Timber-framed Norman manor

Detached timber cottages cluster around a sixteenth-century manor house, set among quiet cider orchards in the Norman countryside.

What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
The elegant 16th-century estate has since been converted into a luxurious boutique hotel, Les Manoirs des Portes de Deauville.
Somewhere quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
Deauville's beach and seaside boardwalk are a ten-minute drive away, leaving the surrounding apple orchards quiet at night.
The rooms
Manor rooms keep their exposed timber beams and light oak floors. Ground-level cottage suites open straight onto the garden.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
The outdoor pool is heated to 26 degrees, bordered by sun loungers facing the estate's timber-framed cottages.
The sauna
The pine-paneled sauna seats four on two-tiered benches, and an indoor jacuzzi shares the wellness room.
At the table
Breakfast is served outdoors beside the half-timbered manor, and an open timber cabinet inside offers self-serve drinks.
How it began
Built in 1540, the estate served as a village school and a sheepfold before opening as a hotel in 2019.
