100 Year-Old Farmhouse, Picturesque Seaside Setting, Picardy Coast, Normandy, France Reviews

The property is superb. Beautifully clean and well kept with just about everything you need including a great shower. It is situated on the edge of the wetlands about 1km from the beach and the area is nice and flat for short bike rides on the bikes provided. The village of Ault is nearby which looks incredible viewed from the wetlands and is very nice close up as well. It's easy to ride or drive to for croissants in the morning.The nearby towns of St Valerie sur Somme and Noyelles sur met are extremely pretty, the former has a fantastic "go ape" style treetop parcours centre for kids. The very chic and sun bleached town of Le Crotoy is not not much further with a great beach. Le Touquet is within easy reach as is Dieppe and Le Tréport.

The owners communication is superb and very helpful with a booklet providing all the necessary information. He kindly phones you once to check everything is ok and although we never needed him, a handyman lives nearby in case of a problem.

This area was not one I would ever have initially have thought of in the same way as Normandie or Brittany but is was a great find with plenty to do, still typically French and yet a very short journey to the French side from the Chunnel. I would add that the weather was very good whilst there and that the photos here perhaps do not quite do it the justice it deserves. I can heartily recommend both the accommodation and the location. Hope to go back, possibly without the kids to make the most of it all.
