Houssaye, 14770, La Chapelle Engerbold, Calvados, Normandy, France |
