Accommodation
This beautiful B&B which offers the services and features any small hotel would envy, is located at the epicentre of the battle of the Somme. Once ravaged by gun and shellfire, No.fifty6 is now an oasis of peace and tranquility in the beautiful French countryside.
Located in the village of Guillemont within the heart of the Somme battlefields area, Guillemont Halt is a self catering holiday home which can accommodate up to 11 guests in spacious and comfortable surroundings. The house has a unique feature from the 1914-1918 war. An infilled German bunker has been discovered under the location of the original house, which was rebuilt after the 1914-18 war. The bunker and stairway was excavated during the recent renovations and a glass panel has been installed in the living room to show a small part of the dugout.
Situated in the quiet village of Hardecourt aux Bois at the point where the British and French Armies launched into The Battle of the Somme, Chavasse Farm and Snowden House at Longueval are ideally situated for exploring the Somme battlefields. The Farm is within walking distance of some of the most infamous battlefield sites, including Guillemont, Maltz Horn Farm, Trones and Bernafay Woods to name but a few.
