Peace and quiet among the cualiflowers
We had a great stay. Rolland and Marie were great hosts and very helpful. The cottage is lovely and very well equipped. The boat was fun. The only thing wrong with it was the result of the Euro 2016 finals!

Séjour en famille(s)
Séjour très agréable, l'accès par le bac à chaîne dépayse immédiatement et plaît beaucoup aux enfants, comme les promenades en barque. Le gîte est bien équipé et confortable.

Expérience unique
Un gîte au milieu des eaux. On y accède par une barge à chaîne, ce qui contribue clairement au dépaysement. Un gîte très bien équipé : jeux, bateau, électro ménager etc... Un lieu magique où le temps s'arrête.

Un séjour atypique dans un cadre idyllique
Une fois l'emplacement du gîte trouvé (avec maps/Google de préférence) les lieux sont sublimes, confortables et bien équipés. Nos enfants ont adoré les balades en barque, jouer dans les marais, à l'ombre du jardin et les pieds dans l'eau. Un endroit topissime pour les amateurs d'oiseaux aquatiques et forestiers avec les réserves naturelles à 10 min en voiture !

Séjour enchanteur!
Quel bonheur que ce séjour à Clairmarais! Accueil adorable du propriétaire, site remarquable, tout est là pour nous faire oublier le quotidien! Nos enfants ont adoré jouer dans ce jardin aux multiples recoins, superbes balades en barque et apéros du soir au son des oiseaux du marais… Bref, un week end inoubliable que nous garderons longtemps en mémoire! Merci à nos charmants hôtes 😊

Charmant et dépaysant
Le cadre dans lequel se trouve le gîte est magnifique, petite barque qui permet de faire un tour dans les superbes marais. Les propriétaires sont très sympa et répondent vite aux msg ! Bref, un petit gîte atypique que je recommanderai sans hésitation !!!!

Calme, charme et authenticité
Très belle propriété, la restauration est de qualité, bien pensée gardant le charme et l'authenticité des lieux. Le logement est très bien équipé lave linge, sèche linge, lave vaisselle etc... les extérieurs sont aussi à la hauteur, le jardin est magnifique avec ses espaces aromatiques le tout entourée d'eau, un terrain de pétanque, une table de ping pong, etc.. il ne manque rien. Pour une balade en barque vous pouvez demander la location du moteur, que je recommande afin de pouvoir vous immiscer dans les petits canaux car avec les rames ce n'est pas évident. Le propriétaire est charmant, le logement est très propre, bref courez y les yeux fermés vous y passerez un agréable séjour.
