Good base for exploring WW1 Somme Battlefields
We used this property as a base for exploring some of the WW1 Somme battlefields which worked very well. The property is on the bank of the Somme itself and was on the frontline in 1916. Francois, the property owner, was very responsive and helpful with queries. Note that the property is in a small village and a short drive from the nearest restaurants and shops.

We had a wonderful relaxing stay at the end of May 2022. A great spot to recharge and as a base to tour the Somme area. The view from the terrace is fantastic and one we didn’t want to leave.

Beautiful location
We spent 3 most enjoyable days at Vaux, thoroughly enjoying our evenings watching the lake and it’s visitors. How lovely to hear a cuckoo and watch a red squirrel in the garden. The property was easy to find and our purpose for staying was to visit the Somme and we travelled easily to all the key sites. We would definitely stay again.

Great peaceful location and lovely cottage
A great short break in the Somme, visiting the main WW1 sites. The house is in a lovely peaceful location with great walks by the river. The house has everything you need and was very warm thanks to a superb log burner! Would visit again for sure 😊

Lovely gite in a scenic and quiet location
A very spacious and comfortable gite. Great location for exploring nearby WW1 battlefilds. All amenities provided and we enjoyed our stay. The nearby bar and restaurant in Curlu is recommended and the owner is very friendly. Disappointing when advertised that internet is provided that we found we had to pay for it. Very unusual nowadays. We used the free wifi at Poppy's café in Albert. Great café and lovely food. Overall we loved our 6day stay.

Nice and quiet house, and plenty to do locally.
We chose this house as we have small children and it was far enough away from Calais to be an adventure, but not so far that the journey would be boring for them! We had a great time staying here. The house had everything we needed and sitting on the balcony overlooking the lake in the evenings was excellent. The washing machine and drier proved useful, particularly for kids clothes!! There was plenty for a young family to do. We were fortunate that the local fete was on whilst we were there which we loved. We went on the little train at Froissy which the kids loved and was also a good history lesson. We found a free makeshift beach and swimming pool in Peronne which the kids didn't want to leave. Plus we spent days in Amiens at the zoo, and visits to several other small towns which we came across. There was always a local bar for coffee, or a beer, and a bite to eat. There were plenty of local shops and supermarkets to keep us supplied. We found everybody we met very pleasant indeed. The only thing that stopped this property being 5 stars was that it was unfortunately very dirty when we got there and we had to clean it. I have highlighted this to Aurelie ( who was delightful throughout the whole booking and arranging process ) and she was most apologetic and will raise matters with her housekeeper to avoid further problems.

Lovely quiet house in good location
We just spent a week here. The house is in a very quiet area on the Somme River. It is a great location for seeing all the history. The living space has everything you need to self cater and you have a lovely water view. The bathroom is downstairs which was a bit tricky for me as I have a bad knee. I didn't realise it was 2 story when I booked it.

A gite with a view!
The location of the Lake House is amazing with views across the lake from the house and garden. The sun rises on the opposite side of the lake making a beautiful start to the day if you're lucky enough to have sunshine, which we were, every day! The main living room is bright and airy and very comfortable with a balcony for sitting and alfresco dining. It's well located for visiting the area, especially the war cemeteries and memorials. It is also a good area for walking but you need to take your own refreshments as we found few villages had shops, bars or cafes. There are many small picturesque villages and the towns of Albert and Corbie are really worthwhile visiting. We especially liked Corbie. We can also recommend hiring a guide to view the war sites. We did a half-day tour with an excellent guide from the Tourist Office at Albert called Flora who spoke very good English. She was worth every euro, she gave us so much extra background information .

Highlight ist die Aussicht von Terrasse aus
Der erste Blick hinterlässt in der Regel den Eindruck !!! Wenn man kein Problem hat mit viel Staub,weil runde Ecken geputzt werden, mit Spinnen gut klar kommt und die Einstellung hat wie wir,haben erstmal die Toilette geputzt,in der Küche Geräte gesäubert und entkalkt,dann ist dieses Haus okay.Man wird mit der Aussicht auf den See sehr belohnt, am Abend kann man der Eule zuhören, das hat einiges wieder gut gemacht. Ich möchte erwähnen das die Terrassentüre nicht zu verriegeln ist,wenn man weggeht muss mann das Rollo per Stange runter drehen und mühselig wieder rauf drehen.Der Zugang zur Haustüre und zum Garten ist sehr steil,das hat noch keiner erwähnt,durch leichten Mooswuchs kann es rutschig sein,bitte aufpassen.Ich könnte hier noch mehr schreiben, aber jeder sollte sich seine eigene Meinung bilden, die muss ja nicht gleich mit meiner sein!!! Wir haben uns trotzdem eine schöne Zeit gemacht, wenn es auch geregnet hat.Die Umgebung ist sehr schön, Fahrradfahren und wandern sehr gut.Wir waren mit unseren Hunden da und konnten schöne Spaziergänge machen. Der Kontakt zum Vermieter einwandfrei und sehr freundlich.

Erholsamer Urlaub in traumhafter Umgebung
Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt und konnten uns sehr gut erholen. Der Balkon mit Blick auf den Weiher ist wundervoll. Wer die Natur liebt, erholt sich schnell und kann eine Vielzahl verschiedener Vogelarten erleben. WC im EG, Schlafräume im OG, das bedeutet Treppensteigen. Wer nachts öfter los muss, hat es nicht so leicht.

Week end en famille
Nous avons séjourné à 7 (adultes) avec notre chien. Logement au calme au bord de l'eau. Bon équipement de la cuisine (four, frigo, machine café, bouilloire,...), vaisselle en quantité suffisante. Chauffage efficace avec le poêle à bois. L'espace au rez de chaussée est un plus. Notre séjour était très agréable et les propriétaires réactifs à nos questions

Très bel endroit tranquille, charmante maison
Notre weekend prolongé s'est très bien passé. Il faut aimer la campagne et la tranquillité. La maison est charmante et les propriétaires sont très gentils. L'internet ne fonctionne pas toujours, ce que nous n'avons pas trouvé très grave. Les villes et villages autour sont charmants.

Une maison tout confort avec un cadre idyllique
J'y suis allé en septembre de l'an d'écriture de ce message. Un temps parfait pour l'observation animalier et plus particulièrement ornithologique. Je remercie les propriétaires et autre intervenant pour leur sérieux. La maison était confortable, l'extérieur avec jardin face à l'étang, l'était également (pelouse tondue). Facile pour garer la voiture et sortir les affaires après l'arrivée. L'espace environnemental est de toute beauté. J'ai l'habitude de choisir mes vacances en fonction de la présence de rivière ou fleuve. Et là, c'est complétement conquis que je repart. Un cadre magnifique, charmant et reposant, idyllique en somme, c'est époustouflant. Je partage à nouveau mes remerciements envers les propriétaires.

We had an amazing week in this wonderful house. The kitchen and the gear were good, the beds were fine (not superb), but the place and its surroundings are absolutely beautiful! A really wonderful place to walk, swim, take a day trip to a nice city, or just chil out in the garden. As said, we've had a wonderful week!

La maison est totalement conforme à l'annonce !
Nous avons passé une excellente semaine dans la maison du lac. La région est magnifique et lorsqu'on rentre à la maison, le calme et la vue sont parfaits. La maison bénéficie de toutes les commodités nécessaires. Nous étions 2 adultes et c'était pour nous très spacieux. Normalement, elle peut accueillir jusqu'à 6 personnes mais ce n'est pas le cas du fauteuil 😉 Au rez-de-chaussée, une table de ping pong et une belle bibliothèque ! Le jardin est magique avec la vue sur le lac. Il manque uniquement une petite table pour manger les bonnes viandes cuites au barbecue 😇 François a communiqué avec nous avant et pendant le séjour, il est serviable et disponible 👍Nous nous sommes rendus à Bray-sur-Somme pour nos différents achats (boulangerie, pharmacie, petit supermarché) et c'est vraiment suffisant ! Nous recommandons vivement cette location 👌

Adorable maison familiale bord de la Somme , un hameau de paix avec un grand jardin et une magnifique vue sur un lac paisible.

On se sent chez sois,grace a l'accueil chaleureuse et irréprochable des propriétaires que même si ne sont pas physiquement sur place, sont à l'écoute, et à disposition pour toute nécessités et conseils. Dizaines d'espèce d'oiseaux, cygnes, et bâtiments d'ailes désignent l' horizon!
