As a small family with a newborn we were looking for a gite that was close to everything by car but also calmly located. The gite was perfect and there is lots in the area to do and to see. The gite itself was perfectly suited for all our needs. The kitchen is very well equipped! Pierre was a tremendous host and we enjoyed our two weeks to the outmost. Merci beaucoup!
Lovely location from which to explore. The host, Pierre, was welcoming and has a great detailed book with complete information on all that you need to know. Please note that you must ring your own linens. Would def recommend.

Effectivement, pour des personnes de grande qualité, le logement est un peu sobre et mérite d'être valorisé mais les familles, elles, apprécient la simplicité, le confort et l'accueil. Le renouvellement chaque année de leur séjour est un témoignage plus sincère et pertinent.
Gîte rural renover avec climatisation dans un village très calme . Je n'ai entendu que 2 motos en 1 semaine ! Est encore à peine quelques secondes ! On se retrouve en pleine campagne la famille à apprécier le calme . Une mezzanine ou les enfants peuvent jouer ou une personne écrire. Équipé d ' un petit bureau . Petite cour pour manger au calme. A recommandé aux familles qui aime la nature . Propriétaire d une grande gentillesse et disponible. (Voisin ). Gîte
le gite est bien situé à quelques kilomètres des plages; dans une très jolie campagne. Nous avons été très bien reçus par Mr Lequien et serions bien restés plus longtemps

Bien à vous. P.Lequien
La maison était comme indiqué dans la description et est tout à fait adéquate pour le prix. La terrasse derrière la maison est idéale pour les barbecues.
M. Lequien est un hôte très sympathique. Très poli et serviable. Assurez-vous de visiter l'atelier!
Merci beaucoup

Gemütlich ruhiges Ferienhaus
Wir haben den Urlaub sehr genossen, das Haus war dem Preis entsprechend eingerichtet und auch so beschrieben. Herr Lequien, der Vermieter, ist sehr Freundlich, jederzeit Hilfsbereit. Die Verständigung erfolgte zwar nur mit ein paar Worten auf Englisch, funktionierte aber irgendwie. Wir hatten allgemein den Eindruck, das die Franzosen nicht so gerne, oder garnicht Englisch sprechen können (oder wollen....), aber das war alles kein Problem. Die Umgebung ist sehr ruhig und erlebenswert, und auf jeden Fall eine Reise wert.

Netter Vermieter. Die Wohnung ist etwas in die Jahre gekommen
Die Wohung wurde im Jahr 2000 fertig gestellt. Seitdem wurde nicht viel daran getan. Schimmel im Badezimmer. Die Schlösser von Haustür und Hoftür funktionieren nicht richtig. Wackelige Steckdosen. Matrazen fleckig.

Très bien
Un gîte spacieux, très bien décoré, très bien situé dans le calme d'une vraie campagne, mais seulement à quelques minutes de la forêt et de la mer (avec des plages de sable immenses). Le propriétaire est très sympa et est une mine de renseignements et de conseils sur sa région. De plus c'est un artiste qui nous a fait découvrir son métier et son amour pour le vitrail. Il a même su passionner nos enfants (10 et 13 ans) sur cet art (quel exploit). Un très bon séjour que je conseille vivement. Nous y reviendrons.

a pleasant surprise
We didn't expect to find such a lovely place in the village of Widehem . This basic traditional gîte was up to our expectations. The proprietor is very friendly and generous with his time to give tips about things to do in the area. Only 15mns from the sea, 30 from Boulogne (Nausicaa, really worth a visit) or Le Touquet, where we found loads to do and great restaurants. The market in Etaples is typical and colorful and the beaches are really splendid! You need to take your car to do things as there is very little in the village, but lots of beautiful walks are possible around. A great holiday at a reasonable price! We'll return!
