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!

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.

We had a very enjoyable 2 week stay in Catherine's house. Very quite, wonderful garden in a peaceful surrounding. The house has everything one needs, spacious, well equipped and easy to clean. We holiday in France every year and this was one of the best houses, host and everything that you can expect.

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.

Das wunderbare, geschmackvoll eingerichtete und sehr gut ausgestattete Haus liegt im riesigen und traumhaft angelegten Garten der Besitzer. Diesen darf man mit nutzen und man findet immer neue Lieblingsstellen zum Verweilen. Die Besitzer sind ausgesprochen freundlich und begegnen einen immer mit einem Lächeln. Wir haben zwei tolle und erholsame Wochen bei bestem Wetter verbracht. Die Landschaft und die Umgebung bieten viel Abwechslung: Sei es Kultur, Fahrradfahren oder Wandern. Auch das Meer (Dieppe) ist in einer dreiviertel Stunde über die Nationalstraße erreichbar.

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.
