We stayed at the Mil Roses en Baie just to break up a long car journey on our way to visit some frinends in the Lyon region. All the B&Bs that sounded good by the sea were already fully booked, so we resigned ouselves to stay inland. In fact, the house turned out to be perfectly located (especially for nature lovers) right next to the Marquenterre natural park on the bay of the Somme. The owners, Dominique & Didier, could not be more helpful and welcoming. We stayed in the room called Entre Terre et Mer, which was big enough to comfortably accommodate the two of us, our 12 year old daughter, a coffee table (with kettle, infusions & a couple of chairs), and a small desk with free bottles of mineral water. The decoration, which was fresh and airy, made the room look larger that it was (we did not take pictures but you can see the photos on their website). The shower was excellent and the bathroom tastefully decorated. The beach is close to the house, but still an hour's walk in the sand amongst a beautiful wood of pine trees (cars and bikes are not allowed on the path). We arrived quite late and were worried that restaurants might not take customers after 8.30, so unfortunately we were only able to do the first section of the walk, but it really made us want to go back and go all the way to the beach! Breakfast is served in the conservatory, with relaxing views of a lovely garden full of birds and we enjoyed the fresh bread, croissants and delicious jams. Dominique and Didier made every effort to cater for all our needs and make our stay as pleasant as they could, advising us on where to eat, lending us maps of the area, and rushing to their computer in the morning to print out details of the route for the long car journey ahead. When we left they came all the way to the road and waved us goodbye. Our only regret was to only have planned a quick stopover instead of allowing a good couple of days to enjoy all the good things the area has to offer. We'll definitely be back! Just a word of warning: if you are using a sat nav it will try to get you there through extremely narrow roads that run across fields surrounded by ditches, but there is a much easier way. Just make sure you get to St Quentin using the D roads shown on a printed map, and switch the sat nav back on again when you are in the village.…
