Gite is on the edge of a housing development but is very private with parking behind a lockable gate and a beautiful garden shared with the hosts. We used the gite as a base to visit numerous places around Normandy. Gite is lovely inside, nice and airy with two sets of patio doors, has a separate modern shower room and toilet. The only slight negative is that there is no oven in the kitchen but a there is a combination microwave. We're not familiar with a microwave combo so it did restrict our cooking options. There is a large shopping centre within a five minute drive.

Relaxing

A comfortable, clean and well-equipped cottage with shops within easy reach. As it was hot we spent most of our afternoons lounging in the sun in the pretty and peaceful garden, being amused by the chickens and geese. Thank you Catherine for a relaxing and rejuvenating stay.

Relaxing, extremely well appointed. Lovely reception from owner Catherine, chickens and geese. Great

Light, bright, immaculate and well appointed. Perfect for the two of us. We were at the bottom of the owners garden next to the pond, the boundaries were made clear so we could enjoy our own space. Both local amenities were close by but also a shopping retail park within a couple of minutes. A very pleasant place to stay.

The gite was well equipped and the owners are on hand to tend to anything you need. The garden was incredible and we enjoyed our visit to local coastal resorts.

Nice Getaway

Very clean and wonderful hostess. The house is very cute and very roomy for a family of four. It was very comfortable and we enjoyed the ducks and hens. The yard is beautiful with flowers, pond, trellises and wildlife. Very private and quiet. Hostess very friendly and made sure you enjoyed your stay. We stayed here to be midway to sights such as Normandy beaches (about 2 hours drive) and the Calais ferry (also approximately 2 hours). Highly recommend rental. Very reasonable in price and it was a very pleasant stay.

Wonderful stay

What a wonderful guest house to stay in. The inside is very bright, clean, quiet, comfortable and welcoming. We loved the outdoor space too, the resident goose was a blast to watch and interact with and the gardens were lovely. Quaint neighborhood, easy to navigate and access to shopping for groceries. For sure would stay here again!

Beautiful place to stay

My wife and daughter loved our stay. With only 15 mins to Rouen it is a very well situated cottage. The grounds are really well kept and the geese and chickens keep you company over a bottle of red. My only feedback would be the premises sleeps 4+ but the outside furniture only caters for 2.

Gîte fonctionnel et très propre avec vue sur le magnifique jardin des propriétaires

Accueil chaleureux de la part des propriétaires. La pièce de vie donne sur le jardin des propriétaires qui est très joli, sur lequel se promènent quelques poules, un couple d’oies et des poules d’eau. La situation géographique est parfaite pour visiter les boucles de la Seine (Jumieges, Rouen,…). Nous reviendrons avec plaisir!

Nous avons apprécié cet espace dans un joli coin de nature, jusqu’à la fontaine, avec sa jolie musique quand l eau s étend dans la mare où trônent plusieurs fleurs de lotus… Tout est bien pensé pour que les hôtes se sentent chez eux et c est ce que nous avons vécu. Et nous remercions Catherine pour toutes ses petites attentions ! Au plaisir de vous revoir, MC et Jacqueline
