Ebenezer Mansion in Aumale, Dieppe, Normandy

You won't regret choosing to stay at this extraordinary villa, which was formerly a cotton mill and has recently been renovated to expose the magnificent oak beams in the roof spaces. The open-plan design of the ground floor makes it extremely spacious, and ideal for the elderly and those requiring wheelchair access. The kitchen is very well-equipped, perfect for a spot of home baking with the kids.

The local area around Aumale has plenty of great activities on offer. Aumale itself has a lovely range of patisseries, butchers and delicatessens, and has plenty of historic buildings. Near the town you'll find a quad-biking arena, as well as an archery club and a horse-riding centre suitable for novice riders.
