Le Clos Boutenelle Eperlecques

Review by hotel critic

As an archaeologist with a penchant for cultural immersion, my recent stay at Clos Boutenelle was both restful and enriching for my family. Nestled along a quiet lane in Eperleques, this Napoleonic-era house offered a welcoming retreat, ideal for families. We stayed in the spacious Mirabeau room, which provided a harmonious blend of comfort and charm. My two children, able to stay free as part of the family-friendly policy, enjoyed the expansive garden. They laughed and played in the verdant space, making it a perfect site for family bonding. Breakfast in the private dining room was a standout moment. While my wife and I savored the traditional French offerings, our children happily indulged in baguettes and preserves, creating a pleasant family atmosphere. Though we chose to picnic due to local eateries being closed on our stay, this allowed us to explore the local market and bond over the cooking experience back at the hotel. Gilles, the gracious host, was attentive and helpful, enhancing our experience. In summary, Clos Boutenelle is a wonderful choice for families seeking tranquility and a touch of historical charm-a fitting base for our journey into the past. We look forward to returning.
