OK. So you have to book a crossing which means you need accommodation close to Calais? And you are not a fan of the hotel chain type places??? Well ponder no longer. I booked this from the Alistair Sawday Special Places site and, from now onwards, it's our overnight stop close to the ports. We booked the Cote du Jardin... More

We stayed at the Manoir for one night after a two week holiday in Limoges. Le manoir is the perfect option for an overnight stop on the way back to England. We were offered the Cote Verger room which has a small kitchen area. The room was clean and nicely decorated, but it feel a bit damp. The owner gave... More

Our bedroom was in the old lodge.It was clean, quiet, very comfortable and well equipped. The breakfast in the main house was excellent. The gardens look lovely , and the whole range of buildings are a pleasure to walk around with rustic charm in abundance. Only 15 to 20 minutes south of the Tunnel it's an ideal stopping off point...

On our way back from a holiday in the Languedoc, we couldn't resist stopping off for our last night at the Manoir de Bois-en-Ardres. It was a wonderful end to our trip. As usual, Francoise and Thierry gave us a warm and enthusiastic welcome, and we were chaperoned to our favourite room (Sousbois). The gardens looked at their spring-time best.... More

Françoise was in the overgrown garden of a detached 'cottage' but she ignored our arrival. Thierry returned and booked us in to 'Sous Bois' in the ‘cottage’ There are two rooms in the... More

We stayed for the first time in Le Manoir de Bois en Ardres on our way to, and back from, London, one night each time. As soon as you arrive you feel well: wonderful setting, welcoming hosts, beautiful rooms, comfortable beds, delicious breakfast with a variety of homemade products. We will certainly return and warmly recommend this B&B, both as... More

This is a haven of peace and calm amidst the hustle and bustle of the Pas de Calais. Charming hosts, home-made food and a delightful setting makes the Manoir a must for breaking journeys one thw way to wherever. We arrived later than expected but this did not diminish the most courteous welcome one might expect. Clean, comfortable room, excellent... More

We stayed here on our way to Burgundy - we had a late afternoon crossing from Dover and then found our way to Le Manoir near the A26. We had not wanted to stay in Calais - we'd used travel inns before there and not been happy. So we wanted something more characterful as this time we were with my... More
