Exceptional host and property

The host for this property was very welcoming and attentive. The views are spectacular and the breakfast was wonderful beautifully fresh eggs from the chickens you see around the property. I did expect it to be attached to a shopping centre and expected it to have a restaurant as these were in the hotels.com description and neither of these statements are true. But there is a shopping centre within 3 miles and by the sea there are a number of restaurants which are a short drive away .

I cannot say enough great things about this place! We picked it for the idyllic, country location and ended up being stunned by the gorgeous, spacious room (bedroom 1 sitting room masterbath). The breakfast was a delicious variety of homemade jams, local cheeses, eggs from the owner's chickens, and breads. Wish we had planned to stay longer!

We left before staying. The access to the room and terrace was dangerous and inaccessible to anybody with a minor disability with steps up to 14ins high and no railings in front of the door. There was no shower and therefore bathing facilities not usable. There was no working WIFI. The request for dinner was not to honoured and there was no way that one could back to the property in the dark safely.

Peace and quiet.

A great oasis of calm before the trip back across the chanel. After a long drive up from the south this is a peaceful place to spend the night before a morning crossing being only 20 mins from the tunnel. The rooms are styled in a rustic way which we happen to like, the bed was one of the most comfortable we slept in during the trip.

A pleasant rural B and B

The owner was very friendly and helpful and speaks good English. The property is easy to find and has good parking, and secure. The room was very spacious and clean, and had a nice outside area with tables and chairs. Breakfast is very good, with a good selection, with fresh fruit and homemade jams. I had one evening meal, which was excellent. There is a kettle and tea and coffee in the room, but if you stay more than one night, the room is not serviced, so this is not replenished. There is a small refrigerator stroke mini bar, but this is empty.

A delightful surprise

A delayed Chunnel crossing meant a late arrival but Alex was very accommodating and arranged a table a good local restaurant in Wimille for us. Here we were greeted like old friends with Kir on the house. This is normal for Alex Factory, it was explained. After this we spent a comfortable night and enjoyed a good breakfast. Everything about this stay was great which compensated for the earlier frustrations with Eurotunnel.

Looking for a very Boutique stop-over.

We had a very pleasant stop-over before catching our early EuroShuttle train back to Folkstone. The plans the owner (Alex) has for the farm include an indoor swimming pool and self-catering chalets for 2 & 4 occupants. We had a pleasant dinner at a Brasserie down on the seafront at Wimereaux which is about 10mins drive away.

Hotel not as expected.

Took about 10 minutes to find someone to show us the room. No information given as to breakfast times, wifi or anything else. It didn't help that contrary to the details when booking no english was spoken. Having read a few reviews we had expected to have something cooked at breakfast but that never happened. There was also no mention of wifi not being available. Disappointed as the more recent reviews had all stated how brilliant it was. Do not consider that it was value for money.

Unusual place.

This is not a hotel it is a b and b and is still under construction, I am sure it will be nice when finished however it currently looks like work in progress. It is in the countryside and has a tiny pond with a duck or two and a few donkeys next door (if you like animals). We booked via Hotels.com and arrived on the Saturday afternoon as planned, unfortunately Alex the owner had text our landline to confirm that we were still coming, obviously we did not receive this message and our booked (guaranteed) room was not available on arrival. Luckily Alex let us use the wifi to get another hotel which was 15 miles away and gave us a coffee. I personally won't return as it was too rural for us though we wish him well.

Superb hotel in the heart of the countryside.

This is a gorgeous hotel in the heart of the French countryside. The rooms have been beautifully designed, are spacious and extremely comfortable. We stayed as a family with a 2 and 6 year old and the layout of the open plan rooms was fantastic for us. The farm yard animals were a real treat for the us all, the children loved the donkeys, chickens and ducks. The breakfast was lovely, especially eating it outside in the fresh country air. I really cannot recommend this hotel enough, we would definitely stay here again.

Unpretentious, friendly and welcoming

Small scale, family run hotel where even the farm animals help to make you feel welcome. The remote setting is very peaceful and the service is very homely. Just be aware that a donkey's head may suddenly appear at your window. Fear not - far from being reminiscent of a scene from 'The Godfather', this is one of the handful of farm animals that help to make the experience charmingly unique.

Great escape from city life

A very special place, located within short drive from Calais port. The area is a beautiful green open to fields, the rooms are warm, clean and welcoming, excellent breakfast, you don't need more for a romantic break. Alex is himself very accommodating and makes you feel like home. its clear that he really loves what he created. We also got an upgrade which was much appreciated.
