La chaumière aux hortensias

An adorable thatched cottage set in landscaped grounds just above the Marais Vernier, an exceptional natural site.

Treat yourself to a truly Norman stay at La Chaumière aux hortensias! You'll fall under the spell of this adorable traditional timber-framed house topped with thatch and iris, nestled in the heart of a hectare of manicured parkland, planted with trees and flowers including magnificent hydrangeas: plenty of space to relax, play with the family, have a drink or dine al fresco! Inside, Michèle has created a warm, elegant cocoon with your comfort in mind: meticulously decorated, with pretty antique furniture in a contemporary setting, in light, soothing tones; the house opens out onto the garden through its bay windows.
The region is superb: in the heart of the Parc naturel des boucles de la Seine normande, the Marais Vernier is just 3 km away: a vast nature reserve, one of the largest peat bogs in Europe. Take a stroll, and you might come across a stork, a Camargue horse or a Scottish Highland cow?

SINGLE-STOREY GITE. The entrance leads into a warm living room with comfortable leather furniture and a spacious dining area overlooking the garden. Well-equipped separate kitchen with small dining area. Two pretty, bright bedrooms: the first overlooks the garden and can be set up as a double bed (160x200) or 2 twins; the second offers a double bed (this room doesn't yet have a window, but has a fixed frame on the corridor side for lighting). Separate shower room and toilet. Continuing on, a practical covered shed. You'll enjoy a 3000m² garden around the gîte, with your own parking space, on the spacious, enclosed one-hectare property shared with Michèle and Guy; garden furniture in front of the gîte and under the trees, a nice lounge and deckchairs. Badminton available. You're 1.6km from the GR23.
