Lovely stay in a lovely apartment in spite of the weather!!
We spent four comfortable days in the lovely self-contained apartment above Carol and Philip’s home. The two bedrooms were well appointed with plenty of hangars in the closets, heating that we were able to adjust ourselves on a couple very cool nights, and views onto their beautiful garden. The shower room was separate from the WC, a great convenience, and the front sitting room had a TV, books to borrow, and lots of information flyers about Normandy. The very well-equipped kitchen had a kettle, a toaster, a two-burner cook top, and a counter-top oven all of which we put to good use. A lovely welcome package greeted us with a bottle of wine, butter and milk, jam, and a loaf of bread. The apartment was well-located for our purposes, out in the country away from the noise of city living. We were grateful to have dedicated off-road parking when we returned in the evenings after a day of touring. We had some helpful and pleasant conversations with Carol and Philip who are very personable. We would highly recommend this property for your travels in Normandy.

Excellent long weekend in Normandy
We rented this gite as a base where we could explore Normandy. It was in an excellent location - rural and yet not too far from the places we wanted to visit. The owners were very friendly and helpful and knew the area well as they had lived there for over 10 years. We really enjoyed our long weekend in Normandy and would certainly recommend this accommodation.

Beautiful, well presented rural Gite. Spotless with all you need & Close to amenities.
The information and welcome leading up to and during our stay was second to none. We enjoyed the rural setting with views over the fields and the garden is glorious. All this made for a relaxing stay with our grandchildren who enjoyed themselves immensely- the outdoor pool a few miles away, Rouan and Duclair were good visits close by and we enjoyed a trip to Giverny & Monet's house and garden. Playing 'Articulate' which we found in the cupboard was the highlight of our evenings! The gite itself was great - spotless, very well presented, spacious and with everything we needed. The basic provisions left for us including a very welcome bottle of wine were very much appreciated. I hope the opportunity arises for us to return to the area - we would certainly book again with no hesitation. Many thanks for a wonderful few days!

Delightful property, exactly as pictured. Rooms were large, well equipped and very comfortable.
We had a lovely few days in this deceptively roomy and we'll equipped gite in St Paer. Carol and Philip were very welcoming and on hand to help if we needed any information about the surrounding area. The information pack in the gite was very comprehensive and we were sorry we didn't have longer to do more including some of the walks detailed and visits to places of interest in that area of Normandy.

Quiet, perfect location with excellent hosts.
The property was the top floor of a beautiful house set in a super garden and surrounded by fields. Very clean and nicely decorated, our comfortable accommodation provided everything we needed and more. Carol and Phillip were warm and welcoming and 'went the extra mile' by leaving the basics in the kitchen (some bread, milk, tea, coffee, ham, butter etc) to get us through the first night - although we had already found a supermarket in nearby Duclare. They very thoughtfully provided a plethora of leaflets, guides and maps for browsing and these supplemented our itinerary. We had specifically chosen St. Paer for access to Rouen. It was about half an hour by car through very pretty countryside and each journey seemed to get shorter. There is much still to see in the area and we would have no hesitation in booking with Carol and Phillip again - if they would have us! Thank you for helping us to have an excellent and unforgettable holiday.

Beautiful, Serene! Wonderful hosts and a clean accommodation.
Our stay at Penneville over easter was just perfect. The flat, the linen, towels was clean and well maintained. Mr. & Mrs. Tompkins were very welcoming and made sure the flat was stocked up with essentials like milk, bread, tea, coffee and even a complementary bottle of wine. The hosts were very helpful and had good knowledge of the local area. The garden in front of the house is beautiful. We had a nice relaxing afternoon with some nice wine in the garden. It was a lovely stay and we would love to go back. Highly recommended! - Salil & Sujata Joshi

Schattig verblijf
Leuk verblijf bij aardige Engelse eigenaren. Het huisje doet erg Engels aan. Het is op de bovenverdieping, wat vermeld staat op de advertentie. Het ligt aan een doorgaande weg, waar je in het huisje niet heel veel last van hebt, maar om, van de oprit te komen wel lastig.

Alles Prima
Wir können diese Unterkunft sehr empfehlen. Die Gegend ist großartig. In ca. 60min Fahrtzeit mit dem Auto gibt es viele schöne Strände zwischen Le Havre und Dieppe zu erkunden, alte Schlösser, Klöster, Städte. Die Gastgeber sind so, wie man es sich wünscht. Hilfsbereit, herzlich und doch zurückhaltend bis man von ihnen etwas wissen möchte oder braucht. Nur die Kommunikation mit den Gastgebern wird von der Vermietungsplattform komplett unterbunden es war nur mit großer Mühe möglich eine Telefonnummer von den Gastgebern zu erhalten, da diese von der Plattform ständig unterdrückt wurde und auch das senden der eigenen Telefonnummer oder E-Mail-Adresse war nicht einfach möglich. Doch dafür können die Gastegber nichts. Wir empfehlen deshalb unbedingt vor der Anreise rechtzeitig die Kontaktdaten auszutauschen. Allerdings muss man dafür schon einiges an Phantasie entwickeln, damit man das Ziel erreichen kann. Wir werden deshalb diese Plattform nicht mehr nutzen.
