Excellent location , great accomodation
A very nice well equipped property. Hosts were very friendly and check in was well organised. Only negative was that the oven wasnā€™t working and though the hosts came round promptly to try and fix it there was clearly a fault with the oven . Despite this minor issue everything else about our stay was excellent . Highly recommended.

Lovely house, great location
The house was perfect for our group of three couples, with good sized rooms, plenty of communal space and a nice garden. It is nicely furnished and in a great location, just round the corner from the station and a few minutes walk from the town centre. Gerald was also a very helpful host.

A fabulous base for exploring this historical area of France. 10 minutes walk from the town centre and excellent hosts who responded immediately to any questions we asked. All three bedrooms had en-suite facilities and the kitchen was extremely well equipped. A wonderful experience.

As others have already said. a wonderful property
Our group of 5 adults was very well accommodated here. The property itself, facilities available, and location were all excellent. Hosts Gerald and Valerie were friendly and helpful whenever needed. Arras is an excellent base to explore the region, and has its own charms. When visiting again, would certainly stay here once more.

Beautiful Location
We had such a lovely stay at this property albeit cut short due to quarantine rule. The house is big and spacious and clean and everything was working. The host even sorted us out with a fan becasue it was too hot to sleep. The location is perfect as its 2 mins walk from main train station and easy drive away to Lille and Somme. We would stay here again if we go over. Highly recommend this place and Gerald and his family are a wonderful host x

Arras holiday house
We had a great weekend in this lovely holiday house within easy walking distance of the city centre. The house is really charming, spacious and comfortable and spotlessly clean. All the bedrooms have ensuite bathrooms which is an added bonus. Easy check in and secure parking on site. Our hosts were very welcoming and discreet. Recommend.
