Why stay here ...

This friendly site, set in the peaceful, wooded grounds of a 19th century château, is ideally located for a stopover at the beginning or end of a holiday, but also worth a longer stay. You'll be greeted warmly by the English-speaking staff at reception, and children will be kept entertained with a pool, games room and play area. Chateau out-building houses the good restaurant and bar.

Dogs will enjoy walks through the woodland, and can be taken onto some beaches nearby (ask at reception). Many visitors overlook the area’s attractions, but the rugged Opal Coast is well worth exploring. The port town of Boulogne-sur-Mer has an array of ancient monuments that bear witness to its 2,000-year history, while Saint-Omer’s cathedral and public gardens are a delight to discover and Eperlecques’ Blockhaus, where early V1 bombs were launched on London, makes for a chilling but interesting trip.

Book the restaurant

We arrived very tired at the restaurant and were turned away because they were fully booked. A lovely site that remains tranquil even though it is big. People come back here year after year and not just for an overnighter and I can see why. Faultless site. We explored the... Show more

We visited this site twice in June for one night stop overs but intend to go back for a longer period as we enjoyed our time there. The site is approximately 40 minutes from Calais port and if you set the sat nav to avoid tolls you get a... Show more

We stayed here in May last year so apologies for the delay in reviewing. I lost my notebook! This was the first stop on our eight week holiday touring France. Really nice site with good bar and restaurant facilities. There is no on site shop but there is a supermarket within... Show more

Thoroughly enjoyed our stopover at this delightful site.

Excellent welcome from Julien, who speaks English fluently. Beautiful site was not busy, endless grass pitches to choose from. Site is very well maintained. Beautiful mature trees give shade, many other pitches in full sun. Great activity facilities, 2 outdoor swimming pools were being prepared for the season, tennis court,... Show more

Great stopover site, worth a few days at least

Stayed here having come across on the tunnel - being only 30 minutes from the terminal it is an easy journey. Whilst it is a great stopover location it is more than that, there are many historical locations in the area which could easily fill up to a week and the... Show more
