Nature house in Montbray
Normandy, France
- 6 persons
- 3 bedrooms
- WiFi
- Pets allowed
This Naturehouse is a maison de maître in a small hamlet in Normandy Opposite the church of Saint Martin, I have restored this Naturehouse from a derelict in a style sympathetic to her age and have discretely made improvements to her energy efficiency. The furniture is antique, the beds, all original French (all 150cm kingsize, rare in France have been reupholstered and recovered in traditional toile de jouy and floral patterns). This Naturehouse and her gardens cover 2,250 square metres and the gardens are maintained by me with wildlife and the environment at the forefront; no pesticides or herbicides are used and the gardens are planted in keeping with the age and character of the house with the southern garden having been planted with peony (reflected in the decoration of the south-facing bedroom) and "old" roses - the "lawns" are left to their own devices for any periods when wild flowers are providing nectar-flow and in late spring are usually heavy with bee orchids.
Nature and surroundings
This Naturehouse is set at the edge of St Martin de Montbray with views of our adjacent orchards that provide apples from which we make cider. I am doing everything I can to encourage diversity in flora and fauna with the main orchards being largely unmown, tended by our rescue goats - many butterfly enjoy the orchards. The surrounding countryside is largely arable and pasture. In the gardens and orchards you may find toads, frogs, newts, salamanders, rabbits, foxes, hares, deer...

Unique house. It's hard to cool down. The living room smells a bit musty. Overall, a good experience.
Bijzonder huis. Hitte is moeilijk weg te krijgen. Geur van de woonkamer wat muf. Algemene ervaring goed.
Wonderful. Great place. Unfortunately, one evening there was extremely loud music coming from a house right next door. Probably just bad luck.
Heerlijk. Uitstekende plek. Helaas 1 avond loeiharde muziek van huis in de directe omgeving. Waarschijnlijk pure pech.

a beautiful house. owner has given it the allure of the origin of the house. a combo of eighteenth century (especially bedrooms.) dining room and living room very victorian /napoleon three and with accents of art deco but everything authentic a warm "non-contact" welcome by basket of bread and jam and wine ... we could sleep there for a long time making food .... so thank you !!! to be repeated
een mooi huis. eigenaar heeft het de allure gegeven van de origine van het huis. een combi van achtiende eeuw (vooral slaapkamers.) eetkamer en living zeer victoriaans /napoleon drie en met accenten van art deco maar alles authentiek een warm 'contactloos' welkom door mandje met brood en confituur en wijn ... we hebben er heerlijk lang kunne slapen eten maken .... dus bedankt !! voor herhaling vatbaar
wonderfully quiet. we loved the church bells at seven o'clock.
heerlijk stil. de kerkklokken om zeven uur vonden we prachtig.
