Previous visitor comments
I had to write to you to let you know that the Chateau near Abbeville we stayed at last weekend was excellent. I feel that the weekend was made enjoyable mainly because of Norbert's wonderful hospitality. It really was like staying with a friend, he couldn't do enough to make us feel welcome and give us information about what to do with our days. The b&b accommodation was well maintained and clean and the food was delightful - cooked by Norbert!!! We would happiliy go back or recommend anyone else to stay there - if they are looking for a peaceful break in the Pas de Calais. Thanks again for helping us with the booking. - the Williamsons, UK

Just returned from the chateau accommodation near Abbeville: Children enjoyed it more than EuroDisney, wife wants to move in, I just loved it - we will definitely be going back and recommending it to our family and friends. Norbert is an excellent host and cook: we used the horse riding facilities and all enjoyed the wonderful food: The 2 other guests there at the same time were also great company - and just organising a family get together there for 17 of their relatives!! - the Coston family, 2006

Just returned from holiday and thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the chateau near Abbeville and Calais. Lovely place and great hosts. Children loved it as well. We will keep the details and hope to return. - The Beards, 2008

On the way back from our holiday in the South of France, we stopped at the chateau accommodation near Abbeville and absolutely loved it. The rooms were huge and charming. We loved the six-foot beds and the good quality sheets. Having just had a long drive, it was lovely to sit in the sun and drink a glass of wine and watch the swans, peacocks, tiny ponies, goats etc. There was even a brand new foal! Norbert was the most charming host. He cooked dinner for just the four of us and it was a really special evening with excellent wine! We would certainly recommend this Chateau to anyone and never again will I go for an Ibis or Mercure if you have an alternative nearby! - the Furneaux family, 2008

Yet again first class hospitality! We have just returned from our second stay - our first was on our honeymoon last year - this time we were returning from the south of France. From the minute we stepped inside the door we were treated like royalty thanks to both Norbert and Ubert - the brothers who run the Chateau. The room was magnificent and the food, prepared by Norbert, was delicious and plenty of it! As was the nice aperitif served up by Ubert - what a lovely touch. We are already looking to go again this year - we simply can not wait! Patricia and Martin King, UK June 2008
