A great value family and dog friendly B&B near Calais

This is a great value bed and breakfast near Bethune, Lille and Calais, a great spot for a B&B stopover en route to or from Calais or Dunkirk. The A26 autoroute is just 7kms away.

It is set in the peaceful little village of Annequin just 8 km from Béthune, 10 km from the new museum Louvre Lens and 30 min from Lille and 1h20 from Calais. For anyone interested in WW1 history, this spot is close to the front line and guided tours of the battlefields and memorials/cemeteries can be arranged.

Thanks to the past mining history of this area, the property is also close to numerous ponds in which you can fish. The B&B owner will lend you some fishing tackle if you wish.

The accommodation is gated and fenced so no need to worry about the security of your heavily laden car or your bikes which you can store in the covered storage area.

There is also a table tennis table at the B&B which is sure to entertain children young and old.

Your English-speaking host at this B&B is passionate about fossils and pre-history (hence the room names) and will delight in showing you his extensive collection.

Breakfast with home made jams and cakes is taken either in the conservatory which looks onto the gardens or on the spacious terrasse in finer weather. Guest also have use of a guests' kitchen with sink, fridge and microwave oven.
