Wolphus Farm is situated in Northern France, in a quiet hamlet between Calais and St Omer. The Farm is surrounded by 15 hectares of beautiful parkland which includes plenty of private parking for our guests.
The Farm still contains many of the original parts of the house and grounds, including a statue of a pidgeon that dates back to 1790, the enclosing garden wall from 1840 and some of the oldest trees in the entire park.
Wolphus Farm is a family run business and the property has been in our family for generations. I returned to the Wolphus farm back in 1979 and at that time there was still quail breeding happening here.
We opened our first accommodation at the end of the house in 1984, and in 1986 we opened another around Easter: just in time for our guests to enjoy their holidays here.
The Gites were so sucessful that the second one was soon required on the Farm, as well as three B&B rooms, which opened for business on May the 1st of the same year. By 1994, Large Group Accommodation was required for six people, and this was arranged in the Courtyard of the Farm.
The tourists used to be offered small quail eggs for breakfast. Unfortunately due to health problems we were obliged to stop the breeding of quails in 1991 and we made the move to change the livestock buildings into Gites and Bed and Breakfast accommodation.
We opened the studio in 1992 and renovated the old Pigeon house in 1998 and added the Well in 2002.
In 2006 between June and September saw the hatchery become new lodgings and the gardens were opened.
The Wolphus farm is only 20 minutes from the Channel Tunnel and Calais Ferry terminals, the gîtes sleep 5/6 people and there are B&B rooms enough to host 10 people in comfort. For a week-end or more, come with family and friends and discover the charm of these "gîtes" at the farm.
Shops in the nearby village include a baker, gift shop, florist and a supermarket. Visit our local restaurants and sample the regional cuisine, or have an aperitif in the village bars.
