About this property

Manor House with Tennis and Swimming Ponds near Ocean

We are happy for travellers to contact us for shorter stays, pricing options, particularly outside the peak summer season.

LATEST : optional MICHELIN STAR CHEF available for cooking and service on site.

Set on 25 acres of luscious rolling countryside with its centennial oaks, streams, ponds, and just 3 miles from the Atlantic Ocean's beaches, originally a family holiday house, this property boasts a tennis court and wild/ fresh water swimming for the sportsmen, lazy afternoons playing the Steinway or perusing one of the thousand volumes in the great panelled library for the reflective. It is furnished with the owner's collection of art and furniture that spans 4 centuries of French master craftsmen's work.

The current house is said to have been settled in the 14th century. All that remains of the older house is the part that is the kitchen today: wattle walls on a stone foundation sunken by the passing years. Extended mainly in the 19th and 20th century, the last 30 years of restoration and extension have yielded what you can see and enjoy today.


Supplementary guests...: Guest cottage is a supplementary option.

IMPORTANT NOTES:

The main house has 6 bedrooms and can sleep 12. 10 adults in 5 double bedrooms. 2 children in single beds in a small (but charming we think) attic bedroom with 2 single beds. The optional (and supplementary) cottage has 2 bedrooms which can sleep 3 or 4 with an air mattress on the floor. Overall, it is important for us to know what guests require at the time of the reservation or well in advance of arrival.


The rates above are standard rates only, not high season/ Christmas/ NYE rates.

In order to keep the Croix Rompue affordable, our rates depend on occupancy, bedrooms used and services required.

Our week at the Manor
We really enjoyed the experience of staying in the Manor House. It is in a beautiful peaceful setting with the large lake, black swan, ducks and coypus. There are also several nice beaches nearby and interesting towns and villages to visit.

A Restful Retreat
A charming house with shabby chic and unique features that make this a relaxing place to stay. We stayed with a party of 13 adults and teens plus 5 lively dogs and EVERYONE had fun - swimming in lakes, walking the grounds, eating and drinking French food and wine and hanging out in a grand old French house. The owner was so helpful and his housekeeper was in hand to provide help and support when needed. A truely magical place. Local beaches and shops sbd restaurants were also not far and well worth a visit.

Privileged to stay in such a warm and welcoming grand French manor!
As you drive up to La Croix, you are immediately impressed by this magnificent and grand house, set in idyllic and tranquil countryside. Open the door and you are welcomed into a warm and comfortable home. La Croix truly has a soul: relaxed, welcoming and gracious. You can feel the history and grandeur of the old building, whilst the new addition, perfectly blends to provide you with the modern convenience and comfort. The main rooms have underfloor heating, so you always feel warm and cozy. The bedrooms are very comfortable. Everything is clean but also relaxed enough so you don’t feel the need to tiptoe around. Our Christmas Day was perfect, with dinner served in the main dining room, lit by the soft glow from the candles in the chandelier. So special. Anthony could not have been a better host. His communication before and after our stay was impeccable. You also realise that he truly has opened up his home to you. We felt like trusted family guests rather than paying customers. The check in and support from the local house manager, Dan, was also excellent. He helped us with the ordering of our Christmas dinner and checked to make sure everything was ok. The check in and out was easy. The house is only one part of the story of La Croix. The grounds and local area are also stars. Countryside to meander and get lost in, but local supermarkets and village markets are only 15 minutes away. We’re recommending staying at La Croix to all our friends and happy to do so to you too! :
