Gîte Le clos des lilas à Ovillers-la-Boisselle - à 4 Km de Albert

Think this was my 5th stay. Always have a pleasant stay in La Boiselle. Shame this year the small bread shop has closed in the village but Albert only a couple of minutes away. Thanks for a great week.

Een heel goed ingericht huis. Prima ligging, maar 380 km. vanaf Utrecht. Rustige omgeving en centraal voor geïnteresseerden voor de 1ste Wereldoorlog. Langs de Somme kun je heerlijk wandelen.

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Ovillers. The reason we came at this time of year was to visit the grave of my great-great Uncle, George Henry Howard, who was killed in the Great War. He died on August 29th 1918 and we wanted to visit his grave on the 100th anniversary of his passing. We love this part of France and have visited the Somme region many times over the years. I have arthritis and use a walking stick and the area is mostly flat so it's easier for me to get about. I chose this gite because it's all on one level and has everything you could possibly need for your holiday. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend a stay here.

We received a warm welcome from Mme Margotin, and the gite was all we could have wanted. It is well-equipped, modern and with all required facilities. Its situation is ideal for exploring the Somme battlefields, and we were able to walk from the gite to the Lochnagar Crater, Fricourt and to Thiepval. Albert, with shops, supermarkets and an excellent museum, is a short drive away and there is an excellent boulangerie in Fricourt. The Somme Valley, at Cappy and Curlu, also a short drive away, provided bases for lovely canal and riverside walks. All in all, an ideal location and a great place to stay. Booking was simple and straightforward. Highly recommended.

This was our third visit to Le Clos des Lilas, and we hope it will not be our last. It is ideal for two couples, and very well placed for exploring the WW1 sites - not just the battlefields of the Somme, the autoroute network means that day trips to Flanders, Mons, Verdun or Compiegne are all possible - as well as the countryside of the Somme, Ancre and Canche valleys. The gite is well equipped and very comfortable to come back to relax in the evening, and to plan the next day's excursion, or it's a short drive into Albert, or a walk to The Poppy Restaurant at the edge of the village. Merci pour un sejour tres agreeable. A l'annee prochaine!

This was our third visit to the cottage and pleased to say that it still remains a high standard. we were fortunate to have good weather, but even when a couple of the nights were cool the heating was more than adequate.Pleased to note that there are no hidden extras as in other cottages in the area The cottage is well situated for restaurants and rail links to Amiens, Lens and Arrass. Plenty of walks and WW1 monuments and sites. Intend to return in the future!

As my title says this was my 4th stay at this Gite. It just provides everything we want, clean, warm and cosy. Lots to see locally and close to Albert for groceries. Little shop 2 mins walk away for bread is also a bonus. Owners are next door and always helpful. Looking forward all being well to staying next year.

This lovely gite was as good as our friends had recommended. The furnishings and equipment were exceptional and the master bed is the comfiest I've ever slept in in a holiday let! Anne explained everything on arrival and was very welcoming. The position of this gite is well set for visiting numerous WW1 memorial sites and exceptionally close to Pozieres where I have a family member acknowledged. We were in easy walking distance of Lochnagar Crater too, which, although we didn't know of its existence before our visit we found extremely interesting and sad all at the same time. It is definitely a place for reflection. Would highly recommend this Gite to anyone wanting to visit the Somme area.

The gite was beautifully furnished and equipped, everything we needed for a great stay, even down to tea towels and oven mitts. The Margotins were helpful, supplying discount vouchers for museums and leaflets for places of interest, also a Michelin guide in English. We had a great stay and went as far as Ypres/Ieper (1.5 hrs) for the Menin Gate ceremony at 8pm - not to be missed. Locally, a visit to Beaumont Hamel was a success with the Canadian guide taking us into the preserved trenches there. The son et lumiere at Amiens cathedral was amazing, and well worth the trip out in the dark! For cyclists there is a shed to leave your bike in and a cycle trail from Arras to Amiens, 90km. Tourist Information in Albert were very good and helpful, make this your first call! Would definitely recommend to a friend. We would recommend to a friend.

This is a lovely well equipped house and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The property is in a rural location walking distance to the Lochnagar crater and located between the sausage and the mash valleys. The supermarket in Albert is 5 mins drive for all your needs. Having been to the Somme before we concentrated on more personal stories and the more remote off road locations such as point 110, The Citadel and cemeteries on Redan a Ridge all within a short drive from this property. The owners of the house are next door if needed but left us to our own devices. We had a great week and would happily visit here again being a easy drive from the tunnel.

This was our first stay at a gite and our choice could not have been any better. This was a very comfortable property in a quiet location with the town of Albert a short distance away and an excellent restaurant (Le Poppy) in walking distance. The property is within the Circuit du Souvenir and a 10 minute walk from the Lochnagar Crater. We will be happy to return!
