Le Clos Xavianne

I stayed a week at Le Clos Xavianne, using it as a base to explore WWI battlefields. Xavier was the perfect host. He helped me enjoy my week in Ribécourt-La-Tour in so many ways. Examples: He let me drive his tractor, he did my laundry, he drove me to see WWI sights nearby, his B&B is clean and comfortable, his homemade jam is to die for, he patiently spoke French with me. I could go on but suffice it to say that I had a very good time at Le Clos Xavianne.

Absolutely agree with all other reviewers about this being an ideal place to stop en route to places further into France. But it is also a wonderful place to spend a little more time, to relax and unwind and to enjoy its charms. It is delightful. We stopped for one night last year and liked it so much we have just returned from a 3 night stay. There is plenty to see and do in the local area, both culturally and historically. Host Xavier is knowledgeable, helpful, generous, engaging and charming. We hope to return again soon!

A stopover B&B on our way south. Very well finished and spacious room. The host was very friendly and helpful.

What a beautiful place to stay at. Our host Xavier was an absolute pleasure with a lovely sense of humour. In short, the hotel is worth every single penny. It is located in a beautiful, gated court yard and there was nothing we could fault about the accommodation, cleanliness, service or amenities. Ribecourt-la-Tour is a village steeped in the history of WW1 and you are reminded about it everywhere (Xavier has even unearthed shells and parts of tanks in his fields). I am torn about recommending this beautiful hotel as I want to keep it a secret for my next visit but that would be doing Xavier a disservice!

A wonderful B&B in a charming village, with a helpful and friendly owner - thank you for a pleasant stay. Although we only stayed overnight on our run from Alsace to Calais the welcome we received and the comfortable room (and rainfall shower) we're just what we needed after our previous 7 nights in the campervan. After booking to stay here I found that the village had been central in the battle of Cambrai in WW1 and there was a British war cemetery half a mile from the B&B. The cemetery is impeccably maintained, but probably doesn't see many visitors so I made a point of visiting and laying some of the wild poppies that grow along the road. There is also a second cemetery (The Railway Cemetery) a similar distance in the opposite direction. We would definitely stay here again on our way either to or from Calais (about 1.5h drive).

Our third visit here as a stopping off point to/from Calais as it’s 8km from the A26 Lovely family room, great breakfast with home made jams, secure parking, wifi and a marching band made from watering cans The family room is really two rooms, plenty of space. Breakfast is simple but with excellent coffee, croissants and a delightful host
