Many thanks Thomas for your wonderful hospitality. We’ve had a marvellous, relaxing and fattening few days! We look forward to returning with friends and trying out the beautiful barn. Although it looks beautiful in the snow, hope Basse Copette will be a bit warmer for our next visit. Thanks again.

Where does an Englishman learn to cook Fench food like that?! Fantastic!! One one problem with the stay – it was too short! It was a super idea to take the boys to the archaeological park, Samara, to run off some steam. I am sure we will be back.

What a fantastic find! A beautiful corner of France, very relaxing and a lovely host. The barn is stunning and comfortably furnished, the lounge is great with a roaring fire. Thomas, thank yo for the apple tart, bread and local cheese, you are very thoughtful. We would love to come back for longer and explore more of the local area.

We hadn’t expected 6″ of snow, but the children has a good time playing in it! Loved the barn and great once we got a roaring fire going! Lovely area, lots to do and see. Great beaches at Fort Mahon. Recommend Parc Asterix as a change from Disney. Many thanks.

The barn is excellent as is the area. Cannot say enough about Thomas, your wish is his command. Great bloke. Many thanks.

The barn is an excellent place to stay, a nice find with a pleasant feel and atmosphere. The children loved the fire place and the warmth it gave to the evenings prior to going to bed. A big thank you to Thomas on his greeting and welcome, advice and chats. Had a great time hope to be back, see you again mate!

Während unserer pfingstferien haben wir einige schöne taje in Basse Copette verbracht. Die sehr ruhige laye bildete eines wohltunden kontrast zur hektik der gross städte und der küstenoste. Wir fühlten uns, nachdem Thomas uns sehr herzlich mit apfelkuchen und cidre empfangen hatte, in dieser geschmack-voll eingerichleten “grange” sofort wie zuhause. Thank you for a nice stay.

Thanks Thomas for helping us out with everything and making an amazing tart on top of that. Our stay in the French countryside and Basse Copette, was everything we could have dreamed of, beautiful, relaxing and invigorating. The house was incredible along with the views.
May

A fantastic hearty meal awaited us after a very long day travelling, which was most welcome! And after a very comfy nights sleep we were woken by peace, tranquillity and birdsong! Many thanks for a lovely stop over.

Dear Thomas, well we had a lovely lovely time. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us. We have been to many hotels and B&Bs in our time, but never before have we been made to feel so welcome. From the minute we arrived and sat down to a pot of tea and apple tart, we have been very spoilt. Thomas, you are a superb host and you even like carry on films – what a great guy. Thanks again.
May

We’ve all loved staying here and the pool was nice! We love looking down on the view and I bet our nan and nannee would love to paint it. Your cooking at the barbeque was excellent. When we were splashing we were having a war! We injoid playing football. The beds were cumfy. Many thanks again Thomas, its been great!!!
May

What a wonderful place you have! We all enjoyed sitting by the fire at night in our cozy lounge. We were amazed at the spectacular dinner you presented on Wednesday. We felt very welcome! The pool was great and kept me and my brother entertained. You have been a fabulous host and we are sad to leave. Many thanks Thomas for everything, we’ll be back for more!
May

Thomas thank you again for your wonderful hospitality. This was our second visit and everything as good as the first. Thank you for the wonderful food, especially the pear dessert! Keep doing what you are doing because it is perfect.

Thomas, we have all had a fantastic time and leave here feeling refreshed and relaxed. You have been a great host and we enjoyed the 2 meals we had (and the wine). The kids had a great time playing in your garden and watching you fish their ball out of the pool.

Somewhere over the rainbow lies Basse Copette, and here dreams really do come true, and its all down to Thomas. What can we say. Came here last year for two days, and back this year for a week. I wish there were more people like Thomas in this world, it would be a much nicer place. He really is the perfect host, and a real gentleman.
June

Thank you Thomas for as memorable stay and a wonderful evening at Amiens Cathedral. We could stay here forever!
June

Thank you so much Thomas for a wonderful 1st week of our holiday. The accommodation is beautiful, the views spectacular. We ordered the duck – highly recommend it to anyone … as everyone else has said! This place is perfect for young children too – snail and bear hunting a particular favourite for us. It has also been a pleasure to meet some one as kind and helpful as Thomas – it really made our holiday. Will be back to find more bears next year!
June

Now that we have to leave we feel sad. We could stay longer and longer and longer … We loved the atmosphere you created here, we loved croissants, mousse-au-chocolat and Calvados. And the pool of course. Thank you very much!!!
July

A beautiful place which we all enjoyed. The gite was excellent, with everything we needed. The beds were fantastic we all slept very well. The views are spectacular around the gite and the peace and quiet was a welcome break.
July

A really lovely and relaxing holiday. The Farmhouse is excellent accommodation and we visited all the places we had thought of going to. The old towns of Amiens and Rouen are worth a visit, Giverny was well worth it and Paris good but very hot – we cooled down with a boat ride! All the countryside is beautiful and we saw a deer on an evening walk through the cornfield.
July

A beautiful house, and countryside. A very relaxing week. Thank you very much.
July

La Ferme is just the right place for relaxing – very peaceful. Beds extremely comfortable. Amiens was beautiful and good for cycling. Thank you!
August

Enjoyed our stay. We managed to see and do everything we wanted to. Places we enjoyed: Le Treport, Amiens Cathedral and Hortillonnages (canal boat-ride), Rambures Chateau. Comfortable accommodation, lots of fun playing games in the evening and spending time in the pool. Great meal provided on our first evening.
