Outstanding Normandy Cottage

Finding your way to La Muche can be challenging but it is part of the adventure. When you arrive you will realise the effort was worthwhile. It’s a beautiful property in a brilliant location. We had a fantastic stay and would highly recommend this property.

Unique house in a beautiful environment

The beautiful house is on a very unique location, in the middle of a forest, with lots of privacy and a big garden. There are many things to see and do in the area, like canoeing, walking, swimming in the lake close by, and visit nice towns and markets.

Great experience!

We have just returned from our week long stay at La Muche. The house is located in the middle of the woods, resulting in a very quiet, relaxing stay. The area is great for exploring. Omaha beach is only 1 1/2 hours away, so we visited there. Caen is one hour, Honfleur 40 minutes, so lots of things to see and do. From the house you can wander in the woods and explore for hours on end. There is a supermarket within a 10 minute drive, you could walk it in one hour if you wanted. Communication with the owner and also with Annie was great. Annie was very reachable via Whatsapp and could answer all the questions. We were able to let ourselves in the house upon arrival and met Annie close after. The house has all the neccesities and more! The large fireplace is a winner, we spend all our evenings surrounding the fire. Wood is provided, in our case it was charged up front when booking with VRBO. The kitchen is old but modern at the same time, with a perfect oven and dishwasher. There is plenty of space surrounding the house, with ample outside seating opportunities, and the view is great. Arrival is on small dirt roads, but well maintained. The shower is in the basement, there are 2 toilets on the groundlevel and upstairs. Also a bath with loose showerhead. Three bedrooms, with one large master, one small master and one single. As always in France, the beds are a little bit short for us, but that is just a small issue. All in all, great place, would visit absolutely again!

Ein sehr schönes altes Haus

Das Haus ist liebevoll mit alten Möbeln eingerichtet, in herrlich ruhiger Lage, mit blühenden Sträuchern und Vogelgezwitscher. Von Annie haben wir bei der Anreise wertvolle Tipps für das Haus und fürs Einkaufen erhalten (vor dem Supermarkt in Saint Philbert sur Risle konnten wir auch günstig tanken). Wir haben uns im Mai zwei Wochen sehr gut erholt und viele schöne Ausflüge gemacht. Für uns war alles vorhanden (auch Filterkaffeemaschine), auf der Terrasse stehen mittlerweile ein großer Holztisch und Holzstühle. Ein sehr schöner Urlaubsort.

Prachtig, schhon huis in de middle of nowhere.

Volledig ingericht huis, met de aantekening dat teveel oude spullen van de, inmiddels vertrokken, eigenaar nog aanwezig waren. Hierdoor maakte het geheel een rommelige indruk. Wel verbleven wij door het slechte weer meer dan anders in het huis. De tuin, de rust, de vogels, enzovoorts waren geweldig. Dringend advies: niet rijden op de gps. Volg nauwkeurig de aanwijzingen van de eigenaar. De route naar het huis gaat in twee delen over 800 meter onverhard bospad.

Rustikale Unterkunft in idylischer Umgebung

Die Anfahrt gestaltete sich mit der vom Besitzer zugesandten Beschreibung leichter als erwartet. Schwierig dürfte es nur bei Dunkelheit sein, da sich das Haus mitten im Wald befindet. Wir wurden von Annie herzlich begrüßt und bei einer ersten Begehung in das Haus eingewiesen. Wir empfanden die Lage ideal für unsere Ausflüge in die Normandie. Die sanitären Einrichtungen sind sauber und funtional, haben ihre besten Zeiten aber schon lange hinter sich. Handtücher waren sehr knapp bemessen. Teller und Tassen könnten ruhig etwas mehr vorhanden sein, ansonsten war das Geschirr aber ausreichend. Mit leichten Abstrichen am Haus hatten wir trotzdem einen erholsamen Urlaub und wunderschöne Tage in der Normandie.

Erholsamer Urlaub in wunderschöner Umgebung

Wir haben 14 sehr erholsame Urlaubstage in diesem idyllischen Ferienhaus, das sich in wirklich paradiesischer Lage mitten in der Natur befindet, verbracht. Die Ausstattung des Hauses ist hervorragend, die Einrichtung geschmackvoll und wohnlich. Wir fanden die Erkundung des in Deutschland eher unbekannten Teils der Normandie sehr interessant und erlebnisreich, insbesondere bei unseren zahlreichen Fahrradtouren. Nur eines hat uns im Haus gefehlt: Ein Staubsauger😁.

About the host

Hosted by Elie Pallandre

Host profile image
Although my wife and I live in the US, the attachment to this family house is strong and we stay there several times each year when we come to France.

Why they chose this property

The hunting lodge and the forest (120 acres) where the house is located were purchased by my grandfather, who enjoyed hunting with his friends and meals in front of the fireplace. After my father inherited the property he bought the frame and foundation of a 200 year old Normand timber-frame house and built la Mûche in 1974 in an area of the forest with views of the Risle river.

What makes this property unique

Being in the middle of a forest with a view of the valley provides a great place to relax away from traffic and the pressures of modern life.
Having 120 acres gives many walk opportunities and a place for children to play.
In early 2017, La Mûche was the recipient of an award from the Agency for Tourism Development of Eure.
