Perfect French Country stay
Riverside House is located in perfect French countryside on the banks of the Seine. The local village of Muids is postcard perfect. Within an easy drive of Paris or the Normandy coast our experience of Riverside delivered so much more than we could have hoped for. Calvados by the fire of an evening following a leisurely exploration of local villages was a perfect way to experience this gorgeous part of the country. We highly recommend a stay, however brief, at Riverside House.

Super holiday!
Our family of 11 had such a wonderful time at this beautiful gîte. The very amenable host has paid a lot of attention to detail and provided a good deal of helpful advice and information about the local area. There is so much to do locally but when not busy the house and its location allows for fun days and relaxation. Thank you so much Jordan for allowing us to use your lovely holiday home.

Lovely property in tranquil setting
We were a family party of 13 ranging from 1 to 70 celebrating various birthdays and being together after Covid. The whole property is beautiful and the configuration worked well for us - especially all the en- suite bathrooms and the large dining kitchen. The locals were very friendly on our daily walks along the river and the fresh croissants every morning were an added bonus. Jordan kept us informed every step of the way answering my numerous questions and checking that we had arrived safely. Would highly recommend Riverside House

Beautiful Normandy
A beautiful house that has been lovingly restored to provide an excellent facility that can accommodate up to 16 people. We loved the rustic French feel but all the necessary 'mod cons' to make if comfortable. We loved the pool and the ability to enjoy al-fresco dining.
