Our experience at the Gites du Colombier was mixed. The property is beautiful, quiet, and has helpful hosts who provide local activity information. It’s an ideal place to stay. The nearby town of Tôtes is charming, with excellent dining options like La Vieille Auberge, Au comptoir gourmand, and Restaurant Le Normandy, all of which we highly recommend. However, the website listing is inaccurate. Features mentioned were absent, leading to additional costs. For example, the website shows an ‘above-ground’ pool, but there was none. Wifi is available in the owners’ home, 100 meters away, so we had none. The electric car charging port is described as ‘on-site’ but is actually a commercial point 2 km away. The website claims a nearby river and beach for waterskiing, but the nearest beach is over 40 km away, and we found no river. We were charged extra for towels and bedlinen and had to make our own beds when we arrived, and then 50 for cleaning for a four-night stay. Before checkout, we received a bill for electricity and water. While some chambres d’hotes charge extra for services, this isn’t common in the UK, and none of these charges were mentioned on the website. Vrbo should ensure accuracy, as this listing isn’t. We would have highly recommended the accommodation if it had been as listed.

My family and I enjoyed a wonderful stay for a long weekend away from Paris. The property is very well maintained and is well situated for exploring the Normandy area. It's great for small kids in particular, as you have a private yard with a playground and sand pit. In addition, the accommodation is located on a farm with animals, which my children enjoyed observing. My only feedback for the owners would be to make clear on the website the additional charges for sheets, towels, electricity, and water usage. Unless I'm mistaken, this information is not detailed on the site, so people may be surprised about the extra charges. Overall, it's a very quiet, family-friendly option for those looking for a short getaway from Paris or those looking to explore the region. I highly recommend!

Dear Claire Thank you so much for letting us stay in your wonderful gite! The children loved their bedroom and being able to see the cows and chickens each morning. We had a wonderful week exploring the countryside and the beach. We found the gite had everything we needed, although a few dishwasher tablets and a spare bin bag would have been useful on arrival, nothing a quick trip to local supermarket couldn't solve though! The main bedroom was lovely, it's such an interesting building! The top bedroom was awesome, the children had great fun playing up there and exploring the garden. The noise from the farm was no issue, and having the baby cows come up to the kitchen window was enchanting! All in all we had a great time, it was easy to get into Rouen for shopping and restaurants, and half an hour to the beach for some sun. Visiting Vueles-les-Roses is a must, thanks for the tip Claire! Bon journee! Rich & Lynz

The property sits on a working farm at the end of a quiet lane in a small hamlet. The setting is very rural but being on the farm is interesting as the free range cows surround the property and during our week we saw the entire harvest process in the fields behind. The property is clean and tidy and has basically all you need for a comfortable stay. The owners are on hand if you need them but are not intrusive, other than a wave as you drive past. Despite being and feeling rural there is good and easy road access so you can get to both Dieppe and Rouen in 30mins. There are other things to do fairly close by including theme parks, animal parks, and walking/cycling trails. If you’re prepared to drive then the Normandy beaches are about 1.5hrs away but on easily accessible roads. However, along the coast from Dieppe there are other lovely seaside fishing villages and beaches worth a visit. It’s a pleasant and relaxing place to stay.

A beautifully renovated old dovecote on a working farm in Normandy. This was the perfect vacation home for our family. The garden is completely fenced off, so our three young children and our dog could roam freely. The kids loved the outdoor playset, the sandbox and the swimming pool. They also loved their room on the top floor. The surroundings are beautiful and very secluded. We enjoyed our daily walks. Claire was very welcoming and provided useful information about the sites to visit. Highly recommended!

This was a great place to stay with 2 young children. The kids loved the outside play area. We found the rest of the property and facilities exactly what we needed.
