Stay at a historic Manoir
Bumblebee Manor, or Manoir Bourdon in French, was built in the early 19th century and boasts five beautifully appointed cottages that are comfortable and fully self-contained. The Manor itself has four double bedrooms, a gourmet kitchen, a formal dining area, and a traditional grand room. The grounds of the Manoir have ample room to relax, pick some organic produce from the potager, or enjoy a swim in the heated pool.
