A delightful little house near the Seine.

A wonderful property and lovely hosts. Elizabeth and Jean-Christian went out of their way to welcome us. A great selection of maps and tourist information on hand for your days out. The village itself (a very short walk) is tranquil with basic amenities - Bakery, farm shop, bar, restaurant and pharmacy. The house is cosy and very well equipped for your stay. We would heartily recommend to other families. We expect we will visit again!

What a lovely quiet place to stay & relax with many forest walks close by. Within walking distance of the beautiful St Martin de Boscherville Abbey & village that has a small Boulangerie, Boucherie & a restaurant which serves food at lunch times only. Fresh vegetables are available from the local farm market just 200m away from the property. Thank you Elizabeth & Jean Christian for being wonderful hosts.

Cosy gîte with a warm welcome in a beautiful location

La Petite Maison was the perfect place to stay to progress my French learning. We loved it and our hosts were very kind, welcoming and helpful. Beautiful gardens and surrounding countryside. Local shops in the village (which is within easy walking distance), include a boulangerie/pâtisserie, boucherie, farm fresh vegetables and a pharmacy. Also in the village is the 'Belle de Mai' restaurant and cafe situated opposite the Abbaye St Georges which is illuminated at night. Rouen city on the River Seine is easy to reach by the 530 bus. It has shops, restaurants, tearooms, history and a magnificent cathedral. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at The Petite Maison and totally recommend it!

We enjoyed the month of September in the gite. It was a great place to come back to after spending time in different cities. We had everything we needed and particularly loved the patio seating area and beautiful gardens. The best thing by far were our hosts, Elisabeth and Jean Christian, who went out of their way to make us feel welcome and were the kindest of people.

We both loved the gite. The location privately tucked away in the corner of the owners walled garden was lovely . Surrounded by flowers and beautiful trees really took our breath away when we arrived. The gite had every thing we required and more and the kitchen was fully kitted out. The hosts were absolutely wonderful and kinda made the holiday even better. We shall return thank you.

Nice host, but not the best stay

The road right behind is quite noisy with motorcycles racing around and big trucks/tractors at all hours The internet failed completely after a few days, although not the fault of the owner due to weather they had gone away so I couldn’t work and we had to leave. The cleanliness was not very good unfortunately, kitchen was not clean, food splattered, unclean microwave, broken glass on the floor! Dangerous if you have a dog (which we do) or little children! We did take pictures.

Lovely Stay...

I recently stayed in the very lovely little house in Saint Martin de Boscherville. What a great experience. Elisabeth and Jean Christian were excellent hosts…very attentive and available should I have questions or need anything. The house is super cozy with lots of room to spread out. I appreciated the well equipped kitchen. There is a virtual library of books and brochures related to many different subjects in the area. I had a dedicated parking spot under an abri, easy in and out of the secure property with a remote to the electric gate and firewood to have a warming and romantic fire in the evening ( I was there in February). Check in and out was simple with great communication. I had some much needed peaceful sleep while there. All and all it was an unforgettable experience. The little village is within easy walking village. I loved taking the car ferry ( so efficient!) at La Bouille. I would add that the area is not what I expected…it is just glorious…like a secret world that most people don’t know about. The forests are stunning and feature all kinds of trails for walking. I loved driving down side roads through green pastures ending up at the mighty Seine. I really enjoyed exploring the whole area and beyond. I used the location as a base to travel out to Etretat and Honfleur or Camembert and Pont L'Eveque. It was so nice to come back to the little house at night and make dinner and enjoy the fire. There is so much I still need to see and hope to return some springtime. It must be amazing at that time of year as well….I need to see the Lin flowers in bloom en masse ! Thank you Elisabeth and Jean Christian for your wonderful hospitality.

Lovely, warm, everything you'd need for a fortnight in France. Hot water, good shower, washer, well located for boucherie, boulangerie, cafe/resto and supermarkets 5 minutes away in the car. Elizabeth and Jean Christian are charming and welcoming, the former speaking perfect English.

Lovely little property in beautiful surroundings and in easy walking distance of village centre where there is butchers, Boulangerie and a market area selling local produce along with the Abbey. It was extremely easy to take the 531 bus to Rouen and would highly recommend rather than driving. This was not a problem for us but if you have mobility problems you may find the stairs difficult. The Hosts were away but we were met by there lovely French friends who were very helpful and informative.
