Another shout out for the Logis Hotel Auberge de Moissons in Matougues. We stayed here on the way home from Spain in the summer and liked it so much we went back just for one night this weekend.
It's three hours from Calais on the autoroutes, four-and-a-half avoiding tolls. I can't pretend it's the best riding you'll ever do, but the coutryside is pretty enough, especially through the vineyards in the Champagne region. But it's handily placed if you're heading back to Blighty from further south.
The hotel is like a 60's motel, with the rooms all arranged around a central courtyard. Nothing outstanding, but comfortable, quiet and warm. Private secluded parking and I noticed today that there seems to be garage parking available too (though we didn't use it either time).
The restaurant is really very, very good.
A twin room, great buffet breakfast and a posh meal (including a 50 euro bottle of Champers) cost us £240. The room, B&B, was £120. they have a boulangerie on site where you could buy very decent looking sandwiches and great pastries and cakes too.
