About this property

The gardens of the beak - A charming country cottage

In the hollow of the valley ganzeville three villages follow one another:
Daubeuf-Serville, Bec de Mortagne and Ganzeville.
It is there that we decided 10 years ago to restore a former rectory of the seventeenth century.
The ground floor awaits you overlooking a lawn and the Ganzeville Valley. The gardens of the beak are the product of the work of Brigitte and Christian that shaped them from communal wastelands.
10 years later, the gardens occupy almost all of 4000 m² with the exception of a left wilderness where birds nest ...
The cottage is fully equipped, new and very comfortable.
Located 10 minutes from Fécamp, 20 min from Etretat, 30 min 45 min from Le Havre and Rouen, discover the Pays de Caux in peace.

Fabulous garden and welcoming home

The kindness, regional information, and immaculate home provided by this Host and Hostess was exemplative of the best of a Normandy holiday. We hope to return soon as this region offers special scenic, gastronomical and artistic experiences. Kind thanks for sharing your lovely property with three generations. Au Revoir.

Extraordinarily beautiful gardens, delightful apartment

The pictures don't do justice to the gardens created by the owners, who also renovated the old stone building this comfortable and well-equipped apartment is located in. Spectacular. We would return in a flash.

Tranquille and charming

The property is in the lower part of the house and faces the beautiful gardens which look out across a wooded valley with the sound of running water. Everything is exactly as described in the listing, perfect for a family of four, and well equipped with everything you need. We enjoyed our mornings in the garden and evenings by the fire. We had a wonderful few days, visiting local towns of fecamp, etretat, honfleur and saint valery en caux. We didn't get to meet the owners as they were away themselves but they checked in to make sure we were settled.

Un beau jardin avec de nombreuses possibilités de détente

Il n'y a pas de mots ni d'images pour décrire les authentiques jardins de bec. La réalité est bien meilleure que les descriptions. Toute la famille a aimé le jardin magnifique! Les propriétaires très sympathiques habitent un ancien presbytère avec un très grand jardin. Les échanges avec les propriétaires sont très agréables et instructifs. Ils nous ont donné plein d'informations sur les restaurants et des idées d'excursions (petits villages normands et aussi de belles plages). Merci beaucoup – nous avons passé un très bon moment dans vos jardins et avons également appris à bien connaître les paysages et les cultures de la Normandie. Cela signifiait qu’il n’y avait pas assez de temps pour le jardin ou les nombreuses excursions. Bien sûr, nous aimerions revenir à un moment donné. Merci beaucoup et nous vous souhaitons une bonne santé!

Der Aufenthalt in dem Ferienhaus war sehr schön. Wir waren sehr schnell an unseren Ausflugszielen. Vorort hatten wir eine schöne ruhige Woche. Das Haus ist ausreichend groß, es war alles sauber und gepflegt. Gerne kommen wir nochmal wieder.

Genau nach unserem Geschmack

Wir haben die Zeit in dieser Ferienwohnung sehr genossen, auch wenn das Wetter während unseres Aufenthaltes nicht so Recht mitspielte. Zwei Bäder und zwei getrennte Schlafzimmer waren perfekt. Darüber hinaus das liebevoll restaurierte Pfarrhaus, nebst dem tollen Garten, den wir nicht so recht geniessen konnten. Wir leben selbst in einem alten Bauernhaus und wissen, wieviel Arbeit in diesem Haus, aber auch im Garten steckt. Brigitte und Christian waren super Gastgeber, mit guten Ausflugs- und Restaurant Tipps. Wir bekamen frische Eier und selbst gemachte Marmelade. Wir haben diese Ferienimmobilie schon weiter empfohlen!

Im Paradiesgarten

Wunderschönes Ambiente, sehr schöne, liebevoll eingerichtete und ausgestattete Wohnung. Sehr freundlicher Empfang und Kontakt mit den Eigentümern. Danke Christian und Brigitte. P.S. Das einzige nennenswerte Manko: Um diese Jahreszeit ist es nicht leicht, die Wohnung warm zu kriegen (vor allem das Badezimmer beim großen Schlafzimmer)

Verträumter Ort zum Entspannen

Auch dank Baguette-Automat im Ort hatten wir eine sehr schöne Zeit in der liebevoll eingerichteten Wohnung von Brigitte und Christian. Das abendliche Kaminfeuer half mit zur Entspannung und der großzügige und wunderschöne Garten hätte uns bei mehr Sonne noch mehr entzückt.

Séjour très agréable

Le gîte est confortable, dans une ambiance qui donne envie de resté blotti au chaud devant un bon feu de bois, surtout quand la tempête souffle en rafales. La côte normande avec ses magnifiques falaises, est à quelques kilomètres seulement. Nous avons passé un très bon moment et l'accueil était chaleureux.
