We love everything about this place, but the cleanliness is on the excellent level. This is one of the most clean places we have ever been. Rooms are lovely and fresh with eir-con and spacious bathrooms. There is a vending machine with hot and cold drinks and snacks. Breakfast is available at the property. We traveled with our dog which wasn't a problem at all (€6 fee). B&B Hotel is located in city centre within walking distance from shops, bars, restaurants etc. Staff speaks English. We are very happy and will return in the future.

FAQs about hotels in Somme

Rural Region With a Sombre Side

Although forever to be remembered for a horrific World War I battle, the Somme has returned to the sleepy rural region that it once was before being ravaged by war.

The Somme River, which it is centred on, enters the English Channel at a delta between the pretty medieval village of Saint-Valery-sur-Somme and Le Crotoy with its sweeping beach.

This part of the Picardy coastline is popular for relaxing France beach holidays amid unspoilt nature. The marshy terrain attracts rich birdlife, and seals bask on beaches between Mers-les-Bains and Fort-Mahon-Plage, just 2 resorts offering Somme Bay hotels on Booking.com.

Of course, the region’s more sombreing side should not be forgotten, and evidently it is not. The many immaculately tended war cemeteries are fitting tributes to the thousands of men who lost their lives. At the centre of the battlefields, small Albert is surrounded by Somme cemeteries and remembrances, including the poignant Memorial to the Missing in Thiepval. Amongst its reminders, Péronne has the Story of the Great War Museum within a 13th-century castle.

Most Somme hotels are in Amiens where a grand 13th-century cathedral towers above colourful waterfront cafés and river island gardens. Hundreds more islands are in the river between here and Abbeville, a town which suffered greatly through war, although 15th-century St Vulfran’s Church remained largely unscathed.

Madame Vacances Les Terrasses De La Plage

Cayeux-sur-Mer
Scored out of 10, guest rating 6.9
Pleasant - What previous guests thought, 666 reviews
The area is gorgeous, with natural reserves, long empty (stone or sand) beaches, seadogs, cliffs, forests, hiking paths... We liked also visiting villages like Mers-les-Bains, Saint-Valery-sur-Somme et Le Tréport. In Cayeux-sur-Mer there's a really good bakery, nice closed market (3 days/ week) and bars (L'Embuscade near the market, and two at the beach). Madame Vacances was perfect to visit all this. Really friendly staff and nice well-equipped tiny apartment at the beach front. We couldn't make use of the swimming pool (because under renovations most week), but in any case it's tiny and best for children. We asked for the WiFi code for the rooms because the free WiFi at the lounge didn't connect well and this was perfect for us (as we had to work a bit during the week).

There were interesting places everywhere; the various quarters of the itself, the little train that takes you in old fashioned style to Le Crotoy or Cayeux, the boat trips out to the farthest point where it is possible to view seals and amazing bird life, boutique shops and food discoveries. For the young at heart the cycling opportunities were endless and very safe, as are the hiking experiences. With good wellingtons it is possible (with a proper guide) to go out onto the marshes at low tide and view the wild life up more closely, such as crested cranes and the ecosystem. Further afield there are lovely, long forest walks in the Cressy forest and a visit to the battlefield of Crecy (August 1346) where a much smaller army under Edward III and his son, the Black Prince,routed many more French soldiers and mercenaries by clever strategy and the English longbow. A very small site but very atmospheric

Abbeville is a hidden French gem, close to everything . Near beaches, war memorials ( battle of the Somme ) chateau's to see and the shopping is great. People are friendly. Lots of money has poured into Picardie due to Macron and this being his home area. Paris is close and so is Amiens and its canals and catherdrals. Abbeville has stunning old streets and houses and beautiful Catherdral. A well kept secret

Le Crotoy is a village we have been coming to for many years. It is a perfect holiday destination with excellent beaches, bars and restaurants. Hotels are good, in particular Les Tourelles and there are many small towns worth visiting. The steam railway to St Vallery and Cayeux is well worth doing. There is a market every day of the week in a nearby town. If you like fish this is the place to come to.

It was in open environment free of traffic and congestion. Friendly area. Arrived late in the evening and their hotel was closing at 11pm. So popped around the corner to McDonald’s around the corner.

The hotel was fabulous. Excellent accommodation and really good food. Couldn't ask for more. The hotel is located some 2 - 3 miles outside of Ault in a pretty village on to a small beach surrounded by cliffs. Easy access with good parking facilites. The nearby town of Ault is a small and quiet place with beach and Casino. We were out of season so very little open, but good local population out enjoying life.

I love Albert as it makes an excellent base for exploring the Somme, I have based myself here a number of times. There is a great museum in the centre of the town, the historic basilica and some lovely architecture. There are a few small restaurants in the town centre and a great Asian buffet on the edge of the town. It is not the town for lovers of nightlife, its a slow relaxed town.

We came for the Rederie.

We came for the Rederie. Overall we had an excellent experience. Huge event, very well organised, the streets felt super safe and secure. We found lots of good and interesting things at fair prices. We enjoyed our interactions with the majority of stall holders. BUT - one sour note, we found some traders suggesting ludicrous prices - vingt-quatre euros for things not worth vingt euros. We suspected that they were offering special prices for the English. And this was confirmed - we overheard several saying things like "When we hear the English accent we put the price up!" Well take note - a)most English people understand French and b) that attitude spoils things for everyone .... We would also have liked there to have been a higher percentatge of more specialist stalls - a very high percentage of the stalls seemed to have a pretty random selection of items for sale rather than focussing on specific areas of art and design. This made it difficult to tell one street from another. Amiens is a handsome city, with very good buildings from all ages, and very clean, civilised streets. And its very easy, and enjoyable, to get around - on foot. Meanwhile, the city bus network is excellent - the buses are frequent, inexpensive and its easy to buy tickets and understand destinations and correspondences. We LOVED the museum. Fabulous collections - archeology, paintings, sculpture. Brilliantly curated and displayed. Marvellously informative labels. Superb architecture - inside and out.
