Previous visitor comments
Just to let you know that we were very pleased indeed with our one-night stopover at the bed and breakfast accommodation near Calais. The house is lovely, the room was very pleasant and comfortable, the breakfast was very generous indeed, and Mme Balloy was extremely welcoming, friendly, chatty and helpful. Even Chouchou le chat was very charming too. Also it's handy for the Tunnel (and Calais ferries) but off the beaten track enough to be quiet and relaxing after a long drive. We won't hesitate to book to stay there again when travelling that way (and to recommend it to others). - The Jameses, UK

We have just returned from our short stay at the b&b near Calais and wanted to let you know immediately that this B&B is a very special place and please don't let too many people know about it, or we won't be able to get in when next we want to go! The welcome was charming, the house is glorious - every little detail of decoration is perfect - and the breakfast was fit for a king. I have sent an email to M. and Mme. Balloy to thank them, but please let them know how very much we enjoyed being there. - The Bacons 2006

Just to let you know that we had a lovely one night stay at the b&b in Bois-en-Adres near Calais. The owners were really friendly, M Balloy chatted with the kiddies and even took care of them in the garden while we looked at the rooms. The rooms were clean and beautifully decorated and breakfast was fresh and plentiful! - the Tilneys, 2006

We just wanted to say thankyou for finding a real gem of a property for us (the bed and breakfast accommodation near Calais, ref 294). Travelling with children can be a nightmare, but we found a perfect home, where we were made so welcome, even with 3 young monsters to cater for! We stayed on the top floor, to all intents and purposes, our own self contained apartment. The Balloys were fantastic, and the children had the best of times exploring the vast grounds. Like others before, we don't want too many people to find out about this haven. Hard to believe it is so close to Calais, yet a real rural idyll. We should tell you it was awful so no-one else comes, but nothing could be further from the truth. Thankyou so much! - the Harnett family, 2006

VERY nice big house with beautiful room. Very friendly, helpful patrons plus a good breakfast. All very French style. Many thanks! - the Brookes family, 2007
