Photos and Description of this Eure holiday cottage Quiet self-catering gite for a romantic couple

Our half-timbered, self-catering cottage, which we use regularly ourselves, is set on a gentle incline in its own half-acre field, bordered by our 2 acre forest. It's perfect for walks and cycling straight from the door. People who've stayed here say it's like a Hansel and Gretel cottage. It's at the end of a track, surrounded by valleys, trees and meadows as far as the eye can see - yet less than an hour from Rouen, Honfleur and the sea. Pont-Audemer, the 'Venice of the North', with its canals and medieval buildings, is just 10 miles away. And it's only 2 kilometres from the historic village of St-Georges-du-Vievre, which has shops, post office bank, restaurant and bars. The cottage is small and simply furnished. It contains all the basic essentials, though. The living room has a beamed ceiling and wood-burner. The shower-room/WC is on the ground floor. And up steep stairs, into the roof space, with beams and 2 windows, is the double bed . Outside is a terrace with a view to die for.

The Cottage lies a kilometre from the tiny hamlet of St-Benoist-des-Ombres. It is one of only three properties in the valley known locally as 'La Vallee Blonde', and sometimes 'La Vallee perdue' because no one knows it's there, it's so off the beaten track. It's 2 miles from the traditional village of St-Georges-du-Vievre, famous for being a Resistance stronghold during the 2nd World War. The nearest supermarkets are in BRIONNE (5 miles) and PONT-AUDEMER (10 Miles). But don't forget the open-air markets. ROUEN is less than an hour away, famous for its cathedral, painted so often by the Impressionist Monet. The ancient leisure port of HONFLEUR is even closer, with its plethora of fish restaurants. Enjoy the sandy beaches of TROUVILLE, or have a flutter in the DEAUVILLE casino. Also within easy driving distance are several chateaux, museums, the PARC DE BRETONNE (including JUMIEGES), MONTFORT FOREST, the 'Cheese Trail' and LE BEC HELLOUIN, one of the 'plus beaux villages de France'.

A restful week in Normandy.

Normandy visiter Derbyshire
Review Submitted: July 15, 2009 Date of Stay: June 2009
We have just returned from spending a wonderfully relaxing week at the cottage. It is hidden away, up a narrow track surrounded by fields and woodland. If, like us, you yearn for peace and quiet then you would surely love this place. We divided our week between local woodland walks and travelling farther afield (Giverny - Monet's house and garden is not too distant and Honfleur is a wonderful old port to visit). The cottage itself is very compact and cosy- especially with the log burning fire lit in the evenings. The kitchen is well equipped, the toilet/shower area clean and the bed very comfortable (though gaining access to the upstairs area is via a quite steep set of wooden steps that might provide a challenge for some).
All booking arrangements, sending of keys and directions and the final return of deposit were carried out with great efficiency and timeliness. We hope to return.
Owner's Response: It's good to know that there are still places to go to for peace and quiet. It's exactly why we bought the cottage more than twenty years ago. It's the walks straight from the door that attracted us, together with being within easy distance of a bit of civilisation - Honfleur, Rouen and even Paris being within easy reach.

Idyllic setting for country cottage gite in Eure

Verulamium St Albans, UK
Review Submitted: July 11, 2009 Date of Stay: June 2009
The cottage exceeded our expectations. Its setting is truly rural, rustic even, but it was exactly as described in the website. Its own half-acre field was cut during our week-long stay, and it made a big difference to the aspect. The property was clean and well-maintained, and we had all the basics we needed for our holiday.
The nearest village of St Georges-du-Vievre is a couple of miles away. It has a good restaurant and a few shops for all basic needs. The cottage is an excellent base for excursions further afield, such as to Honfleur, Port Andemer, Trouville/Deauville, or Rouen.
The cottage is very quiet (the only neighbours are cows in the adjacent field), and it is heartily recommended for two people wanting a superb break in one of the prettiest parts of Normandy.
Owner's Response: I'm so pleased Julian enjoyed the peace and quiet of the cottage. It really is off the beaten track. And I can only agree with him that the cottage is in one of the prettiest areas of Normandy, being undulating and forested and perfect for walks and cycling. St-Georges-du-Vievre is good for all your basic food needs - butcher, baker, green grocer, newsagent, cafe and of course the restaurant Julian mentions, the 'Hotel de France'. There is a restaurant even nearer the cottage - half a mile up the hairpin bend into the hamlet of St-Benoist-des-Ombres itself. So you can walk there directly from the cottage, eat, drink and be merry, and just roll down the hill afterwards! Tip: take a torch if you know it will be dark when you emerge from the restaurant.
