Numero CINQ B&B, Medieval Domfront

Numero CINQ was built in the late 1800's with the local granite. It is built onto the old Perimeter wall of the fortified town, so behind us you can still see the wall of old towers which encircled the medieval town. Renovated in 2006, so alongside original features such as an original oak stairwell there are modern comforts. The view from the house is far flung over this typical Norman countryside. A two minute walk to the 11C castle ruins and the quiet medieval streets of the old town. Numero Cinq Bed and Breakfast is the perfect base from which to explore this fascinating and beautiful region of Normandy. Open all year round we offer you clean and comfortable accommodation with arguably some of the best south facing views of the river Varenne valley in town. Three double rooms, two of which transform into twin rooms, are available all with own en-suite bathrooms and unrivalled views. A continental breakfast is served at your preferred time consisting of that mornings fresh croissants and baguette, Normandy butter and preserves along with a choice of cereals and yoghurts. A never ending supply of fresh coffee, tea or hot chocolate and orange juice are on tap whilst you plan your days must do's and must see's. We have a secure garage which can accommodate up to three motorbikes or numerous bicycles with direct access into the house. There is a Wifi connection available which works in all of the rooms, a well stocked bookshelf and board games. The Bed and Breakfast is built into the old Perimeter wall of the medieval town, so located just one minutes walk from the heart of the medieval village of Domfront with its castle ruins, Norman churches, cobbled streets and half timbered houses. There are a choice of bars, restaurants and cafés all within a five minute walk from our Bed and Breakfast. Once you have arrived at Numero Cinq you will have your own keys to one half of the house so you can come and go at your leisure. There is a communal space with table and chairs, bookcase and tea and coffee making facilities on the ground floor. The bedrooms are accessed by an original, steep staircase. one bedroom on each floor so the third floor bedroom has a lot of stairs but the best views. We live the other side of the house so are around most of the time. I see you for breakfast at your preferred time which is fresh form the bakery each morning. The old town of Domfront has a choice of restaurant from a traditional Auberge, a quality Bistro and pizzeria through to galettes/crepes, kebab and burgers. The town in impeccably kept with floral displays throughout the town and the old castle grounds is a charming park with superb views. The byzantine style church is a one off and throughout the summer season there are guided tours and a chance to climb to the inside of the church spire for even more spectacular views. It is advisable to have a car in this region unless you are travelling by bicycle in which case there is great cycling in this area. We are situated on the Velo Scenic route which goes from Paris to Mont St michel and also on the route of Velo Francette which passes from Ouistreham, Caen to La Rochelle. The B&B is in town. It is on a road so during the day there is normal town traffic. Happily during the night this stops and is quiet.
