Reviews of Property: Fully restored 18 Century Normandy Farmhouse, with outdoor pool

I should have done this review sooner seeing as we stayed last year but being back to the grindstone and ones wife having another baby it always seemed to get put to the bottom of the list of things to do. My family and our friends took the easy drive to Bruquedalle last summer and were amazed at how quiet and peacefull the whole area was yet fantastic markets, restaurants and shops were not far away at all. James advice to visit two particular markets was priceless and the fresh meats and cheeses available were great value too. We found ourselves (the adults of the group) enjoying a BBQ most evenings courtesy of our friend who, trust me, knows how to BBQ and downing a not to insignificant amount of local wine, cider and beer on the way. The grounds were more than spacious enough to keep our young children interested and during the rainy days (yes - Bruquedalle had as bad a summer as UK did ) the barn was large enough that they could still run havoc!! The locals were very friendly and my friend established at the very beginning of the stay that if you admitted that your french was 'terrible' (in as much of a french way as possible) to the shopkeepers they would open up to us much better than just shouting at them in English! Alltogether we had a good time and we were only let down by the weather and that we did not discover the cider factory just around the corner until the last day! I still have one bottle left that I am going to open when I next think I deserve a hangover - this cider is not for the faint hearted ! I will definately go back some time.
