La Grange

The converted barn has loads of character, so a stray bit of dust or the odd dead spider doesn't seem worth worrying about. It isn't an operating theatre. We had a spacious, cosy room during our November stay, and Natalie and Adrien were wonderful company and made us feel like royalty. I could have chatted with Adrien for hours if we'd had the time. We'd be delighted to stay again.

This is a lovely way to get a feel for the real countryside and its people instead of rushing through northern France. It's calm and charming, with a great garden for kids, and the hosts, Adrien and Nathalie, are super friendly. If you love motorbikes, you'll find it especially special. It's also only an hour from the channel crossings, which makes it a handy stop when travelling to or from the UK. Highly recommended.

Natalie brought a big box of toys up for our two boys, who loved it and stayed happily entertained. Breakfast was lovely too, with fresh baguette and jam, chocolate milk for the boys, and great coffee. We had a wonderful night at Chez Natalie in a beautiful, spacious room in a converted barn. The beds were comfortable, and the ensuite shower was perfect after a long drive. Merci beaucoup Natalie.

A quiet little village in the French countryside, just 10 minutes off the motorway. They were happy to let us bring our dog.
