A lovely spot and very quiet but within easy reach of various locations property is very well equipped with everything you could need and clean. Hosts are very knowledgeable about the area and helpful and Charlie the dog is lovely would definitely recommend.
A beautiful cottage with a lovely enclosed garden. Norman and Irene where always very helpful and knowledgeable about places to visit and local restaurants.
Set in the beautiful village of Tortefontaine is this little haven of a property. Irene, Norman and Charlie the dog were extremely welcoming. The place and surroundings are just perfect for a quiet relaxing stay.
We will look forward to returning!
We spent a lovely week at Tortefontaine and enjoyed exploring this region of France. The property was really clean and contained everything needed for self catering holiday. Norman and Irene were welcoming and very knowledgeable about the local area.
The cottage is perfectly equipped, functional and delightfully decorated. There is a small, peaceful garden and a picnic table under a large tree for hot days!
A plus for the high quality mattress (for weak backs!)
Irene and Norman are charming, discreet and gave us plenty of suggestions for outings and visits.
A valuable address to keep!
This property is immaculate. It is extremely well supplied with everything you could need, clearly a lot of thought and effort has gone into ensuring this. The bed is very comfortable. Our hosts Norman and Irene were very friendly and helpful with good local knowledge. Ideally located for visiting the opal coast. We had a fabulous fortnight here. Andrew and Susan Leah.(July 24)

Lovely relaxing break
I have detailed on TripAdvisor. Lovely cottage, well equipped. Owned and run by friendly couple.
The cottage was so clean and welcoming and Norman and Irene were lovely down to earth people and Charlie the dog was a friend for my dog frank for the week
Beautiful little cottage. Cosy, compact, comfortable and well equipped. Nice external seating areas in the hosts well maintained country garden. Very peaceful location in a small, quiet village but within a short drive/ easy access of the surrounding areas. Plenty to see and do within an hours drive or less. Lovely, friendly and helpful hosts.
Would definitely recommend, loved the gite,and it was absolutely spotless.Its out in the sticks abit,but we had a car,so travelled around .Loved being in a less tourist area,and getting the feel of the way the French live.

bijou but immaculate
A chance to return to the area which was everything we remembered it to be and a chance to meet up with old friends
Spent a week at the cottage relaxing and it was peaceful. Norman and Irene are excellent hosts and very knowledgeable about the area. Had great days out visiting different sites. Would happily recommend the cottage to anyone- only one thing missing a guest book.
Hosts live on site and are friendly but not intrusive (Also have Charley the dog which is a bonus). Property is small but well equipped and furnished and is impeccably clean. Also you have a private garden area and access to rest of grounds to hide from sun. Location is quiet but beaches and towns easily driveable within 10 to 35 minutes so all options covered. Would certainly recommend.

Very quiet and lovely
Lovely well presented Gite. We stayed for a week and Irene and Norman were very helpful and welcoming. They had a secure storage area for our tandem and all the facilities you need apart from a washing machine but there is a launderette in Hesdin. The bed was lovely and comfortable and being able to watch the Tour de France highlights on ITV 4 was great. Thoroughly recommend this Gite.
We had a lovely time staying at this wonderful place. After our original plans got turned upside down Irene and Norman made us feel at home in a second. We booked on really short notice, not even a day, but it worked out perfectly fine. The house was well equipped and we found everything we needed. There were even two little outside seating areas we could use during the whole stay. Our dog Cooper was also very welcomed. Just outside the gate we could step into the fields for our lovely morning walks. Nothing is really far away from this place and both of the landlords had plenty of suggestions for our trips! We can highly recommend to ask them!
My girlfriend and I spend an amazing time in this little little cozy cottage. It is equipped with everything you might need. The garden is filled with flowers and shaded by old trees - listening to birds early in the morning with a cup of coffee was incredibly relaxing.
We also made use of the great gas barbecue.
The cottage was incredibly well cleaned and sterilized before our arrival, which we appreciated greatly, especially during the current situation.
Irene and Norman are very welcoming.
All in all a great get away with amazing hosts.
Ich hatte mit Ayko einen wunderbaren Urlaub. Irene und Norman haben alles wunderbar erklärt, der Tisch war einladend gedeckt, das Feuer war im Ofen an, richtig gemütlich.Wir kommen gerne wieder
Wunderbar - einfach wunderbar. Wo soll man beginnen: wir waren dort als Ü 60 Flitterwöchner und haben die Tage restlos genossen. Das Gastgeberpaar ist unglaublich nett und hilfbereit mit guten Tipps und Ratschlägen für Restaurants, Ausflugszielen und Wegstrecken. Wir wurden warmherzig begrüßt und zu unserem Häuschen, das im Hof des alten Anwesens liegt, das von ihnen bewohnt wird, begleitet. Im Erdgeschoss Wohn-Esszimmer vereint mit der voll ausgestatteten Küche (inklusive Heißluftfriteuse und Geschirrspülmaschine), Bad, separate Toilette, das gesamte Obergeschoss als ein Schlafzimmer mit einem Doppel- und einem Einzelbett. Viele liebenswerte kleine Details in der Ausstattung - vom Tablett mit Teegeschirr bis zum Korb mit flauschigen Kuscheldecken. Im Außenbereich 2 Gartenplätze mit Tisch, Sofa, Sonnenschirm umgeben von Stauden und Blumen und alter Mauer - ein Traum zum Sitzen und Genießen.Einkaufsdetails: Bäcker ca. 5 Minuten mit dem Auto entfernt, Verkaufsautomat des lokalen Landwirts im Nachbarort. Nach Hesdin ca. 12 Minuten Fahrt (wunderschönes Örtchen mit gradiosem Wochenmarkt, Kunsthandwerk, Galerien und guter Gastronomie), ans Meer (Berck) ca. 30 Minuten.Wir haben jede Minute genossen und denken wehmütig an die Zeit und ja, WIR KOMMEN WIEDER!Vielleicht zu kurz gekommen: es ist Dorf! Keine Disko, kein Supermarkt - dafür Entspannung pur, Ruhe und Ruhe und Ruhe: ein Traum!See You again, Norman and Irene!
Es war ein sehr schöner Urlaub mit einer sehr schönen Unterkunft, bei der jedes kleine Detail schön eingerichtet ist. Man hat einen wunderschönen Außenbereich zum sitzen und die Gastgeber sind sehr nett, hilfsbereit und offen für jegliche Tipps, auch in Bezug auf Unternehmungen.Die Umgebung ist schön ruhig und bietet sowohl kleine süße Städte zum ansehen als auch das wunderschöne Meer, mit riesigen Sandstränden.Wir können den Aufenthalt dort sehr empfehlen.
Leuk huisje met alles erop en eraan. Ook zeer aardige eigenaars. Omgeving is leuk om te fietsen, maar ook af en toe golfen. Voor ons een fijne plek, waar je je prima een weekje kunt vermaken. Ondanks dat het weer niet helemaal mee werkte.
