About this property
Close to Normandy’s Alabaster Coast, Le Nid Côtier is a striking 18th-century farmhouse reborn. Immaculately renovated yet rich in heritage, this spacious retreat invites guests to experience the rhythm of rural French life, just minutes from some of the region’s most captivating shores.
Inside, traditional features are celebrated and elevated. The ground floor is warm and expansive, where original wood beams and exposed brick offer a rustic counterpoint to stylish furnishings. The kitchen is well-equipped and sociable, with a large dining table and benches that invite lingering conversation late into the evening. Thoughtful design continues across the four bedrooms, where exposed timber lends a distinctive character. A generous mix of king-size double and twin rooms, along with modern shower rooms, makes this a flexible and welcoming home for families or groups of friends.
Beyond the walls of the farmhouse, guests can admire the open grounds. A traditional charetterie is an ideal spot for barbecues, while the table tennis table offers a casual challenge. Whether reading in the upstairs library nook or preparing an easy dinner after a day on the coast, every space invites comfort, connection and ease.
Set by itself in the Seine-Maritime, Le Nid Côtier offers both privacy and proximity. A hiking path winds through fields directly to the sea, where the tides shift the mood and colour of the coast. The sandy beach at Saint-Aubin-sur-Mer is just 2.8 km away, ideal for watching the tide and soaking up the salty air. Dieppe, with its bustling harbour and vibrant markets, is only a short drive, while the storybook beauty of Veules-les-Roses and Varengeville-sur-Mer adds culture and colour to your stay.
Whether for coastal adventure or quiet retreat, Le Nid Côtier brings together tradition and comfort in a fine setting in Normandy.
In the Seine-Maritime department of Normandy, Le Nid Côtier offers a rural escape just 4km from the dramatic Alabaster Coast. Whether you’re planning bracing coastal walks or day trips to charming seaside towns, this setting offers a delightful slice of Normandy.
A scenic walking path – part of the chemin de grande randonnée – leads directly to the sea through golden fields, arriving at the beach in around 30 minutes on foot. For quicker access, the sandy shores of Plage Saint-Aubin-sur-Mer (2.8km) are just a short drive away, ideal for soaking up the sea air. There’s a summer snack bar, play area and vast shores of sand and rock, depending on the tide.
Local conveniences are close at hand too: a small café-bar/tabac/épicerie is around five minutes by car, while Dieppe (19km) offers full amenities, bustling markets and a picturesque harbour filled with fishing boats.
This corner of Normandy is also rich in cultural and natural gems. Just a short drive away is Veules-les-Roses (8.5km), officially one of France’s most beautiful villages. Stroll along the riverbank, taste local oysters by the sea and admire the half-timbered houses draped in flowers. Varengeville-sur-Mer (11km) is equally captivating, home to a clifftop church adorned with stained glass by Georges Braque – who also rests in its churchyard. Explore the elegant Manoir d’Ango and several renowned gardens, particularly vibrant during the Festival des Botaniques in autumn.
