Built in 1800, the very pretty house stands in acres of woods, pastures and landscaped gardens, with outbuildings (the owners' quarters) and cottage. Footpaths meander to a lovely walled orchard and a pristine kitchen garden complete with hens. Inside are corridors alive with books, five delightful bedrooms, spick and span bathrooms and a sitting room with a log fire - guests are comfortable here. In the panelled dining room, kind Richard and Victoria, both from the catering industry, serve French breakfasts at crisp tables. Domfront on its hill is wonderfully close, very French.

Guest feedback
"Belle Vallee is a very pretty house set in a gorgeous garden and Victoria and Richard are the warmest of hosts taking time and trouble to make their guests feel very welcome and comfortable. From the moment you arrive you are made to feel like an old friend, and being offered a chilled glass of wine in the lovely courtyard after a long car drive was perfect! Our room was very spacious and extremely comfortable with lovely views over the countryside, and the peace and quiet there made for a good nights sleep. Both dinner and breakfast were delicious and plentiful. We were sorry to leave!"

"Lovely Chambres D'Hotes near Domfront in a beautiful rural location. The
owners Victoria and Richard were an absolute delight, nothing was too much
trouble for them. The town itself is a lovely place with an interesting
history over many hundreds of years. Bagnoles de l'Orne nearby is a lovely
spa town nestling in forest, but has an air of 'gods waiting room' about it
! Would have no hesitation about enjoying the delights of Belle Vallee
again."

"We received a very warm welcome from Victoria, despite arriving later than planned, and after being offered an upgraded room we were presented with a delicious meal of cold meats, cheeses and salad. We spent a comfortable night in a large room on the top floor and next morning offered a lovely buffet breakfast. We would definitely stay again. "

"A most warm welcome and delicious dinner in this beautiful and peaceful stone house at the bottom of a wooded track. A charming florally-decorated bedroon, very well appointed, adds to the charm of the whole thing. Warmly recommended"

"Victoria's cheerful energy and the warmest of welcomes (Earl Grey and sponge cake in the garden arrives in seconds it seems) makes Belle Vallee magical. Like Venice or Tolkein's Rivendell you are excited to arrive, sad to leave and can't wait to come back. Richard and Victoria are English hotel and catering professionals but more than that, they put their heart and soul into making Belle Vallee the delightful success it is. Book early."

"If you don't go for the warm welcome, the great hospitality, the lovely rooms or the superb food, you just have to go to hear the toads in the garden...
Booked in for one night, stayed three, made our holiday.
Thank you very much to Richard and Victoria."

"Stayed here for first night of 14 night road trip of France using all Sawday recommended accomocation. Place is fantastic. Richard was working alone for weekend but all was great. He is a great host and a superb cook. Tea and homemade cake when you arrive. We ate along with 6 others and had a wonderful evening. 4 courses and unlimited wine, coffee, chocs and offer of nightcap which was great value at 20 euros per person. Our room was very pretty and comfortable. Breakfast was also great and included eggs from Richard's own hens. We would stay here again and it was a great start to our holiday. Highly recommended."

"What a fantastic place. The owners couldn't be more helpful. We stayed with our two young children. (aged 10mths and 26 months) and felt they were really geared up for tiny tots!!! Being only an 1 hour away from Caen it helped break our return journey up. The evening meal was delicious, served with a lovely bottle of red (and I am very fussy about my red wine). Richard and Victoria are very friendly. We would definitely go back again."
