November 2013

We visited Étaples Military Cemetery whilst in France during Remembrance Sunday.

At home I always attend the service and as we were away, I wanted to pay my respect to all those whatever nationality who have lost their lives in past wars.

The cemetery is one of the largest in the area and has thousands of graves spanning two world wars and those of several different nationalities are buried there.

It was a very moving experience and we were humbled by the enormity of the place. If you're in the area, it really is worth visiting and somehow it puts our lives and how we live them today into perspective.

"The property was good and we enjoy our stay. Just a few points might help. Found upstairs very clostrafobic as no opening windows in one room and didn't like the ladder going up to the top bedroom very steep. "

"A lovely house in a lovely area, good vibes and lots of space for a family get together. We would love to return one day"

"We had a great experience being at the house, it’s so close to the beach we went for daily walks with the dogs. Everything was catered for by the hosts, communicating with them was easy and they accommodated us when we asked for a friteuse :-) Would highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a nice stay in Le Touquet!"

"We have had a brilliant week at this beautiful villa. The location is perfect, the beach is beautiful and the villa is large and well equipped. The host was very friendly and laid back. Just a note, if you are taking your own bedding the beds are king size doubles not standard doubles and the pillows are square rather than rectangular!! The pool is absolutely lovely and you have lots of garden space and a lovely little short cut to the beach which is huge! We went as a large group of adults and...

"Lovely house, well looked after and great communication before, during and after our stay including all the information about facilities in the area we could possibly want. Perfect placed for cycling for all ages. There were no bikes in the garage as per description but the recommended bike hire was excellent with bikes for ages 1 -71! The house is lovely, very well heated with plenty of room for all 12 of us and space in the garage when the children got too loud!"

"Das Haus war okay,der Garten war gut.

"The House for us was very good."

"Everything was great we had a Fab time and we will be back!"

"les pièces du bas à vivre sont grandes et permettent à tout le monde de se retrouver et de partager des bons moments. La cuisine est très bien équipée et aménagée. Le contact avec les gérants s'est très bien passé et ils ont été extrêmement arrangeant. Le bémol vient d'un problème d'humidité dans la maison, surtout aux étages supérieurs. Il ne nous a pas empêché des passer un bon séjour, ceci dit. L'annonce pourrait également préciser qu'il faut emmener des draps ou en louer sur place."
