What
an
amazing
find.
Out
of
the
blue.
We
needed
a
place
to
stay
just
one
night,
not
far
from
the
coast.
C
2
to
3
hrs
from
Dunkirk.
In
a
quick
search
my
wife
found
this
place,
touted
as
a
chateau
and
it
fitted
the
bill.
Upon
arrival
it
wasn't
a
chateau,
but
a
large
old
farm
house
and
looked
rather
run
down.
We
wondered
what
we'd
got
into.
But
as
we
drove
into
the
drive
and
parked
up
we
started
to
think
this
might
be
something
special.
Two
small
lakes/large
ponds,
with
ducks
and
geese
and
a
peacock.
Sheep
and
goats.
Old
carts
and
carriages.
This
was
beginning
to
look
like
a
hidden
treasure.
We
rang
the
bell
of
the
huge
front
door
and
were
greeted
by
the
owner.
An
Italian/Belgium
with
a
huge
welcoming
smile
dress
as
if
he'd
time
travelled
from
the
1700s.
As
we
got
to
know
him
in
our
short
stay
we
learnt
what
a
lovely
man
he
is
and
he
couldn't
do
enough
to
make
our
stay
not
just
enjoyable,
but
an
experience
not
to
be
missed
or
forgotten.
The
rooms
were
all
decorated
and
fitted
out
in
period
furniture
and
fittings.
There
were
manikins
dressed
in
period
costumes,
all
made
of
paper!
It
is
truly
lovely
and
makes
for
a
wonderful
romantic
stay.
Sadly
he
plans
to
close
the
restaurant
as
the
work
load
is
far
too
much
for
him
-
he
needs
an
investor
IMHO,
but
he
was
open
for
us.
7
tables,
that's
all
there
is
so
it
is
very
intimate
and
personal.
The
menu
is
simple,
"any
allergies".
"Meat
or
fish".
That's
it.
5
courses,
changed
each
month.
I
took
a
picture
of
all
of
ours,
bar
the
1st
course.
It
was
a
most
memorable
dinner
and
the
food
was
excellent.
Not
Michelin
but
to
a
high
standard.
But
it
was
an
experience
too.
Immersed
in
the
past.
160
for
the
two
of
us
and
more
wine
than
we
needed
(Champaign
infusion
was
lovely
and
different
and
the
home
made
lemoncello
the
best
I've
had
and
we
visit
Lemone
on
lake
Garda).
My
wife
fell
in
love
with
the
goats
and
now
wants
one
for
the
garden
here
in
London.
Not
sure
about
that.
We
must
go
back
for
a
weekend.
Thank
you,
thank
you
for
an
amazing
stay!
