Teaching a budding young chef to make Normandy apple tart
Thank you Thomas for a relaxing week. The barn was an excellent base for exploring the area – Disneyland was a great hit, we enjoyed the local walks too.
January
Lovely relaxing break, just what we needed thank you.

We came for a break and change from the tread-mill and got it! Friendly and co-operative host Thomas, whose company we enjoyed greatly. No longer will be always ‘bomb it’ straight down to the Med. Plenty to see and important history to absorb.

Our last-minute find has been a terrific one! Beautiful room, wonderful host, fantastic food. Our little girl has also loved it, we hope to be back again and will certainly recommend you!

This is a wonderful, magical spot. Thank you for your hospitality.

What a fantastic place! We’ve all had a wonderful week – the Normandy apple tart, cidre and cheese set the tone beautifully. Your hospitality, warmth and suggestions were spot on! Many thanks, Thomas.

A happy and enjoyable week exploring the lovely Normandy countryside and returning each evening to this charming house and ‘log fire’. T’was nice to meet Thomas our friendly and helpful host. Will be sure to recommend to lots of friends! Thanks for a great time!

Great to be back again – Thomas in fine form as usual. Always a pleasure to be here.

The pool and beds were the best and Thomas was very nice. We would recommend this place. Thomas is a very very very good cook. His chocolate mousse is the best we’ve ever tasted.

We have had another excellent stay. Our gourmet meal was wonderful – great catering on Thomas’s part – having to cater for 1 pregnant non-red-meat eating guest! A second trip without the distraction of our 3 year old – would recommend St Valery sur Somme. Many thanks Thomas.

We have had a fantastic stay, have felt right at home and what a home! A lovely atmosphere and a beautiful location, perfect for exploring places such as Rouen and Amiens. But of course what really makes this place so special is its owner, Thomas (and of course Julian!), who gives this place its life and soul. Thanks for the BBQ and all your help and kindness. We’ll be back. We’ll be spreading the word back home!

Perfect for our long weekend break. Only complaint: too short!

Thank you again, the barn never disappoints. We hope to return again in the future.

The barn was comfortable and provided beautiful views, and a very peaceful atmosphere. Thomas was very welcoming and helpful. There is a good sandy beach at Fort Mahon, worth the drive. We enjoyed the lovely countryside and hope to return again.
