History
In the seventeenth century, La Chenevière was a place dedicated to the cultivation of hemp, used for making rope and clothing for fishermen. In the eighteenth century, the estate became the property of the Gosset family, who built a large house that gradually became the core of a large holding of land. From 1880, Gustave and Pierre Gosset, decided to expand operations and undertake improvements to their places of residence.
During World War II, the area was occupied by the Germans. La Chenevière became the German officer’s headquarter. At the time of the D-Day landings in 1944, there were no longer any Germans in the house and the Royal Army Service Corps took residence.
In 1988 the castle was bought by Marie-Françoise and Thomas Dicker after belonging to the Gosset family for 133 years. Together, they decided to turn it into a luxury hotel.

The Chateau
A former mansion and farm, this magnificent Norman chateau of the eighteenth century, “La Chenevière”, finds its charm in the testimony of the times it went through. Constructed in an area dedicated to the cultivation of hemp in the eighteenth century, then a breeding farm for exceptional foals during the nineteenth century, the chateau was occupied by the Germans during World War II, and then the Americans after the D-Day landings. It was fully restored in 1988 to become the lush hotel-restaurant that it is today. La Chenevière has now 29 spacious and comfortable rooms that reflect the elegance and romance of its design. The decor of each room has been designed individually, but always with attention paid to the combination of modern comforts with traditional luxury.
