The house
This 300 year old 3 bedroom farmhouse with FREE WIFI is in a traditional French village in a rural region of northern France, one hour away from Calais and Eurotunnel.. This spacious property has original features throughout and has been tastefully decorated with all mod cons considered. It has exposed beams throughout, including the fireplace mantle dating from 1781. The cottage has a large, well equipped handbuilt kitchen, separate utility room and wc, large living room with leather sofas and french doors to the terrace and garden. Upstairs is a family shower room and three bedrooms - two large double bedrooms (one with ensuite shower-room) and a twin bedroom - all rooms have exposed beams. This property is situated in a small village close to Montreuil sur Mer and is in the heart of the village with a communual petanque court opposite to enjoy. Offroad parking is provided in the flowered courtyard and the garden is enclosed and laid to lawn with views across the fields. Towels, bed linen, gas and water are included, although there is a small charge for the electric. We provide a bottle of wine to enjoy on arrival to start your holiday off in a great way after your drive. Freeview TV is available or enjoy a DVD.
Relax on the patio, play in the garden or enjoy a BBQ or spend an evening in the superb games room with traditional table football, billiard table and bar. There is an amazing boulangerie in the next village with fresh bread and pastries to enjoy, just a short drive away but well worth it. Visit the sandy beaches of the coast, or explore the lovely villages and towns along this unspoilt area of France and enjoy the traditional weekly markets or seasonal Sunday brocantes. Ideal for cycling or walking along the quiet country lanes. Visit St Omer with its lovely squares or play the challenging 18 hole golf course just 20 minutes away at Lumbres, one of the best in France. Not to be missed is the walled city of Montreuil sur Mer with is gastronomic restaurants and panoramic views from the ramparts or head for the sandy beaches on the Cote d'Opal. The Somme region is not far away and history lovers will enjoy Arras with its WW1 memories, cobbled squares and museums, visit Albert and Peronne with their superb museums. Chocolate lovers will be tempted by a visit to the Belgian city of Brugges with its canals and pretty shops, just over 90 minutes away by motorway. Whether you want sophisticated resorts like Le Touquet with designer shopping, restaurants, beaches and casino, or more unspoilt coastal treasures with sleepy seaside resorts, there is a beach to please everyone

Reviews
Anke Hordijk from Zandvoort,
Ondanks het slechte weer hebben we een heerlijke vakantieweek gehad in Rose Cottage. Het huisje is precies goed voor 2 personen en een hond. De eigenaren zijn betrokken en staan klaar met tips en goede adviezen en Sarah raadde ons een populair visrestaurant (le Chatillon) aan in Boulogne sur Mer.
Ook waren we erg gecharmeerd van Le Cocquempot in Montreuil wat een bijzonder sfeervol stadje is op amper 30 minuten rijden van de cottage.
De omgeving is verrassend mooi met een groen heuvellandschap met super mooie vergezichten in een rustige stukje van Frankrijk. Kleine dorpjes waar je nog een bakkertje treft en waar je lekker stokbrood en croissants kunt kopen. Handig voor de volgende dag want de dichtbij zijnde supermarkt ligt op ca 7 km.
Sarah and David it was lovely to meet you and maybe untill next time.Comment from Mrs Sarah Bing
It was a pleasure to meet you both and your lovely dog. So glad you enjoyed this wonderful part of France and we’d love to welcome you back. À bientôt

Freek en Kitty Gerritsen from Oirschot,
Een prachtig huis in een, niet verwachtte, heuvelachtige prachtige omgeving! Hele groene omgeving en met de stranden dichtbij.
Een fantastische ontvangst en super lieve aandacht van onze gastheer en gastvrouw, David en Sarah.
Wat hebben zij een werk verricht om zo’n prachtig huis van een oude schuur te maken. Lekker ruim huis met alles wat je nodig hebt. Maar ook zeker geen overbodige spullen. Sfeervol ingericht!
Heerlijk afgesloten tuin zodat onze twee hondjes vrij rond konden lopen.
We hadden helaas de pech dat het weer koud en regenachtig was. Maar ons zeker vermaakt in de omgeving.
Mocht je willen fietsen dan kun je fantastisch fietsen over de aangelegde fietspaden aan de kust.Comment from Mrs Sarah Bing
Thank you for your lovely review, it was a pleasure to meet you both and your fun dogs. This area is truly wonderful and it’s great that you were able to experience it.
We’d love to see you again
À bientôt
Sarah and DavidPaul & Jane W from Snodland,
This is an idyllic, original French farmhouse situated in a peaceful village, renovated to a very high standard, whilst retaining many of its quaint features. It is fully equipped beyond normal expectations, very clean, comfortable beds and there are clear instructions for everything as well as helpful information of the region. The outside garden is spacious, with sun loungers, table and chairs and a large grassed area for children to play. The separate barn games room is an added bonus. The owners are a delightful and approachable couple dedicated to making sure you enjoy your stay. We will most definitely be returning with our family.

Please note that for 2021 due to Covid we are leaving longer gap between bookings giving us ample time to fully prepare the cottage for your arrival. This includes deep cleaning the property, changing all the bedding (mattress protectors and duvets) on all beds and as Covid is a respiratory disease we are asking guests to bring their own pillows. If this is not possible for you then we can provide pillows at €5 per person. We ask that you arrive at 6pm on your arrival day and leave on departure day by 9am so we can implement these procedures, unless otherwise arranged. We hope that you understand our commitment to providing you with a completely sanitised property.
