Lovely holiday home
Fantastic hosts who were there to greet us on arrival and departure. The gite was well equipped and the garden was beautiful with lots of great games to keep the teenagers entertained! Plenty of great places to explore nearby too. We would thoroughly recommend La Bergerie for a relaxing break.

Perfect Family Retreat
We are a family of six adults and two dogs who have had a wonderful week at the cottage. The garden is truly spectacular with plenty of activities to keep everyone happy - table tennis, basketball, badminton ... or just relaxing on the sun loungers. The cottage itself is lovely and well equipped for a short stay. The wifi is good. We loved the location as it was a rural setting but not far from Montreuil Sur Mer and the coast.

A fabulous property
First of all Damien & his wife were very welcoming & friendly and throughout all communications were clear and responded to quickly. The house is very well equipped, with nothing required or needed and the welcome gift of wine & honey was a real treat (we went to visit the seller/provide of the honey to buy some to take home, as it was that good). The garden is bigger than even the pictures suggest and is well maintained and beautiful with all the facilities regards varying chairs to sit & lie on & games for teens and kids provided too. It is fenced in and secure for all. Great property, well located to visit Montreuil, Le Crotoy, Saint Valery (we took the Chemin de Fer - great experience), Berck & Le Touquet. All in all a great holiday and would recommend this property to all. Tout d'abord, Damien et sa femme étaient très accueillants et sympathiques et toutes les communications étaient claires et ont répondu rapidement. La maison est très bien équipée, sans rien requis ni nécessaire et le cadeau de bienvenue de vin et de miel était un vrai régal (nous sommes allés rendre visite au vendeur/fournir du miel pour en acheter à emporter à la maison, car c'était si bon). Le jardin est plus grand que ce que suggèrent les photos et est bien entretenu et magnifique avec tous les équipements concernant différentes chaises pour s'asseoir et s'allonger et des jeux pour adolescents et enfants également fournis. Il est clôturé et sécurisé pour tous. Superbe propriété, bien située pour v

A peaceful, rural haven with many highlights
Only an hour from Calais this charming property served the family well for the week. The grounds were immaculate, a large lawned garden with many chairs and tables to sit at and outdoor games to keep all the family amused. The gîte was very well appointed with everything we needed. Comfy, homely and welcoming and very clean. Slight draw was the toilets being downstairs. The location was perfect for us being close enough to small, local towns for exploring, the beaches for walks with our dog and local amenities to supply our meals, all whilst maintaining its rural feel, peace and quiet. A lovely stay!

A super gite, maintained with great pride.
Just returned from a week of cycling with two friends. The gite was superb with many little extras and attention to detail. A beautiful well kept garden with plenty of seats of all sizes, some in the shade. Numerous games provided to play in the garden. Some specials hours just watching the wildlife, including nesting birds and large birds of pray. Lovely owners to welcome us to the property. And great cycling country. Just can’t fault the gite. Thank you for our stay.

Fantastic stay - highly recommend
We have had a lovely stay at this property. The owner was amazing, we were extremely late (nearly 2am) getting to the property due to eurotunnel delays but he still met us there to show us around. The garden was great for the children and the dogs. The house is comfortable and comes equipped with everything you need. I would definitely recommend and stay again.

The Gite really was everything we hoped for! Everything you would need for a holiday is provided for you. The location is remote and peaceful, but a good sized supermarket is only a 10 minute drive away. The owners are extremely helpful, will happily answer any questions you may have, and are contactable at all times. I really recommend this Gite to anyone who wants to get away from it all.

The property is beautiful and in very good condition. The garden is huge and enclosed. Ideal!
We had a very enjoyable stay at St Michel sous Bois. The house is lovely and equipped with everything you need. We had some lovely days out to Lê Touquet, Étaples and Boulogne sur mer. It wasn’t always easy to find places to eat out with what sounded like the best restaurant around being closed for the week we were there and others only serving food at the weekend. That said we always managed something even if we had to drive a little further. We also had a great barbecue night at home. All in all a very enjoyable week helped by the fantastic weather!

Comfortable relaxing escape!
Wonderfully peaceful area, I really enjoyed the fireplace and the large secure garden for kids to play. You could even drive to Belgium for the day. The house is well-kept and cosy. Just bear in mind electricity, cleaner charge, firewood cost and bed sheet rental not included (unless you take your own sheets).

Lovely quiet house with large garden and great outlook
This house is well positioned, easy to find in the village of St. MIchel sous Bois. The garden is large and mainly lawn, but with a sunny clean patio. There are lots of garden chairs etc. The bedrooms are large and neat and tidy. One drawback is there is no upstairs Loo, which means you have to take a trip downstairs in the night if nature calls! The kitchen is well stocked with utensils and saucepans, the oven is easy to use. The main bedroom has a lovely balcony to watch the deer come out of the wood opposite, a lovely treat. Plenty of off road parking, and the road is quiet, except when agriculture vehicles are moving about. We had a lovely stay and would recommend. Note though that cleaning, tax and electricity costs are added on at the end and as we brought our own bed linen and stayed just a week this was quite steep.

Wunderschöner, entspannter Urlaub in einem tollen Haus mit super Garten
Wir durften als fünfköpfige Familie (Eltern und 3 Söhne im Alter von 15, 12 und 12 Jahren) mit unserem Hund in dieser tollen Unterkunft Urlaub machen! Wir alle waren begeistert von dem urigen Haus und dem riesigen, tollen und sehr schön angelegten Garten. Unsere Jungs lieferten sich regelmäßig Tischtennismatches oder spielten Federball. Wir hatten zwar eigene Spielgeräte dabei, aber vor Ort waren genügend Sachen von den Hauseigentümern bereit gelegt. Auch im Haus/Küche ist alles zur Genüge vorhanden. Das Haus liegt zwar nicht in nächster Nähe zum Strand, aber gut zentral! Wir haben von dort sowohl verschiedene Strände als auch Städte angefahren und waren von dem Charme der Städte und den breiten Sandstränden begeistert! Für unseren Hund war der komplett eingezäunte Garten und die zu unserem Zeitpunkt des Urlaubs schon wenig besuchten Strände ein Traum. An vielen Stränden konnte er problemlos ohne Leine laufen. Auch die Vermieter sind so aufmerksam wie man es sich nur wünschen kann. Wir möchten auf jeden Fall wieder kommen, da wir von unserem Aufenthalt wirklich begeistert waren!

Ein sehr erholsamer Urlaub in großzügigem Ambiente. Sehr nettes Vermieterehepaar, für alle Fragen da. Sehr unkompliziert.
