Thatched Cottage on the Banks of the Seine

This fairy-tale cottage is situated in one of the loveliest villages along the famous Route des Chaumieres (Thatched Cottage Route). It is located in Eure, near the border with Calvados and Seine-Maritime. The cottage has four bedrooms and can sleep up to 8 people. There is a garden of about an acre running from the cottage down to the banks of the Seine River. The village is within the Boucles de la Seine national park, and there are cycling and hiking trails along the river and into the forests from the doorstep. Less than an hour to Honfleur, Deauville, Etretat, Le Havre and Rouen, the pebble beaches of the Alabaster Coast and the sandy beaches of the Cote Fleurie. A perfect base for walking, cycling, golf, horseback riding, and exploring Norman history, culture and gastronomic delights.

Perfect house in a beautiful, tranquil location with amazing views.
Les Iris is a very beautiful, traditional house. We were warmly welcomed by Christine on arrival, the house was clean and well equipped, with a delightful garden sloping down towards the village 'green' and the river. There is ample seating to eat outside when the weather allows. A car is a must as there aren't any facilities within walking distance of the house. The village itself is charming, with mostly thatched 'chaumieres', it would benefit from a bar or taverne or cafe or basic shop, but other than that the location is ideal to travel around that area of Normandy, with easy driving distances to places like Honfleur, Etretat and so on. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend the house to anyone looking for a quiet holiday home with beautiful scenery right from the garden door.

Stunning, cosy cottage - perfect for a quiet holiday away from it all.
We spent a week in this lovely cottage with our kids (5yrs and 2yrs). The village is like something from a fairy tale and is great for day trips - we went to honfleur, bayeux, pont-audemer (great Saturday market). 5 mins drives from Bourneville where you can buy fresh bread/pastries. The house is simple, warm and cosy, with spectacular views of the Seine which is right at the end of the garden. You can go for nice walks along the river. The garden is brilliant for kids to run around in (just the job for an Easter egg hunt). The kitchen could have done with some basics that would have been helpful (sharper knives, peeler, garlic crusher, tin foil/cling film, more ovenware options), but we did fine. The owner was lovely and helpful in all communications. A real treat to stay in a proper thatched cottage and get to know Normandy.

Eine Erfahrung, die es wert war! - Super!!!
Ein tolles und sehr ungewöhnliches Haus. Darin ein paar Urlaubstage zu verbringen war für uns und die Kinder sehr aufregend. Das Haus ist so verwinkelt und nichts entspricht den üblichen 3-8-15 Normen. Der Garten ist riesig, voll eingezäunt und hat eine tolle Aussicht. Unsere Kinder und unser Hund haben ihn sehr genossen. Aber auch die gesamte Gegend gehört zu den sehr gepflegten und schönen Ecken dort. Obwohl das Haus sehr alt ist, haben die Besitzer bestmöglich versucht gewohnte Dinge des Alltags zu instalieren. Auch die Ausstattung war schön und funktional. Von uns gibt es daher 5 Sterne und einen dicken Daumen hoch.

Jolie chaumière accueillante
On s’est senti tout de suite comme chez soi / un petit bémol l’absence de bois pour une très belle cheminée - il serait agréable d’avoir un gros sac de buches à l’arrivée et pas seulement 2 buches quitte naturellement à le payer

Heerlijk verblijf!
We hebben hier een week doorgebracht met 3 van onze volwassen kinderen met aanhang. Wat een heerlijke week! Het huisje is sprookjesachtig, de tuin enorm, de buren aardig. Veel te doen in de buurt, we zijn naar de invasiestranden geweest, naar het gewone strand om te zwemmen, naar een klimbos, de dierentuin. 's Avonds lekker eten in de tuin en daarna spelletjes gedaan. Een echte aanrader wat ons betreft! Hans en Ariadne

Bonita casa en una pequeña población de preciosas casas típicas; un lugar increíble. Precioso jardín que te lleva hasta la orilla del Sena. Sitio cómodo y tranquilo. Si eres alto cuidado con la cabeza en las habitaciones del primer piso :). Muy recomendable.

Mooie romantische woning met grote tuin en mooi uitzicht
We hebben een mooie week gehad met 6 personen (gezin, kinderen 17-22). Het is een heel mooie cottage in een mooi idyllisch dorpje (geen voorzieningen, maar wel dichtbij). Veel natuurschoon (.rivier, bos). De woning was schoon en volledig ingericht. De tuin is heel groot, goed onderhouden en grenst bijna aan de oevers van de Seine waarop je vanaf het huis uitzicht hebt. Er is wel een gebrekkig satelietsignaal (tv/wifi). Na even wennen was dat een verademing...! Binnen een uur rij-afstand genoeg te doen (stad/strand/historie/natuur). Een aanrader wat ons betreft.
