Further details indoors:
The main bedroom is comfortable and leads out to the courtyard, which is lovely for early sunshine breakfasts under the new rustic gazebo. A BBQ is available for intimate eating Al Fresco. The courtyard is south facing, so gets sun for most of the day. A separate terrace is to the front of the property for quiet evening meals or to chill out at any time of the day. Inside is delightful, with vaulted ceilings and exposed beams, yet incorporating the latest insulation techniques allowing the property to be warm in winter and cool in summer.Basic SKY satellite
The cottage is in the quiet area of the village in a no-through road. The ambience is wonderful and the songs of the birds in the morning is an experience, yet inside, the double glazing gives peace and quiet! Our one rule when we converted the stables was 'would we live here' and the answer is most definitely - YES! The cottage has character, but is totally liveable and has everything you need to make your stay comfortable and restful. Our guests tell us that they would love to take the bed home with them as it is so comfortable!! The mezzanine is a chill-out area that is great for reading (you can still see the TV/DVD from up there) or relaxing. It is great fun and very suitable for one child (two would be tight), but the drop-down stairs are a bit steep, so is not suitable for really young children. We have a travel cot for toddlers or babies available if required.
Wooden Gazebo to cover the whole of the rear patio area (now completed). We ultimately plan to glaze the Gazebo to afford almost double the space of the cottage. The Gazebo will allow our guests enjoyment of the outside spaces in all weathers.
We actually prefer the cottage to our own house now!!
Further details outdoors:
The small garden and terrace, together with the courtyard area with gazebo (see comments above), allow lots of options when chilling out or dining. There are sun-loungers available for the courtyard, which is covered by the new gazebo and also creates a sun-trap for those who wish to top up their tan! The area is totally surrounded by countryside and hills, affording a lovely tranquil setting. There are safe walks and the area is crime-free and friendly.
Further details
A 100 euro security deposit is payable on arrival and will be repaid, subject to breakages etc. prior to departure. There is constant hot water and full heating in the cottage (subject to a small subsidy during the coolest months or as necessary). There is no cleaning charge, but we ask that you leave the cottage as you find it.
Short breaks are welcomed, but please contact us for details.
Conditions
Please contact by email in the first instance. Some members of our family also speak French. Late arrival is ok as long as you let us know. If you require special items or facilities, please let us know as we aim to make your stay here as comfortable and welcoming as possible. We are now enjoying the company of returning guests from last year; a really rewarding step forward.

The Northern France / Nord-Pas-de-Calais region


Historical area of Northern France, taking in the Sombe and many battlefields (Agincourt etc.) listed in history books both medieval and from the great wars. Climate is similar to the very south of England, with slightly earlier spring and summer. Lots of golf courses, fishing, walks, bike rides, motor sport, children's theme parks, beaches, shopping, ports and places of interest all within easy reach.
The TGV can allow easy access to Paris (50 mins) from Arras, which is an hour away, or from Boulogne or Lille. The largest cathedral in Europe is at Amien and there are lots of interesting places to go, both for shopping, wine, food, fun for kids etc. etc. Food in the Pas de Calais is diverse, from basic local dishes served through family run bars and restaurants, to culinery delights in specialist restaurants. There is something for all tastes.
The Montreuil-sur-Mer area
The historical walled town of Montreuil allows walks round the ramparts, but you are never far from the town centre with its shopping lanes and squares with outside dining cafes and restaurants. The coast is close by with Berck being the liveliest coastal town. Le Touquet is about a 30 minute drive and has a wealth of upmarket shops and restaurants. Hesdin is 20 minutes with its famous Thursday market and friendly cafes in the square.
In summer months, a music festival is held, with live music of all types featured weekly. Brocantes (local markets similar to car boot sales) are held virtually every weekend at different villages in the area. Golf course abound in the Cote d'Opalle (Opal Coast), with challenging courses or those ideal for the high handicap. All are friendly and inexpensive compared to the UK or other countries.
