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. "

"Large, well equipped property in quiet but convenient location. Comfortable bedrooms and multiple bathrooms make this an excellent choice. Parking and space in huge garage are a huge bonus."

"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...

"Great stay in this big house - perfect for groups - super location very close to the beach. Easy communication with host - all perfect."

"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. In Einrichtung war zeitlich nicht mehr von Standard, Möbel teilweise kaputt, defekt Kaffeemaschine die 1 Stunde gebraucht bis der Kaffee durch war, die ganze Einrichtung , Bett, Küche, Bad ungefähr 25 - 30 Jahre alt, die Decke war schlecht renoviert, Badezimmer ohne Fenster schlecht belüftet. Garten nicht so gut gepflegt, nur eine liege, große Büsche ( zu dick)stand ihn weg von der Abstellraum, der Eingang Weg nicht...

"The House for us was very good."

"We took both sides of the house, for 17 of us, staying a long weekend. Houses are well equipped with a nice big garden in a lovely neighbourhood. Richard and Roxanne provided plenty of useful local info prior to our arrival. Easy to get to from Calais."

"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."
