Le Shuttle, 2 Nights, 2 Rounds
Set in the northern France countryside near St Omer, Najeti Chateau Tilques is a characterful 1891 chateau hotel with a lake, formal gardens and that classic 'arrive and instantly slow down' feel. The recent refurbishment keeps the period charm front and centre, but you still get the comfort you want after 18 holes.
Location-wise, it works well for a short golf break from the UK. You're just outside St Omer for a wander, a few local restaurants and a proper market-town atmosphere, then it's back to peace and quiet at the chateau. The surrounding area puts you within easy reach of several quality courses, including options around Le Touquet and the Pas-de-Calais coast, so you can base yourself here and play different layouts each day without spending hours in the car.
If I had to pick the headline feature, it's the dining. Le Vert Mesnil is the on-site restaurant and it's one of those places people talk about afterwards. The kitchen has a strong reputation and, according to local history, a young Jamie Oliver is said to have spent time here early on. Either way, it's the sort of hotel where your post-round plan can be just as good as the golf.
Who is this for?
Golfers and couples wanting a calm base near St Omer with standout food and a 'proper France' feel.
Who is it best for?
Food-focused golfers, smaller groups and pairs who prefer charm and atmosphere over a big resort set-up, and anyone planning a golf break that puts equal weight on what happens off the course.

Chateau Tilques has 53 individually styled rooms across the main chateau. Sizes range from around 13 square metres in the entry categories up to roughly 41 square metres in the Junior Suites. If you're staying for more than a night, I'd lean towards a Junior Suite, the separate lounge area gives you somewhere to spread out, especially handy if you're travelling with clubs and kit.
Rooms are designed to suit the building, so expect a mix of period character and modern convenience rather than a one-style-fits-all resort feel. In-room essentials include air conditioning, a TV and comfortable bedding, which is exactly what you want after a day on the course. Bathrooms are modernised and well presented, blending seamlessly with the chateau's original architecture.
A nice touch here is the setting. Many rooms look out over the gardens and lake or face the grounds and surrounding countryside, so if a view matters, it's worth requesting it when you book. The Junior Suites are the pick for longer stays, the extra space and separate seating area make a real difference when you're settling in for a few nights.
Beyond the rooms, the hotel offers tennis courts if you want to stretch your legs between rounds, and the grounds themselves are worth exploring, particularly in the early evening when the light catches the lake and the formal gardens. The main event, though, is still the food. Le Vert Mesnil focuses on seasonal produce and classic French technique, delivering refined, locally sourced cooking that turns a golf break into a proper culinary experience. Breakfast is typically served in the same dining room, with a continental spread that sets you up well for a morning round.
From a golf-break point of view, the hotel suits an unhurried itinerary. Base yourself here, play in and around St Omer and the wider Pas-de-Calais region, then come back for a proper dinner and a quiet night's sleep. The pace here is unhurried, the service is attentive without being intrusive, and the combination of period charm and modern facilities makes it a strong choice for anyone planning a golf break in northern France who wants more than just a place to sleep between rounds.
