Welcome to our cozy and comfortable house in a small village between Guise and Vervins. The bedrooms have Auping beds, the master bedroom has an Auping mattress. In front is a wooden terrace where you can have breakfast. At the back is a terrace where you can sit by the babbling brook, a 'ruisseau' the French call it. You can mostly hear the birds in the trees. With some luck you'll spot squirrels or ducks bravely wanting to go upstream. A little bridge takes you across the ruisseau to a slightly higher part of the garden. This section is a remnant of what was once a railroad. Behind it is another piece of garden where the petanque court should one day be resurrected. There are numerous fruit trees on the property. You may pick an apple, pear, plum or cherry for your own use during the harvest season. Inside you will find a stocked bookcase, puzzles, board games and DVDs. There is also a folder with information about the region, and a bundle of bicycle routes.

Nature and surroundings

In the area you will find many rural roads and the Axe Vert de Thiérache, ideal for comfortable cycling and walking. You will pass by the river l'Oise, cycle under the poplars along the route... You will also find several military cemeteries and war memorials in the area. The region is also known for its many fortified churches and the Familistère in Guise, Reims, Laon, Saint Quentin,... Those who like to be more sporty will also find what they are looking for: canoeing, swimming, skating,... The chances of meeting pheasants or deer are great! The surrounding villages are actually all idyllically situated, often by the water, along meadows or near the forest. Those who like to take beautiful pictures will certainly come into their own here. You will be staying in a quiet village with a population of about 140 people, who are very fond of peace and quiet. Yet it is also agricultural and sometimes you will hear or see a tractor passing by or you hear wood being cut.

    Everything delicious! A bath would give a 10 haha, but really thought of everything to make the visit as pleasant and relaxing as possible.

    We were looking for a quiet place not too far from The Hague and ended up at Le Sourd. A lovely little house with really all the trimmings. It is very palpable that the owners come there with love themselves and create a loving place to share with others. Communication with Hilde was super good and fast. We unexpectedly had to leave a day early due to a death and they were so understanding and accommodating. The place is lovely with beautiful garden and lush spots. Our daughter of 1 was completely delighted and ran around happily, we picked apples and made comté with recipe from the owners. We ate outside every evening with sounds of the birds and the babbling brook. A quiet environment, with nice trips to a lake in the French Ardennes and Saint Quentin was also a nice city to visit. An area of France that we did not know yet but certainly worthwhile considering the distance. Highly recommended!

    An absolute good!

    Nature, peace & environment: 5 /5

    Enjoyed this fine cottage in a beautiful spot. It is a wonderful place. Peace, space, a garden with several seating areas, terrace on the front and side/back of the house. The cottage is fully equipped. Comfortable beds, mosquito nets on the second floor, which is nice during hot days. It is also on the ground floor, during these days, good to keep cool. Nice that the children were also thought of. There were several play opportunities and even facilities for the little ones, such as rocking chair. Friendly and helpful owners. The contact was pleasant. In short, highly recommended!

    Was nice!!! - The house, the location, the rurality - Beautiful things viewed/seen: Laon, museum Matisse, the museum, the expo in Guise - Fine biking (no e-bike)/old railroad. Runs through a nearby village (with good bakery and nice restaurant).

    Nature, peace & environment: 4 /5

    A fine house. Comfortable. Very good sofas. But everything was good, of quality, done with care. Outside a nice terrace. Quiet, privacy! On a road where there are several houses. A large garden behind the house. Grass, trees, a stream.

What does “contactless stay” mean?
You can stay here without personal contact with the host, for example via a key safe or digital access. A contactless stay does not always have to be mandatory.
What does “Fireworks-free” mean?
The host indicates that the area is firework-free. Firework-free means that no firework bangs can be heard in and around the accommodation. You might occasionally hear some noise or see some light from fireworks set off outside the immediate area. It is important that you agree with the landlord on what you can expect.
