In July/August 2016 we spend two wonderful weeks in this lovely renovated house near the fantastic beaches of the Cote d´Opale in Northern France. We were a total of 9 people with different needs due to age and health (one blind person vs. active children), and we were all very satisfied with the house, the garden, the winter garden and the extra-facilities, like a sauna and a hot tub. The house is extremely well equipped (washing machine, dish-washer, big flat screen, family sofa, 2 refrigerators, hoover etc.) and cooking in the big and open kitchen, with so many pots and pans, spices/herbs and other kitchen devices, was just like cooking at home. The garden is big enough for playing outdoor-games like football or volleyball in small groups. Also our dog enjoyed running around in the garden, which is perfectly surrounded by fences and bushes. We definitely give an extra plus for the amount of bath-rooms and toilets - 1 bathroom and toilet for the room downstairs, 1 toilet downstairs next to the entrance of the house, 4 bathrooms upstairs (for 5 rooms) with a total of 3 toilets. This makes it really comfortable for everyone in the morning, even for 10 guests. About the surrounding: there is a big Inter-Marche in 2 km distance, but there are also plenty of small villages with markets and shops nearby (Audreselle, Wissant, Amleteuse, ...) where you can also find lovely restaurants, especially very good fish-restaurants. We loved walking with the dog at the sandy and very calm beaches (Tardinghen´s plage and les dunes de slack were our favorites), but be aware that swimming in the atlantic ocean is for the tough ones only (very windy and lower temperatures than the Mediterranean)! The sunsets at Cap Griz-Nez (about 10min by car from the house) and Cap Blanc-Nez (about 20min by car from the house) were breath-taking, and sometimes we could also see the cliffs from dover on the other side of the channel. This region of France is not crowded by tourists and the locals seem to be extremely friendly to visitors. A basic knowledge of French is recommended, as hardly anybody speaks English or other languages. At the end a very little negative comment on the house: the house itself is very clairaudient and the staircase creaks quite loud. So if you get up in the morning earlier than the other guests, you have to be super-careful not to wake up the rest of the house. Dirk and Sofie were great and friendly hosts with many suggestions for a perfect stay.
