Spacious comfortable house in a peaceful area

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 :-)

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

Lovely

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.

Peaceful

As this was our second visit we have very much enjoyed the place. Very tranquil and spacious. We loved the views all around the property. We certainly will revisit. We had a warm welcome from Mr & Mrs Joan. Excellent place very near Calais and yet again in the country side. Thank you. Danielle & Peter.

Super House

We were welcomed by the charming Monsieur and Madame Joan A delightful house, very well equipped and although so near to Calais, a tranquil location. A week was not enough to explore this area; so often overlooked by those travelling further south. Guines is a lovely town with a thriving Friday market, supermarket and plenty of local facilities. The forest provides some good walks as do the coastal paths. Wimereux is a lively resort and Sangatte has an easily accessible sandy beach. The tide was in at Wissant and Tardinghen so not able to comment on these beaches. The porcelain museum in Desvres was well worth a visit too. It is certainly a property we would recommend - in fact we would like to live there!

Peace and quiet but close to the beach

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!

Holiday 20222

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.

Het is een ruime woning met veel ruimte er om heen. Het is van veel gemakken voorzien! Door de grote ramen heb je prachtig uitzicht!Het ligt op een centrale plek. 15 minuten van Calais. De supermarkt en bakker zijn een dorp verderop. Er is veel te zien en te doen in de regio. Nathalie heeft een map gemaakt met folders in verschillende categorieën. We misten wel een parasol bij het terras..

Erholsame Tage in einer Gegend, die nicht jeder kennt

Wir durften sehr spontan unseren Urlaub im sehr schönen Haus der Familie Joan verbringen. Das Haus ist toll eingerichtet und bietet viel Platz, auch um sich (gerade mit älteren Kindern) auch mal aus dem Weg zu gehen. Im Haus gibt es Ordner mit Flyern von Ausflügen und Sachen, die man in der Region erleben kann. Es ist alles vorhanden, was man an Annehmlichkeiten gebrauchen kann, vor allem eine Spülmaschine. Als Ausgangspunkt für viele Tagesausflüge ist das Haus ideal: Dunkerque, St. Omer, Calais, Bologne-sur-mer... In alle Richtungen ist es nicht weit. Die Gegend ist bei uns in Deutschland nicht sehr urlaubsbekannt, bietet aber tatsächlich vielfältige Angebote: Museen zum Weltkrieg, Aquarien, tolle Wanderwege, kilometerweite Strände... Da findet wirklich jeder was. Bei unserem Aufenthalt war auch das Wetter sehr angenehm, es gab jeden Tag Sonnenschein, allerdings immer mit Brise (gut zum Drachen steigen lassen). Wir werden die Gegend um die Departements Nord / Pas-de-Calais gerne empfehlen, sowie auch das wunderbare Haus der Familie Joan.

Erholsame Tage in ruhiger Umgebung mit kurzen Wegen zu tollen Orten

Wir hatten eine nette Zeit in diesem schönen Ferienhaus. Die Vermieter sind sehr freundlich und haben täglich bei uns nachgefragt oder kamen beim Haus vorbei. Es gibt tolle Orte in der Nähe, alle mit kostenlosen Parkplätzen. Das Cap weißen und auch das der grauen Nasen, waren toll zum Spazieren, der Strand in Calais wunderschön. Leider hat das Wetter nicht so mitgespielt während unseres Aufenthaltes, aber trotzdem kam dueErholung nicht zu kurz.

Gemütlich

Der Aufenthalt in der Gite Opale war angenehm. Die Gastgeber sind sehr nett und hilfsbereit. Das lichtdurchflutete Haus liegt, wie bereits auf den Fotos zusehen ist, außerhalb des Ortes und daher sehr ruhig. Hier findet sich ein sehr schöner Ausgangspunkt zur Besichtigung der umliegenden Strände, Ortschaften und Städte. Wir hatten eine sehr entspannte, ruhige Zeit und möchten uns an dieser Stelle gerne auch noch einmal bei unseren Gastgebern, für die sehr nette Einweisung und Verabschiedung bedanken. Merci

Gros potentiel mais....

Maison conforme au photos et au descriptif ( même si les espaces vert ne sont pas aussi bien entretenu) portail en panne, vaisselle sale dans les placards, bouilloire sale et pleine de calcaire ( morceaux au fond)etc... et ménage vite fait donc mal fait... Cest dommage car le gite est tres calme et la maison est jolie, il faudrait juste un peu plus d'investissement pour que la location soit parfaite. Il faudrait changer le micro-ondes ( sale et modèle d'époque, ) la vaisselle ( dépareillé au possible) et la literie car dur dur pour passer de bonne nuits... ( matelas de 10 cm). Pas un tres gros investissements mais indispensables a mon humbles avis et surtout revoir le ménage.... Les propriétaires sont sympathiques....
