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.

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.

Kleines Paradies

Wir waren eine Woche in dieser wundervollen Unterkunft. Die Wohnung ist gut aufgeteilt, sauber und geschmackvoll eingerichtet, aber das absolute Highlight ist der Garten. Er ist riesengroß, wunderschön angelegt und es gibt viel zu entdecken. Zahlreiche Gartenmöbel sind auch vorhanden, so dass man dort gut verweilen kann. Wir haben die Eigentümerin nur kurz kennengelernt, da sie selbst im Urlaub war, aber sie war sehr sympathisch und trotzdem disponibel. Das Preis-Leistungsverhältnis ist unglaublich gut, so dass wir uns nur tausendmal bedanken können.

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!

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.
