Gite les étangs de la Barette

My daughter & I stayed in the gite between 9th - 13th July.

The owners, Pascal & Sandra were very welcoming and told us to call them if we needed anything whilst we were there.

The gite is very clean, beautifully furnished & spacious.

The walls display some stunning art work painted by Sandra herself. The kitchen is well equipped with a large fridge/freezer, washing machine, microwave and a large refectory table.

The wifi access was very good and there is a TV & DVD player.

There is a very powerful shower (but no bath) downstairs & a separate toilet.

There are no toilet facilities upstairs and the stairs are quite narrow & steep. Might not suit people with limited mobility.

The garden is secluded and well maintained with stunning views over les Etangs de la Barette.

Everything is included in the price....... towels, sheets and cleaning.

Great value for money.

It was an excellent base for visiting the Somme battlefields, cemeteries & WW1 sites as well as being close to the towns of Amiens, Albert & Arras.

I would certainly recommend this gite if you are visiting this area.

Het ruime prachtig ingerichte vakantiehuis heeft een een uniek uitzicht. We zouden er graag de ganse zomer doorbrengen !. De eigenaars zijn super vriendelijk en behulpzaam. We kunnen dit huis zeker aanbevelen ! Het huis is ook zeer netjes onderhouden. Het huis voldoet ook aan de beschrijving volgens de site ! bedankt voor deze vakantie !! We komen zeker terug !

Our family stayed in the gite between 28 May – 4 June. The owners were delightful and generous, and gave us a lovely welcome, insisting we call them if we needed anything, large or small. The weather was awful so we were unable to make use of the outdoor areas and facilities – other than gazing at the lovely “etangs de la barette” through the windows and French doors - but the gite was great: it was very clean and well-equipped with plenty of space. The beds were of a good quality and there was some nice furniture, much of it reclaimed. There’s a washing machine and microwave (but no dishwasher) and the wifi access was very useful. There’s no bath if that is important to you (though there is a very powerful shower) and some steep steps if mobility is a problem. But we loved place, with the great welcome and the fact that everything is included in the price – too many times there are add-ons for “extras” like towels, sheets and cleaning. It proved to be a great location for exploring the Somme and Baie de Somme, and for experience the best of France (apart from the weather!) for a week.

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.
