LOVERLY PRIMROSE COTTAGE

We have enjoyed one of the most comfortable stays we can remember. Our hosts Irene and Norman could not have done any more to make our stay more memorable. Great company, accurate and very knowledgeable and local advice. A very central location to all of the WWI sites, the coast and we even had a day trip to Ypes. Irene and Norman also organised another week in a cottage in a nearby village of St Remy au Bois. We can only recommend Primrose Cottage in the highest possible terms. We absolutely loved it!!!! Thanks Irene and Norman. We really hope to be back.

Our stay in Tortefontaine

This property is immaculate. It is extremely well supplied with everything you could need, clearly a lot of thought and effort has gone into ensuring this. The bed is very comfortable. Our hosts Norman and Irene were very friendly and helpful with good local knowledge. Ideally located for visiting the opal coast. We had a fabulous fortnight here. Andrew and Susan Leah.(July 24)

Nice

Leuk huisje met alles erop en eraan. Ook zeer aardige eigenaars. Omgeving is leuk om te fietsen, maar ook af en toe golfen. Voor ons een fijne plek, waar je je prima een weekje kunt vermaken. Ondanks dat het weer niet helemaal mee werkte.

Ruhiger Jahreswechsel

Wir wollten einen ruhigen Jahreswechsel mit unserer Huendin geniessen. Norman und Irene haben uns vorab versichert, dass es kein Silvesterfeuerwerk in Tortefontaine gibt. Alles ist genauso eingetreten. Danke nochmal an die perfekten Gastgeber Norman und Irene und die liebevolle Vorbereitung des Cottage. Gerne wieder!

An excellent stay with charming hosts!!

The cottage is perfectly equipped, functional and delightfully decorated. There is a small, peaceful garden and a picnic table under a large tree for hot days! A plus for the high quality mattress (for weak backs!) Irene and Norman are charming, discreet and gave us plenty of suggestions for outings and visits. A valuable address to keep!

Alles Top

Das Häuschen war top ausgestattet. Mit unseren Hunden fühlten wir uns wohl, da man gleich die Umgebung zusammen auskundschaften konnte. Traumhafte Lage in der Natur. Fern ab von Lärm und Betriebsamkeit. Jedoch schnell in der Ortschaft Hesdin mit dem Auto. Hübsches, typisches französischnes Städtchen mit allem drum und dran. Unsere Gastgeber sind super freundlich und sehr hilfsbereit und gaben uns tolle Tips für jeweilige Ausflugsziele. Wir kommen gerne wieder! Irene and Norman ein grosses Danke an euch ihr seit einfach Klasse ! Liebe Grüsse aus der Schweiz

Excellent hosts

Hosts live on site and are friendly but not intrusive (Also have Charley the dog which is a bonus). Property is small but well equipped and furnished and is impeccably clean. Also you have a private garden area and access to rest of grounds to hide from sun. Location is quiet but beaches and towns easily driveable within 10 to 35 minutes so all options covered. Would certainly recommend.

About the host

Hosted by Mrs I Wood

Host profile image
We started coming to this area by means of renting a friends house to get away from our busy working lives.We liked this area and could travel from our house in sussex to Hesdin in 3 hours so it became a regular trip.
when some 5 years later my husband was offered early retirement we decided to take a chance and buy a property here.

we enjoy the all the area has to offer and family,friends and grandchildren visit often.

Why they chose this property

we like this area and the people in the village made us very welcome.
we spent 6 months renovating the cottage, taking all the bits from friends gites we liked and tried to put them into our own.
Some 15 years later we are still enjoying and looking forward to our guests arriving.
Many now return again and again.

What makes this property unique

The cottage offers all things to all sorts of people ,we enjoy meeting people and feel in a small way that for what ever reason they come to visit be it a first holiday, a special birthday or anniversary or just to get away from the stress of busy working lives that our guests have a good holiday and for a time they can relax and enjoy their stay.
