We had an amazing week at the River House. Our family included teens and adults. Thanks to information from our host we were able to easily get into Paris, visit the D-Day beaches, Chateau Gaillard and other nearby sites. Wouldn’t hesitate to book this delightful home again.

Our family of 11 had such a wonderful time at this beautiful gîte. The very amenable host has paid a lot of attention to detail and provided a good deal of helpful advice and information about the local area. There is so much to do locally but when not busy the house and its location allows for fun days and relaxation. Thank you so much Jordan for allowing us to use your lovely holiday home.

We were a family party of 13 ranging from 1 to 70 celebrating various birthdays and being together after Covid. The whole property is beautiful and the configuration worked well for us - especially all the en- suite bathrooms and the large dining kitchen. The locals were very friendly on our daily walks along the river and the fresh croissants every morning were an added bonus. Jordan kept us informed every step of the way answering my numerous questions and checking that we had arrived safely. Would highly recommend Riverside House

A beautiful house that has been lovingly restored to provide an excellent facility that can accommodate up to 16 people. We loved the rustic French feel but all the necessary 'mod cons' to make if comfortable. We loved the pool and the ability to enjoy al-fresco dining.

The property & house are lovely. The farmhouse is roomy & comfortable. There was plenty of room and privacy for our large group. The kitchen is small but adequate. Our grandchildren loved the swing & spent hours in the pool. Our stay was absolutely delightful!

Riverside house is a beautiful house, situated at a good location in Normandy. This part of the Seine-valley is really wonderful. We stayed with a group of 7, we all liked the house and the surroundings a lot. The beaches of Normandy, Paris, even Eurodisney are within travel distance. We followed the footsteps of Monet, Giverny is close by as well. Warmly recommended.

We booked Riverside house a year in advance for our multi-family Christmas vacation from the U.S. The setting and accommodations were perfect for 3 families with 10 people. 7 bedrooms were beautifully renovated and 6.5 baths provided more than adequate space to feel roomy and private. The beds and linens were new and provided extremely comfortable sleep. Our families enjoyed the common areas by the fire box in the family room, large kitchen table for meals, and the backyard and fire pit for more family time together. The kids loved the swing and yard for playing and we all enjoyed the hikes along the Seine. The additional dining room off the courtyard made for a special candlelit Christmas dinner for ten people! Jordan was always available and accommodating. He made our visit special by having a Christmas tree set up for our arrival, provided a fantastic list of resources for: butcher, seafood, restaurants, towns to visit, etc. The freshly baked and delivered breads every morning (including Christmas morning) was just amazing. I would highly recommend Riverside House for anyone looking to be out in the country, close to nature, farms, small villages, and away from the hustle and bustle of city life. We made amazing memories for our families and children here and it will always hold a special place in our hearts. Thank you Jordan! Best wishes to you and your family.
