Maison d'hôtes Le Manoir de Contres

This 19th-century manor is set in a 1-hectare park with a pond and 200-year-old trees. It has a south-facing terrace, and the guest rooms include an iPod docking station and free Wi-Fi access.

A view of the park is offered from the elegantly decorated rooms, which feature exposed beams and a neutral colour scheme. Hypoallergenic bed linen is provided for the king-size beds.

You can go hiking and cycling in the local area, or relax in the lounge with its piano and original fireplace.
