The River Noireau stands at the very centre of our world. Youngsters can splash in the shallows. Daring visitors can brave a cold immersion (prior to a restorative sauna).
 
A haven for bird watchers who can observe kingfishers skimming the surface and attend to the melodies of the valley all day. This is a spot where mobiles are put away (except maybe the Merlin app where guests regularly record 20 birds in a session) and tempo slows.
 
Fauna and Flora- the valley hosts a diverse array of life. Visitors often see:• red squirrels• otters• deer• boar • glow worms• moths and dragonflies.
 
Take a walk along the garden, down the lane to the hamlet or up through the woods. A haven for walkers, runners and cyclists.
 
Each season provides a new palette of colours. As spring begins the wild flowers in the forest change from week to week.
