This interactive slideshow lets you explore the volumes, layout, decoration and real atmosphere of the different rooms of the house.

Comfort, the first requirement of a luxury holiday cottage

Comfort in a holiday home does not depend on a single remarkable feature. It rests on a coherent whole: rooms that are spacious enough, quality bedding, a functional kitchen, bathrooms suited to the number of guests, and shared spaces designed for living together without feeling cramped.

At Le Secret des Cordelières, every part of the home has a clear purpose. The large kitchen lets you prepare meals for the whole family. The four bedrooms give everyone their own place to rest. The two bathrooms make it easier to organise group stays. The lounge, dining room, garden and terrace let you gather together without ever running out of space.

Comfort also shows in everyday details: a large fridge, a dishwasher, a washing machine, a tumble dryer, a connected TV, board games, a foosball table, garden furniture, and a closed garage.

This level of equipment is the essential foundation of a comfortable gîte. The section below shows exactly what is made available to guests.

The fourth star: attention paid to our guests

A fully equipped home makes your stay comfortable. Services, on the other hand, let your holiday really begin the moment you arrive.

Le Secret des Cordelières doesn't stop at offering a well-arranged home. Bed linen and bath linen are provided, beds are made up before your arrival, and end-of-stay cleaning is included. Families also benefit from a cot, a high chair, games and books.

These thoughtful details mean less luggage to carry and a simpler stay to organise. They complement the home's equipment and contribute directly to the quality of the welcome.

It is this combination of generous volumes, equipment, comfort, services and the character of the place that allowed Le Secret des Cordelières to earn its 4-star Atout France classification and the Gîtes de France 4 épis label.

The fourth star is therefore not just an extra star. It reflects a more complete requirement: a stay thought out as a whole, from the moment guests arrive to the moment they leave.

Comfort & services

Neufchatel en bray: comfort within walking distance

Comfort doesn't stop at the gîte's front door. It extends into a human-scale town where shops, services and many activities are accessible without spending part of your holidays on the road.

Neufchatel en bray has all the advantages of a larger town without the distances or the constraints. Within minutes, families can reach the bakery, restaurants, the market, the cinema, the bowling alley or the aquatic centre. Essential services — doctors, pharmacies, vets and an EV charging station — are also nearby.

Children can enjoy sports and leisure activities while parents explore the shops, the museum or the town centre. For a day in the open air, the Avenue Verte Paris–London cycle route crosses Neufchatel en bray and offers an ideal itinerary for a walk or bike ride.

This proximity genuinely changes the way you experience your holidays. Everyone can pick their own activity without imposing long drives on the rest of the family. You can pop out for bread on foot, head to a restaurant, take the kids to the aquatic centre or set off cycling straight from the town.

Le Secret des Cordelières offers the quiet of a home with a garden combined with the comfort of a town particularly well equipped for family stays.

The Neufchatel en bray bonus: Normandy within easy reach

Neufchatel en bray occupies a fairly rare position. By staying in one place, it's possible to head off in a different direction every day and discover entirely new landscapes, towns and atmospheres.

To the west, the road leads to Lisieux and Caen. Heading up to the coast, you reach the Bay of Somme and the seaside. To the south, Rouen, Dreux, Versailles and even Paris remain accessible. To the east, Amiens and Beauvais open up further opportunities.

All these destinations are within roughly a two-hour radius of Neufchatel en bray. The town thus becomes a real base camp: you can explore Normandy and the neighbouring regions, then return each evening to the quiet, the garden and the comfort of Le Secret des Cordelières.

This privileged location is no accident. Neufchatel en bray has long stood at a crossroads, on routes connecting the coast, the major Norman towns, Picardy and the Paris region. Its “Village étape” label perfectly captures this calling: to welcome travellers, offer them the services they need, and make them want to keep exploring… or stay a little longer.

Near the holiday home

Guests also give us their stars

Official classifications recognise the quality of the home, its equipment and its services. But our finest reward remains the one given by the guests themselves.

Their 5-star reviews and their words confirm what we set out to create: a welcoming, comfortable home full of character, in which families and groups of friends quickly feel at home.

They speak of the decor, the cleanliness, the quality of the equipment, the quiet of the garden, and the welcome received. These 5-star ratings complement the 4 stars of the official classification and the 4 épis of Gîtes de France.
