“Lovely, quiet and comfortable rural location - and fabulous hosts!” Wonderful, welcoming hosts. Property is well appointed, comfortable and spacious. Very rural location - small hamlet; nearest shops/restaurants/fuel approx 15 mins by car. Market towns a little farther away - eg Montreuil, Desvres, Hesdin. Seaside and sandy beaches approx 45 mins. Plenty of space to enjoy a glass of wine outside in the evening. Nice area for a stroll in the countryside - but nearest bar is a car drive away.
