This property is located, as named, at the edge of the sand dunes on the beautiful Sangatte beach and as a bonus, close to the channel tunnel for our return journey the next morning. There is secure, free on-site parking. The bedroom and shower room were both spacious and clean with ample storage in both. The bed was very comfortable. The owner was friendly and informative. The breakfast was very good with a varied choice. Overall, we would consider staying here for a few nights on our next trip.
The only minor blip was the bedding. Although the bed itself was very comfortable, in my opinion, the sheets were thin, not of the best quality and laid over a plastic sheet mattress protector. The pillows seem to have been filled with assorted lumps of foam and were probably the most uncomfortable I have experienced. Everything else was so good that it seems a shame to mention these points, but it would not be very costly to remedy these somewhat penny-pinching issues.

Fantastic location right next to a sandy beach and sand dunes. Despite being August not overcrowded at all. Laura is an exceptional host and provided superb facilities and lovely breakfasts. Just a lovely relaxed 3 days in an area from far from Calais but a previously unknown coastline, to me which was great.
I asked for eggs for breakfast and she said no. I need protein and it was carbs heavy. I did have yoghurt on day 2 though. But otherwise great stay.

This is a great place. Lovely room - lots of windows and very bright. Great double shower wet room and toilet. Good bed. Outlook to sea and beach. 10 minute walk to great beach bar ( out of hearing distance ) - L’Aviateur , just opened 3 weeks ago - fantastic service, personnel , snacks and great choice of drinks - right on the beach. Great beach. Lovely hostess - and good breakfast! Good private and secure parking.
Nothing.

The location directly at the foot of the dune is great with no road to cross to get to the sea. The view on the dune and the sea is interesting: passing ferries seem to float on the dune and you hardly hear them! The bed is comfortable and the breakfast is good. The small terrace, with a small table and chairs, is a plus, too.
We would have liked a comfortable chair to read...
