This gîte offers comfort in an unusual setting. A former pigeon house where you can cook with everything you need, and the living room where you can relax and enjoy the sunshine from the bay window. As soon as you enter, you know where you are and appreciate the furniture designed for your comfort. Upstairs, you can sleep in an atypical bedroom with comfortable bedding. At the far end of the house, a second bedroom is available, close to the sky, where you can sleep in the heart of the century-old roof construction. Near the gîte, you can stroll along the fields and meadows where organic Angus cattle are raised.Walking is the activity to do from the gîte, but you can also explore the museums and battlefields of the 14-18 war.The city of Amiens and its cultural treasures are a 20-minute drive away. Please note that this accommodation is not suitable for people with reduced mobility or very young children.

Nature and surroundings

In the Pigeonnier de l'ancienne abbaye de Clairfaye, you'll be in the middle of Picardy fields, in an enclave of organic farming. A hedge planted by our father more than 20 years ago has reached maturity. Together with the groves on the property, they are home to many animals. You're sure to hear pheasants, spot chickadees, robins; with a bit of luck, you'll see a variety of woodpeckers, or a large nutcracker beak. And if you're lucky, you'll spot a woodpecker or a large stone-cracking beak. You'll be immersed in the local biotope, enveloped in the calm and tranquillity of the gentle symphony of whispering wind and the ululation of barn owls and pheasants, the only kings of the estate. Clairfaye Abbey has been a haven of serenity and retreat since 1120... Massages can be booked on site.

    We really enjoyed our time in this special cottage! In early October and still able to have breakfast outside without a coat, lovely in the sun, with the chickens around you. The house itself had good heating, an induction stove, washing machine and a good bathroom. The toilet did have to be flushed several times before everything was flushed. Upstairs was a nice spacious room with a large window that let in a lot of light. The only thing that really bothered us was the fact that there were so many flies, every night there were dozens on the floor so it felt like you had to walk through a fly mine field. Since the couch is under an elevation, and there were flies there too, we did not always relax on the couch. So overall a nice experience for a few days, you have to take the bugs for granted.

    In het huis is alle comfort aanwezig: keuken is goed uitgerust: oven, kookplaat ( 4 eenheden), grote koel/diepvriescombinatie, een combi microgolfoven, kleine koffiezet en waterkoker, meer dan voldoend borden, potten en pannen, bestek. De slaapkamer op de eerste verdieping heeft een goed bed. De aanpalende badkamer is handig. Het beddengoed en handdoeken roken lekker fris. De afwerking in de 'duiventoren' is apart: er is bewust gekozen voor veel ruw hout (heeft zijn charmes), maar de splinters moet je erbij nemen. Hierbij zijn de schroeven niet goed weggewerkt waardoor ik drie keer mijn vingers bezeerde. Het badkamermeubel is niet echt handig en veel te groot waardoor je wat moeilijk het toilet kan gebruiken. De leefruimte boven is heel ruim met een goede zetel, veel lichtinval, goede tv en sterk wifi-signaal. De slaapkamer daarboven is voor durvers: je slaapt letterlijk tussen de balken. Je verblijft in een oud, stenen gebouw (niet: verouderd!) waardoor je wat vochtigheid vanuit de grond krijgt. Als je de keukenkasten opentrekt, ruik je dat. Het stoort niet. De theepot hebben we niet gebruikt, want die had wat veel te lijden van de vochtigheid. De ramen opzetten helpt, maar er zijn geen vliegenramen: hebben we maar 1 keer gedaan: veel te veel vliegen en muggen binnen. Maar: het is en blijft een aanrader voor wie de rust opzoekt. Talloze wandelingen vertrekken vanaf je achterdeur. Ook fietsen ( wij hebben e-bikes) is echt zalig. Het contact met de verhuurder is heel beperkt: dat ze zelf op vakantie ging, wisten we helaas niet. Toch met veel plezier 4 sterren.

    5/5

    Als je op zoek bent naar rust en stilte is deze locatie zeker het overwegen waard. Ver van alle grote wegen aan de rand van de velden.

    We felt very comfortable and were warmly welcomed, beds were freshly made and towels were ready, a service I only know from hotels in Germany. There was always a pleasant breeze in the rooms as we always had the windows open. And the best thing: there were no mosquitoes!!!

    Wheat fields as far as the eye can see, incredible expanses and the smell of camomile in the air. We really enjoyed it and the weather was kind to us...
