We have visited this hotel's restaurant on several occasions for lunch and we have enjoyed the food but we have never stayed overnight in the hotel. The hotel is in the centre of the quiet village and comprises three or four separate buildings centred around the reception area. The staff were friendly and welcoming. They showed us to our room which was clean and comfortable. The towels were excellent and worthy of a special mention. There was television with provision of the main British channels. There was free WiFi access. Dinner was served in the Restaurant which was on the other side of the road [but very little traffic uses this road at night]. The choice of food was excellent and it was well-prepared and well-presented. Food is only served between 7 and 9 pm but even at the beginning of October the restaurant was reasonably full and had a 'buzzy' atmosphere. The value-for-money in the restaurant was excellent. Breakfast was served in the area beside the reception. It would be described as a Continental breakfast but it was served to the table by a very pleasant waitress and the quality and quantity of the food was amazingly good. The breakfast cost 8 euros per person. This hotel has been a very special find which is so close to Calais and convenient for ferries and the Eurotunnel.

September 16th – 19th, 2012: our 30th visit to this outstanding, family-run hotel which, to us, has always been far more than the name (“Stop Over”) suggests. As well as staying overnight en route to the South of France or back to England, we have found the Pas-de-Calais area rich in its offerings, the hotel being an ideal base from which to explore the Côte d’Opale, down to the Somme and up into Belgium. The hotel, as well as the village itself, is charmingly picturesque ad it is hard to believe it is so close to Calais.
Rooms are beautifully clean, en-suite and comfortable, many with excellent views; the garden area is a delight with its beautiful flowers and children’s play area. Over the past 20 years, my children and, more recently, my grandchildren have used the play area, as well as the tennis courts and the boules pitches. The welcome is always warm and nothing is ever too much trouble, be it putting freezer packs into the freezer or calling a mechanic when the car has broken down. The staff take their tone from the owners: Monsieur and Madame Liétard are eminently professional and pleasant with all their guests – a cosmopolitan mix, mainly British, Belgians, a few Germans and, less frequently, French. They do have rooms for 5, which were ideal when we had three children, as well as accommodation for the disabled, with dedicated parking.
Cold drinks or tea can be purchased throughout the day, refreshing after a walk along the beach at Blanc Nez or descending from the top of the cliff, where the impressive monument to the Dover Patrol dominates the skyline and looks out onto the white cliffs at the other side of the Channel. Breakfast, served in the extensive breakfast area at the main hotel, is excellent, and very good value at 8 euros 50: fruit juice, a hot drink (replenished as you need); cereals, croissants, baguettes, a range of other breads; cold meats and cheeses; ‘boil your own’ eggs.
The bar and restaurant are at the other side of the road; drinks are reasonably priced and the restaurant, run by Mme Liétard’s sister, Madame Bourdon, offers a range of menus, starting at 16 euros; confirming your booking is recommended – the restaurant is invariably busy and they were unable to take us on the one evening we had not booked. Seafood is a speciality but, for carnivores like me, the steak is very good and the veal chop excellent.
I cannot speak highly enough of this hotel: many members of our extended family and friends have enjoyed a stay here and none of us has ever been disappointed.

This is a no pretence hotel with basic accommodation but so well situated for the tunnel to Uk, visiting the Cote d'Opale, walking along the coast, eating superb fish and sea food and chilling. The profusion of flowers on the house and outbuildings is very welcoming. The staff are getting friendlier every year- they tell me they have taken advice from customers and it shows. The breakfast is now more varied with eggs and is plentiful. The restaurant across the road is excellent value for money; 25€ for a seafood platter with crab is quite impressive. I will keep on going back and recommend this place to you.

Basic hotel, ideal for those travelling to and from UK. Close to channel tunnel, easy to find.

Clean rooms, everything works as it should. We found the restaurant (which is actually across the road from the hotel) weren't pleased to us even though we'd booked a table for 9:30 and arrived before 9:00. By 10 o'clock, everything was in darkness, bar closed too. Strange, although apparently not in some parts of France.

Worth considering due to its location, cleanliness, decent continental breakfast.
