    Perfect night stopover so close to Calais and yet in a gorgeous rural, peaceful setting that feels much farther away than it is. Isabelle is such a welcoming host and her home and rooms are delightful.

    This property is very good. The lady in charge is well-organised and friendly. The rear garden runs down to lovely lake. The breakfast was particularly excellent. We were invited to try various local foods and cooked to order! A really good...

    Isabelle was a truly fantastic host, both friendly and helpful. Fantastic breakfast in the morning and great location for exploring Ardres and nearby attractions. Our 2nd stay and hopefully not our last.
