​Great stay, welcoming family, lovely home for our holiday base - close to Amiens and Villers-Bretonneux for Anzac Day.  Sorry we can’t stay long in this lovely location.  Hopefully we will see you again.

We have enjoyed our week at Zeninpicardie immensely.  It is the end of a 7-week European adventure for us.  During our week here we have ridden your bicycles around the local neighborhood and particularly enjoyed the route to Conty (along the road - not the Coulée Verte which is a bit rough).  We also managed to see two states of the Tour de France which was an important part of our wish list for the region.  We weren't disappointed.  You house here is very comfortable and we had everything we needed and more!  Thanks you for the breakfast croissants and for being so helpful with all our enquiries.  We will remember our time here with fondness.

Thank you for allowing us to stay in your lovely home and making our time in France a very welcoming and memorable time.  This stay was just what we needed after a busy time visiting the many cities prior.

We will certainly be recommending your beautiful home to our family and friends.

We stayed ten days in Celine and Craig’s lovely home which is exactly as described with everything you need for an enjoyable holiday. Added bonuses were a welcome basket which included croissants, jam, pâté and wine, and also a beautiful garden and delightful views from the house. The location is ideal for visiting the Somme area. Celine, Craig, Haylie and Staci are a delightful family and we highly recommend staying with them.

We stayed here for a couple of nights whilst viewing some of the surrounding monuments to world war 1. Both Celine and Craig were very friendly and the house was very comfortable especially after a long day sight seeing. The garden was very nice to relax and look over at the end of the day.

The accommodation is well appointed, with quality furniture and their home is lovely. The downstairs apartment has one bedroom - there was also a fold out double & a single bed. We managed very well with our 2 teenage sons, for a 5 day stay. The lovely garden is good for sitting in the sun & enjoying a coffee or some wine & cheese. Our hosts were wonderful - Celine was so kind when our son was unwell & offered phone number for the local Doctor. She also gave us some groceries, as we were unaware the shops closed at 1pm on Sunday. We borrowed 2 bicycles to ride around and take photos. The village is one of a series of small villages, that almost run into each other. It's perfect for a relaxing stay, the area is very pretty and it's a short drive (15mins) into Amiens. Also very close to WW1 battlefields, lots of history to see within a short drive. I would recommend a car, as you will need one to get groceries - although a short cycle will take you to a delightful bakery in the next village. We had been to Berlin and Paris before arriving in Fossemanant, and it will remain one of the highlights of our trip.

Celine and Craig were great hosts and contacted us just before our stay. They were very welcoming and showed us through everything. The house was extremely clean and well kept and there was even a welcome basket of essentials waiting for us. We arrived late and spent most of our time visiting the Somme, so really didn't spend much time at the accommodation. Comfortable beds and a beautiful garden setting. It took us a while to work out the locks on the doors and with Celine and Craig's help on a few occasions we managed to get in and lock the premise. Just make sure you really understand the locks on check in. The home is very child friendly also. A little drive for any supplies or restaurants, but in saying that the kitchen is very well equipped to do all your own cooking.

You have provided us with a most comfortable home away from home for our stay in Picardy. The recent renovation and setup are near perfect. Most of all your warmth and desire to assist in assuring our comfort have been much appreciated. We shall not hesitate to recommend ZenInPicardie to our friends. Thank you and our very best wishes for the future.

We had a wonderful stay here. Celine and Craig were very welcoming and nothing was too much trouble for them. The house is in the most beautiful and peaceful setting with all the amenities that one could wish for.
