A marvellous Gite, and we have stayed in quite a few over the years.....beautifully equipped modern and tastefully decorated. Unlike many gites, it is obvious that this was converted for purpose, and planned with care and thought for visitors to enjoy. A rural and peaceful setting with a lovely village (Auffay) a few minutes away - a very good boulangerie, excellent butcher and a fine small but traditional market on Friday mornings selling lots of local produce. We think this gite would be especially suitable for younger families in the summer, with many facilities provided - down to the most thoughtful detail. We stayed with teenagers, and appreciated the open and airy aspect of the barn, the huge woodburner which kept the whole place toasty and snug, despite freezing cold temperatures outside, a plentiful supply of wood was included in the rental price as well. To supplement, in extra cold weather, the heating was modern and efficient. Comfy beds, a very well equipped kitchen (including a raclette machine - what a bonus), good internet access (for the kids a must!) and a gorgeous window with french doors opening onto a decked area which allows the sun to stream in through the afternoon and evening.
Access to Dieppe (which should not be overlooked as it has some great seafood restaurants) and Rouen with its amazing architecture, churches and shopping is easy and less than half an hour. Further afield but still an easy day trip are the beaches of Normandy, Le Memorial museum at Caen, the beautiful Honfleur and in the summer, it would be a short ride to Giverny and Monet's garden (this does not open until the spring). Overall a great base for touring the area but with that added tranquility of being really rural and quite. Lovely hosts too.
