About this house rental

Seaside, woods, countryside all at once. The bourgeois villa of an artist painter of the late nineteenth century. An extremely calm and peaceful environment. Both house and park are spacious. The house has two living rooms, of which one very large (52 sqm and 4 meter ceiling), four fireplaces, four bedrooms, one kitchen, two bathrooms, three WCs. The three floors of the house and its large rooms allow at once peace, calm and also being together with family or friends. The garden is ideal for flower-lovers, kids and well-behaved dogs. The trees are partly one hundred year old. It is cared for by a gardener and has various essences: rhododendrons, hydrangeas, azaleas... The flowering season is at its best in April, May and June. The closed garden of about 2,700 square metres is also ideal for children as a playground. The house is bordering a state owned and protected forest, about 500 metres away from the cliffs of the Cap d'Ailly. You have various walking possibilities, starting directly from the house: the cliffs, the forest, the seaside, the countryside, the various world-renown gardens in the direct neighbourhood (the Princess Sturdza's garden at 350 metres, the Parc des Moutiers at 1.2 kms, the Shamrock collection at 3 kms, the sea-overlooking cemetery of Varengeville with its beautiful church, adorned with stained glasses by Braque.... Some sites to give you an idea of the neighbourhood:

This an interesting old property in a great location, close to Varengeville and near some beautiful gardens. It’s very comfortable - although admittedly there was just two of us for most of the time - with a large sitting room and plenty of secure outdoor space.

My recent stay at the seaside country house was nothing short of magical. Nestled in a picturesque landscape, this charming retreat offered the perfect blend of rustic charm and modern comfort. From the moment we arrived, I was enveloped in a sense of tranquility and warmth. The house itself is beautifully maintained, with every detail thoughtfully considered. The interior exudes a cozy atmosphere with comfortable furnishings, and large windows. Waking up to the sound of birds was an absolute delight. One of the highlights of my stay was the spacious living room with a fireplace. Whether sipping my morning coffee or enjoying a glass of wine at sunset, it was the ideal spot to unwind and take in the natural beauty surrounding us. The well-manicured garden added to the charm, providing a peaceful place to read or simply relax. The hosts were exceptionally welcoming and attentive, ensuring that every aspect of our stay was perfect. Their local knowledge was invaluable, offering great recommendations for nearby attractions, hidden beaches, and the best seafood restaurants. I felt genuinely cared for and appreciated their thoughtful touches, such as the welcome treat. The location of the country house is another standout feature. It offers the best of both worlds – the serene seclusion of the countryside and the invigorating proximity to the sea. In conclusion, my stay at the seaside country house was a truly rejuvenating experience.

There was so much to like about this property - the age, size and character of the house, the large garden (of which the children took great advantage), the heavily treed and otherwise very attractive neighbourhood in which it’s situated, its proximity to the sea, the access it gave us to an outstanding local bakery, the many walks it opened up for us, the short distance to Dieppe and all that it has to offer (most notably the Saturday morning market), the well supplied kitchen, the option we had of eating our meals both indoors and on the porch outside, to mention only some of its appealing features. Marc was also an excellent host, especially in the lead up to our visit, during which he sent us lots of helpful information about both the house and the local area that made our stay that much more enjoyable.

We have very nice memories of a week's holiday in this beautiful historic house. The house is situated in a prime location, has a large beautifully maintained private garden and exudes warmth and love. There were some minor problems with the refrigerator and washing machine but these were quickly taken to heart by the concierge. We also received from the owner a financial compensation for this discomfort.( very much appreciated ! )

We had 1 regret from our trip to France, not enough time in this beautiful home and garden!! After 4 busy days in and around Paris, this stay in a beautiful turn of the century home was exactly what we needed. The beautiful garden was so peaceful and the home so welcoming. We really cannot say enough great things about it. The owner and property team were great to work with and provided an abundance of information about the property and surrounding area. Our family was entirely blessed to find this beautiful corner of paradise.

We had an absolute great time chez Marc. Everything from initial communication with Marc and property manager Franck was top! The house is absolutely charming with enough room for the 11 of us. The beds are comfortable, the kitchen is stocked with anything you could need. I would love to return in the summertime. The area is beautiful and we had many good walks on the beach. Highly recommend this magical place!

Our experience renting this property was excellent. Marc was quick to respond, had loads of helpful information to share about nearby restaurants and areas to explore, and we were welcomed with cider, Norman apple cake, and apple juice! The house is simply beautiful. Everything was clean and tidy. The beds were very comfortable. The kitchen was well stocked with everything you could need to make meals. The beautiful gardens and outdoor seating and dining areas were much used by us. We had the best time here and would love to return.
