Gourmet stopover!
We just stayed one night here, which is probably just as well for our waistlines because the food is fabulous! The rooms and the restaurant are in the stable blocks of a château, and while some of the rooms are upstairs, some, including ours (room two) are on the ground floor as is the restaurant and reception. I don't know how many adapted rooms they have, (just the one, I think) but ours was very spacious and had some adaptations, detailed below. The bed was rather low but I would rather this than that it was too high, although of course different things suit different people. It also had rather a strange headboard: the feeding trough from when this was a stable which made sitting up in bed a little bit difficult! There was a sofa in the room and also two upright chairs with arms, plus, unusually, tea and coffee making facilities. It's just an hour or so away from Calais, so if you need somewhere in the area and you want to treat yourselves to some gorgeous food then this is a great place. The château was the headquarters of the British Tank Command during World War I and they are planning to add a little museum at some point in the future. The accessibility generally is a bit of a work in progress but they are intending to improve it and I was able to get around without a problem.
