Peaceful, tranquil.. a bit remote
We arrived a couple of hours late but Francine was waiting, with all the doors and windows open. Throughout our stay, she came over every morning to open the pool and have a chat - even though her English is limited, it was easy to communicate. The house is large but I was disappointed to find a small(ish) shower downstairs and just a 'no solids' electric flush toilet upstairs. There are a couple of sinks up there, too. The shower itself was more than adequate in power and warmth. The beds were hard (for us), and the furniture in general has seen better days but it's OK. There's a TV and DVD in both the lounge areas, although they're both fed off the same satellite unit (switching channels on one seemed to stop the DVD on the other). The kitchen lacks prep space but the cooker, coffee machine and kettle all worked fine. I couldn't fathom the microwave and the place needs a baking tray or two. There's also a large fridge with a freezer compartment, plenty of cutlery and crockery, and a selection of pans. We drove to La Coupole (inc 3D planetarium), Le Touquet, Agincourt visitors centre, and some of the local towns. There is a supermarket, café, and petrol station in Anvin, a couple of kilometres away. Otherwise, you're fairly remote - it's very quiet except for the occasional tractor, birdsong, and a crowing cockerel. The pool is covered, heated, and not too deep. Our 11yo was in there for 2-3 hours almost every day. All in all, a peaceful, relaxed time.

A lovely location
A beautiful spot in the French countryside, the house has all you need for a long stay with a lot to see and do locally. Francine & Roland are good hosts and were very friendly. There was no BBQ unfortunately, but the weather wasn't exactly warm on our stay for most of the time. The local restaurant is a short walk and it is excellent. There is some trout fishing in the stream on the side of the house and on the river Ternoise locally, good fly fishing . The children enjoyed swimming in the pool in all weathers. Overall a great stay 😀

Peaceful country house
The house is very spacious with lots of living space. Well equipped with everything you need for a short or long stay. Very nice quiet spot, in the countryside. Youd need a car to get to the shops in nearby village only 4min drive away, where you can get anything you need from supermarket, pharmacy, farm goods etc. Francine and husband were very welcoming, even with our communication issues with different languages. She was very accommodating with check in and check out times for us. Thank you very much.

Great stay, lovely house, just a couple of considerations.
The Mill is spacious, in a lovely setting, with a good size swimming pool and just 4 min drive from a Carrefour supermarket and other local shops. The views from the main bedroom bed are amazing and waking up them and just the sound of birds singing is such a pleasure. We did not know the property isn´t detached; the back of the mill is attached to another property (with lovely neighbours, by the way) and although the land around the property seems quite large, it is mainly just private farmland. The river waterfall feature is spectacular, it was such a shame the water was so cold that we couldn't go in. The pool isn`t, however, how it's advertised: it is now covered with panels that lift up to 45º angle so no sunbathing from the pool, which was quite disappointing. Having said that, the pool is now heated so it can be used even on a cool day. The owners live just 30 metres away and come every day to kindly clean the pool around 10 am. They also do gardening in the area while you are there so, depending on the dates you travel, you'll need to know she might be working around the property strimming or weeding. The property and garden are not fenced off, so you might want to watch your small children. The house has pretty much everything one needs (except for towels). The way the owner puts it, the cleaning fee is pretty much mandatory. Overall, a relaxing and pleasant family holiday in a rural house in a beautiful area of France covered in large fields and trees.

Beautiful Big Holiday Gite in Lovely Countryside, Generally Clean but slightly tired.
A warm welcome from the Granddaughter as we arrived early. The lady came home quickly and showed us around. The instructions were very precise around use of the heating etc. Remember to bring your own towels and domestic cleaning products as they are not supplied. You will need to use them thoroughly to get your deposit back. We passed the inspection, that we were reminded of every day by the owner. The property is a beautiful old mill, with lots of character and space. Near Agincourt and Hesdin. An hour's drive from Calais.it is a useful rural location.

Lovely relaxing stay
Lovely relaxing stay, property was beautiful in a lovely area, and was well equipped. However was a little disappointed to find that we were not allowed to use the log burner, that you advertise. Also there was no pool table or table tennis, also that you advertise. Needs a little work for example no doors down stairs close could be embarrassing as one of these is the toilet/shower room that is straight onto the kitchen.

Beautiful gite in an amazing location
I would recommend this cottage to anyone looking for peace and quiet. Francine is a lovely lady; always smiling and very happy to help. The tranquility of this old mill is enhanced by the constant sound of running water from the waterfall falling into the stream. We were very lucky with the weather and it was a shame we couldn't brave the pool (it is September) but we did paddle in the stream which Francine thought was hilarious. A 40 minute drive will take you to Arras wher a 50 minute train ride will have you in Paris. A must for anyone. Actually a tip was that we drove an extra half an hour to catch a slightly slower train to Amiens where the train ticket was half the price for first class. Book early online. Download the SNCB app and you don't have to print anything out; just show your phone.

Very enjoyable stay
Francine & Roland are very attentive and do everything to make your stay enjoyable. The cottage is immaculately clean and well stocked with an eclectic mix of items. The swimming pool was a major bonus in 32C temperatures and the cottage was a comfortable haven during the thunder & lightning storms. The kettle, teapot, mugs & toaster are all there, maybe just check out the store room. The Carrefour in Anvin will have most of your needs. The museum in Azincourt is a little dated and overpriced but still worth a look. Be aware that neither bedding nor towels is not included in the rental costs, so either take your own or make it clear that you want to hire them in advance. Totally recommend the cottage as a base to explore from.

Great place to stay for a taste of rural France
If you want a quiet holiday away from the hustle and bustle of normal busy life then this a perfect place to stay. The cottage is very quaintly rural French but contained all the basics we needed for a self-catering holiday. The kids loved the swimming pool (despite the weather) and we enjoyed the wildlife, lack of traffic noise and the generally laid-back pace of life. The hosts were helpful and friendly and even gave us produce from their vegetable garden. Francine speaks about as much English as I do French (I took my French GCSE over 20 years ago!) and Roland speaks no English at all, but we always managed to understand each other. I would recommended this cottage for anyone who enjoys the simple things in life. Some extra notes for my fellow English travellers… As another traveller noted, there is no kettle (electric or stove-top) so if you want to boil water you will need to use a saucepan. There *is* a teapot and a splendid coffee machine, however if you want to drink your tea/coffee out of anything larger than the teeny-tiniest expresso cups, you will have to provide your own mugs. We bought some splendid mugs from the Carrefour in the nearest town (~2km away). They were only €2 each and as they matched the colour of our kitchen, we brought them home as a memento of our holiday. The kitchen utensils are a bit eclectic but keep the meals simple and you’ll be fine. All the TV channels are in French - but who goes on holiday to watch TV anyway? The Woman’s Football Euros were on when we were there and were much more enjoyable to watch without the patronising BBC commentary. If you cannot survive without watching a screen then bring some DVDs. For such a rural location, mobile phone reception is surprisingly good. I’m with EE and got 4G+ via Orange F. Hubby struggled on Vodaphone but that might be more to do with his ancient handset. You might want to keep this to yourself though - we told everyone in the UK that we were out of contact so we could have a proper holiday without work & mundane emails spoiling it.

Wohlfühloase in der Natur
Wir haben uns im Ferienhaus bei Familie Balesdent sehr wohl gefühlt. Die charmante Mühle am rauschenden Bach mit ihrem alten Interieur hat uns sehr gut gefallen. Der Pool wurde fast täglich benutzt, vor allem von unserer Tochter. Die Ungebung lädt zu gemütlichen Spaziergängen ein. Die Gastgeber, deren Haus auf dem Gelände liegt sind überaus freundlich und diskret. Man sieht sie hier und da mal Langlaufen aber wir fühlten uns dadurch überhaupt nicht gestört. Wir bekamen Bier, Salat, Kekse geschenkt und durften uns am Apfelbaum bedienen. Sehr lieb. In ca 24 Minuten Autofahrt Entfernung gibt es einen tollen, kleinen Freizeitpark der für Kinder die perfekte Abwechslung ist wenn es zu ruhig wird. Nach Lille fährt man keine Stunde und kann dort viel besehen. Wir konnten uns gut erholen und können das Haus ruhigen Gewissens weiter empfehlen. Liebe Grüße von Sandra, Marvel und Mia
