The easy access to the road network will enable you to quickly discover Normandy and especially its beaches: Veules les Roses, Etretat, Le Havre, Honfleur, Deauville, Dieppe, Fécamp and of course the landing beaches.
Rouen, the city with a hundred bell towers, is to be discovered absolutely for its history and architecture it is only 10 minutes away.
A little further you will appreciate the abbey of Jumièges.

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.

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.

Hemos disfrutado de la casa junto a mi familia. Estaba todo muy bien y limpio a pesar del calor que hemos pasado (justo nos pilló una ola de calor y la casa no esta preparada para el calor, obviamente no es lo normal en esas zonas…) El jardín y el lago estaban secos, eso dice mucho de cómo está el clima…una pena ya que el jardín verde debe ser muy bonito. El árbol que tienen es precioso y da mucha sombra.Los animales que tienen dieron mucho juego para nuestra pequeña que disfruto mucho cada día observándolos. Sobretodo la gallina gris! La ubicación es genial y muy tranquilo! La dueña muy amable y cordial.Lo recomiendo 100%

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.
