The Artist's Den, a perfect hide-away in the countryside and by the sea

Charming appartement for two, situated in the centre of the village of Wimille close to the « côte d’opale » and the seaside resort of Wimereux and the historic town of Boulogne-sur-mer.
The appartement forms an independant part of a house dating from 1850. The house stands in an acre of garden which go down to the river Wimereux.
There is free on street parking in front of the house. The village has a grocers shop, a bar and a restaurant. An attractive foot and cycle path is a good way to reach the beach at Wimereux.
We are happy to meet our guests at Wimille/Wimereux station, by request.

The appartement is 50m2, with direct access to a private sunny courtyard garden.
On the ground floor is comfortable living room with fully equiped kitchen area (cooker, microwave, fridge, and washing machine) and wood burning stove.
The first floor has bedroom with a double bed 140cm x 190cm, and bathroom with a walk in shower. Bed linen and towels are provided.
A cot and high chair are available if required.
The garden : Our guests are invited to explore the large garden behind the house and to sit in the sun. The garden, which is cultivated without pesticides, and a wild wood which leads down to the river are shared with the owners. You will often find us at work in the garden. You are invited to feed the hens with left over food and to add your vegetable peelings to the compost heap.
English and French are spoken
Services included : bed linen and towels, electricity, central heating, and wood for the stove.
We ask you to help to keep everyone safe by cleaning the flat at the end of your holiday.

Perfect klein huis voor twee

Bijzonder aardige gastvrouw/eigenares. Verse eitjes en potje bramenjam als welkom. Huis is heel volledig ongericht: van afwasmiddel tot stofzuiger, van broodrooster tot losse terraslamp. Nog geen 10 min. fietsen via landelijk fietspad naar strand in Wimereux, ook maar 8 km naar Boulogne-sur-Mer. Klein terras aan voorkant huis, fijn besloten, maar erg lawaaierig door vele motoren die langskomen. Je kunt ook achter het huis zitten in de enorme, landelijke tuin met kippen en fruitbomen.

Excellent rapport qualité prix

Nous avons passé un très bon séjour dans ce logement très bien situé entre Boulogne et Wimereux. Logement très coquet et bien équipé. Nous avons apprécié le jardin et l’accueil des poules… 🤪 ainsi que le poêle à bois, agréable en soirée. Nous reviendrons

Knus huisje met geweldige tuin

Een fijn huisje! Niet groot, maar dat hoeft ook niet. Het heeft alles wat je nodig hebt. Ook was alles geregeld voor onze baby (klein nadeel: de slaapkamer en woongedeelte zijn verbonden dmv een trap, dus we moesten 's avonds fluisteren om onze baby niet wakker te maken). Zoë is een aardige gastvrouw, en is er altijd als je haar nodig hebt: het is handig dat ze een deurtje verderop woont. En dat beïnvloedt de privacy niet, je hebt een eigen plekje. Én kunt gebruik maken van de geweldige tuin met fijne zit plekken, grote hoeveelheid kruiden om mee te koken, eitjes van de kippen, mooie bloemen... Verder zit je in een mooie omgeving, Wimereux vonden wij een leuk plaatsje om heen te gaan, daar kun je ook mooi heen wandelen vanaf het huisje. Kortom: aanrader :)

Knus huisje

Huisje klein maar prima geschikt voor twee mensen en de slaapkamer is zelfs riant te noemen, ook al is het tweepersoonsbed niet breed, ik schat 1,4 meter. Aardige gastvrouw en gastheer. Mijn vriend, een groot plantenliefhebber, kreeg een mooie rondleiding van de gastheer door de grote achtertuin. Je mag in de achtertuin vertoeven, maar het voortuintje dat grenst aan een provinciale verkeersweg is exclusief bestemd voor de huurders van het vakantiehuisje. Daar hebben wij voornamelijk gezeten omdat we de privacy van de verhuurders wilden respecteren. Fijn is dat de wc op dezelfde verdieping is als de slaapkamer en dat er ook in augustus altijd parkeerruimte was vlak bij dit vakantiehuis en nog gratis ook. We mochten gebruik maken van twee fietsen en je bent via een prachtig fietspad in de natuur in tien minuten tijd in het mooie kustplaatsje Wimille. We danken de eigenaren hartelijk voor hun gastvrije ontvangst, hun goede tips voor uitstapjes, de overheerlijke chocoladecake, de verse eieren en andere traktaties.

About the host

Hosted by Zoé Delmaire

Host profile image
We are enthusiastic gardeners and have lots of experience of building projects. After many years of searching all over France, we found our house in Wimille ten years ago. The house was very run down and the garden had been abandonned for many years. We began the renovation in 2016 and the transformation of the old kitchen and attic into an attractive holiday apartment is our most recent achievement.

Nous sommes des jardiniers et des bricoleurs invétérés. Après des années de recherche partout en France, nous avons trouvé notre maison à Wimille. La maison était en très mauvais état, mais le grand jardin à l’abandon depuis des années à nous séduit. Nous avons commencé la rénovation en 2006, et petit à petit les projets s’achèvent. La transformation de l’ancienne cuisine et du grenier en joli appartement très « cosy » est notre dernière réalisation.


Why they chose this property

Wimille is an attractive village, close to the coast, but sheltered from the wind. Here you have the advantage of being in the countryside, but also close to the town. People say that the front of our house is in a village and the back is in the country !
You can take a green path from the village and walk or cycle beside the river to reach the beach at Wimereux. Two bikes are available for our guests to use.




Wimille est un joli village, près de la côte mais à l’abri du vent. Ici vous avez l’avantage d’être à la campagne mais aussi près de la mer. On dit que notre maison est dans un village devant est à la compagne derrière !

En plus une coulée verte vous offre un agréable accès direct à la mer en vélo ou à pied.

What makes this property unique

For people who love wild gardens and nature. The garden is shared between people and wildlife, we cultivate vegetables without the use of pesticide. The river Wimereux is at the bottom of the garden.

Pour les amoureux des jardins et de la nature. Le jardin est partagé entre l’homme et la nature, nous cultivons notre potager sans pesticides. Le Wimereux passe au fond du domaine.
