This was an ideal house for our family of 6 adults, 2 children and a toddler. It was large and wonderfully light, particularly the living-room, which had glass on two sides, making you feel as if you were in the garden. It must be said that the furnishings and decorations were a little shabby, but that made it possible to be more relaxed about the children. The garden was completely fenced, with just grass and trees, making it quite safe for the children to run around and play. They were also delighted by the cupboard full of toys in their bedroom! Although surrounded by other houses, the size of the garden and the surrounding trees meant that it felt completely private. There was an excellent childrens' playground very close to the house, and the beach was about a 15-minute walk. Hardelot-Plage is full of places to eat and has a small supermarket, several good boulangeries (we liked Clement for bread) and a pharmacy. It wasn't easy to find the little side road leading to the house when we arrived (we were using Google Maps), as we had to drive over a kerb to turn into it, so missed it a couple of times.
