What a wonderful guest house to stay in. The inside is very bright, clean, quiet, comfortable and welcoming. We loved the outdoor space too, the resident goose was a blast to watch and interact with and the gardens were lovely. Quaint neighborhood, easy to navigate and access to shopping for groceries. For sure would stay here again!

We had a very enjoyable 2 week stay in Catherine's house. Very quite, wonderful garden in a peaceful surrounding. The house has everything one needs, spacious, well equipped and easy to clean. We holiday in France every year and this was one of the best houses, host and everything that you can expect.

A comfortable, clean and well-equipped cottage with shops within easy reach. As it was hot we spent most of our afternoons lounging in the sun in the pretty and peaceful garden, being amused by the chickens and geese. Thank you Catherine for a relaxing and rejuvenating stay.

Gite is on the edge of a housing development but is very private with parking behind a lockable gate and a beautiful garden shared with the hosts. We used the gite as a base to visit numerous places around Normandy. Gite is lovely inside, nice and airy with two sets of patio doors, has a separate modern shower room and toilet. The only slight negative is that there is no oven in the kitchen but a there is a combination microwave. We're not familiar with a microwave combo so it did restrict our cooking options. There is a large shopping centre within a five minute drive.

Le logement est très lumineux, bien assez spacieux pour 4 et d’une propreté impeccable. Surtout on bénéficie d’un jardin magnifique, fleuri et agrémenté par les poules et oies qui s’y promènent. Véhicule indispensable mais spa cieux facile et sécurisé. Facile d'accès. Catherine, nous a accueilli avec le sourire. Bref c’était parfait.

Sehr hübsches Häuschen, alles sehr sauber und gepflegt, sehr nette Gastgeberin, immer hilfsbereit. Vielen Dank an Catherine für die kleinen Aufmerksamkeiten. Wir hatten eine sehr schöne Zeit, viel Spaß mit dem Federvieh und Barentin war als Basislager für unsere Ausflüge perfekt.

Nous avons apprécié cet espace dans un joli coin de nature, jusqu’à la fontaine, avec sa jolie musique quand l eau s étend dans la mare où trônent plusieurs fleurs de lotus… Tout est bien pensé pour que les hôtes se sentent chez eux et c est ce que nous avons vécu. Et nous remercions Catherine pour toutes ses petites attentions ! Au plaisir de vous revoir, MC et Jacqueline

Nous avons passé 15 jours dans cette belle location à Barentin. La localisation est idéalement située pour découvrir la Normandie. La maison est magnifique, très bien équipée et d'une propreté irréprochable. Catherine et son époux sont très sympathiques. Disponibilité, discrétion et à l'écoute des besoins, Catherine fait tout son possible pour rendre le séjour agréable. Nous recommandons vivement cette location.

We loved the house and the garden. Barentin itself is not very interesting. Rouen is a lovely city.

Uns hatten die Fotos und das Inserat bei Fewo sehr angesprochen. Kontakt sehr spontan und über Details dann mit whatsapp. Das Haus liegt sehr ruhig auf dem grossen Grundstück der Vermieter. Das “Federvieh” macht den Aufenthalt kurzweilig. Das Haus ist ansprechend und gut eingerichtet, uns hat es an nichts gefehlt. Die Lage ist für Unternehmungen und Besuch von Rouen ausgezeichnet. Steht auf unserer Liste wenn wir woeder in diese Gegen€ kommen.

Sehr freundliche Gastgeber, das Haus liegt ein wenig abgelegen, dafür ruhig. Im Garten hat es viel Federvieh (Gänse, Enten, Hühner und Hähne), wer diesen "Lärm" nicht möchte, ist hier fehl am Platz. Wir haben dieses "Kino" sehr genossen!
