Le petit Wissant (country cottage)
GĂźte '' le petit Wissant '', property of around 3000m2 closed. Comprising a pretty house, living room, kitchen, 4 bedrooms, shower room, WC. Pretty terrace in a green wooded area. Very quiet, located 15km from the Channel Tunnel and the edge of the beaches. TV, internet, baby accessories, dishwasher and washing machine. Pets allowed.
Capacity 7 people (possibility of additional beds).
We were in this house for a week and had a pleasant stay. The house was cosy and well equipped. There are a lot of interesting places to visit. Definitely recommended!
This was our second visit in consecutive years
The location is very conveniently located in the quaint country village yet close to every facility you may need ( even easy to catch train to Paris for a day out)
The cottage is very well presented and looked after and a credit to the owners
Highly recommend a visit !!
Comfortable and quiet stop before the long drive home.
A very peaceful place to get a good nights sleep before the Calais crossing and drive home. Could do with some better curtains and blinds to help the children get an early night.
Just right for what we needed. 3 pairs of adults stayed here to visit the area. Top floor bedroom had smallish beds but ok. Great price and everything works. Could do with a bit of updating but generally in good order. Lovely and quiet.
Spacious, well-equipped house. Nice owners. We were invited with the children to come and see the animals on the nearby farm.
Good beds!
Con: the bathroom stays wet and had a bad smell.
Lovely traditional French cottage.
Everything we needed for our stay.
There was a little confusion with the rooms as the listing stated 3 bedroom and also 4 bedrooms but said sleeps 8. So we were confused. However when we got there there was 4 bedroom. Really spacious rooms.
Thanks for a lovely stay.
We had a comfortable overnight stay. The cottage is in a nice quiet area. Be aware there is an extra charge for bed linen for which we had to pay âŹ24 on arrival. This wasn't made very clear until we had some communication from the property owners a week or so before we travelled. This communication was also hampered by language barrier issues although with the use of a translator app, we were able to decipher the messages received and were able to reply as best we could in French in the same way.
We booked Little Wissant because we have 2 young children who donât relish long journeys in the car. Being only 15 minutes from Calais we were not sure what to expect.
We need not have worried, we were in a lovely farming village and the property was beautiful.
Much larger than we expected with a large garden Little Wissant was a great choice. Well equipped yet rustic - the girls enjoyed the run of the converted loft with toys.
Check in and check out were easy - the owners are friendly but we were left to our own devices for the week. It would have been a waste to only stay 1 night.
Day trips from the property are almost limitless. Each road out of the village has its own character and soon ends up in rural northern France which is much underrated.
We did Agincourt, Montreuil, Le Touquet-Paris-Plage, Nausicaa, Les 2 Caps and St Omer. It would have been easy to do a completely different but equally interesting itinery - especially when the kids are old enough for world war 1 and 2 history.
So all in all highly recommended and we hope to return some day soon!

Le Petit Wissant is a traditional French Gite in a small village close to the channel ports and the Opal Coast. The gite is very quirky as you would expect - main bedroom is huge, second double is cosy but there are two access doors so you don't have to climb over each other. There is a super little bedroom for an older child on the ground floor and an amazing twin children's bedroom up in the eaves. This has a huge play area set up for the children - no so good for adults due to the sloping ceilings. Our grandchildren tend to get up in the night so we thought it was a bit dangerous for them to sleep up there as the floors also had different levels due to beams - other children will cope fine. Everything was in the gite that you could possibly need, including a washing machine and dishwasher. Towels and bed linen are not provided as the norm but are available on request for a reasonable fee and we took this option but you do need to ask. There is also a cleaning fee to be paid. There is good wifi and digital TV but you need to have a knowledge of French as there were no English channels. Alhough in a very quiet and peaceful location, a few minutes drive on roads with no cars you are at the local shops and towns and the coast is no more that half an hour away. Plenty of museums and landmarks to visit too. We plan to return again next year. A great find and a great stay.
