Very enjoyable!
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!

Wonderful stay
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 Idyllic Stay in Normandy
We just spent a delightful 2 weeks in the lovely dovecote and gardens of M. and Mme. Bouquet. They were the perfect hosts, even providing some food provisions upon our arrival after the overnight flight from the US and drive from CDG airport. The dovecote has been beautifully restored and everything is supplied that you could need for housekeeping. To top it off, there is a winsome donkey named Tintin who comes by the dovecote daily for his carrot treat. The town of Offranville is charming and has all the essential shops including a Carrefour supermarket. And there is a Michelin star restaurant, Le Colombier, that is just a short walk down the lane from the dovecote! (Reserve early). You can also get to the restaurants in Dieppe Centre in only 15 - 20 minutes. There is plenty to see and do on the Alabaster coast and Pays de Caux. In fact, we didn't get it all done in 2 weeks so we will be coming back to stay at the dovecote again.

Very comfortable as well as charming
The dovecote is as good as its pictures which is saying a lot. Really enjoyed the fireplace and the resident donkey. Totally comfortable, everything one needs. Hosts and Offranville delightful.

Wonderful!
A delightful place to stay--beautiful, and tended to with loving care by wonderful owners. Relaxing and private but also close to many lovely places in Normandy. We can't wait to return.

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.

Spectacular
As an Architect I selected the Le Colombier because I have a fondness for the adaptive reuse of historic structures. Yves and Michele has done a wonderful job as they repurposed this dovecote into a truly spectacular cottage. It has everything necessary for an enjoyable experience. It blends beautifully with the adjacent pond and flower gardens and just exudes serenity. The Town of Offranville has anything you need from a complete market to an excellent restaurant also named Le Colombier. It serves as a good base for exploring Normandy especially if you have a car at your disposal and are not afraid to drive for and hour and a half to two hours. Yves and Michele made us feel right at home and are warm and friendly hosts. They take obvious and well-deserved pride in their accomplishment.

Ungewöhnliches und schönes Ferienhaus
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.

Alles bestens
Wir haben eine sehr schöne Woche in einer besonderen Wohnung verbracht. Das ehemalige Taubenhaus ist von Yves fachlich hervorragend zur dreietagigen Wohnung umgebaut worden. Dabei wurde die alte Bausubstanz erhalten. Die Einrichtung ist komplett und sehr geschmackvoll. Die Betten sind bequem. Alles ist sehr sauber und sehr gepflegt. Das Vermieterpaar ist total nett und sehr diskret. Die direkte Umgebung des Taubenturms besteht aus einem parkähnlichen Garten, den man benutzen darf. Auf der Weide direkt nebenan steht Tintin, der Esel zum Verlieben. In Offranville gibt es alles, was man braucht, drei Bäckereien, einen Supermarkt mit Tankstelle, Döner- und Pizza und ein sehr empfehlenswertes Sternerestaurant. Mit dem Fahrrad kann man u.a. eine autofreie schöne ca. 6 km lange Strecke nach Dieppe fahren. Für uns eine rundum schöne Zeit. Danke an Michèlle und Yves!

Schöner Familienurlaub
Der schön renovierte Turm bietet alles was man als Familie benötigt. Wir waren zu viert unterwegs (2 Erw. + 2 Kinder), und haben eigentlich nichts vermisst. Die Lage ist ruhig in einer Kleinstadt, Bäcker und Einkaufsmöglichkeit in 5min zu Fuß erreichbar. Zum Meer ca. 10min mit dem Auto. Die Vermieter waren sehr nett und wir haben uns trotz unserer schlechten Französischkenntnisse verständigen können. Perfekter Ort für einen erholsamen Urlaub.
