Message From The Seller

We have always enjoyed entertaining guests as well as friends and family at La Haute Herbelais, winter in the dining and living rooms and summer on the terrace and gardens. The house is brilliant for receiving guests of all types. It is perfect for chambre d’hote business. A guest entrance, guest stairs and guest lounge/breakfast room make it very friendly for all concerned  It is a ‘welcoming’ house and we will miss it.

Detached family house which has been used as a B&B with 4 letting rooms

The property is in good order throughout and offers comfortable living accommodation.  The roof was replaced in 2012 and loft insulation and a pellet burner were added in 2021.  In the past there have been 4 letting rooms – 2 with en-suite bathrooms and 2 with a shared bathroom.  There is plenty of parking and a pretty, mature garden.  Viewing is highly recommended.

The property is situated in a quiet rural hamlet about 8 km from the renowned Spa town of Bagnoles-de-l’Orne with its healing thermal waters, open daily from March to October,  golf course, lake and restaurants.  For the gambling enthusiast there is a casino and a racecourse.  The centre piece is its lake which is surrounded by elegant buildings, the most commanding of which is the casino. Across the lake is a park with a wood surrounded racecourse. The town is overlooked by the Rock of the Dog from where you can obtain spectacular views of the lake and surrounding countryside.  The medieval town of Domfront (24 km), and La Ferté-Macé (9 km) are a short drive away.  The famous Normandy Beaches are approximately 1 1/2 hours away and the UNESCO world heritage site of Mont Saint Michel is a couple of hours’ drive.  There is a 95 hectare lake, Lake Rabondanges, a short distance away where you can, in the summer, waterski, canoe or enjoy a cruise.
