“This is a fantastic place to stay prior to an early morning channel crossing. The hotel really is lovely, as are the reception staff. The rooms are clean, modern and very comfortable, and the hotel parking at the rear is very convenient. We chose not to eat/drink at the hotel and instead walked into the town. It's a fair walk to the centre, but it's worth it as there are plenty of lively bars and large selection of restaurants. We had a great final night before coming home to the UK.”
“Chateau Tilques is located a few miles north of Saint-Omer in a small village. The Hotel comprises a Chateau style hotel and grounds, with an external annex of rooms of some size. I stayed in the annex which was comfortable and well decorated. Some minor issues were irritating. The key-light master switch by the door was hard to locate and too complex to insert the key card to turn on the electricity in the room. Trying to do a fiddly task in the dark is irritating. There was no proper light……
“I arrived late, 10pm on the 8th July because of problems on the euro tunnel. The restaurant was very busy, the staff working flat out. They still served me a nice dinner. I really did appreciate that.”
“Only used as a base for one night so didn't use the kitchen facilities but it looked like everything was there.
Shower was ok. Only issue I had was that the tv remote was different to the instructions provided.”
“Lovely Chateau for our 4 day stay.
Ideal central location for exploring Northern France.
Hosts are great, the lady of the house is American & a great cook whilst her French husband speaks fluent English.
Fresh bread & pastries every morning with the usual cheese, ham, yoghurts, juices & coffee/tea.
Loads of parking & a large garden.
We will definitely be back next year!”
“Excellent, unique place. Very friendly, hospitable and accomodating host. Really nice continental breakfast of fresh produce. Overall experience was fantastic and the house is magnificent.”
“Let's start with the positives:
1. Staff friendly and helpful
2. Great central location
3. Nice breakfast
4. Very lively restaurant (in a good friendly way)
However...
The beds are TERRIBLE! The king size ones are two singles put next to each other, mates toppers smaller than the mattresses and one sheet. Awful.
To make it worse, sheets feel like paper and below that there's a plastic sheet making your night squishy and sweaty.
We moved to a smaller queen size bed and at least it was one bed……
“Stayed for 1 night, very clean and comfortable, Isabelle was very welcoming. Bought cold beer from her little shop. Breakfast next morning was beautiful and in stunning surroundings ”
