This property is a credit to the hosts who have maintained a very high standard for years, since I first visited. The owner is excellent at communication and makes sure that they can meet with you to hand over keys, answer any questions and also provide local support. That said, this 17th century Fishermans cottage has been thoughtfully renovated and prepared. It has all of the old charm and is yet modern. I would advise some caution regarding accessibility as the staircase is an old circular staircase in keeping with the property's age. That said, with care for those less firm we have managed. I can't speak for chair users. The two bedrooms are full of character with a twin bed arrangement on the first floor and a king size double on the second floor. The modern bathroom is on the ground floor and extends out from the modern fitted kitchen. I should mention there is welcome tea and coffee and possibly a bottle of local cider in the fridge. One experience I've enjoyed once again is making a coffee early morning and sitting out in the back yard at one of the two tables and chairs, listening to the local wildlife. There are plants and shrubs that complete this idyll. Other facilities are the washing machine, which we used frequently as the temperature this week has hovered around 30c. In cooler times there is heating. The cottage is practically in the centre of Honfleur. The church is about 100 metres away with the old harbour centre not far beyond. If you have a car then the roads are small around old Honfleur. That said, there are good car parks within a few minutes walk. Drop your bags and go and park. The hosts can help. If you need it there is also broadband available. Or, to put it another way, I could quite happily live here. I hope that helps.

We were perfectly happy with the property and the support of the hosts. This wasn't my first visit and I hope will not be my last.

Clean and well appointed.

Stairs very narrow.
