David and Laure were the perfect hosts, very kind and welcoming with lots of top recommendations for restaurants, beaches, local walks and activities. The accommodation was immaculately presented with all essentials provided for including a cot, high chair and baby bath for our 1 year old. The idyllic grounds were perfect for relaxing and the (heated!) pool area was particularly lovely. St Helen had a great bakery for daily morning croissants and a local food market on Saturday. There were also plenty of nearby walking routes from the Gite, including a woodland trail. We hope to return to Le Pigeonnier and this particularly beautiful part of France again soon, thank you David and Laure! ##### CharlieT This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### SarahD May 15, 2024 #### A wonderful holiday Thank you Laure and David for such a wonderful stay. The house is beautiful with everything we could need to make our holiday perfect. We loved that our children (4 & 2) were safe and had the space to play outside and the pool area is wonderful. We stayed the previous year with a large group of family in The Manoir and had such a great time that we returned with our family of 4 this time. There is now a bakers a few minutes walk so we enjoyed fresh croissants each morning. There are some lovely towns nearby and some beautiful beaches to visit. We hope to come and visit again. ##### SarahD ### 10/10 Excellent #### Britt M. Aug 3, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Det skønneste sted!
