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.

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.

Gite Opale Inn - Property ID 642682 (August 26 - September 9 2017)

We really enjoyed our stay in this gite; it was clean, spacious (for the two of us), and was just as described, and Nathalie and Jean-Marc were very helpful. It was ideally situated to explore the places in and around the Calais area that we have bypassed at 80mph on the autoroute down the years!!

Excellent cottage with attentive owners

We had a very enjoyable and relaxing stay in this lovely cottage. It was clean and modern and lived up to all expectations. The views are beautiful and the area is very peaceful yet close to shops, restaurants and places to visit. The owners were very helpful and quick to answer any questions. They have prepared some useful guides to local attractions and places of interest. We visited Le Touquet, Boulogne, Brugge, St Omer, Calais and enjoyed cliff top and beach walks to Wissant whilst enjoying the view of England across the channel.

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....

Erholsame Tage

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.
