Hôtel Red Fox – Le Touquet

Set right in the middle of Le Touquet, Hôtel Red Fox is built for golfers who want everything on foot rather than in the car. The beach, boutiques, cafés and restaurants of this popular Channel-coast town are all a short stroll away, while Le Touquet Golf Club and the area's other courses are an easy drive out and back. It's a city-style hotel rather than a resort, so don't expect pools or spa facilities; the appeal here is simplicity, value and location. Rooms are compact but well kept, with comfortable beds, en-suite bathrooms and enough soundproofing to cope with a central spot, and breakfast is served each morning in a straightforward continental style. For golfers happy to trade resort extras for convenience and a lively evening scene on the doorstep, it's a sensible, good-value base for a short northern France golf break.
