    We stayed as part of a stop over before we hit the tunnel. The accommodation is a beautiful renovated house in the centre of the old town. The room was enormous with vast height sealing and double bunk beds with an additional supper king bed. Additional relaxation room and gym room. The massage chair is amazing! Street parking outside was perfect and the host was lovely putting on a beautiful french breakfast. Recommend for any family or other wise, more than a stop over realy the the little town has some lovely bars and food.

    We loved everything! Slight noise from road but to be expected given amazing location. And didn't interrupt our sleep (quietened down after 10ish)

    Amazing location in old town. Valerie and dog Mila are warm, welcoming and friendly. Made us feel right at home and took the time to give us some recommendations to eat and do in Boulogne sur mer. Very helpful with bike storage. Immaculately clean and appointed house- stunning presentation. Room and beds very comfortable. Family room was spacious for family of 5 and even had a small fridge. Breakfast super, amazing home pressed orange juice and local bread/pastries at the family breakfast table. Massage chair and gym amazing!! Do try the massage chair- perfect after a 7 hour drive. We would love to come back and spend more time in Boulogne sur mer

    Nothing really. We'd booked ages ago and arrived after a long drive, and hadn't quite realised it was a B&B with live-in owners, so were a little surprised and felt a bit bad when our kids were making a bit of noise - but we were made to feel very welcome and would definitely stay again.

    Location was outstanding - within the old town and minutes from the restaurants and city walls. There was no parking on the street when we arrived but there are lots of free spaces extremely close by - less than 5 mins walk. Valerie was exceptionally attentive and found a space outside and coned it off so we could move closer if desired. She was incredibly apologetic that we were leaving so early that we wouldn't make breakfast: we hadn't been expecting to eat so it wasn't an issue for us. It was great to find a family room with spacious comfy beds. It was a little noisy on the road outside but we all slept well. The bathroom was exceptionally clean with a good shower.

    One blackout shutter not working

    Everything was perfect, the only downside was that the blackout shutter on one of the two large windows in the bedroom was broken. It didn't impact sleep too much. Otherwise very pleasant experience, amazing hostess who gave us great tips for eating, played baby football with my 7 year old son after making us a lovely breakfast and was very friendly and chatty 😊

    At a time of our stay the outside shutter of one of the room windows was broken, which was kind of nuisance because of the noise from the street during the night. Alse the blinds in the bathroom could not be fully closed so the privacy was not 100%.

    Fabulous breakfasts, great house in the historical center. Valerie was a wonderful hostess, showing interest and giving helpful advice. It was not possible to park directly at the street, but there is a big free car park at Rue de la Tour Françoise, some 15 minutes walk from there. Plus Milo the dog and the massage chair were great attractions for our kids.

    Excellent location in the old town walking distance from major sights, pubs and restaurants. Beautiful property with accomodating host, good breakfast and all the amenities you need. Perfect for families! Unfortunately only stayed one night but would have enjoyed a couple of days more to explore. Definitely will choose this property again for our next stay. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

    Nothing really We were lucky to get the last parking space so I guess that might have been a problem but we didn't find it one.

    Valerie was lovely and very helpful before and during the trip The location is central and easy to find. The room was clean and well appointed. Bonus of the gym and massage chair - brilliant for kids to use to unwind. Valerie's dog is lovely and very friendly with children Breakfast was perfect Would recommend for families
