Upstairs, a bathroom with shower, washbasin and small cabinet, separate toilet, a bedroom with double bed and a beautiful view of the meadow and cows.

Nature and surroundings
You have a private garden not overlooked with garden furniture, parasol, 2 wooden chiliennes, swings, slide, sandbox. The swimming pool is private. The gîte is located on a farm, where we grow wheat, flax, beet, rapeseed and have Salers cows. Over the past 4 years, we've diversified by creating an actinidia orchard (Kiwi and kiwai), with the 1st harvest in 2022, and also by planting Lyciets, which produce goji berries. This nature house belogs to a farmer who planted five kilometres of hedge in 2017, 60 trees in 2018.

A fine vacation home in a unique location.
Een fijn vakantiehuis op een unieke locatie.
This old dovecote is quite remote, in a hamlet, in a farmyard. On the farm there is activity (tractors back and forth, quacking geese and ducks, cows being moved from one field to another) and in the background the rustling of the highway can be heard, but it is by no means disturbing. The shady garden is large enough to accommodate two children playing and two parents reading in a summer chair. Meals can be enjoyed at the picnic table. The pool is a godsend in summer weather. The cottage itself has everything desirable, from wine glasses to a washing machine. The rather hard mattresses in the beds will take some getting used to. Wifi is not there (not needed either) and mobile coverage is reasonable. There are nice outings in the area (Étretat, Rouen, the zoo inClères, picturesque Veules-les-Roses), but everything requires the use of a car. In nearby Tôtes there are two bakeries and two supermarkets.
Deze oude duiventil ligt vrij afgelegen, in een gehucht, op een boerenerf. Op de boerderij is bedrijvigheid (trekkers heen en weer, kwakende ganzen en eenden, koeien die van het ene landje naar het andere worden gebracht) en op de achtergrond is het ruisen van de snelweg waarneembaar, maar dat is allerminst storend. De schaduwrijke tuin is groot genoeg om twee spelende kinderen en twee in een zomerstoel lezende ouders te herbergen. Maaltijden kunnen aan de picknicktafel genuttigd worden. Het zwembad is een uitkomst bij zomers weer. Het huisje zelf heeft alles wat wenselijk is, van wijnglazen tot een wasmachine. De vrij harde matrassen in de bedden zullen voor sommigen even wennen zijn. Wifi is er niet (niet nodig ook) en mobiel bereik is er redelijk. In de omgeving zijn leuke uitjes (Étretat, Rouen, de zoo inClères, het pittoreske Veules-les-Roses) te maken, maar voor alles is het gebruik van een auto nodig. In het nabijgelegen Tôtes zijn twee bakkerijen en twee supermarkten.

We had a very nice stay in this beautiful "dovecote" in this nice quiet location. The kids loved the garden (the special swing and the pool). Location is well located for trips in the region, and close to supermarket.Highly recommended!
Wij hadden een heel fijn verblijf in deze mooi "duiventil" op deze mooie rustige locatie. De kinderen waren gek van de tuin (de speciale schommel en het zwembad). Locatie is goed gelegen voor uitstappen in de regio, en dichtbij supermarkt.
Een aanrader!Very quiet location on the farm. You have your own private place, between the cows and the fields. Pleasant enclosed garden.
Heel rustig gelegen op de boerderij. Je hebt je eigen privé plekje, tussen de koeien en de velden. Aangename afgesloten tuin.

Large, beautiful, fine furnishings and kitchen equipment. Beds fine, not very long.
Groot, mooi, prima inrichting en keukenuitrusting. Bedden prima, niet heel lang.
Nice cottage with lots of space (many beds). Furnishing fine with games and toys, dining table, TV and sitting area. Outside nice lawn, small playground and super nice pool. Despite no perfect summer weather we swam every day! Farm is quiet. View of cows and calves is beautiful, also saw a fox walking through the meadow! If you want to keep the dog outside you can close the gate.
Mooi huisje met veel ruimte (veel bedden). Inrichting prima met spelletjes en speelgoed, eettafel, tv en zithoek. Buiten mooi grasveld, klein speeltuintje en super fijn zwembad. Ondanks geen perfect zomerweer elke dag toch even gezwommen! Boerderij is rustig. Uitzicht op koeien en kalfjes is prachtig, ook een vos zien lopen door de wei! Als je de hond buiten wil houden kan je het hek sluiten.
