Summary: We stayed at Gite Ecureuil for two weeks with our two nine year old sons. They had a fantastic time playing in the pool, exploring the garden to find where the chickens had layed their eggs. It was a very relaxing location and the pool was a very welcome relief from the 38 degree temperatures. Andrew( the host) was extremely helpful when needed but left you to get on with things. The Gite is very tastefully decorated and comfortable. All in all staying at Gite Ecureuil made for a fantastic family holiday. We will definitely be back. Thank you.

Summary: The accommodation was spacious ,and comfortable . Although only 2 of us staying . it definitely met the criteria stated for up to 5 persons . All the facilities were in good working order , and covered all our needs . A nice large garden with an outside dining area , good shady spaces to recline , although the unsettled weather being such , there were few occasions when the opportunity arose . This also included use of the pool . However this did not detract from the holiday as there were many interesting places to visit all within reasonable distance .. The host Andrew was welcoming , and helpful .

Summary: Had a fantastic time at Gite Ecureuil. Owner was always there if we needed anything but also left us to enjoy our holiday. Gite had everything we needed and my young children loved the grounds to play. The pool being on the raised decking is perfect for little ones. Such a relaxing location but within a short drive of loads of great places to visit. The local Super U just 15 mins drive is huge and had everything we needed. Would definitely like to return in the near future.
