Ferme de l'abbaye — Hotel in Arras

This b&b is located on a farm surrounded by trees in the countryside between Arras and Cambrai. It made an ideal base for visiting the WWI monuments in the area by car. Despite the age of the building, it is a charming structure that is undergoing renovations. Our triple room (which could have slept four) was modern, large, and clean. It contained a separate bathroom and toilet and had a shared eating area with fridge and kettle just outside the door. It was dark, quiet, and the bed were comfortable making for a good night's sleep. Our only complaint was that the room was quite chilly, due to the cool spring weather, and the heaters had already been shut-off, which made sitting around without being bundled up uncomfortable. The breakfast is served in a large dining room with the other guests. It includes: cereal, milk, fresh bread, pastries and toast, jams, yogourt, tea, coffee, and juice. While there was much to choose from and the food was delicious, the quantities were in short supply, especially for multple people dining at one time. Our host could have had times been a bit more helpful. All-in-all, a good place to stay, especially given the great price of under a 100 euro per night for...

We usually stop at 'Etap' style hotels but found this gem at much the same price (if you include breakfast). 60 euros for a large double with ensuite and separate toilet, TV and free WiFi. A very comfortable bed and best of all, no noise to disturb your sleep. Breakfast was continental but included yoghurt and as much toast as you could manage with what looked like home made jams/conserves. There was also a small kitchen area shared with another room with brewing facilities and a microwave. The hosts, M and Mme Choquet were very friendly and spoke reasonable English. The location is ideal for visiting Arras (about 20 minutes) and the Vimy Ridge which we visited the following morning ( being about 40 minutes away). It's just off the A1 (junction 15) on the Dury road (D956) There is also a nearby Commonwealth War Graves cemetery just down the road (D939) in Haucourt which is worth a visit. We travel between France and the UK quite a lot and will use this B and B/Chambres...

We stayed here for two nights and had a lovely time in this charming and picture perfect farmhouse. The rooms are large with lovely high ceilings and great facilities. My room was particularly nice with a large bath and views of the yard.||||We had a nice breakfast with freshly warmed pastries and we were treated to homemade jam as well! Some meats and cheeses would be a nice addition but that is the only fault. ||||Downstairs is a small kitchen which although a little dark is perfectly fine for preparing an evening meal. We sat outside on a beatiful sunny evening and felt very lucky to enjoying some delicious wine and food in such a beautiful location - there's a large hyper U a 5 minute drive down the road.||||In the village of Dury there is a pizzeria/ bar were we also enjoyed a few beers after a day of cycling.||||||We recommend this farmhouse without hesitation.||||Thank you...
