For one night, or one week…Luxury Self Catering Gîte in Normandy, Francewith heated swimming pool
Bright Summer Day
La Ferme was once the farmstead of a working farm, and is a typical Normandy longere. It has been sensitively and lovingly renovated and restored, and is now available to rent for self catering holidays during July and August. It is a bit smaller than La Grange, and is perhaps more intimate. This makes it ideal for a couple, with 1 or 2 children – or 2 couples.
There is a comfortable lounge, a separate dining room, and a well equipped kitchen with 2 ovens, a large fridge-freezer, and a dishwasher. Off the kitchen is an east facing conservatory, that has great views from the house over the Bresle Valley, with table and chairs and makes for a wonderful sunny room for breakfast.
The Lounge
Upstairs there are 2 decent sized, very comfortable ensuite bedrooms. Guests are always speak highly of the quality of the beds and the deep sleep they get at Basse Copette. In one of the 2 rooms, there is a kingsize bed and a single bed. But there is room enough for 3 single beds should this arrangement be preferred. This room has an ensuite shower. The other bedroom has an ensuite bath, and there is a double bed. A washing machine is also available.
In front of the house is a large terrace with a garden table and chairs, and a portable BBQ is also available. From the terrace there are wonderful views over the Bresle Valley.
