Built on the remains of a 17th century manor, Chateau Tilques is a neo-Flemish chateau nestled in the heart of large, landscaped park in the heart of the Audomarois region, a protected natural park which surrounds the small village of Tilques. Just a 30 minute drive from the channel tunnel and ferry ports, this romantic retreat is situated just 3 miles from the historic town of Saint Omer, and offers a taste of the charm and romance of rural France. The Hotel boasts château-style and more contemporary rooms, some with balcony or terrace, overlooking the ornamental lake or gardens which are home to many exotic birds. The bright, elegantly appointed guestrooms are decorated in light colours with patterned fabrics each offering excellent facilities. Overlooking the park, Le Vert Mensil restaurant is set in converted stables with exposed brick walls and a log fire. It serves food of the highest quality, traditional French cooking with dishes such as Seabass Pannaquet with aubergine and red wine and grilled Contrefilet of beef, along with wine drawn from its fabulous and extensive wine cellars. It also houses an elegant bar hung with chandeliers and served by a roaring fire. In ten acres of lush parkland dotted with sun loungers and umbrellas leading down to tennis courts, putting green, and a boules pitch this lovely hotel, with free public parking is a great location for a special and relaxing short break.
