Maison d'Hotes la Ferme du Grand Air

VERY POOR, NO HEATING, EVEN WHEN ASKED FOR, OTHER GUESTS ALSO OTHER GUESTS COMPLAINED ABOUT THIS. VERY VERY COLD THAT WEEKEND SHOWER TRAY BLOCKED,POOR WATER FLOW. TILES OFF THE WALLS IN BATHROOM. VERY NEGLECTED ALL ROUND THE ROOM VERY BASIC COMMUNICATION FROM STAFF, WASNT EVEN TOLD WHERE BREAKFAST WAS SERVED! AVOID!

Chose this place as it was in a rural and quiet location however there was a private function that evening which did not finish until 1am and was noisy to the accommodation. The room was basic, no heating on the first night, lukewarm shower, no hairdryer and no basic tea/coffee making facilities, room not clean to standard.Not recommended and would not stay there again.

A classic roadside motel but on a hill with a fab view down to Calais. The room was basic but clean and functional. The hard floors through the building conduct every sound so the place is very noisy . We had diner in the restaurant….mostly grilled stuff on their open bbq. My steak was fine and the local cheeses tasty. Prices are good for a stopover before travelling back to the UK.

I don’t like writing negative reviews, but things have changed since we stayed three years ago and there are things that you should know. On our previous visit we enjoyed an excellent pitchet of wine from the bar sitting outside overlooking the coast, and followed this with a delightful meal in the restaurant. Now there is no bar and no restaurant. This means that you either have to visit the shops in Guines as we did, or find a restaurant, which would limit any wine consumption. The situation of The Ferme de Grand Air is wonderful, and the security of cars in the enclosed courtyard is excellent. Our room had a large comfortable bed, though only one bedside light functioned. The shower head was almost unusable, though the water was warm, but the towels were so wet that they were unusable. The young lady who was so helpful on our arrival had disappeared so we used our own. Breakfast is available from 8am, not 7 as mentioned in the website, but you can use the kitchen to make coffee at any time. There are no facilities in your room, nor is there a coffee shop. There may be rooms with baths, but we haven’t seen one. As you can imagine we were very disappointed, as we had such an enjoyable experience previously. Alas no more.
