Our hosts Davis and Sarah were very helpful throughout the stay with various tips and advice. We were very pleased with the gite generally though felt the advert could have been worded a little better. There is no private garden for the use of the guests as there is another gite, with guests, within the grounds, and these people also share the pool. The pool is outside the second gite, so although the ad states that the owners won't use it to ensure complete privacy, this doesn't really apply because it is shared. |

Fantastic service, Sarah and David very very helpful and friendly. Full of useful information on everything you may want to do. Property very nice and comfortable in a lovely quiet area. Perfect location for quiet times but also not too far away for days out. Beaches half an hour and most things you can get too in an hour. We perhaps went too early in the year(may) with young children as the French only open the parks on half terms and summer holidays but we still kept busy, children loved collecting the eggs from Sarah and David's chickens and they were very tasty. We would definitely consider another visit but would do so later in year next time. Response: Thank you for your feedback and I am glad that you had a good holiday here. I am sorry that you feel disappointed regarding the location of the pool however our advert clearly states that this is a cottage with above ground shared pool, your own private dining terrace, and shared garden. |

This was the second time my wife, son & I have stayed at Rose Cottage. It is situated only a relatively short distance from Calais in a region with lots of places to visit. The cottage is excellent & the Bing family brilliant hosts, going out of their way to be helpful & making your stay special. |
