Staying near Hugleville-en-Caux: a family château in a wooded park
This is not a hotel but a holiday let: the Expedia listing, run by a private host, presents a family château in the middle of a large wooded park. It is described as a castle for families in a rural setting, and the details of the rooms read like those of a self-catering house, with a living room, a separate dining area and a dining table, a smart TV with cable and satellite channels, central heating and a washing machine.
The kitchen is fully equipped: oven, hob, dishwasher, fridge, microwave, mixer, toaster, kettle, and cookware, crockery and cutlery. Bed linen and towels are provided, and the bathroom has a shower, a hairdryer and soap. Wi-Fi is free in all rooms at more than 250 Mbit/s, which the listing says suits three to five people or up to ten devices.
Outside there is a garden with a barbecue and outdoor furniture, a children’s playground, bicycles and games. The listing mentions cycling as an activity, and one dog up to 10 kg is allowed. Because the listing does not say how many people the château sleeps, check the booking page for the exact layout.

The châteaux of Hugleville-en-Caux: what Wikipedia says
- 10th century – According to Wikipedia, the history of the Le Comte d’Hugleville family goes back to the 10th century and the arrival of the Vikings.
- c. 1750 – The central building of the Château de Grosfy is built in brick, with a façade of Saint-Jean brick.
- 1854 and 1860 – Two wings are added to the Château de Grosfy, originally a hunting lodge in a 5-hectare park of old trees.
- Late 19th century – A fire destroys the earlier house of the Château d’Hugleville.
- 1890s – The present Château d’Hugleville is built on the foundations of the burned house, with a floral park.
Wikipedia’s article on the commune lists two châteaux: the Château d’Hugleville with its floral park, dating from the 1890s, and the Château de Grosfy, an 18th-century house flanked by wings from 1854 and 1860, set in a park of 5 hectares of two-hundred-year-old trees with an avenue of limes. The article says the latter has 550 m² of living space and 69 windows.
The Expedia listing does not name its château, so it is not certain that it is one of these two. They are therefore mentioned as part of the village’s heritage and not as the identity of the holiday let; the village also has the church of Notre-Dame-de-l’Assomption.
