The Fournil gite is a lovely getaway in the Northern part of France. It's location works as a great base to feel you are out in the peace and tranquillity, but still with easy access by car to some key attractions - Paris (40 mins), Versailles (35 mins), Monet's Garden (25 mins), Rouen (45 mins). The gite itself has some lovely features, but a couple of points to be aware of. i/ A gorgeous terrace just off the main lounge, per pictures is ideal for enjoying a relaxing drink or even your early morning coffee & croissantsii/ lots of garden space, with covered dining area and loungers.. the pictures show the garden at it's best. Some of the furniture and the garden are not quite as polished as they look in the pictures anymoreii/ The same goes for the entrance courtyard which in the pictures looks quite polished but in reality has more of a rustic charm at presentiii/ There is no car parking directly at the property, but there are readily available spaces no more than 2-3 mins walk from the front gate and you can easily park to drop off luggage etc before moving thereiv/ The main bedroom is spacious and comfortable with a well fitted ensuitev/ The second bedroom is on the top floor which gets hot and stuffy. The property does have an aircon unit, but for the lounge only. Also the bed can only be accessed from one sidevi/ Finally be aware of the stairs, there are 4 levels and the stairs are steep, so consider if you are unstable on your feet. Overall enjoyed :)

We could not fault our stay at Louisa and Gerard's gite. The gite is the best we have stayed in, with a wonderful balcony overlooking a beautiful garden. It is in such a lovely area, we could hardly believe we were so close to Paris, so we had the best of both worlds - the city and the rolling countryside. We were met with such warm friendliness. We didn't want to leave and hope we'll be able to go back to go back to see Louisa and Gerard sometime.

Very nice place with a private back yard (front area is shared with the host). Very nice host, he was responsive to any questions we had. Has everything you'd expect, well appointed. Personally I loved the town, made for some nice walks / runs. From what we found, you will need to drive to a nearby town to get just about anything (aka, bread) but that wasn't a problem. Stayed with my wife and 23yo daughter. There are some reasonably narrow steps in the rental. My wife had a knee replacement done about 9 month ago and she was ok, but there are steps you will need to navigate daily between the bottom and the kitchen, then the kitchen and the bedroom / living room.
I have friends and family in the area and I will definitely stay here again.

Beautiful property, garden and veranda. Property was lovely and clean with everything we needed available. Hosts are very friendly and hospitable. As it was easter the host had even created an egg hunt in the garden which our kids enjoyed when they arrived! The location was good for access to Paris (1 hr drive) and Disneyland Paris (1.5 hrs drive) which was main purpose of our trip. As a bonus we discovered that it is also just 25 mins drive from Monet’s house and garden which was very much enjoyed on one of our more relaxing days. To round off a great week we accepted the host’s kind invitation to the local village Friday night social and the kids tried snail and the adults
practised their pigeon French! Thank you to Gerard and Louisa for going out of your way to being so hospitable!

We are a mixed group of tourists from several places in Europe, none of us spoke excellent french, who were there for a short stay of 8 days.
To know, the hosts live on-site in their own little cottage. This meant that when we arrived from our late flight at around 22:30, he was there and waiting for us to check in, which was a welcome relief.
The hosts Gerard and his wife are lovely, and extremely hospitable. They were welcoming to their home and showed us everything we needed to know for a lovely stay.
The house is much bigger than we expected. There are two good-size bedrooms and a lounge, which has two sofabeds. with an upstairs and downstairs WC, which caters well for a mixed group. There is a kitchen, induction hobs and various items of cookware and crockery, in addition to some other cooking necessities which happily did the job, and a balcony and a gazebo for outside dining.
Other quirks include a log fire, which we didn't really use given the 35+c temperatures(!) and a lovely plum tree, which we did use. Lots.
Overall, highly recommended, and will probably come again.

After inquiring, the friendly hosts arranged a third bed. This allowed us to stay comfortably in the house, which is small but bigger as advertised.
Quiet village, lovely surroundings. Private garden and a lovely terrace. Kitchen is very small, but has everything you need. Two toilets (one in bathroom with shower) , separate bathroom, nice bedroom next to the living room with the 'kids room' situated above the kitchen. Great little mansion, friendly hosts. Highly recommended.

Great place with a great host

We stayed at the cottage for 5 days, since our arrival Gerard was an amazing host, making sure everything was clear and we were feeling at home.
Gave a lot of attention to how we should take care with the kids, also making sure they’d have fun.
I definitely recommend the place. It’s spacious and cozy.

propre, confortable et très sympa
La maison est très belle et tellement propre.
Tout est fourni, comme promis.
Assez de place pour une famille avec 3 enfants.
Le jardin est très agreable pour se réposer, manger et pour les enfants pour jouer.
les propriétaires habitent juste à côté et sont toujours disponible pour vous si nécessaire.
ils sont surtout très sympathiques et aussi très amicaux avec les enfants. Ils ont fait de leur mieux même si nos enfants ne parlaient ni Français ni Anglais.
Le village est très pittoresque.
A 5 à 10 minutes en voiture il y a quelques grands magasins où vous pourrez faire vos courses.
Il y a beaucoup à faire et visiter dans la région:
France Miniature, Versailles, Paris, Giverny(Jardins de Monet), Thoiry Safari&Zoo, Les Andelys, Evreux, Rouen,..
En bref,
nous avons passé de très bonnes vacances.
Merci beacoup à Gérard et Louisa.
