Welcome to the farm of Wolphus website!
B&B - Chambers D'hotes in the heart of the French
Countryside
A romantic setting in a hamlet in the countryside, the farm
of Wolphus is situated between Calais and Saint Omer, and
is surrounded with a relaxing park of 15ha grounds including
a private car park for staying guests.
The Wolphus farm contains the original details of history
such as the pigeon one of 1790, the enclosing wall of the
garden of 1840 still protects some of the old trees in the
park to this day.
The farm of Wolphus is a family property and has been in our
family for generations. I returned to the Wolphus farm back
in 1979 and at that time there was quail breeding.
We arranged the 1st lodging at the end of the house in 1984
and In 1986 we opened lodgings at Easter in time for our guests
to enjoy the holidays.
So successful were the gites that the 2nd lodgings were soon
required on the farm as well as the 3 rooms of hosts on May
1 of the same year, by 1994 the large lodgings for 6 people
in the court was arranged.
The tourists appreciated the offering of small quail eggs
for breakfast. Unfortunately due to health problems we were
obliged to stop the breeding of quails in 1991 and we made
the move to transform the livestock buildings into Gites and
Bed and Breakfast accommodation.
We opened the studio in 1992 and renovated the old Pigeon
house in 1998 and added the Well in 2002.
In 2006 between June and September saw the hatchery become
new lodgings and the gardens were opened.
The Wolphus farm is only 20 minutes from the Channel Tunnel
and Calais ferry terminals, the lodgings sleep (6 to 5 people)
and rooms' hosts (10 people) in comfort. For a week-end or
more, come with family and friends and discover the charm
of these "gîtes" at the farm.
Shops in the nearby village include a baker, gift shop, florist
and a supermarket. Visit our local restaurants and sample
the regional cuisine, or have an aperitif in the village bars.
We enjoy breakfast time together…
Breakfast consists of our home made jam and assorted pastries
(croissant, pain au chocolate, baguette) coffee, tea and freshly
squeezed orange juice Served at 8.30 am
The region is historic and geographically rich so don't hesitate
to ask us for any activities you wish to do or any place you
would like to visit, it would give us great pleasure to help
you discover our region and its environment in a calm and
independent way and are looking forward to having you as our
guests!
