“A stone's throw away from the beach.”
We truly enjoyed our stay. For breakfast, we had many options. The host is super friendly and rooms beautifully decorated. In the room, there is a bottle hanging where you can add a shell or stone with names or messages. Unfortunately it was written in French and there was no pen to use so could not do it. I do think it is a beautiful gesture.

We have always stayed in one of the standard hotels in Coquelle before taking the morning Leshuttle but this was so much better! The welcome was warm, the room was really light and bright and stylishly decorated and it really is practically amongst the sand dunes. We’ll certainly stay here in future.

“A little gem”
Fantastic location right next to a sandy beach and sand dunes. Despite being August not overcrowded at all. Laura is an exceptional host and provided superb facilities and lovely breakfasts. Just a lovely relaxed 3 days in an area from far from Calais but a previously unknown coastline, to me which was great.

“Excellent stopover, worth spending an extra day or two.”
This property is located, as named, at the edge of the sand dunes on the beautiful Sangatte beach and as a bonus, close to the channel tunnel for our return journey the next morning. There is secure, free on-site parking. The bedroom and shower room were both spacious and clean with ample storage in both. The bed was very comfortable. The owner was friendly and informative. The breakfast was very good with a varied choice. Overall, we would consider staying here for a few nights on our next trip.
