Week in a Gite

Had a great week in the gite. Views of the lakes are wonderful. Downstairs is a great space as are the rooms upstairs. The stairs are every bit as steep as we were advised. Parking and entry very secure and walks along the canal in the autumn sun were very pleasant. Great location for visits to surrounding towns (Amiens) and villages .

Pascal and Sandra were the perfect hosts. They were available if necessary but not obtrusive. The gite was as described and the views and setting were better than the pictures. We would not hesitate to revisit the gite and area again. David &Julie

Wonderful family stay

Amazing location with great views. Pascal and Sandra couldn't have been more helpful and welcoming. Wonderful hosts. The house was a little tricky with small children with regard to the stairs, but the house was well provided for with bath, cot etc and of course visiting the goats and chickens everyday. We made good use of the bikes and Corbie is only a matter of minutes away.

Relaxing and peaceful

We spent a relaxing week at the gite. It is comfortable and very clean. The bedrooms are huge with plenty of storage space as there are also dressing rooms attached to each bedroom. The outside space is great with fabulous views! The only downside is that the stairs are extremely steep and the bathroom and toilet are downstairs - though not a major problem for us - it may be for some people. The hosts Pascal and Sandra are lovely - thanks for the chilled wine!! Overall a fabulous holiday!!

Enjoyable stay at Corbie

The gite is very well equipped, spacious, stylishly furnished and decorated and spotlessly clean. The only downside for us was the staircase which was steep and awkward and the shower room and w.c. are downstairs. Pascal and Sandra are excellent hosts - very kind, helpful and welcoming. The parking is convenient and secure, the garden very pleasant to sit in and the views over the water lovely.

Beautiful property in a beautiful location

We were made very welcome by Sandra and Pascal who were friendly and helpful throughout our stay. The gite is amazing - clean and well equipped with outstanding views across the ponds of the Somme river. Great area for exploring the battlefield. Only concern was the stairs which were steep and difficult to come down. And a kettle would have been welcome to make tea. Would certainly return. Many thanks.

Beautiful property, beautiful hosts, beautiful scenery, beautiful weather.

Really enjoyed a week of walking, cycling and visiting the WWI memorial sites. The property itself is very much part of the local heritage and history and is featured in the tourist information in the area. Well appointed and full of Sandra's beautiful artwork the property was very comfortable. Pascal and Sandra were perfect hosts and we were able to make good use of the bicycles along the canal. Close to the very pretty town of Corbie which had 2 supermarkets and a swimming pool. The poppies were in full bloom as we travelled through the picturesque villages in the surrounding area which made it all the more poignant in this Somme region. Glorious!

The property is set in a picturesque and tranquil location

As soon as we arrived, we were welcomed by Pascal and Sandra who own the property which is basic but adequate. They were really accommodating and although their English is not 100%, there was still a common understanding throughout our stay. The Gite is located on a quiet road where you can sit outside with a bbq and enjoy the view of the lake. The location is perfect for tourists to visit memorials and museums of the war. The only downsides are the stairs are quite steep to get upstairs to the bedrooms. The toilet and the shower are located away from the bedrooms downstairs and the shower started to smell towards the end of our visit. Apart from that. Very enjoyable stay.

An absolute gem of a Gite!

This Gite has everything the experienced (and inexperienced) traveller requires. At just over 1100sqft, with 2 good sized bedrooms (and a dressing room attached to each), an open-plan kitchen with a table to die for and a nice cozy 'lounge' just off the the kitchen, this was literally a home from home. Throughout the thoroughly redecorated gite, Sandra LeClercq's exquisite pieces of art are hung tastefully. Not a full-time painter, her works took our collective breath away. Outside, is the lake you see in the photos. It was literally a stone's throw away and I took delight in having coffee and breakfast on the well-tended table in the bar-b-que area, whilst coots, ducks and other water fowl honked and hooted to eachother. The Etangs was closed to public access whilst we were there, but I sincerely hope that it is when we're able to next visit. Regardless, it made for a stunning and tranquil backdrop. The goats and chickens were an added bonus, and we all took the chance to name them, then stroke the goats (Billy, the unoriginally-named Billygoat) was a bit of a stinker, but he was such a character it was easy to look past that. Pascal and Sandra were the consummate hosts, putting up with my schoolboy French, and always ready with a smile and a wave when we passed. From the greeting we received upon arrival, through to au revoir as we said our goodbyes, they couldn't do enough for us, including a plethora of leaflets for local areas of interest aswell as a booklet of vouchers to attractions. Corbie is a delightful town with a lot of history and, if you're interested in the Great War, is perfectly situated for every single battle site of the Somme, something which I took great advantage of. There is a market on Friday, which is predominantly clothes and food, including some amazing local honey. There aren't a lot of things for kids to do locally, but Amiens and Albert are both very close, and the coast is only an hour-and-half away if you're happy to take one of the toll roads. It should be borne in mind that Sunday opening hours apply, and restaurants and eateries tend not to open for the full day, so if you're thinking about having meal out, it's worth checking the times on any websites they might have. I truly loved my stay in that gite, and would love to return again for more research, writing, and chilling out by the lake. We shall also do our best to improve our French so that we can have a proper natter with Pascal and Sandra.

Gîte de La barrette Corbie

Wir hatten eine sehr schöne Zeit an diesem zauberhaften Ort. Der Empfang durch die Vermieter war außerordentlich freundlich und sie waren die ganze Zeit über sehr hilfsbereit. Es war sehr angenehm, einen eigenen Parkplatz auf dem Grundstück zu haben, und im Ferienhaus funktionierten alle Einrichtungen gut. Besonders beeindruckend war der schöne Ausblick vom Wohnzimmer auf die Teiche. Es gab herrliche Aussichten auf die Morgenröte und den aufgehenden Mond oder auch die Nebel über dem Wasser. Eine nette Nachbarschaft waren die Ziegen und Hühner. Vom Belvedere aus hat man eine herrliche Aussicht auf die umgebende Landschaft. Corbie ist eine nette, beliebte Kleinstadt mit guten Einkaufsmöglichkeiten. Uns hat die Kathedrale in Amiens und auch der zoologische Park dort sehr gut gefallen. Vom Haus aus kann man schöne Spaziergänge machen und von Faux aus am Kanal entlang. Außerdem ist es gut möglich, in einer Stunde zur Küste (Ault) und zusammen Bucht zu gelangen. Alles in allem war es ein toller Urlaub!
