Explore the magic of Normandy from your base in Le Tréport, a quaint fishing town. This elegant apartment and its soft-toned interiors are reminiscent of another time, embodying the timeless charm of Northern France. 

Refined furniture and pretty touches make for a lovely abode – every detail echoes and celebrates the beauty of its surroundings. Whether you’re sipping your morning coffee on your small balcony, savouring a hot bath after a long day of exploring, or whipping up dinner in your well-equipped kitchen, there’s everything you could need to feel at home. Tucking into meals around the mid-century-style dining table is particularly lovely, with the French doors open to let the fresh sea air billow in.

Spend mornings taking a gentle walk along the canal and discover the town’s fishing history through its port, just 200 metres away. When you want to explore the historical centre, you’re a stone’s throw away from all the local shops, restaurants, historical sights, and more. But the best thing to do in Le Tréport is to simply appreciate the beautiful cliffs and cove beaches – hop on the funicular train to catch an immense view of the natural surroundings.

Situated on charming sea-front esplanade of Mers-les-Bain, this bright apartment will have you perfectly placed for spending sunny days down at the sandy beach and exploring the town's historic centre. Start the mornings with a cup of coffee on your private balcony, gazing at the Art Nouveau villas and 19th-century style buildings the neighbourhood is renowned for. 

Stepping back inside, you'll enjoy breakfast at the elegant dining table and relaxing on the stylish modular sofa as you plan the day ahead. Comfortable furnishings and lovingly curated decor makes the space warm and welcoming, so you can make yourself right at home. 

When it's time to head out, grab your bucket and spade, and hit the sandy beach for an afternoon of sunbathing and swimming, just a short stroll from your doorstep. When you're not soaking up the sun on the beach, the port of Treport is well worth a visit, with terraces, small guinguettes, craft markets and several restaurants to enjoy.

Soak up scenic sea views from the small balcony, which we think makes the perfect perching spot when sipping your morning coffee. With the option to cook u your own culinary masterpieces in a stylish setting, we can see why dining in may seem appealing here (especially with some produce from the local French farmer's market). However, if you fancy having some local delicacies cooked for you – the bars and restaurants of Mers-les-Bains are within strolling distance here too.

Positioned directly on Dungeness's public beach, this former foghorn testing station has been fully renovated into a unique getaway for two. The nearby lighthouse's foghorn still works, although we much prefer the idea of waking up to the sound of the waves and seagulls. The sea is literally on your doorstep, and huge glass doors and a small terrace maximise the idyllic views. It's more of a studio than a one-bed, but we like the single-level layout. Although phone signal is patchy here and there's no proper TV, there is wi-fi for remote working and streaming. That said, the Bose speaker system, wood burner and teak bathtub are all you need to truly unwind.

Welcome Hamper

Set on a 17th-century estate spanning over 40 acres of land, this extravagant chateau was restored by a former artistic director of Dior jewellery who creatively combined classic styles in harmony with the home's historic roots with modern design and luxurious amenities. 

It's no wonder that the chateau is listed under the French National Trust – as its majestic ambience, married with its impressive facade, gardens, and interiors, make for a truly magical stay beyond the norm. Across the grounds, you'll find centuries-old trees, expansive grassy lawns, flower gardens and two private swimming pools for guests to use at their disposal. 

Spend leisurely days playing badminton, petanque and croquet, riding the château's bikes or swinging by the tall trees. Sport-loving guests also benefit from tennis membership at a club nearby and an 18-hole golf course – and horse-riding opportunities within short driving distance. 

Get lost inside the castle's drop-dead gorgeous living spaces. This home is sure to impress, from drawing rooms to lounge areas, office space, and a truly one-of-a-kind enormous chef's kitchen. Around every corner lies refined details, antique treasures and an infinity of elegance. 

Situated between the picturesque towns of Dieppe and Fécamp – you'll be just a five-minute drive away from the beaches along the Alabaster coastline in this magnificent part of Normandy. Also within easy reach from the chateau and well worth a visit is one of France's 'Plus Beaux Villages', Veules les Roses – a fifteen-minute drive away. Here you'll find an idyllic setting filled with thatched cottages – wander along the delightful river passing by the watermills or relax by the beach promenade where you can sample the famous 'Veulaise' oysters.

This chateau in Normandy is bursting with old-world charm. Built by the original owner in the 19th century as a wedding present for his wife, it has been lovingly restored in recent years. While historic features like the elegant façade, grand rooms and antique French floor tiles have been preserved, the basement has been converted into a haven for fun and relaxation. The curved brick rooms are now home to a cinema room, a pool table, and a fitness suite. Meanwhile upstairs retains its 19th-century splendour through antique furniture, original fireplaces, and oak panelled walls. 

Set within an 18-hectare estate, there are beautiful spots to while away the days. Relax on the lawn with a book or sip calvados on the charming château terrace. On sunny days, whip up lunch on the barbecue while the children have fun in the play area. There are over 300 apple and pear trees in the fruit orchard, and beautiful walking trails through the estate’s woodland, with sprawling views of Normandy countryside, which you can explore on foot or on the bikes at the house. 

The area is surrounded by picturesque villages and scenery. The historic town of Gournay-en-Bray is a five-minute drive away, where you can pick up local produce at the twice-weekly market for a picnic. The Forêt de Lyons can be reached in twenty minutes by car, where you can practise a range of outdoor adventures, or simply walk through the winding woodland trails. 

Chateau des Bois

With such quaint and historic surroundings, this 17th-century terraced brick apartment aims to keep things tranquil and to let Lille do the talking. Explore this medieval principality - that once encompassed parts of northern France, as well as Dutch and Belgian provinces - from your centrally-located home.

Its modern interior brings 21st-century ideals to this otherwise historic neighbourhood with a statement black kitchen, modernist white furnishings and bold accent walls. The open plan dining area is an idyllic spot to spend quick breakfasts with coffee and croissants you picked up from the boulangerie Au Fournil de Jade Abdelkader, just five minutes walk, as well as candlelit dinners made with your market haul selection from Halles de Wazemmes, a fourteen-minute drive or twenty minutes if you’re optioning for the metro. 

Explore the Flanders capital’s distinctive Baroque architecture, its old town, Vieux Lille, and the former coal-mining site which is now the contemporary, Musée du Louvre-Lens. For dinner, stop into Le Présentoir for their seasonal delights and natural wines - our pick is a seat at the banquette with the oxtail terrine.

We can see why this French country estate has been featured in a raft of interior design magazines. Inspired by mid-century modern architects, the layout, furnishings and finishes are not what you necessarily expect from these traditional buildings, but they complement them perfectly. There’s a main house and an attached barn, as well as two independent guest suites (one also has a sauna). Step into the gardens and you’ll find a wood-fired Nordic bath and a pétanque court. There’s also a greenhouse growing seasonal crops and an outdoor kitchen with a wood-fired pizza oven. Set in a small village within the Vexin Nature Reserve and just an hour from Paris, you’ll have plenty to see and do during your stay.

Hidden Splendour

If you're fond of the work produced during the impressionist movement, a visit to Pontoise is essential, as a lot of the most prominent artists chose to base themselves in this picturesque corner of France. However, it's fair to say that some of the homes have progressed a little since Pissaro and Cézanne were plying their trade in the area – this address is a prime example.

There's something effortlessly stylish about the interior, dominated as it is by stark white walls, shiny tiling and chic furnishings. Add into the mix a kitchen designed with minimalist principles in mind and rows of tall windows that let in the amount of natural light that even the most demanding of landscape painters would be happy with, and you've got a home that feels fresh and contemporary.

To top it all off, guests are treated to a landscaped garden complete with flowerbeds and a table on which to enjoy feasts fresh off the barbecue as the sun goes down. If you need to buy ingredients, the centre of Pontoise takes around a quarter of an hour to reach on foot and also offers galleries and a cathedral. Paris is only an hour away on the train, too.

First Impression

Situated in the heart of the French countryside, this rural gîte offers a private and tranquil place to call home for those looking to escape the pressures of daily life. A short stroll from the charming village of Villers en Arthies, you'll find local shops and restaurants, while the surrounding fields provide a scenic backdrop for your afternoon walks. And, if you're looking for a little excitement, the lodge is approximately an hour's drive from thrilling Paris. 

Back at home, days begin with a cup of coffee out in the garden, complete with a patio dining area and barbecue for those cosy meals at home. Stepping inside, you'll find a comfortable living area, cocooned by rustic wooden beams, brick walls, and sloped ceilings. Sink into one of the squishy sofas with a good book, as natural sunlight pours in through the skylights overhead. With stylish furnishings, homey decorative details, literature and board games, you and your family or group of friends will soon fall settle into this quaint country abode.

Spend your days in the garden enjoying the fruits of the orchard and castle views – the outdoor sofa is the perfect place to relax and enjoy your surroundings. When you feel like exploring, there are six bikes available which are perfect for cycling through the forest or paying a trip to the village to pick up some local ingredients to cook on the barbecue. For a change of pace, take a drive to one of the nearby towns, where you can discover ancient architecture, wine shops and cafes. 

This home puts family time front and centre, with garden games and even a ping pong table on offer. When night falls, head indoors to cuddle up around the wood burner, or take a relaxing soak in the bath.

The bedrooms are on the first floor, each boasting retro-style murals and vintage furniture. With a private gate leading to the River Rother, this home is well-placed for walks along the water. The garden has more than enough space for alfresco dining, as well as a dedicated lounge area for evening drinks and socialising. While there's plenty of parking, you'll find vineyards, restaurants, shops, and public transport are all within walking distance. Plus, Brighton and London are only a train ride away.

We could tell this exquisite home, in the heart of the East Sussex countryside, is owned by an interior photographer – it's picture-perfect. We love the attention to detail that has gone into this place. It's been designed with entertainment in mind – relax in the hot tub in the secluded south-facing garden with a glass of Sussex fizz, dine under the shade of the vine-covered pergola or sunbathe on the loungers. Play croquet on the extensive lawn or simply spot the wildlife – if you're lucky, you may see rabbits, badgers and the occasional deer. 

Inside, there are even more options to keep your family or friends occupied. Listen to some music on the Bluetooth sound system, channel your inner Mozart at the electric piano or bang out some rhythms on the drum kit. If music isn't your thing, watch a movie in the cinema room or play some table tennis. After all that activity, unwind by the open fire if it's chilly, read a book on the Barcelona-style chair or have a soak in one of the freestanding baths. 

With so much to do here, you may not find the time to explore, but if you do, you'll be rewarded with magnificent beaches and charming towns. Hastings, with its bars, cafes and music scene, is just over fifteen minutes by car, while it's the same distance to Rye. Camber Sands is Twenty-five minutes, while Great Dixter House and Gardens, built by architect Edwin Lutyens, is a ten-minute drive.

Whip up a fresh breakfast in the country-style kitchen – there’s an orchard to collect juicy cherries, plums and apples from – then stretch out on the loungers and turn pages of your holiday read. Spend the afternoon touring your local vineyard, sampling the region’s finest Champagnes – don’t forget to bring a bottle home to share over dinner on the terrace at the golden hour.

Set at the foot of the Dungeness roundhouse, this former lighthouse keeper’s cottage makes for the ultimate escape from the city. There are unspoilt views of the rugged landscape, and several nearby coastal paths to explore on foot, with plenty of local pubs en-route. Spend sunny days on the terrace embracing the peace, while the cooler months can be equally enjoyable keeping cosy in the cottage with the two wood burners. Only a ten-minute drive from Rye, you’ll find plenty of restaurants and boutiques for when you’re craving a bit of hustle and bustle. 


The East Keeper's Cottage

A beautiful chateau and its guest house await a group of friends or a large family looking to escape their everyday routines and settle into a more relaxed lifestyle. You'll find Chouchou just outside of the picturesque village of Ognon, where there is an abundance of excellent restaurants, typical boulangeries and a bit of retail therapy. Wander along the river bank and enjoy the medieval views. If that's not really your cup of tea, there's plenty to do at the house itself. From the swimming pool to the playground, people of all ages will be entertained here.

As refined and attractive a home as you're likely to see, this single-storey apartment is a wing of a Grade II Gothic mansion. But what makes it truly unique is that it faces the ruins of an ancient Franciscan abbey that's of such historical importance it's been granted Scheduled Monument status. Set in the home's grounds, the abbey dates from 1285 and it's quite a sight to wake up to each morning.

Inside, the home is beautifully detailed, with character features like a meticulously restored original fireplace with log burner in the living room, Gothic plasterwork, ornate cornice to the high ceilings and stone mullion windows. Decorated in a classical country residence style, there's a Chesterfield to lounge upon, a vintage dining table and chairs, and an antique writing table. But it also boasts some tasteful modern touches, like the emperor-size bed with a cashmere and wool mattress and 800 thread count linen in the master bedroom, the stylish marble bathrooms, the cosy double bed and built-in bunkbed in the second bedroom. Comfortable and warm, it's a real home from home, with a well kitted-out kitchen (including a basket of local produce) and unbeatable views framed by tall windows.

With its own private and fully enclosed garden and a wood-fired hot tub, you'll no doubt be spending much of your time outdoors, and there's a table and chairs plus a barbecue for meals alfresco. But the village pub is only a short walk away and the charming medieval town of Rye, bursting with pubs, shops and restaurants, is just a few minutes by car. Explore Winchelsea’s cellar tours, 13th century church with stunning stained glass windows, farm shop, pub, and vineyard wine tours hosted by a neighbour of the home. Keen walkers can hike across the marshes, while beach lovers will be in their element – Winchelsea beach is just down the road, while both Rye Harbour and the famous dunes of Camber Sands are a short drive. You're also only two hours from London.

A stone’s throw from Camber Sands, this stylish home takes beach shack to glamorous new heights, making it the perfect coastal retreat for friendly get-togethers and extended families. 

The interior is characterfully designed using reclaimed and antique materials, offering a revitalised version of seaside chic. The host is evidently a fan of up-cycling – look out for creative touches such as repurposed doors, stain-glass windows and rustic radiators. We especially love the wood-panelled walls and flooring that shape the space as a whole, while the comfortable furnishings, neutral tones and wood-burning stove keep things cosy. 

Here, as much attention has been paid to comfort as it has to style – drift off to sleep beneath Egyptian cotton bed linen or relax on leather sofas in the sitting room. But, don’t spend too much time inside as this home is close to an expansive sandy beach. Enjoy exclusive use of a private “No Through” sandy road, with access only to residents, and walk to the sand dunes in two minutes. End the day with early-evening sundowners on the front porch, sharing anecdotes and listening to the waves lapping in and out of the shore, before heading into the local village for a spot of traditional pub grub, five minutes away on foot. 

Camber Sands

Breakfast Included

A quintessentially English countryside escape, you may have seen this characterful 16th-century manor feature in the film Mr Holmes and more notably in season three of The Crown. In honour of such a humble appearance – we've named this home after the episode in which it features, titled "Cri de Coeur". Surrounded by 720-acres of National Trust farmland, the property boasts a location amidst breathtaking natural beauty that stretches as far as the eye can see. There's even a 30-acre family-run vineyard owned that guests have the opportunity to discover on a wine tour and tasting organised by the hosts. Make the most of the on-site wine tasting lounge – it's the perfect place to socialise after a day out in the country air. 

As well as communal access to the winery, you'll have private access to an entire wing of the home as well as a private piece of the garden – separate from any other guests. Stone paths pave the way inside to the cosy main living space with a traditional aesthetic throughout. While there isn't a kitchen as such in the wing, the living area includes a fridge, freezer, toaster, kettle and some dining essentials so that you can enjoy simple meals around the table. After country walks through the sheep fields or to Winchelsea Beach (fifty minutes away on foot) – make returning and snuggling up in front of the log burner fire a cosy ritual that you'll crave long after your stay. From the bedroom windows, take in the best views in the house, as the vistas sweep across the rolling hills and out to sea. With the town of Rye positioned just 4 miles away, this place is not as remote as it may seem – as you'll have convenient access to an array of charming shops, pubs and restaurants just a ten-minute drive away. 

Cri de Coeur

This quirky home is full of charm and fascinating architectural design. A salvaged Victorian railway carriage has been incorporated into the design of the home, which boasts retro and urban styling – you’d never guess from the simple white cottage exterior. There’s a pool table and a wood-burning stove for cosy nights in, but most of your stay here will likely be spent exploring the shingle beach just a few steps away, or admiring sea views and the dramatic backdrop of the power station on Dungeness beach. This area is a great choice for wildlife enthusiasts – don’t forget to bring your binoculars. 

The Dungeness Carriage

Nested in the heart of Normandy's gastronomic riches, Pivoine is a rustic retreat that will best suit those who want to slow down and smell the flowers. The estate of the chateau is perfect for long walks and doing absolutely nothing by the pool, while the interior promotes socialising via the regal antique furniture. The nearby town of Bourg-Achard also has a lovely bakery that delivers bread and pastries on demand – and everyone can wake up to the smell of croissants in the morning.
