This is a wonderful living space, with a well-equipped kitchen and a lovely garden. The host was very helpful. For big family gatherings you can book the gite right next door. It has less living space but more than one bathroom.
De gîte was compleet ingericht. Het ontbrak ons aan niets. Vooral de pelletkachel was een topper.De ontvangst door en de communicatie met de gastheer was uitstekend.
Een heerlijk huis met tuin en zeer aardige behulpzame eigenaar
Een groot huis met goed uitgeruste keuken. Een heerlijke tuin met veel speelgoed voor kinderen. Er zijn heel veel leuke dingen te doen in de omgeving en de kust is 45 min rijden. Heerlijk en absolute aanrader!
Zeker een aanrader als je de buurt van St-Omer wilt verkennen.
Ook niet ver gelegen van oa Boulogne-Sur-Mer en zeer vlotte baan om tot bij de kust te geraken.
Uitbater is gastvrij en steeds behulpzaam bij eventueel probleem.
Enig minpuntje is misschien de donkerte binnen in (weinig ramen) maar palletkachel geeft zeker een aangenaam gevoel in de wintermaanden.
Adresje om te bewaren dus
Accueil parfait. Gite conforme aux descriptions. Propriétaire très accueillant et disponible.
On peut y aller et y revenir les yeux fermés.
Fidèle à la réputation des gens du Nord.
Le séjour a été très agréable, dans un cadre verdoyant et fleuri.
Mon appréciation générale est très favorable, je mets néanmoins un bémol en ce qui concerne l'accès à l'étage qui dessert la chambre (celle qui à vocation à accueillir des enfants puisqu'équipée de deux lits séparés) : l'escalier est étroit et très raide, la rampe d'accès peu sécurisante.
Egalement bon à savoir, le bruit de l'autoroute qui passe à proximité est plus ou moins perceptible selon le sens du vent.
Location conforme à la description, spacieuse, propre et au calme! Beau terrain de jeux pour les enfants. Jardin parfaitement entretenu. Très bon accueil du propriétaire. Rien à dire tout était parfait !
Superbe gite, permettant de nombreuses découvertes de la région
L'accueil du propriétaire a été très chaleureux et il nous a fourni de nombreux conseils. Pendant le séjour, il s'est assuré que tout allait bien et nous le remercions beaucoup pour son attention.
Le gite est très bien équipé et l'espace à vivre est très agréable.
La localisation du gite nous a permis de découvrir entre autres, Lille, le bassin minier, Dunkerque, Calais et la cote d'Opale.
Gîte très sympa 👍, le seul petit reproche que j'aurai à faire est qu'il manque de luminosité.
Le jardin partagé avec toboggan, trampoline, chalet pour enfants top 👍
Portail avant d'accéder à la route donc bien quand on a des enfants 😊.
Les petites attentions du propriétaire sont appréciables.
Nous avons passé un bon séjour.
We stayed here for a long weekend to visit the Blockhaus at Eperleques and La Coupole Museum, the property was amazing, lovely and clean, nicely furnished and Stan was a lovely host. I would definitely recommend and we will return as there is so much to do in the area.
