Les Granges du Bout de la Ville

Delightful self-catering cottages in tranquil location

A great choice if you are looking to get away from it all are these delightful half-timbered cottages on the road leading into Montville, close to Rouen yet surrounded by forest and open fields. Owned by Jérôme and Dominique of the Val au Cesne, Les Granges, once part of a mill, comprises eight attractively rustic terraced cottages, each with one bedroom (the eighth cottage has two bedrooms), bathroom, and a living room with kitchen corner fitted with fridge, microwave and hob. Essentials for breakfast are provided, and bread and pastries are delivered daily free of charge. In the evening cook for yourselves or dine at one of the local restaurants, all of which are just a few minutes' drive from Les Granges (pay locally).

• coastal strolls (a long-distance GR footpath leads along the coast between the Somme estuary and Etretat)
• the cliffs at Etretat, particularly dramatic on blustery days
• a tour around the Bénédictine distillery at Fécamp
• the coastal town of St Valéry-en-Caux, with its attractive old quarter
• Normandy's many châteaux, including the Château de Cany-Barville
• scenic drives past apple orchards, half-timbered villages and rolling fields so typical of Normandy
