Private & Easy going

4 adults stayed. Come and go as you please. Very clean, excellent water quality, loads of plates, pans etc in kitchen. Good showers. Excellent communications. Good fridge freezer. Dishwasher, Fantastic fire for when chilly. Oven worked well. No problems with any appliances. You need a car (as stated in the listing)though we walked to Le Coupole and had a walk to the lovely supermarket at Helfaut and visited the wargraves in the churchyard. Ideal location as very central for visiting all WW1 & WW2 locations, beaches and loads of other interesting places to see. Aldi at Wizernes or Carrefour at St Omer. We had a great time, really interesting. The gite has loads of leaflets for information. Nice, clean & quiet area.

Tutto come elencati e promesso. Pulito e moderne. Zone tranquilla e silenziosa. Centrale per visitare il nord della Francia, in macchina o bicicletta. Soggiorni tranquillo e piacevole senza sorprese. L'unico problema è il fatto, che c'è troppo da vedere e visitare per una settimana.

Die Unterkunft war genau richtig für einen Urlaub mit kleinen Kindern, da der Garten zum spielen einlud. Die Wohnung war geräumig und der Vermieter nett. Bei der Anreise standen wir im Austausch wann wir ankommen und als wir da waren war der Vermieter schon bereit. Lediglich die Lage erfordert etwas Orga, da der Ort weit außerhalb von Infrastruktur ist. Aber die FeWo selbst ist absolut empfehlenswert.

Zunächst ein Dank an unseren Gastgeber Stanley Brasseur. Er hat auf unsere Anfragen schnell und kompetent reagiert. Vor Ort wurden wir sehr herzlich empfangen. Er hat uns die Wohnung ausführlich erklärt und uns mit viel Informationsmaterial versorgt.Die Wohnung ist sehr schön eingerichtet; es gibt eine überdachte Terrasse, auf der man sich auch bei schlechterem Wetter aufhalten kann.Zwei Schlafzimmer mit Dusche/WC liegen im Obergeschoß. Wir haben uns aus Bequemlichkeit für das Schlafzimmer im EG entschieden.Die Küche ist sehr gut ausgestattet und gab für uns als Hobbyköche keinen Grund zur Beanstandung.Helfaut ist ein kleines Dorf ohne richtige Einkaufsmöglichkeiten.Der nächste Bäcker oder Metzger ist im Nachbardorf, ca. 4 km entfernt.In Saint Omer (ca. 8 km entfernt) gibt es allerdings größere Supermärkte, darunter der sehr zu empfehlende Hypermarche Auchan. Der Samstagsmarkt ist auf jeden Fall zu empfehlenEin PKW ist u. E. auf jeden Fall erforderlich.Die Kleinstadt St. Omer ist typisch für eine nordfranzösische Stadt und absolut zu empfehlen.Auch sonst kann man sich in der Region die Zeit gut vertreiben.Trotz sehr wechselhaftem Wetter (Hitzetage, Regen, starke Temperaturrückgänge und immer wieder stürmische Winde) war der Aufenthalt erholsam.Für Familien mit Kindern ist die FeWo auf jeden Fall geeignet.Wir kommen gerne wieder einmal.

Gîte très propre et très bien équipé

Au calme, excellent emplacement pour visiter la région. Bien adapté pour un séjour en famille ou entre amis avec des chambres ayant chacune leur salle de bain et leur WC. Attention cependant aux escaliers, il faut être assez mobile voire agile pour les chambres a l’étage. Ne conviendra pas par exemple avec des petits enfants.

Sehr angenehmer Vermieter

Das perfekte Landflair auf schönem sicherem Gelände. Der Vermieter ist nett, zuvorkommend und jederzeit ansprechbar, da er mit seinen großen Kindern im Haupthaus wohnt. Beide Ferienwohnungen sind sehr vollständig ausgerüstet, sauber und wirklich schön. Die Betten sind gut und die Sanitärtechnik neu. Alles funktioniert und die Aussenanlage ist für Kinder und Erwachsene wertvoll und erholsam. Die Lage zu Städten und Blongne sur Mer sowie dem Cap Griz Nez und Cap Blance Nez ist gut und sehr empfehlenswert. Ein Becker ist 2,3 km entfernt und sehr viel Infomaterial zu Aktivitäten vorhanden. Fazit: Runde Sache in Traumhafter Lage zu allem was Nordfrankreich zu bieten hat! Die Vehrings aus dem Münsterland
