The Experience

Sheep graze behind this old bergerie in the grounds of your hosts’ manor house. Cook al fresco in a rustic, open kitchen on the covered terrace; enjoy breakfast, dinner or sharing platters here overlooking the beautiful garden with its huge linden trees – a very special treat.

The suite is light, lofty and beamed; the little Bergère will bring you close to nature – leave the top part of the stable door open and watch the stars come out one by one. On chilly days light the wood-burning stove and plan your next adventures.

Stroll through the garden and orchard to find bee hives, chicken and sheep. Hike through gentle, rolling countryside with munching cows and donkeys. Hop in the car for farmers’ markets, superb old churches and a magnificent beach at Trouville.

Reviews

Tim, London

My wife and I stayed with Ruud and Hetty in September last year. They are both charming and nothing was too much trouble. We saw a lot of Ruud especially when he brought us breakfast which was delicious.It came with fruit, croissants, coffee, etc etc . He's seen a lot of life and has a great sense of humour. They also have a robotic electric mower who is earnest in his work and goes about it quietly and is no trouble to anyone. He is not a linguist! PS The location is stunning!


Francesca, Lewes

We stayed at Bergerie de la Moutonniere for 3 nights. It is a delightful, peaceful and unique find. It is a lovely spot to explore this tranquil part of Normandy and the coastal towns. Try Hetty's ice cream with home made prunes in Armagnac, amazing!


Carolyn and Steve, Twickenham

An absolutely delightful stay! Hetty and Ruud are the consummate hosts; helpful with their suggestions but not intrusive. We had the whole property to ourselves and the atmosphere of la Bergerie is total bliss. What could be better than waking up to a cacophony of bird song and some of Ruud and Hetty's delicious apple juice? We self catered and loved the outdoor kitchen and one evening used the barbecue. A heavenly place to stay with lots to do in the region - highly recommended!


Elaine, Heswall Wirral

A wonderful place to spend an autumn week - a tranquil haven in beautiful grounds with generous, amiable hosts Hetty and Ruud. Unique accommodation with every comfort; the wood-burning stove particularly welcome for the chillier evenings. Nothing is too much trouble for the hosts, and we hope to return in the better weather.


Steve & Isa, Suffolk

We stayed with Hetty & Ruud twice in last year. Once mid December 2021 and the other in August 2022. Superb hosts from welcome to departure, as well as when booking. Food super and delivered to the room. Huge garden/land for dogs to exercise. Very comfy and well furnished rooms. We will stay there again and have recommended to others.


Location

The neighbourhood

It's very rural here so the walking is easy with plenty of animals to spot and birds to watch. Just a short drive away is a nice village called Cormeilles which has very good restaurants and a lively market on Friday mornings. In the summer there are farmers' markets on Sundays with music and dancing.

Local points of interest from Rudolf Walthaus

  • Trouville with a wonderful sandy beach, where you can eat the freshest seafood you've ever tasted. Deauville with every morning a lively market or visit the Hippodrome for a horse race or a polo match.
  • If you like castles, you'll love Château du Champ de Bataile, 17th century. Magnificent gardens with fountains and topiaries. Have a high tea there. Combine this with the Harcourt Castle and Arboretum.The picturesque Benedictine Abbey in Le Bec-Hellouin.
  • A picturesque harbor, a maze of leafy, cobbled streets and authentic timber-framed houses. Around kunchtime; head to the Vieux Bassin and visit the iconic Église Sainte-Catherine. Easy to see why the Impressionists fell in love with Honfleur.
  • There are many must see locations in Normandy, such as the landing beaches at Arromanches and Omaha. The Memorial in Caen and the Bayeux tapestry is also well worth a visit. The Bergerie is only 10 minutes from a beautiful Zoo.
  • Visit Giverny with the house and gardens of Monet. Such a lovely place! Rouen, less then one hour from the Bergerie. The town of Jeanne d'Arc and the restored Cathédrale de Nôtre-Dame which is one of the best known cathédrales in France.
  • From the Bergerie to the Eiffel Tower is only 160km... or relax and unwind on the wooden sun beds in the garden of the Bergerie. We want to ensure you have a wonderful time with us, so please contact us with any questions you may have.

Introducing

Rudolf Walthaus

Rudolf and Hetty bought this place, along with nearly three hectares, as a family holiday home many years ago. They restored the house meticulously and created the wonderful garden from scratch, then decided to live here permanently. They have never regretted it and love sharing their little slice of rural bliss with guests.
