Un paradis !

Voilà deux fois que nous passons de longs week-end aux Écuries avec toute notre famille et, pour nous, c'est un paradis : beauté des maisons et de leur décoration, calme des lieux, grand confort des chambres et des lits, parc ravissant où nos petits-enfants peuvent jouer en toute sécurité, grande piscine très agréable et bien chauffée par tous les temps, environnement champêtre et, à 30mn à pieds, village charmant et accueillant... Que dire de plus ? Hôtes absolument charmants, à la fois discrets et disponibles. Et multitudes de châteaux, de plages, de sites intéressants à découvrir alentour... Je le répète : un paradis !!

Well equipped Gite with plenty of room

The properties are well maintained and very well equipped. The grounds are extensive with several mowed areas suitable for sports such as rounders, volleyball, badminton and boules. The gardens are far more mature than the photos show and are interesting to walk around. The pool is a wonderful asset and was used a great deal during our stay. The main house is very spacious and came with enough chairs for everyone, even those staying at The Barn, which is a few meters away from the the main house. Both houses were clean on arrival. We really enjoyed our stay - with the weather being the icing on the cake. Would not hesitate to stay here again.

Wonderful venue for a group holiday

An excellent venue for a lovely holiday: - Accommodation is spacious, with lots of history but beautifully restored and with modern fittings (all rooms en-suite), with very well-kept gardens. - The owners are very helpful, they are English but have lived here for over 20 years so know the area very well. They live on-site so are available if needed but discreet otherwise. - The pool is a real bonus, plenty warm enough in mid-Summer and a great size (12m long) for everyone to splash around in or to get some good exercise. - The location is ideal: very well-connected (1h45 to Calais, close to local shops and autoroute) but also feels completely secluded with amazing view of stars at night. - Really recommend: Cleres village and stately home, Aubin-sur-Mer beach, many lovely local markets. Would strongly recommend this to others.

Group Stay

Large group of us stayed at the property which was ideal for our needs, very clean and tidy and the owners could not do enough to make our stay a great one. I recommend the property that is well stocked in the kitchen and the dinning room was large enough to take us all. Definitely be back next year. Thanks.

Great place

The place is calm and peaceful, surrounded by nature. All rooms are very confortable with a bathroom for each. The owner has been welcoming. We spend with 20 friends, a great week-end. The only "false-note" is that the fridge were off when we arrived and it took the entire evening to get cold enough. Aside that, everything was perfect

Spacious, comfortable sanctuary in Northern France

Les Ecuries is a beautiful property which was accurately described in the listing. However, it was much larger than we were expecting, and so thoughtfully done out that you had everything you could need, including well-equipped kitchen, ample storage, blackout blinds and gorgeous fluffy duvets! We found the layout of the main building particularly ideal for our 3 families as all parents were able to stay in a room close to their children. Two of our party then stayed in the Barn - a spacious annexe about 50 yards away which provided an ideal retreat for them as they didn't have children with them!! It is worth looking at the aerial photo and noting that the swimming pool is a little way from the main house and is covered - this made it perfect for our group (8 adults and 6 young children) as it was warm and secure. The property is very well-maintained, clean and comfortable. Kate, the property manager was incredibly quick to respond to all my queries and on hand at the property if needed, whilst also being totally non-intrusive. I would definitely recommend this property to a friend, either looking for somewhere to go with a group of families, or a large group of adults. The property is totally geared up for large groups, whilst still feeling characterful and indulgent. The location was rural and very peaceful. It's an easy 1.75 hour drive from Calais and half an hour from the coast and also Rouen. The nearby town of Sans Saens is charming and has a Carrefour and a playground. We went for walks in the nearby forests and had a delicious and very reasonably priced meal in Relais Hubert in nearby San Ventes.

Family Holiday at Les Ecuries

We were courteously met by the owner Kate Blacker on our arrival and given a conducted tour of the property and grounds. All bedrooms were en suite, comfortable - bed linen and towels provided - and met the needs of our extended family. The modern kitchen in both the large and small house was well equipped. Large dining room and comfortable lounges. We were fortunate with the weather and all meals were taken on the large patio area outside the large house - bbq facilities provided. The grounds of the property were well maintained with flower beds and large areas for the children and adults to enjoy games of rounders and cricket. A highlight of the property was the heated outdoor enclosed swimming pool. Locally there were interesting villages and manor houses and forests to visit. The property is within easy reach of the channel tunnel and ferries. An exceptional location for a family holiday and thoroughly recommended

A fabulous place to stay...

We stayed here for a week-end among friends (7 couples + kids) and Les Ecuries catered to our every need... we wouldn't hesitate to come back here again!

The property itself is spacious, well equipped, clean, nicely decorated and the gardens are huge, yet cosy and beautiful!
