Modern and quiet cottage between forest and sea in the heart of the Opal Coast

We spend our family summer holidays at the Côte d'Opale, at the Opale Inn. The most important thing, we've spent a very relaxing two weeks. The Gite offers everything you can think of. A well-equipped kitchen, very comfortable bedding, a clean and spacious bathroom and a very, very spacious living area.There are several streaming services available, if there is a rainy day, but we brought our FireTV stick with us, so we haven't really used it. That said, the internet connection is very good, it is well offering the use of streaming devices.The kitchen is equipped with every appliance you would expect in a kitchen, as we've been cooking mostly in, we had a good chance of using it and it worked as you would expect.The bedrooms are comfortable and cozy, we slept nice and well. The master bedroom is equipped with an extra shower, which we haven't used, but if you want too....All and all we had a great summer holiday and plan to come back.Finally, Nathalie and Jean-Marc are a very comforting host couple. They do live not far away and came around several times if everything is fine and if we need any help to get around, which we gladly used, and based on that, our trip to Lille with the TGV (there is a TGV station 5min away) and seeing the "dragon" in Calais where a great success.Again, thank you, we're planning to come back next year....Mark

I’m surprised that there aren’t more reviews of this property given the amount of bookings they apparently have as this is a super find. An unusually spacious, clean, well equipped modern property with a large garden surrounded by farmland. Very peaceful and quiet, the sound of birdsong, just the odd car passing by. Great to have a shower and sink in one of the bedrooms in addition to the facilities downstairs. Comfortable beds. Sufficient equipment for self catering as we cook in, and a good size fridge freezer and modern oven. They also have access to Netflix and Prime which was appreciated. A short bike ride or drive to the nearest town, Guines, and we didn’t need to drive more than 20 minutes to get to the coast or biking areas. Nathalie and Jean Marc, who live close by, were very helpful and we appreciated Nathalie’s patience with our French :-)

Wonderful property in a lovely quiet area of northern france. Excellent location for exploring northern France and in to Belgium. Extremely quiet and peaceful with visits from wild deer and bats in the evening. Property has everything you need and i would highly recommne

We spent 2 wonderful weeks in a landscape where one of us has passed 24 years of professoional life. We enjoyed the beach and the "new-born" Calais with the dragon cave. And last but not least "french cuisine".

This was our 8 year old granddaughter's first visit with her parents to France and she loved every moment of it. The house was perfect and esay to keep clean with lovely lawns to play on. Wissant beach was our favourite, only 20 mins away. A pretty town with beach facilities, easy parking and wonderful golden sands. Carrefour was nearby in Guines - ideal for all our shopping needs which our granddaughter thoroughly enjoyed as a daily visit to find fresh bread and croissants. Nausicaa was well worth the visit on our only rainy day but it was very, very busy. We have a saying- If the children are happy then so are the rest of the family - and this was very true. We all enjoyed a very relaxing time and thank our hosts for offering such a perfect place to stay. We regularly used to travel south from Calais with our caravan to seek out the Med and knew nothing about this little corner of N France - real little gem - an Opal! Thank you!

Wir hatten einen entspannten und erholsamen Urlaub. Das Wetter war beständig und nicht zu heiß. Auf dauerhaften Wind ist Verlass. Die Umgebung bietet sich an für schöne Ausflüge. Kleine Küstenorte mit schönen Stränden sind mit dem Auto in 15 bis 20 Minuten erreichbar. Das lichtdurchflutete Haus bietet auch an kühlen Abenden viel Platz zum Wohlfühlen. Das große Grundstück ist ideal für ausgelassenes Freispiel der Kinder.

The property is located on the edge of the village and is surrounded by fields. The nearest shops are available in Guines, a small town around 3 km away. Flat, sandy beaches are approximately 15 minute’s drive away, though facilities available at some are limited. Though the floor plans shown are accurate, the photograph is somewhat misleading as it is in fact approximately only half of the property which is actually available to the renter. Consequently, the available space is much smaller than the picture implies. However, it was sufficient as a holiday let for a family of four. The property was generally in good order, though would benefit from some routine maintenance including simple steps such as checking all the lightbulbs work. At the time of my visit, approximately 12 of the bulbs were not working! Cleanliness was good though deeper cleaning between renters is recommended. Additional attention is required within the shower cubicle to remove mould and under furniture to clear dust and dirt. Jean-Marc and Natalie, the owners, are both very friendly and welcoming, and were readily available when additional assistance was required. Overall, it is a nice property in a lovely location with two friendly owners. We hope to return in the future.

Had a memorable week at this lovely property. Its in a beautiful setting with fields surrounding it. However it is also near to all amenities with supermarkets close by. Jean Marc and Nathalie were very welcoming and helpful and there are lots of helpful leaflets in the cottage giving information about the surrounding area. We are looking forward to returning in the future.
