From Owners Direct
La Grange is a delightfully spacious house with a well equipped kitchen, a lovely garden to relax in and a supply of books and DVDs. There's plenty of room for adults and children. The house is very close to the Avenue Verte for walks and cycling, and just up the road from the village shop at St Vaast which sells croissants, fresh bread, home-cooked meals and much more. There are plenty of good restaurants in the villages round about for eating out, and excellent supermarkets within easy driving distance. This was our second stay in Maintru. We were able to revisit the marvellous Gertrude Jekyll garden at Varengeville-sur-Mer, in brilliant sunshine this time after previously sloshing around the rose and rhododendron gardens in the rain. Le Bois des Moutiers is one of the many delights of this Seine-Maritime region. But there's so much more... This is Flaubert country - the little town of Ry with its Galerie Bovary Musee d'Automates is a revelation. There are typical French seaside towns, the port of Dieppe, walks in the Foret d'Eawy (a huge area of beech trees situated between the rivers Varenne and Bethune), châteaux with helpful tours, and, a little more distant: the Bayeux Tapestry to the West, Monet's Garden at Giverny to the East, and Rouen to the South. It's a great place to stay with much to return for on subsequent visits. (Linda and Mike, June 2014)
Set in a charming area of France, this spacious house and grounds is perfect for visiting local towns, forests and coast or, just put your feet up and enjoy the quiet. Benefits from large separate kitchen. Toilets on both floors. Clean. Spacious grounds for dog (or children). No TV, not a problem for us. If you are keen cyclists the Avenue Verte is ideal and virtually on the doorstep. Shops just a short drive away. Large supermarkets and English speaking vet at Neufchatel en Bray. Local cheese recommended. (J+M, May 2014)
We stayed at La Grange for a week in May with our 2 young children (16 months and 3) and dog. We had a fantastic time, the house is very clean, well equipped and very comfortable. The enclosed garden is amazing and it was great to be able to turf the kids and dog out and know they would be completely safe as the garden is completely enclosed. The house is just a couple of minutes from the Avenue Verte, and we made good use of our bicycles, our 3 year old even learnt to ride without her stabilisers whilst we were there. Colin the owner was around and he made us feel very welcome. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend a stay, in fact we're going again next year for 2 weeks! (KMcD, July 2014)
From Holiday Lettings
It was a really nice holiday a very nice place to stay. It was really good to be able to drive though the gates and relax we would holiday here again. (Sue, Manchester. October 2015)
I organised this trip for a group of my friends over the Easter long weekend and we weren't disappointed. Maintru is a beautiful little hamlet with stunning scenery, perfect for those who like to get out and about for a walk, run or cycle. We are a pretty active bunch so La Grange was perfect, the grounds are huge so we could throw the rugby ball around, play badminton, croquet and bunch of other games - the games, bikes etc were all provided with the property. We also like a bit of downtime and La Grange is stocked with books, boardgames & DVD's and has a really well-stocked kitchen in terms of utensils, pots and pans etc - we did a lot of cooking and baking. It wasn't cold but the boys had a lot of fun stoking the fire and the beds and couches were all extremely comfortable. Water pressure in the showers was excellent too and the bed linen and towels were all provided. We were able to drive to Dieppe with ease, and Monet's gardens in Giverney for a really nice day trip which I'd highly recommend. I would especially recommend La Grange to families as there's loads to keep kids entertained and also to groups of friends in their late 20s/early 30s who can both enjoy and respect the property as it's a beautifully maintained 17th century farmhouse on well-kept grounds.
