The perfect get-away
Review Submitted: July 6, 2010
Date of Stay: June 2010
My partner and I were after a relaxing break away from work, stress and noise. This cottage didn't disappoint. It is in the middle of its own field, surrounded by woodland and up a tiny country lane. Our nearest neighbours were the cows and horses, which you can watch out of the kitchen window!
The surrounding area is perfect for wildlife spotting - we even spent one walk strolling behind a rather relaxed deer for a good 20 minutes - and we really enjoyed the brilliant walks in the surrounding countryside (which is mainly woodland and rolling fields).
When we fancied a change of scene we took a day trip to Honfleur on the coast, which was gorgeous, with numerous art galleries, museums and places to eat. I would also strongly recommend visiting the extravagant gardens at Le Champs de Bataille. The market at Pont Audemer is also worth a trip.
The cottage is small - a perfect dolls house - but it is perfect for a couple on a romantic get-away. We ended the week wishing we could stay there forever!

Owner's Response: Laura and her partner really took advantage of what the cottage and its situation has to offer. Its position away from any road, on the banks of its own valley surrounded by meadows and flanked on one side by our own forest is perfect for a relaxed getaway for two. There are lovely walks straight from the door, and cyclists will also find enough of a challenge, as the narrow country lanes have their ups and downs. You're away from it all, but only a couple of miles from St Georges du Vievre for shops and other essentials. And, as Laura says, fabulous Honfleur (not to mention the seaside) is just a short car ride away. And for those who crave a bit of city life after so much countryside, you can make an easy day trip to Rouen or Paris, as well. Jennifer
