Built in 1766 as General Berthier's residence during Napoleon's siege of Boulogne, the Hotel Cléry is a proper little château stay just south of Calais, set in 12 acres and raised above the Boulogne countryside. It's packed with period character, but you still get the modern comforts you'll want after a day on the course.
If you're looking for a quick Northern France golf break that feels a world away from a standard chain hotel, this place fits the bill. It works well for couples and small groups who like a bit of history with their golf, plus it's handy for getting in and out via Calais for a long weekend.
There's a health club on site with a fitness suite and sauna, which is ideal if you want to loosen up after 18 holes. Food is a big part of the appeal too. Boulogne is a serious seafood town and La Matelote is one of the standout restaurants locally, making it a great option if you want your evening to feel like part of the trip, not just an afterthought.
Who is this for? Golfers planning a short break in Northern France, couples after a romantic château base, and smaller groups who want character and good dining.
Who is it best for? Anyone who values atmosphere and authenticity, wants an easy run from Calais, and prefers a boutique château to a big resort.
