The Experience

This farmhouse, in a quaint corner of Haute-Normandie, is surrounded by a green paradise of orchards and summer and winter vegetable patches. Organic produce and simple living are the buzzwords in the Languignons’ Norman bolthole, and you breakfast on wholemeal bread and crusty baguette, jams and fruit – all homemade or grown, and accompanied by local honey, farm yogurt and heart-shaped Neufchâtel cheese.

Relax in the grassy gardens, cross over the stream and duck under the long tendrils of the white willow and hazel to explore the footpaths at the end of the garden.

Three airy bedrooms overlook a central courtyard – larger families can take over the whole place, but it’s private enough for a romantic long weekend of gentle pedalling through the villages of the thickly forested valley.

Reviews

We had a lovely stay at La Lévrière. After a long day of travelling, we received a warm welcome from Margaux and enjoyed relaxing in the garden. Our dinner was fantastic, with everything grown in the garden and we loved our characterful room. We just wish we could have stayed for longer.

My son, Christopher, and I have just returned home following a splendid stay with Margeaux, her husband and their lovely friendly dog, Rio. Margeaux and her husband's home is situated in a delightful, beautifully conserved Normandy village where peace and quiet reign supreme. Our accommodation was most comfortable in a period property set in an idyllic setting of garden, fields and with a river flowing through. Margeaux's breakfasts were absolutely delicious and plentiful. Margeaux is absolutely charming and helpful in every way. A lovely, relaxing, visit and we hope to return next year.

Pauline, Hellidon, Daventry

Beautiful accommodation in rural surroundings. Our rooms looked over the delightful garden & river. Margaux is a wonderful host - her breakfasts & evening meals were outstanding. We are already planning a return visit!

Kat & Stuart, Chesterfield

We have visited La Levriere, I believe, 7 times - need we say more? The tranquilty of the garden, the comfort and slight quirkiness of the rooms and the hospitality of the hosts are all reasons for us to hope we can make it back to this lovely spot many more times.

Val, Emsworth

Wonderful pituresque and very quiet location. Beautiful walks on the doorstep, many lovely villages within easy driving distance. Accommodation and hospitality, including very good breakfast and evening meal, all first class. Margaux is an excellent host, very friendly and helpful. Couldn't ask for more. Would love to return one day.

Andrew, Sittingbourne

Such a beautiful place….peace and tranquillity…. We had the most wonderful time and I only wish we could have stayed longer…. Margaux is a charming and lovely host… welcoming us on our arrival… producing a delicious meal in the evening…. and then a wonderful breakfast… everything homemade and freshly baked… our room was lovely… with beautiful views over their garden… immaculately clean and attention to detail… thank you so much for making us so welcome… I hope it won’t be long until we return to your lovely lovely home….

Caroline, Aldeburgh

We had an absolutely delightful stay at La Lévrière and would have loved to stay longer. The setting is exquisite - a beautiful and peaceful garden - and our hosts Margaux and David were charming and welcoming. The room was comfortable while retaining its period charm. We had a delicious evening meal and breakfast - Margaux is a brillient cook - and enjoyed meeting the other guests in the table d'hôte format. 100% recommended.

Alison, Bristol

After a return visit our impressions remain the same, this is a delightful place to relax for a few days. The room was comfortable, spotlessly clean and cool considering the temperature outside. Breakfast was delicious as usual with a varied selection of homemade and locally-sourced produce. The extensive garden is at the guests' disposal with plenty of room for children and even the chance to swim in the little river if you are brave enough!

Kathleen and Alan, Aberdeen

We absolutely loved staying at la Lévrière. The rooms were tasteful and clean, the breakfasts delicious with home made jams and breads and local honey and cheeses. The hosts were warm and relaxed and nothing was too much trouble. And we loved being able to use the little kitchenette and sitting room for evening supper when we didn’t want to go out for dinner. We highly recommend this home in its stunning country location.

Lindsay & Mark, Ealing

Having stayed here several times with the previous owners, we were hoping for a smooth transition. We had nothing to worry about. Margaux and David were excellent hosts and made us feel extremely welcome. The room was slightly changed but just as pleasant and comfortable. Breakfast was lovely and always served with a cheery greeting and smile. We will definitely return.

Location

The neighbourhood

Traffic noise is at a minimum in St-Denis-Le-Ferment: aside from the rumble of a passing tractor, your soundtrack is likely to be the babbling of the brook at the bottom of the garden, or the whinny of a horse. La Lévrière is set on a quiet road just outside the centre of the village, with walking trails spooling out from the doorstep across bordering pastures and dense woodland.

Local points of interest from Margaux Languignon

  • Giverny, with Claude Monet's house and garden, the magnificent villages of Lyons la Foret and Gerberoy, the majestic fortress Château Gaillard… All these must-sees of the Vexin Norman are 20-35 min away from our guesthouse. Don't leave without seeing them.
  • Do you love castles steeped in history, beautiful abbeys, pretty villages and magnificent gardens? So do we! La Roche Guyon, Vascoeuil, Gisors, Mortemer, Saint Germer de Fly… We'll be happy to recommend our favourite places in our beautiful region.
  • We're just an hour from Paris and Rouen, two beautiful cities, and 1.5 hours from the sea at Dieppe and the magnificent Varengeville beach. Set off on a lovely day trip and then come home to relax and recharge your batteries.
  • Hikers will love the bucolic walks in the Norman countryside. One of them starts from our house. We are also one step away from the The London-Paris avenue Verte, bikers are welcome! Nature lovers will enjoy our 2 acre garden crossed by our lovely river.
  • At La Levriere, we love good food: tasty, home-made and organic. Our kitchen garden provides us with delicious vegetables that you can enjoy at our table d'hôtes, our hens provide us with organic eggs and our orchard, with good fruits in the right season.
  • We have an adorable dog who loves to play with our guests and friendly horses. We are fortunate to have wild animals living in the garden: ducks, herons, deers, and many birds. Don't forget your binoculars.

Introducing

Margaux Languignon

Margaux & David run La Lévrière and live in one of the on-site cottages, so they’re on hand to dole out advice on the gastronomy of Bazincourt or the footpaths of Lyons la Forêt. The green-fingered couple are proud advocates of organic cuisine and have great plans for their fruit orchards and vegetable gardens – absolutely everything organic, of course.
