Le Gaillon is totally private and so peaceful, you will be able to forget the hustle and bustle of life and just enjoy being totally by yourselves with nobody else around. Inspected and recommended by Alastair Sawday in the 2006 edition of the 'Special Places to Stay - French Holiday Homes' guide, Le Gaillon is totally private, with outstanding views over beautiful countryside. Inside, it’s very comfortable as it is our well-loved holiday home (much tidier than our main home though!) and it has been furnished to a high standard with a mix of antique furniture, comfortable sofas, big rugs and original stone floors. We do everything we can to ensure that you will have a fantastic holiday.

Outside
Large enclosed garden (3000 sq.m.). Table tennis, table football, barbecue, boules etc.
Coast/Beach
35 minutes drive to the glorious Normandy coast at Dieppe: the "Cote d’Albatre" - rugged, uncrowded, and full of French charm with beautifully clean sand and pebble beaches below white chalk cliffs.
Golf
There are a number of golf courses within easy reach, making Le Gaillon an excellent base for golfing breaks. In fact Normandy is rated among the top ten most desirable golfing locations in the world!
St-Saens - This course is incredibly varied; you will experience parkland, moorland and water holes here. As with most French courses, you will find it difficult to believe how such a great course can be so empty! Has a magnificent chateau clubhouse where you can enjoy an excellent reasonably priced lunch or dinner.
Etretat – perched at the top of the cliffs, the golf course is in a setting of unique and rare beauty. When the wind blows, you may find it tough, but whatever your score may be, it will be a memorable, magic experience.
Champ de Bataille - Arguably Normandy’s finest, and quickly gaining the reputation of one of the most beautiful golf courses in France. Gentle opening and finishing holes, but 16 of the most challenging and scenic golf holes in between!

Distances

Guest comments
Tony, Angela, May and John, North Somerset 29/04/2006:
"It has been a very peaceful stay in this delightful farmhouse. If you need to get away from the hustle and bustle of life, this is certainly the ideal place to stay. We would thoroughly recommend it to our friends... We visited "the beaches", "the Somme", Paris, Monet's garden - all in a week!"
"A beautiful position - the only sounds we have heard have been the birds and sometimes the cows. We have seen deer, a red squirrel and a hare and its baby! A lovely cottage, which was spotless on our arrival - very homely - loved the fires, very cosy. Beds lovely and comfortable".
Chris, Rebecca and Zac, Wandsworth, London 19/04/2006:
"We have been regular visitors to the Pays de Bray for a number of years - this is by a country mile the best place we have stayed to date. Thank you for a very enjoyable Easter break - back soon!."
