Pros:

Nice building. Convenient for the tunnel.

Cons:

Small un air-conditioned room. Somewhat amateurish and expensive for what one gets. Best suited for events, methinks.

Sad!
Pros:

The room was comfortable and clean.

Cons:

Although the food was very good, the problem was that we were eating in the bar as dogs were not allowed in the restaurant, and the restaurant was really busy; in fact, the staff were stretched and we were forgotten in the bar so our meal took 3 hours, which was far too long. Although everyone apologised, we felt abandoned and very sad as the food was much better than usual (we've been coming here for about 30 years). It is unusual in France not to allow well behaved dogs in the restaurant.

Beautiful French chateau with exceptional food of superb quality
Pros:

Absolutely beautiful chateau only 20 mins drive from Calais. Set in woodland and stunning interior. Food was exceptional both in quality and price and would highly recommend. We were staying in a separate annex on the grounds which was perfect for a family of 5 and very comfortably appointed. We will definitely be back and is a hidden gem in the area.

Pros:

Very quiet, just near the autoroute, grounds to walk around in, and good sized rooms.

Cons:

Not cheap but it’s a fine dining place, great food and for what is provided the food is excellent value for money given the quality but no “simple” options on the menu.
