We had a wonderful stay at this lovely place. Janine, the owner, was so kind and helpful. We took the bus into Rouen, and it was close by and easy to use. There are two markets nearby plus a weekly farmer’s market. The kitchen was well stocked and we ate several dinners in after spending full days driving around the easily accessible countryside. We would definitely stay here again! Thank you, Janine!

A lovely place with a welcoming and helpful host who lives on site. Rouen is easily accessed with frequent buses. The place is secure and quiet (The church next door only rang its bells on Sunday) with a very pretty garden. The garden can only be accessed up a flight of steps outside so not accessible for all. Everything was as described, although the Internet is not fast. We had a great stay at Janine’s place exploring Rouen and the surrounding area.

For our FIVE night stay, only One small roll of toilet paper was provided. There was a minuscule amount of soap in the bathroom, and no soap or shampoo in the shower. We had to search all the cupboards to find the towels. The bed linen is rough, and the pillow cases don’t fit North American style pillows. On the positive side our host was easy to communicate with, and when asked she gave us extra soap and toilet paper as well as some detergent for the washing machine (much appreciated).I could not find any reference in English to the cleaning fee, but we paid it nonetheless
