Lovely gite made perfect with an indoor pool
So quick to get to from the channel tunnel, lots of amenities nearby, lovely gite and the kids wanted to live in the pool or play table tennis all day long, perfect! Thank you to the very friendly and helpful Mr and Mrs Courdon
Spotlessly clean with 6 gites on site. All very private with your own gardens. Access to the pool is also private, you book an hour slot in the morning and again afternoon or evening.
We had a fantastic time here, very helpful staff. The wifi isn't the greatest but we managed. Very comfortable gites and great proximity to Calais for ferry crossing.
Would be good to have a toaster 😀
L'accueil était très sympathique, le lieu agréable. Nous avons pu profiter de la piscine entre nous grâce à l'enregistrement des créneaux en amont (ce qui est un plus). Nous sommes restés deux jours et grâce à la flexibilité du gérant, nous avons pu repartir tranquillement à 11h30 au lieu des 9h30 initial. ANous recommandons pour un moment entre amis et/ou en famille.

Nice cottage with lovely pool.
Nice cottage with lovely garden, BBQ and garden furniture. Good location 10mins walk to bakery 30 mins walk to centre of town. Nice lake to walk to 10 mins away. Pool was a great bonus with kids and adults. Bikes free to borrow was handy but bring your own if serious about biking. Lots to do within short drive including some lovely beaches. La coploule good too. Stairs at la palmier a bit awkward for little ones or elderly.
A lovely holiday and short drive from Calais.

Bon accueil, quelques manques d'infrastructure mais bien équipé.
Le gite "Les Palmiers" est un peux petit mais assez grand pour 6 personnes, même accompagné par un petit enfant. Les locataires sont assez communicatif et flexible dans les conditions du séjour. L'accueil était sympa et bref, comme on le voulait. La piscine n'a pas l'air très propre et maintenu, et l'odeur n'est pas bien. A cause de cela, nous ne l'avons pas utilisé. Les lampes sur le domaine restent allumé toute la nuit. Le gite est chauffé par des feux éléctriques ce qui n'était pas suffisant pour certains entre nous au salon. La cuisine est bien équipé et les matelas sont plutôt dur.

Remarquable !
Un site exceptionnel qui nous a permis de faire notre anniversaire entre amis en restant tous dormir sur place. Quoi de mieux pour profiter pleinement de notre soirée! Des chambres confortables avec des grands lits, bien équipées, une déco moderne comme on aime.
Le pain frais et croissants déposés à la porte par le boulanger le dimanche matin...
et les propriétaires sympathiques et de bons conseils qui restent discrets
Merci à Delphine et Michaël pour ces merveilleux souvenirs.
