Staying at the Manoir de Camblain: a honeymoon suite in Artois
The listing is called “Flitterwochen-Suite – Manoir de Camblain”, in other words a honeymoon suite in a manor house, offered by a private host. Expedia files the property under castles, but the name makes clear it is a manoir: a country manor rather than a fortified castle. The photos show a large historic building with a symmetrical façade, many windows and a prominent tower, set in green grounds.
Inside, the listing shows a bedroom with a large bed, a chandelier and a small table with chairs, another with floral cushions and bedside lamps, and a bathroom with bathtub, basin and mirror. Rooms have free Wi-Fi, soundproofing, a desk, a hair dryer, free toiletries, towels and bed linen, an iron and ironing board, and central heating.
For relaxing, Expedia lists a whirlpool and treatments such as massage, facial treatments and full-body wraps (check availability and conditions with the host). Outside there is a garden with a barbecue and a terrace; the photos show lawns, a large stone vase and woodland where squirrels can be spotted.
