Lovely chateau, beautiful area.

Beautiful property on stunning grounds. The host was super communicative and helpful in the lead up and during our stay. It was clearly a lived-in property, with lots of personal trinkets and items about the house which did make me a little nervous with small children. It also meant in some rooms there was nowhere to place one’s clothes. The property is old and so I wouldn’t recommend with very young children (our youngest was 3) due to irregular steps and stairs in the property (husband fell in the kitchen due to irregular stairs and fractured wrist). The kitchen is small for the property size and there was nowhere for all of us to sit together (there were 10 of us) but we easily made do and fed the children separately and adults ate later. The grounds are stunning and wonderful to wake up to the cows wandering around. However part of the grounds were warned off as there were bee hives and chickens which again, made it tricky with monitoring the children, however the garden was plenty big enough. There is another small property (gate house) to the front of the property that had guests staying that we were not made aware of until the day we checked in, but they did not cause us any bother at all. Would stay again.

Group getaway

Great property that serves our needs well. The kitchen is a little small for the size of the house but we coped well. There was very little storage space for clothes as the owners property was everywhere. There was no effort to make space for guests items and the house felt very cluttered with the owners stuff.

Charme et verdure

Le petit chateau de Thiouville est un endroit plein de charme, au bout d'une allée majestueuse avec un grand espace vert permettant de prendre l'air et profiter de la verdure. Le chateau orné de belles fleurs est assez bien équipé, sain, l'environnement calme et on y dort très bien. Nous étions entre amis et avons pu profiter du barbecue et du tennis. Les vaches du voisin faisant le tour de la propriété pour pâturer n'ont fait qu'ajouter au charme de l'endroit. A 25' en voiture de Fécamp et sa plage. Nous recommandons pour un long weekend en famille ou entre amis!

Un superbe endroit

Nous avons séjourné au château de Thiouville le temps d’un week-end en famille, et nous en gardons un très joli souvenir. Nous avons pu profité de l’intérieur et de l’extérieure, avec de très beaux espaces, et adaptés tant pour les plus petits (4 enfants) que les plus grands (12 adultes). Merci à Christine pour son accueil.

Noel à Thiouville

Nous avions réservé cette propriété pour 3 jours afin d'y fêter Noel en famille (15 personnes + 2 BB). Nous sommes tombé sous le charme de ce petit château authentique, confortable et spacieux, décoré avec goût par ses propriétaires, parfaitement équipé (et bien chauffé) pour y passer de bons moments. Les occupations n'ont pas manqué et les 4 générations présentes y ont trouvé leur compte entre le tennis, le babyfoot, le ping pong, les apéritifs et jeux de société face au feu de cheminée, et le repas de noel dans la grande salle à manger. Sans parler des escapades vers Etretat, ou Saint Valery en Caux. A refaire.

Nous avons passé un très beau week-end dans cette propriété à taille humaine, pleine d'histoire et de charme. Château remarquablement entretenu. Parc magnifique et calme avec de grands et beaux arbres, tennis et potager. Vue dégagée de toutes parts. Chambres et salons confortables. Bibliothèques pleines de livres... Proximité de la mer et des fameuses falaises locales. Une parenthèse accueillante et reposante à 2 heures de Paris.

Très belle demeure pour un super moment entre amis

Nous avons passé un excellent week-end normand. La maison est très belle et parfaitement entretenue. L'agencement de la maison est parfaite notamment en étant nombreux et avec des enfants qui était protégé des bruits. Enfin, les propriétaires sont très courtois et disponible pour s'assurer que l'installation et le séjour se passent au mieux.

Joie de vivre

Les proportions de ce très joli château sont idéales pour 14 personnes . Le volume des pièces , l'escalier sympa , les très belles fenêtres immenses et doubles , les immenses pelouses , les très vieux arbres , l'énorme réserve de buches pour la cheminée , l'allée bordé de jeunes arbres , tout est à la fois dépaysant pour les citadins et en même temps adapté . Les salles de bains sont superbes . Le confort des lits est excellent . Il fait très chaud dans toutes les pièces . Séjour revigorant et très joyeux . Les courses se font à Fauville en Caux où l'on trouve tout très facilement . Magnifique souvenir que ces vacances de Noël à Thiouville .
