"It is stunning.
I had just booked via Expedia for one night en route from Lithuania / Poland back to Calais and LeShuttle, just on the basis that it was in roughly the right place.
Tone was set by a great checkin with a wonderful receptionist who clearly liked working there (which is always a good sign). Ample free parking. Rooms were great, and place clearly so nice that I booked a second night.
We used the additional day to hire electric bikes on site, and followed a recommended route (variety available) to explore the weirdness of the loopy Netherlands / Belgium border nearby. Safe cycling through lovely countryside and prosperous villages.
Aiming to come back specifically to stay at this hotel.
Positives:
- Exceptionally pleasant and helpful staff;
- Fascinating historic buildings . . .
- Superb rooms (ours were, and I have no reason to suspect the rest aren't);
- Electric cycle hire to explore well laid out and safe cycling network;
- Plentiful onsite parking;
- Great food including breakfast;
- Lovely outdoor seating area to relax with a beer (other beverages available!);
- (And for the really geeky, there's a chunk of V2 rocket on a plinth just past the car park).
Negatives:
- Pillows were too plump? (Trying really hard here!);
- Mosquitos in the area - worth taking repellant (we had not)."
