Nostalgisches Wohnen

Wir hatten sehr schöne Ferien in diesem nostalgischen Häuschen, das eine charmante Abwechslung zu unserem Alltag bot. Seine Lage ist schön zentral, allerdings liegt es an der vielbefahrenen Hauptstraße. Das Nachbarhaus hat wohl einen Veranstaltungsraum, der an den Wochenenden von Gruppen gebucht wird, wodurch es etwas unruhig werden kann. In der Küche fehlten uns ein paar Utensilien, was aber nicht so ins Gewicht fiel. Insgesamt haben wir uns also sehr wohl gefühlt, Cassel ist wirklich ein sehr hübsches Dorf in sehr schöner Lage! Von hier aus haben wir einige schöne Ausflüge machen können. Leider hatten wir einen unverschuldeten Blechschaden mitten in Cassel - bei den ganzen Formalien bekamen wir leider keine Hilfestellung.

Nice getaway

Nice house with everything you need. We liked the different spaces at the different floors. Really nice and private outside area with sun during the whole day. Round bed was good as well (enough space for the both of us). Make a note that there is no wifi and sheets+towels are for rent or you can bring your own. Cassel is cozy with different restaurants and take aways (pizza take out around the corner is really good!) and a nice spot from where you can explore the area (Lille, Dunkirk).

Mooi authentiek huis in het Centrum

Door de oude details voelt het heel authentiek aan. Stenen muren en houten vloeren en plafonds prachtig, de houten trappen zijn even wennen want smal. Buitenterras mist een tafeltje. Keuken is goed maar in de advertentie had moeten staan dat je zelf thee/handdoek, schuurspons of borstel en vaatwastabletten mee moet nemen. Omgeving is fantastisch en Cassel uitstekende uitvalsbasis. Genoten!

Bon séjour, mais la maison manque d’équipements basiques

Nous avons passé un très bon séjour dans ce gîte, même si nous avons été un peu surpris du manque d’intimité (seule la petite chambre est vraiment fermée). Il manquait quelques basiques (il n’y avaient pas de sel ni de poivre, pas d’eponge, etc). Néanmoins, Christine a été très arrangeante, les lits sont confortables, et notre séjour a été très bon.

A quirky, traditional villiage house in stunning Cassel

The house is well equipped and full of character. The family where very friendly and welcoming. There is a terrace on the top floor with views over the countryside. It was very hot while we were there so slept on the middle floors as heat definitely rises! The house is on a road but it’s not too busy. The stairs are very old and a little tricky for little ones and older people but they were fine for us once we were used to them. Cassel is a beautiful town set on a hill. The central square has lots of restaurants, bars and cafes that are open most of the time, even Sunday and Monday. Most of them on the south side have lovely views out over the countryside for their rear terraces. We drove to Lille (50mins) and Bruges (1hr30) but well worth a trip!

Lovely stay in a beautiful house

We came as a family of four to visit the grave of my husband's great grandfather, who died fighting the Spring offensive of 1918. We very much enjoyed staying in Cassel, which is a very picturesque town with stunning views. The house is lovely and well-equipped. As previous reviews have stated, the stairs are very steep - bring a torch for going to the bathroom at night if you are in the top bedroom! The owner lives round the corner, which is useful if anything goes wrong or if you have any questions. She couldn't have been more friendly and helpful at all stages of booking and staying.

A charming home in a beautiful and historic town

We stayed at Gite de Flandre from 2017-08-22 through 2017-08-30. We loved it!! The home was clean and well maintained. Christine, our gracious host, was extremely helpful and kind. Although we had a slight language gap (my extremely poor French along with her limited English), we found a way to communicate very well. I sincerely appreciated her patience with me as I did my best to communicate in French! The town of Cassel was a highlight for us - a great location for anyone wishing to have a convenient base of operations for a historical exploration of the area (we were visiting various significant sites from WWI). The people we met were extremely friendly and hospitable, without exception! We felt welcome at all times. We enjoyed the local bakeries and cafes thoroughly. The stairs in this home are steep, so I would recommend caution when using them. I would also suggest that those with physical or mobility limitations may find them difficult to navigate. Our time at this home, and in Cassel afforded us many memories that we will Cherish for a lifetime. Christine was a gracious and unforgettable host. We have told her that we intend to stay with her again, which I think is the highest compliment you can give. Thank you Christine. Thank you Cassel. Vive la France!

Good base for a trip to French (and Belgian) Flanders

A three-storey old Flemish house, which is tall and thin, quirky and stylishly renovated,pretty much as described, with no garden but a balcony on the top floor. Cassel is a hill town with a lot of history and an interesting walk round the former ramparts (about 50 mins drive over the border to Ypres and a bit less from Dunkirk.) The house is a few minutes walk from a boulangerie and main square of Cassel (with a number of restaurants/ cafes and a wifi hotspot at the tourist office. There is good, free on-street parking in a nearby square. A small Carrefour supermarket is about 10-15 mins walk away. Despite changeable weather, we had a very enjoyable week and will consider returning. Kitchen

A very pleasant owner and gite.

A very pleasant and friendly owner. Gite well located, walking distance to village. Well equipped and meticulously clean from top to bottom. Not suitable for anyone with disability to legs due to steep staircases. Spacious, perfect for a family of 3/4. Gite on main road but there is no heavy traffic so location not an issue, The outside appearance of the building doesn't do justice to the inside. A perfect stay to experience French life, very friendly people in the village.

Très sympathique & Bon rapport qualité/prix

Le gîte se situe dans les hauteurs du Village (très mignon), un parking à proximité pour se garer. Cette charmante maison offre tous le nécessaire pour profiter pleinement de son séjour, le propriétaire n'est pas loin et reste disponible pour toute demande d'information. Bref, nous avons été ravis de ce moment dans une si belle région.

Nostalgic and modern house

The house is old, but beautifully restored. We really liked the old beams and stairways. The bed for one persoon was big, big enough for both the children. The owners were very hospitable. We searched a house in this area because it' relatively close to the Netherlands, but we were really surprised by the historic town Cassel and its surroundings.

Une superbe semaine dans le Nord !

Nous avons passée une très bonne semaine dans cette magnifique maison flamande de caractère, très bien équipée et très confortable. Cassel est idéalement située : proche des côtes, et de la Belgique. A visiter : le musée de Flandres, située sur la grand' place du village. De nombreuses promenades à faire autour de Cassel. Nous reviendrons :)

A little gem in Flandres town

This adorable cottage is only 5 minutes walk from the town centre in Cassel. It's a beautiful old building that has been carefully and tastefully brought into the 21st century. The double bed is very comfortable (and enormous), and the light comes through the windows and the balcony beautifully in the morning. The house heats up quickly if that's what you want, but there are plenty of windows if you want to let some breeze. During our stay we visited Vimy Ridge, Arras, Boulogne Sur Mer, La Coupole, Dunkirk, Calais and Ypres - this cottage is ideally located as you're only an hour's drive away from some great sights. We would be happy to return!
