| About
our Normandy B&B Alan and Liz would like to welcome you to
their rural bed and breakfast La Beauficerie.
This conversion aimed to retain
many features of the existing building such as the
original oak beams and the fireplace in the bed and
breakfast's kitchen and lounge.  These were painstakingly restored to
become central features of their respective rooms.
All bedrooms overook our orchard
where our two friendly mini shetland ponies graze away
their days; they love attention.
All bedrooms feature en-suite showers and the bed and  breakfast has its own TV lounge and
kitchen diner.
We are located two kilometres from Hambye and five
kilometres from Percy where local shops and bars can be
found.
Lots of safe, private parking is available. Plenty of
safe storage for bikes.
Bedrooms
All our bedrooms are designed to incorporate original
features of the buildings whilst combining this with
modern features designed to make your stay as pleasant as

restored to provide a central feature in a number of the
rooms.
All bedrooms feature views over our acre cider apple
orchard.

About
our region
There are a wide range of local
activites for both families and couples.
Local towns within easy driving distance include:
Caen - 1 hour
Caen, the capital of Lower-Normandy, situated a few
kilometres from the English Channel has exceptional
historical heritage just waiting to be explored. We'd
recommend William's Castle and the Men's and Ladies'
Abbey which figure among the jewels of Norman
architecture.
Cherbourg - 1
hour 20 mins
Cherbourg is the gateway to Normandy. It lies on the
Cotentin Peninsula which covers an area of about 18 miles
and has a variety of landscapes. It has a spectacular
coastline and plenty of safe, sandy beaches. The port's
attractions include a fabulous aquarium and memorials to
the dead of WWII. The countryside of the Val de Saire
area, east of Cherbourg, and the Hague peninsula, to the
west, also have much to offer.
Mont St
Michel - 45 mins
Rising from a hazy expanse of sand and waves, Mont Saint
Michel appears like Man’s defiance of the elements
and of time. A rock lost in a landscape smoothed by the
wind.
Suspended high on the rock, the abbey calls you to
discover the wild ambition of its builders and of those
who, since 708, had wanted to make this isolated spot a
meeting place for all people.
From the top, everything looks surprising: the prodigies
of medieval architecture, the strength of nature, the
light...
No one can remain unmoved by the message of this place.
As a UNESCO world heritage site, the abbey of Mont Saint
Michel is a monument for everyone.
Coutances -
30 mins
The old hill town of Coutances, confined by its site to
just one main street, has on its summit a landmark for
all the surrounding countryside, the Cathédrale de
Notre-Dame.
Essentially Gothic, it is still very Norman in its
unconventional blending of architectural traditions, and
the octagonal lantern crowning the crossing in the nave
is nothing short of divinely inspired.
The son et lumière on Sunday evenings and throughout the
summer is for once a true complement to the light stone
building. Also illuminated on summer nights (and left
open) are the formal fountained public gardens.
St Lo - 30 mins
It is an agricultural centre and has famous horse
stables. Wood products, plaster, and clothing are
manufactured here. An old Gallo-Roman town, Saint-Lô was
a medieval fortress and was the scene of a massacre of
Huguenots in the 16th cent. Saint-Lô has been rebuilt
since its virtual destruction during the Allied invasion
of Normandy in 1944.
Avranches - 30 mins
Avranches is rich in both recent and ancient history.
Late in WWII it was the starting point of General
Patton's 'Avranches Breakthrough' that smashed a German
Panzer counter-offensive during the Battle of Normandy.
Not to be missed in Avranches is the view of
Mont-Saint-Michel found in the Jardin des plantes.
Granville -
30 mins
Granville (pop. 15,000), beautifully situated on a
peninsula with a sheltered harbor, became a fashionable
seaside resort in the nineteenth century.
In the old walled town, on higher
ground, are the beautiful Gothic church of Notre-Dame and
the Museum of Old Granville, housed in the Grande Porte.
On the Pointe du Roc is a
lighthouse from which there are fine views, and near this
is an aquarium.
From Granville there are boat trips to the offshore Iles
Chausey and to Jersey and Guernsey. These are all within
a sixty minute boat journey so are suitable for day
trips.
D Day -
Beaches
Visit the Normandy Beaches/Landings. Omaha an hour, Utah
a bit longer, an hour and a quarter.
St.Malo - 1
hour.
So many bars restaurants and shops. Harbour and Casino.
Take a short (30 mins.) mini train ride tour with English
commentary.
Take a short journey to Cancale
from St.Malo to see a lovely fishing village with a
massive selection of great restaurants.
Try Fresh Oysters from the end of the jetty. They're
fantastic!
Villedieu-les-Poeles
- 10 mins.
Famous for its Copper Industry and history. Many shops,
bars and restaurants.
Hambye Abbey
- is only 5 mins away
In the heart of the Sienne
valley, Hambye abbey is, after the Mont-Saint-Michel
(only 45mins away), the most complete medieval monastery
in Normandy.
This Benedictine Abbey was built
during the 12th and 13th Centuries. The community
disappeared in the 18th Century and the church was sold
and partially demolished. The majestic ruins dominate the
ensemble.
The monastic buildings that have
been preserved, and patiently restored, include the
scriptorium, the 13th Century chapter house, the
sacristy, and the parlour (with 13th Century frescos).
The monastery still has its
gatehouse, kitchen and a group of agricultural buildings.
