Beautiful home

Wonderful artwork is available for purchase from the very creative mind of the owner’s husband. The kitchen was well supplied and the outdoor space is exceptional. The stairs are quite steep and the children’s beds are softer and were better for us (sore backs). The yard (and home) is absolutely beautiful. The light chimes from the local church (silenced at night) added to the ambience of bird chirping…

A Hidden Gem in Normandy

Christine has transformed her little workshop into a gem of an accomodation, very comfortably furnished and artistically decorated with her husband's artwork. But perhaps the best part of this little gem is the surrounding gardens. All designed and cared for by Christine. As a gardener she is every bit an artist as her husband. She has created a beautiful, quiet sanctuary that we found refreshing after touring our daytime tours throughout Normandy. Just a sort 15 drive to Rouen whose old town, restaurants and cafes we found charming. 15 minutes to a very good Carrefour market. I couldn't recommend a VRBO rental more. Christine herself is a delightful person.

Clean, tidy gite. Very peaceful & quiet, lovely gardens. Lots of info for attractions locally. Christine showed us places to go & made various suggestions, very helpful. Parking on a steep incline, not ideal.Stairs very narrow, need to bend down whilst walking up & downstairs, hazardous, easy to bang head on the solid wood. Need to put something like a fluorescent strip or padding to make guests aware. Only had net curtains at very large window, unsure why the curtains ( as seen in photo's on website ) weren't up? The gite was cold at night when the temp dropped. We did inform the owners who came & dealt with the heating. Curtains would have made the property much warmer. Despite washing machine indicated on the amenities, there is not one on site however Christine, the owner guided us to a local town & provided us with the link for a launderette.We had been away for 3 weeks so needed to do some washing, hence our selection of this gite. We were only 2 people so didn't use the dishwasher. We used 2 of everything, i.e plates, glasses, cups & minimal cutlery. Decided against wasting water so washed things up in the sink rather than use the dishwasher.. Christine implored us to use the dishwasher, stating that she would have to wash all the dishes once we had gone, ? Insinuating that we would leave things dirty & unclean for the next guests. Somewhat miffed about this ? Just took the shine off our stay a little .We left the property as we found it, clean & tidy.

Charmantes Häuschen, ruhig gelegen und mit allem ausgestattet, was man für einen angenehmen Urlaub braucht. Für die vielen interessanten Ausflugsmöglichkeiten bekamen wir von der sympathischen Vermieterin gute Tipps. Entspannen auf der Terrasse mit Blick in den wunderschönen Garten hat den Aufenthalt abgerundet. Wir kommen gerne wieder! Nous nous sommes sentis très à l’aise!

Schönes, kleines Häuschen

Das Haus ist klein, aber sehr schön. Sehr interessant gestaltet durch viele kleine Kunstobjekte. Für uns als Familie mit kleinen Kindern etwas unpraktisch war der hohe Bar-Tisch zum Essen. Die Nähe zu Rouen ist sehr praktisch.

Wunderschön

Lieben Dank für die schöne Woche bei Christin. Wir könnten uns in der gemütlichen Unterkunft mit hübschem Garten super erholen und haben uns wirklich wie zu Hause gefühlt. Unser Sohn war vom guten Internet begeistert, wir von der freundlichen Art der Gastgeberin. Unbedingt den Baguetteautomaten im Dorf ausprobieren. Das Brot ist wirklich lecker. ;)

Oase auf den Spuren der Impressionisten

Wir waren zu zweit 10 Tage lang Gäste in Christines Häuschen aber auch sehr viel unterwegs. Die Ausstattung vor Ort war komplett, üppig und in sehr gutem Zustand. Der umliegende Garten war sehr gepflegt und abwechslungsreich gestaltet. So konnte man sich sehr entspannt auf der Terrasse aufhalten. Christine nahm uns sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit in Empfang, gab nützliche Tipps und hielt sich ansonsten im Hintergrund. Von dieser Oase aus konnten wir unsere touristischen Ziele auf den Spuren der Impressionisten sehr gut mit dem Auto erreichen. Wir können diese Unterkunft aus ganzen Herzen empfehlen. Gaby und Roland

Tolle Unterkunft in der Nähe von Rouen und Etretat

Christines kleines Ferienhaus ist sehr schön. Es ist geschmackvoll eingerichtet und mit unterschiedlichen Werken ihres Mannes ausgestattet, was dem ganzen ein besonderes Flair gibt. In der Nähe (5 Minuten entfernt) gibt es gute Einkaufsmöglichkeiten. Die Innenstadt von Rouen ist etwa 20 Minuten (mit Parkplatzsuche) entfernt und auf jeden Fall einen Ausflug wert. Orte wie Etretat oder Honfleur sind auch innerhalb ca. einer Stunde erreichbar. Besonders gut hat uns ein Tipp von Christine gefallen, eine Klosterruine in unmittelbarer Nähe (Abbaye de Jumièges) - auf jeden Fall besuchen! @Christine, merci beaucoup!

Wonderful setting, wonderful hosts.

The first thing that impressed us as weary travelers in a foreign country was how easy it was finding our way to this charming guesthouse. Set in the beautiful township of St-Jean-du-Cardonnay, 10 minutes away from the awesome city of Rouen, we could finally relax and take in the breathtaking surroundings. We were met by friendly Christine who welcomed in her broken English and felt instantly at home. She showed us maps and gave us lots of information about the area, which was wonderful. She, he husband Ivan (a well known artist) and English speaking son Antionne were wonderful hosts throughout our stay. The guesthouse is set in the garden near the main house, so if we required anything, we were simply able to call on Christine. She even had a piano which our daughter played for hours! While we were unable to do our own laundry, Christine did it for us for a small fee. The cottage itself is like a gallery, filled with Ivan's amazing artwork. Also,an ipad was set up with spotify and there was an impressive collection of DVDs. Overall, is one of our most pleasant stays in Europe and we would thoroughly recommend staying there.
