Simplicity, character and a genuine welcome make La Louisière special. Madame, natural and unpretentious, is a great hostess and knows lots about the local area. The traditional bedrooms have well-chosen colour schemes and neat-as-a-pin bathrooms; touches of fun, too. Surrounded by chestnut trees, the farmhouse backs onto the gardens of the château and is wonderfully quiet; beautiful Ronsard roses climb up the walls of the cart shed and there are eggs to collect from Madame’s hens. Tennis nearby, bikes, tractors, horses and an old-fashioned playground – it’s bliss for children and a fuss free atmosphere for parents.
Stopped here overnight on our way back to Calais, we were very warmly welcomed by the French owners. Booked a table at the local restaurant for us. Warm room, comfortable large bed, great breakfast, highly recommended, the proprietor even came out in the rain to wish us a safe journey when we left, a really lovely couple with a beautiful house. Nous avons été très chaleureusement accueillis par les propriétaires français. Réservé une table dans un restaurant local pour nous. Chambre chaude, grand lit confortable, eexcellent petit déjeuner, fortement recommandé.
