Offranville is a beautiful village. With the house just a short walk to the supermarket which has everything you need, as well as its own Michelin star restaurant. Dieppe is only a ten minute drive with fantastic seafood restaurants. The house itself was impeccably clean. The bed comfy, the shower excellent, with great facilities such as washing machine, dryer and dishwasher. Surrounding the property is the most wonderfully relaxing gardens with an everyday visit from the neighbour, an inquisitive donkey who would see what we were up to. Our hosts were welcoming and friendly. This holiday has kick started our adventures for more times in France to come!
Our family of 4 (2 teenagers) stayed for a week at this beautiful dovecote in Offranville. We thoroughly enjoyed the experience. The house has everything you could need. With heated floors on the ground floor and a fireplace, the evenings where very cozy. The gardens around the house are a credit to the owners as they’ve put a lot of time and care into them. The dovecote is at the edge of town but close enough to the bakery and shops that we walked there each day for fresh croissants. We visited a few places on the Alabaster Coast but our favorite was Veules-Les-Roses. We also visited Rouen which was around 45 minutes drive away and would recommend a day in this beautiful city. All in all, a wonderful place to stay and spend a week or two exploring the Normandy coast.

An absolute gem!!!
This property delivers everything it says and more. The building has been sympathetically restored and it has everything you could possibly need for a comfortable stay. We spent a week here enjoying the countryside but were able to walk / cycle (bikes provided for your use) to the bakers, supermarket and local eateries. Most days we ate at least one meal outside, the garden is private and is your own place to relax. There are numerous excellent restaurants within 10 minutes drive and the historic town of Dieppe is only 20 minutes away. We are a family of 4, two girls, 12 and 13, they loved it too, so much so they have asked if we can go back again. In an age where children are so hard to please I think this speaks volumes. Don’t take our word for it book your holiday now you won’t be disappointed. We will be returning.

Beautiful Dovecote
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this beautiful dovecote, set in lovely, well maintained gardens, it was very well equipped and clean throughout. The owners were very welcoming and obliging. Positioned well to explore the Normandy coastline, with good restaurants. Also walking distance to local shops and supermarket. Our family of four would thoroughly recommend. Thank you for a lovely holiday.
Mein Mann und ich haben den Aufenthalt in der Gite Colombier genossen. Wir wurden von Yves und seiner Frau, die nebenan wohnen, nett empfangen und hätten bei Fragen oder Problemen jederzeit bei ihnen Klingeln können.
Das Haus ist liebevoll eingerichtet. Es fehlt an nichts. Die Küche ist gut ausgestattet. Wir haben lediglich ein Austernmesser vermisst. Im Bad lagen Handtücher bereit und auch Bettwäsche mussten wir nicht mitbringen.
Wer im nahgelegenen Restaurant Le Colombier essen möchte, sollte frühzeitig reservieren. Wir haben es eine Woche vorher versucht und da war das Restaurant, das einen Michelin-Stern hat, bereits ausgebucht.
Auf der Wiese nebenan residiert ein Esel names Tintin, der weiß, dass er von den Gästen mit Karotten verwöhnt wird und diese auch einfordert. Also beim Einkauf an Karotten denken.
Wir hatten eine schöne Zeit in Offranville und überlegen, wieder zu kommen.
