Good stay
Just right for what we needed. 3 pairs of adults stayed here to visit the area. Top floor bedroom had smallish beds but ok. Great price and everything works. Could do with a bit of updating but generally in good order. Lovely and quiet.

Lovely traditional French cottage. Everything we needed for our stay. There was a little confusion with the rooms as the listing stated 3 bedroom and also 4 bedrooms but said sleeps 8. So we were confused. However when we got there there was 4 bedroom. Really spacious rooms. Thanks for a lovely stay.

Add on break
Le Petit Wissant is a traditional French Gite in a small village close to the channel ports and the Opal Coast. The gite is very quirky as you would expect - main bedroom is huge, second double is cosy but there are two access doors so you don't have to climb over each other. There is a super little bedroom for an older child on the ground floor and an amazing twin children's bedroom up in the eaves. This has a huge play area set up for the children - no so good for adults due to the sloping ceilings. Our grandchildren tend to get up in the night so we thought it was a bit dangerous for them to sleep up there as the floors also had different levels due to beams - other children will cope fine. Everything was in the gite that you could possibly need, including a washing machine and dishwasher. Towels and bed linen are not provided as the norm but are available on request for a reasonable fee and we took this option but you do need to ask. There is also a cleaning fee to be paid. There is good wifi and digital TV but you need to have a knowledge of French as there were no English channels. Alhough in a very quiet and peaceful location, a few minutes drive on roads with no cars you are at the local shops and towns and the coast is no more that half an hour away. Plenty of museums and landmarks to visit too. We plan to return again next year. A great find and a great stay.

Perfect weekend getaway
This property was exactly what we needed for our first holiday out since the COVID-19 pandemic began. We wanted to get away for the weekend and enjoy a bit of the area. Mission accomplished! The house is great, very comfortable beds and furniture overall. The weather was terrible so we didn't get to enjoy the patio, but it sure looked nice! The place was great for our 2 small, old dogs as well. Easy access to grass and the place was easy to keep clean due to the tile floor all throughout and no rugs. Since this is the first VRBO we've stayed at since the pandemic, we don't know what may be different. We did mention we didn't have any way to wash dishes and the owners promptly brought us dish soap and hand towels. But we were still lacking soap and linens for the bathroom. We happened to bring beach towels and we used our body soap, so we made it work. Again, this may be a COVID-related change, but perhaps our advice is to ask about linens and/or kitchen stock in advance. First time using an induction oven which was not obvious on how to use. After many attempts at pressing buttons (and googling instructions) it seems it was a matter of pressing the lock button in just the right way and we finally got it working. Perhaps some brief instructions nearby would be very helpful! The owners communicated very well and Patrick even came by to say hi, which was very nice. Our 5-year old daughter loved the attic space to play in (but she didn't sleep up there). The place is well-located to explore the area. The owner even gave us some restaurant recommendations which we did go to one of the recommendations and thoroughly enjoyed it. We would certainly come back if we were to return to the same area.

Lovely week, hope we will return !
We booked Little Wissant because we have 2 young children who don’t relish long journeys in the car. Being only 15 minutes from Calais we were not sure what to expect. We need not have worried, we were in a lovely farming village and the property was beautiful. Much larger than we expected with a large garden Little Wissant was a great choice. Well equipped yet rustic - the girls enjoyed the run of the converted loft with toys. Check in and check out were easy - the owners are friendly but we were left to our own devices for the week. It would have been a waste to only stay 1 night. Day trips from the property are almost limitless. Each road out of the village has its own character and soon ends up in rural northern France which is much underrated. We did Agincourt, Montreuil, Le Touquet-Paris-Plage, Nausicaa, Les 2 Caps and St Omer. It would have been easy to do a completely different but equally interesting itinery - especially when the kids are old enough for world war 1 and 2 history. So all in all highly recommended and we hope to return some day soon! Merci The Lancaster’s of Woking

We had a comfortable overnight stay. The cottage is in a nice quiet area. Be aware there is an extra charge for bed linen for which we had to pay €24 on arrival. This wasn't made very clear until we had some communication from the property owners a week or so before we travelled. This communication was also hampered by language barrier issues although with the use of a translator app, we were able to decipher the messages received and were able to reply as best we could in French in the same way.

Welcoming, cosy, peaceful.
A delightful base for our stay in the Calais area. Warm, cosy and welcoming. We couldn’t have asked for a better base. Our visit in December was as good as it could be. Coming in from the cold after a long drive we were met by our host, shown in to a lovely sitting area with a Christmas tree in the corner and warmth. The house is well equipped , excellent value.

Wonderful
Wonderful, this was the third time staying this year in one of Patrick and Anne-sophie's cottages,this time we stayed in the larger three bedroomed, which was equally,if not more amazing,the cottage was scrupulously clean, and the deco beautiful, , Anne-Sophie has done an amazing job. The cottage has everything you need,the wrap around garden was huge, safe and secure for our dog George, plenty of space to chase his ball. We will now only ever stay in one of Patrick and Anne-Sophies cottages, we have stayed in many gites/ cottages over the 20yrs in France, but these cottages are truly exceptional, well done to you both. Looking to book again very soon, ,thankyou.

Comfortable and quiet stop before the long drive home.
A very peaceful place to get a good nights sleep before the Calais crossing and drive home. Could do with some better curtains and blinds to help the children get an early night.

Heel leuk vakantiehuis! Alles wat je nodig hebt is aanwezig. Niet heel erg schoon. Grote omheinde tuin maar als er gasten zijn in de andere woning op het grondstuk moet je steeds opletten of de poort dicht is en kun je de hond alleen in overleg los laten lopen.
