Easter Getaway
A great week in a beautiful and serene area of Normandy. A quiet, relaxing environment that catered perfectly for 2 families (including 2 dogs). Lots of lovely walks, exploring the historical nearby villages/towns with easy to reach supermarkets that sold the essential bread, cheese and wine.

we had great vacations
Beautiful house and wonderful nature and landscape around. Friendly and uncomplicated hosts! In the house you find good chairs and a sofa perfect to chill with wine in the evening. The garden is ideal for barbecues. The garden chairs were very comfortable too. Our 1 year old daughter was so happy about the sheep, cows and horses around the house. I made friend with the neighbor´s (our hosts) cat. We made a lot of walks and some longer tours in the fascinating landscape (farms, fields, woods, hills and valleys) around and met a lot of friendly cows (-: The whole family enjoyed the 2 weeks stay in Le Heron very much!

Marvellous house in a nice area, 30 min to Rouen
We enjoyed a nice week in this beautiful house. The thick roof keeps the heat out. The large front garden (with oregano, thyme,...to use) is reserved for the guests. Behind the house is another house where the daughter of the owner lives. She is available if any questions occur but She is there if you have questions, but leaves you completely alone. So you definitely have your peace and privacy. There is a small river nearby. Horses, cows, goats and donkeys live in the wider area. It is a 30 min drive to Rouen, which is really beautiful. We can definitely recommend a stay at this house.

Nous venons de passer un très agréable séjour au sein de cette chaumière tellement attachante. Sincèrement j'aurais adoré y rester plus longtemps...C'est un endroit très reposant et verdoyant...Cette demeure de charme est bien équipée et très confortable où l'on peut se ressourcer . Et la Normandie a tant de charme...

Hofanlage im Wald
Zuerst dachten wir, dass wir uns verfahren haben. Erst fuhren wir auf einer Art Waldweg, der zum Hohlweg wurde, bis sich eine Lichtung öffnete, in der ein wundervolles reetgedecktes Gehöft stand. Ein Haus durften wir bewohnen. Sehr schön, sehr still und nachts sehr dunkel. Das Haus liegt etwas abgelegen. Man muss schon immer mit dem Auto fahren, aber in Paris ist man in gut zwei Stunden. Auch Disneyland haben wir besucht. Das Haus können wir weiterempfehlen. Alles da was man braucht - auch schnelles Internet. Schneller als bei uns zuhause

Admirable séjour
Malgré le temps maussade, nous avons pu profiter de la région. Les photos du site sont loin de refléter la chaleur (au propre comme au figuré) de l'habitation. Rien ne manquait, le wifi était impeccable et l'atmosphère cosy avec un calme aux alentours impressionnant. De plus, l'on peut découvrir énormément aux alentours. Nous reviendrons en famille

Prachtig huisje
Prachtig huisje met dito tuin (schaduwrijke tuin). Bijzonder hartelijk gastvrouw, veel privacy. ‘In de buurt’ is veel te zien. Frankrijk, dus in de buurt betekent op 45 a 60 minuten rijden, soms meer. verrassend mooie omgeving (wijk vooral af van je navigatiesysteem). Huisje van alle gemakken voorzien. Keuken heeft summiere beschrijving, maar alles wat je nodig hebt. Smart tv en goede WiFi. Goede douche. Heerlijke bedden en (bedstee) stapelbed voor de kinderen is geweldig. Heerlijke vakantie gehad.

Countryside thatched home
This property was near the end of our extended French vacation and was a wonderful choice for enjoying a slower pace of touring -- very peaceful, quiet, remote place that had all the comforts of home. Our goal was to avoid large cities and enjoy the smaller villages, allowing us the opportunity to experience French country living. We very much enjoyed our stay and definitely hope to return.
