Anyone who longs for silence, open space, and a sky full of stars will feel right at home here. What was once an old barn has been lovingly converted into a charming vacation home. Inside, it’s simple and cozy. Outside, time seems to stand still. From nearly every window, you look out over rolling meadows where chickens scratch around and a horse and a donkey come curiously up to the fence. During the day, you mainly hear birds and the wind. As soon as evening falls, it gets truly dark. Thousands of stars appear in the sky, and in the distance, owls call out to one another. In every season, this is a place to slow down and fully recharge. Children have plenty of space in the fenced-in yard with a sandbox, swing, and slide. Cats roam freely in the yard. Wi-Fi and Chromecast (Netflix, NLZIET, etc.) are available. Downstairs, there is a double fold-out bed (140×190 cm) and a single fold-out bed/chair (70×185 cm). On the open loft, there are two single beds. Femke offers ceramics workshops for children and adults.
Nature and surroundings
Nature and Surroundings At the end of a hamlet with just fifteen houses, nature literally begins right at your doorstep. Walk or bike along quiet country roads past forests, meadows, and small villages. Along the way, you might spot hares, roe deer, pheasants, birds of prey, badgers, and even wild boars. Free hiking trails are waiting for you. In just over half an hour, you’ll reach the impressive Opal Coast, where sandy beaches, chalk cliffs, pebble beaches, and the vast Bay of the Somme alternate. Stroll through Le Crotoy or Saint-Valery-sur-Somme, spot seals at Le Hourdel, or enjoy thousands of birds in the Marquenterre nature reserve. Auxi-le-Château is just 5 km away, with shops, outdoor cafés, and all the amenities you need. In the house, you’ll also find a comprehensive folder full of tips for markets, flea markets, restaurants, and unique day trips. But you might just discover that the best outing is simply this: sitting back, listening to the silence, and watching the stars appear one by one.

Very friendly hosts. The cottage was very nice and spacious. Everything you need is there. The sofa bed was perfectly fine to leave unfolded. The garden could use a bit of sprucing up (the fence), and the reason pets aren’t allowed is because they have two cats and a dog of their own. Those cats do roam in your garden, though not inside the cottage. That’s good to know. All in all, a very peaceful and pleasant base for exploring the surrounding area. The cottage has extensive information on things to do in the area, and there are also several hiking trails that start right from the cottage—really fun to do. In short, a great place!
Hele vriendelijke gastvrouw en heer. Het huisje was heel fijn en ruim. Alles wat je nodig hebt is er. De bedbank kon je prima uit laten staan. De tuin kon wel wat opgeknapt worden (zichtwerk) en de reden waarom huisdieren niet zijn toegestaan is omdat ze zelf 2 katten en een hond hebben. Die katten lopen ook in jouw tuin, niet in het huisje. Dat is wel goed om te weten. Al met al een hele rustige en fijne uitvalsbasis voor vele bezoekjes aan de omgeving. In het huisje ligt uitgebreide documentatie wat je kan doen in de omgeving en er zijn ook diverse wandeltochten die starten vanaf het huisje, ook echt leuk om te doen. Kortom een prima plek!

One tip is to visit La Reignes Ecluse Castle, which is half an hour away. We took the one-and-a-half-hour guided tour, led by a descendant of the family who talked a lot. In French. Exhausting, with lots of dates, stories of thefts, and recovered artifacts. But the interior, it must be said, was impressive. Unfortunately, we weren’t allowed to take photos inside.
Dinner that evening at Restaurant L’abbaye in Saint-Requier, which had a surprising terrace out back instead of being squeezed between the cars out front.Een tip is een bezoek aan het kasteel La Reignes Ecluse hier een half uur vandaan. We deden de rondleiding van anderhalf uur, door een telg van de familie die vooral veel aan het zenden was. In het Frans. Doodvermoeiend met vooral veel jaartallen en diefstallen en teruggevonden voorwerpen. Maar het interieur, moet gezegd, was indrukwekkend. Mochten binnen helaas geen foto’s maken.
Diner in de avond bij restaurant L’abbaye in Saint Requier, verrassend terras achter, in plaats van tussen de auto’s aan de voorkant.It’s actually just around the corner, and yet completely different: Picardy. Charging stations work a little differently everywhere, but we’re in luck: we have four affordable fast chargers at the Intermarché just 5 km from our nature house. And that house is situated in an idyllic spot in northern France.
The hidden gem of this vacation: Ault. Undiscovered because it’s mainly frequented by French tourists. Unfortunately, it was too hot for a long hike, so we stuck to a few kilometers there and back, rewarded with a dip in the sea near the chalk cliffs. Lunch with crêpes—available in many varieties as a local specialty—with a view of the sea!Het is eigenlijk bijna om de hoek en toch totaal anders: Picardië. Met laadpalen werkt het overal toch net even anders, maar we boffen: we hebben 4 goedkope snelladers bij de Intermarche op 5 km afstand van ons natuurhuisje. En dat huisje staat weer op een idyllisch plekje in Noord Frankrijk.
De geheimtip van deze vakantie: Ault. Onontdekt want vooral Franse toeristen. Helaas te heet om ver te wandelen dus hielden we het bij een paar kilometer heen en terug met als beloning een duik in de zee bij de krijtrotsen. Een lunch met crêpes, in vele soorten te verkrijgen als lokale specialiteit, met uitzicht op zee!This text is automatically translated.
