We spent an amazing week in this little cottage. The place is clean, cheerful and had every conceivable amenity we could possibly need to be comfortable plus a fenced in garden so our two little dogs could run around freely. It's such a peaceful place with a wonderful view of the surrounding countryside, with goats, donkeys and horses living in the fields next to you. The owners are very friendly and hospitable. On arrival we received plenty of useful information, a discount card for museums and a bottle of homemade cider. It's a great place for exploring the Normandy region. Just a few kilometres from Étretat, where nature has carved fabulous shapes out of the white cliffs, a charming place to wander around and grab a meal. We enjoyed driving along the coast, visiting Fecamp (the birthplace of the liquer Bénédictine), Veulettes-sur-Mer; or in the other direction to Honfleur, Deauville and Trouville-sur-mer; or inland along the river Seine to Lillebonne, Caudebec-en-Caux, and Jumieges; we enjoyed our day exploring Rouen, the city of Jeanne d'Arc; and a bit further afield are the D-Day landing beaches. After a day of taking in the sights, it was great to be able to relax in the garden with a glass of wine, or take the dogs for a walk through the corn fields. The covered porch allowed us to stay outside for much longer. Don't miss the sunset by the cliffs of Etretat though - it's spectacular!
