À La Maison Du Bonheur, guest rooms and a chalet in Audruicq
À La Maison Du Bonheur is a guest house in Audruicq, in Hauts-de-France, with rooms, a chalet, a garden and parking. Travellers mainly praise the owners' welcome and the calm of the place (4.9 on Google). I see it working well for a stopover or a quiet weekend towards Calais and the coast.

Where À La Maison Du Bonheur is in Audruicq
À La Maison Du Bonheur is in Audruicq, in Hauts-de-France, at 363 Rue Georges Mauffait. It is a quiet spot, close to the stations in Calais and Dunkirk and to the Cap Blanc-Nez cliffs.
Several travellers stress the location. It is peaceful but close to the centre of Audruicq, and you can walk to the market, the shops and the parks. If you come by car, the parking is right in the hosts' garden.
For me, it is a good option if you want to sleep quietly without moving far from the coast.
The rooms, the chalet and breakfast
The house offers guest rooms and a chalet, two options that the reviews mention. The rooms are described as clean, welcoming and comfortable, sometimes with the shower in the room.
According to the property, the rooms have:
- a sitting area with a flat-screen television;
- a private bathroom with shower, hairdryer and free toiletries;
- free Wi-Fi.
Breakfast is one of the strong points. Guests call it generous and varied, with pastries, yoghurt, jam, coffee and cheese. An older review also mentions meals made with local, fresh produce, so ask whether dinner is still available.
The chalet has appealed to couples on a weekend away, and one guest stayed there for several months and remembers it very fondly.
Garden, terrace and shared spaces
The house has a garden with a terrace, designed for relaxing, and a play area for families. That is what the property's description says.
The atmosphere is friendly. One guest even recalls that in summer there were small evening gatherings between holidaymakers and owners. If you are looking for the anonymity of a hotel, this may not be for you. If you enjoy a chat with your hosts, you will feel at home.
What guests say
On Google, À La Maison Du Bonheur has a rating of 4.9 from 28 reviews. The same words come up again and again.
The first is the welcome. The owners, Annick and Gilles, are described as warm, attentive and helpful. One guest who had trouble with the stairs says they adapted the rooms for him. Next come cleanliness, the calm and how easy the place is to reach. Several guests say they want to come back.
In the reviews I read, I found no criticism at all. That is rare and worth saying, but it also calls for a little caution.
What to know before booking
These are the points I would check before booking.
- Some reviews are old. Several date back a few years, so ask whether everything is still the same.
- The stairs. If mobility is a concern, mention it when you book. The hosts have been accommodating in the past.
- Breakfast and meals. The description refers to a buffet or continental breakfast, but the arrangements can change. Check with the hosts.
This is not a large hotel with a reception open all the time, and I have no information on that. Let them know your arrival time.
Who it is for and what to do around Audruicq
I would recommend it to couples, to travellers passing through to the north, and to anyone wanting a quiet weekend. It also suits families, thanks to the play area.
| Your trip | What the house offers |
|---|---|
| Stop on a drive | Parking in the garden and easy access |
| Weekend for two | Chalet or room, quiet, warm welcome |
| With family | Garden with terrace and play area |
Nearby, you can reach Calais, Dunkirk and the Cap Blanc-Nez cliffs. If you want to compare with other places in Hauts-de-France, there are also Ma Gentilhommière in Croutoy and L'Escale du Vexin in Chaumont-en-Vexin. I cannot tell you more, as I do not have their information.
Passionate about travel and about the kind of places that turn a getaway into something unforgettable. I love writing about hotels, country houses and charming hideaways, helping every traveller find the perfect place to rest and feel at home.
