Numero 5 is the perfect base from which to explore this fascinating region of Normandy. Open all year round we can offer you Bed and Breakfast accommodation with arguably some of the best south facing views of the Varenne valley in town. We are located just one minutes walk from the heart of the medieval village of Domfront with its castle ruins, Norman churches, cobbled streets and half timbered houses.Three double rooms, two of which are easily transformed to twin rooms, are available all with own en-suite bathrooms and unrivalled views. A continental breakfast is offered in the breakfast room. Numero5 is an attractive 19th Century three storey stone town house. Built into the side of the medieval towns’ old perimeter wall, it combines modern comforts whilst retaining many of its original features such as oak flooring in all the rooms, wattle and daub plaster and a three storey spiral staircase. Domfront is a town steeped in history dating back to the 11th Century. Domfront has several close connections with England going back centuries. There have been many military campaigns conducted from this once fortified stronghold from as far back as 1010 with many illustrious names who have lived or fought here.The medieval town itself retains its cobbled streets, secret courtyards and half timbered houses with worn steps which sit well alongside the grandeur of the Mairies and other manor houses. If relaxing is your thing, there are many cafes and restaurants where you can try the local poiré (a cider made from fermented pear juice and traditionally drunk from a deep cup and saucer) or a galette (buckwheat pancake served with a sweet or savoury filling).
