Ever thought about going abroad for a short Holiday ?

We did and we picked a Normandy Cottage neighbouring the port of Dieppe in France and booking a week, we were fortunate in that we knew a comrade in Chichester that told us of a capital Normandy Cottage for vacation and Short Breaks.

Language was not a problem, although my French was a bit rusty my wife could talk french and our 4 kids could speak a little, we have often popped across the ferry for one day trips to France to shop and visit some special places like the Eiffel Tower. Most places it is a bit hard to book a for a large family of 6, but in this Normandy Cottage for vacation and Short Breaks there is enough space for 6 people with its 3 bedrooms and a safe enclosed garden for young children.

Currency was easy enough we exchanged enough money in our bank but as we were only 4 miles from the port of Dieppe, we would be able to exchange more in the nearby bank if need be. Travel to the Normandy Cottage for our holiday and a well deserved time off 1st there was a trip to Newhaven, then a 4 hour ferry ride from Newhaven to the port of Dieppe. From Dieppe it was a 4 mile excursion to our registered Normandy Cottage where we would be enjoying a weeks vacation in our registered Normandy Cottage. This is a family house which is let on an occasional basis. The facilities are suitable but not luxurious.

Simple facilities and a simple price at £250 per week or £40 per night for the use of the house and this will comprise firewood, electricity and hot water all year round. No central heating but there is a substantial fireplace in the kitchen/dining room, a wood stove in the sitting room, an electric cooker, and a washing machine. meals was not a factor as the shops were within very easy walking distance including 2 bakers almost next door and a market every Friday. There's 3 old bikes and a lockable space if you want to bring your own. There is also horse riding and crazy golf in the city. There is also a superb beach about 4 miles away, a beech forest, cycle routes such as the Avenue Verte nearby and Rouen about 40 minutes away by car. Dieppe is the nearest beach to Paris, entertaining all year round.

Just in case you have no car or decide to travel other wise, the Transmanche Ferry from Newhaven, England conveys cars and foot passengers across the English Channel in about 4 hours. Arrive by train from Rouen in about 40minutes or Paris in almost 2 hours. The town also has a small aerodrome, situated in Saint-Aubin which is about 2 miles away. So if you ever thought about going abroad for a {Holiday|vacation|time off time off I would thoroughly suggest it, the week flew by as we planned quite a lot, we did not do half the things we had planned and had to cut some of our events out, but we never the less enjoyed ourselves. Next time I am booking 2 or 3 weeks vacation to our booked Normandy Cottage.
