About this property

Le Bleuet-A Gite in the Beautiful Normandy Countryside for Families and Couples

Our gites are located in a converted barn adjacent to our home; with a large lawned area to the front and a fully-enclosed garden to the rear there is plenty of room to relax in the Normandy sunshine. Le Bleuet gite comfortably accommodates up to six guests in three bedrooms, as can Le Coquelicot (HomeAway reference 1783565) gite. Our gites can be booked together for larger parties.

Le Bleuet was reappointed in 2021. Upstairs, bedroom one has a comfortable king-size bed, with a good-sized wardrobe and a chest of drawers; bedroom two is similarly furnished but has a double bed; bedroom three is a twin bedded room with a small chest of drawers, a shelving unit and a hanging rail for clothes. This room is best suited for children. All three rooms are bright and airy, and have small electric radiators for those chillier nights. Bedrooms one and two are located at the front of the property and bedroom three at the rear. There is a spacious shower room on this floor with ample storage for all your toiletries.

Downstairs is a large l-shaped open plan living-area with a sofa and three armchairs, a dining table seating six, and a well-appointed kitchen with a dishwasher and a washing-machine, a full size cooker, and an under-counter fridge with a small freezer compartment. There is a tv in the lounge area with the full-range of UK and French channels and a dvd player (we are more than happy for guests to browse through our dvd collection if they wish), as well as well-stocked bookcases with a good variety of novels to suit most tastes, and a selection of games.

At the rear of the property is a large garden; each gite having its own patio area with a garden table and chairs, and a barbecue. Judicious planting helps to screen the two patios for added privacy. The remainder of the garden is shared by each gite, and has a swing set for the under 12s, a large grassy area for outdoor games, and our popular above-ground pool with its own seating area. The pool is unheated, and whilst not large, it does provide an opportunity for a cooling dip in the summer months. The pool is available from June through to August and outside of those times at the owners' discretion. Use of the pool is strictly limited to those guests staying in our gites. The rear garden is fully enclosed, and whilst we request that all children are supervised in the pool and the pool area at all times, the garden itself is secure.

In the unconverted section of the barn is an upstairs games room with table tennis, darts and a variety of outdoor games. This room is used by guests from both gites.

At the front of the property is a parking area for up to four cars in total and is used by guests in both gites and a further garden area. This is mainly laid to lawn but has a number of seating areas (a hammock, garden swing, and picnic benches). The lawn is ideal for badminton or even croquet, but this is a lovely spot in which to simply sit and while away the hours! Each gite has a small table and chairs outside the front door with potted plants; and ideal spot to catch the late evening sun.

The gites sit well back from the road, which is mostly used by the local farmers, making La Maison Sans Soucis a peaceful place to stay.

Please note that guests aged over 18 are required to pay a local visitors tax (taxe de sejour) which is currently set at 85 cents per person per night.

If you are travelling in more than two cars please can you let us know in advance so that we can arrange for additional parking

Très bon week-end
Nous avons passé un bon Week-end dans le gîte. Nous étions 6, 4 adultes et 2 enfants. Il est top. Beau jardin avec terrasse et piscine. L'intérieur du gîte est très propre, pratique car possède four, lave linge, lave vaisselle, machine à café. Rien à redire. Les propriétaires sont très sympa. Je recommande.

Parfait !
Maison géniale, parfaitement et joliment équipée. Très grand jardin bien entretenu. Pleins de jeux de sociétés, livres et jeux d’extérieur sur place. Des hôtes adorables qui ont mis à notre disposition tout l’équipement nécessaire pour deux enfants de 1 an. Toutes les activités et visites à faire aux alentours sont soigneusement renseignées dans un petit classeur à disposition dans le gîte. Nous reviendrons avec plaisir !

About the host

Host profile image
For a number of years David and I have dreamed of owning a property in France, then in 2011 our dream became a reality. I moved here in the summer of 2012 on my own whilst David continued working in the UK as an electrician. Finally, David moved here to join me in March 2014. Our love affair with France continued and in May 2015 we were married in a lovely ceremony at the Mairie followed by a reception in our garden surrounded by family and friends. Since then we have become involved with our village Comite de Salle de Fetes and help to organise our annual Apero Concert and Mechoui. France has become our home and we look forward to sharing our little corner with you.

Why they chose this property

Our search for a home in France began in 2008 in the Aude region. We both love the area around Carcassonne and were looking for a holiday home that could become a permament home once we retired. The more we searched the more we realised that what we wanted was to live in France now but we quickly realised that would not be possible in the Aude. We thought long and hard about where we could put down roots and decided that Normandy with its ease of access to the UK would be ideal. I cannot remember how many properties we looked at, but we had decided that we would come over for one last weekend to check out a property we had seen on a previous visit and hopefully make an offer. Our estate agent suggested we look at one more place, so we saw the first house in the morning and arranged to see the second property in the afternoon. We made the decision that unless the final place was amazing we would offer on the first. Well, we checked out the first place, decided it could work for us but that we would wait before making an offer. We cheekily drove through Le Guislain and found what we thought was the second house before our official visit in the afternoon. I remember looking down the drive and thinking 'if this is it tI want it'! To cut a long story short...it was the one. We made an offer that evening, which was accepted the following day. Six weeks later the house was ours. Why did we choose this one? The gites were already up and running although they did need some work to smarten them up. The house needed more work (and still needs it), but we fell in love wth the fireplaces. Most importantly, it felt right and it felt like home.
