La Cour de Remi

We spent another 2 nights with friends at La Cour de Rémi, such a lovely rural place to come to, experience very good food, mostly locally sourced from local farms and day boat fishermen, well researched wines and a peaceful and spacious room to sleep in. Service is as always, jovial and professional. It's delightful and well worth a stay either on returning home to the UK or at the start of a break or holiday. Very, very good value for money and such a relaxed atmosphere. We have introduced so many of our friends to La Cour and in turn, they come back time and time again.

First the good stuff. Room lovely and clean. Staff very professional and nice people. Bed comfortable and free parking. A great place for a stopover for bed and breakfast. For us though I am afraid both the room and the restaurant were disappointing. The room was quite bare, with just plain whitewashed walls. No pictures. No comfortable seating in the room. The bathroom did not have a shower, only an attachment which had to be pulled up from the bath. The bath had high sides so it would have been difficult for a child, or a less mobile adult to use. The breakfast was perfectly fine. We found the food in the restaurant in the evening a bit problematic. Perhaps it wouldn’t have mattered so much if we hadn’t chosen to stay here because it was advertised as a gourmet experience. The pork belly was undercooked with a chewy rind and what seemed to be undercooked fat. I literally couldn’t swallow it even after chewing. Pork belly is not something you can get away with undercooking. The cod was nicely cooked but bland. Cod is a good fish but always needs something with it to make it special and this fish didn’t have it. My crème brûlée did not have a crackly surface and the egg mixture was slightly going towards scrambled in my view. I think it would have been helped by some vanilla. The tarte Normande was a bit on the dry side. The hotel is in an isolated location with no village shops nearby as far as we could see. This means that you are reliant on the hotel facilities but there were no communal areas except for a bar area next to the restaurant. We saw no French families eating there although there were quite a few UK clients (it’s a short drive to Calais - an hour and 10 minutes).

We have stayed here 4 times and the welcome is always warm and friendly. Nothing is too much trouble for Sébastien and his team. The rooms are very spacious and the grounds are beautiful. We always have a great stay. Thank you. Trish

This was a brilliant place to stop on our way to Strasbourg from Calais. An hour or so outside Calais, it was an easy and pleasant drive. Beautiful property with amazing grounds and such friendly staff. The beds were so comfortable and both the bedroom and the bathroom were kept very clean. I think our room used to be stables and there were still the drinking troughs in the room. The food was absolutely delicious both for dinner and for breakfast the next day. We loved staying here and will definitely return when we are next in the area.

Wonderfully peaceful property in a predominately farming area. Quiet and easy parking. Not much nearby, therefore good for relaxing. Magnificent restaurant with local products and good wine options. Fantastic tasting food, nothing too fancy, just wonderful country cooking with high quality ingredients. Very helpful and friendly staff as well. Our room was huge and comfortable, except the mattress is a bit old. We enjoyed the relaxing bathtubs in the room. Highly recommended.
