Manoir de la Salle du Roc B&B

We loved our stay here after a difficult drive from Lille. Even though we arrived very late - 11pm - Olivier was welcoming and even gave us a packet of biscuits in case we were hungry. We had a little suite with two bathrooms which I loved - all very comfortable and furnished in antiques with interesting pictures everywhere. Breakfast was great, although a choice of fruit juice would have been nice, and suppers were superb. Olga is a great cook and Olivier chooses lovely wines. In short it was wonderfully relaxing and enjoyable.

It's rare to find a property like this that has not changed much in one hundred years. The house has miraculously been spared overly-zealous renovations and so there is an air of sleepy beauty pervading the place. One could be tempted to grab a glass of the delicious sauvignon, a copy of Proust and disappear into the garden for the afternoon. The famous chateaux of the Loire nearby can wait!
