Idyllic Setting - Perfect for Families
We really enjoyed our stay and visit to France. This was our first holiday away with the kids since COVID, so we wanted a place surrounded by nature where we could simply relax. The gîte is absolutely perfect for a family, surrounded by natural woodlands and the children loved visiting the horses every morning. We found the location to be perfect for daily trips with so much to see and explore on the Opal Coast. We really enjoyed our chats with Myreille and found her hospitality to go above and beyond. We look forward to visiting again. Thank you for having us! :)

Peaceful haven...
We had a lovely week at Les Pres Billard. Myreille and Herve could not have been more friendly, welcoming, and helpful. The cottage was cool and comfortable despite a heat wave and the view over the pastures and forests was so peaceful. We loved watching the horses, ducks, cows, and forest wildlife cross the fields as we ate our meals. :-) It was also easy to explore the region and the coast line from this location when we felt like venturing out. We would definitely return.

Lovely property in a beautiful peaceful setting which was a home from home. Myrielle was lovely.
We arrived for our week long stay and was welcomed warmly by Myrielle and her husband. The property was lovely, clean and had everything you would need for your stay. The house was spacious and well presented. The setting was wonderful with a area to sit outside and enjoy the fabulous views of woodland and even had a little river running at the bottom of the paddock. Myrielle was extremely helpful with explaining how everything worked in the property and had a wealth of knowledge of the local and surrounding areas and places to visit. We thoroughly enjoyed our holiday and would highly recommend you come and stay at Myrielle's lovely property. We will be coming to stay with her again next year. What a lovely couple Myreille and her husband are.

Fantastic property, lovely location, charming and engaging hosts.
We followed previous reviews and weren't disappointed. A charming old stable conversion with authentic nods to its past life, in a peaceful country location. Nonetheless, just four minutes from the local supermarket, and less than half an hour to the medieval walled town of Boulogne, and the beautiful rugged mix of golden sands and and rock pools that make up the " Opal Coast" from Calais to Boulogne( As a cyclist I regretted not taking a bike.... wonderful rolling roads along the coast and through the undulating forest countryside). A slightly longer drive to Le Touquet ( the kids loved the sand dunes immediately to the south side of the Ibis hotel at the southern end of the resort .... With free parking) via La Course Valllee route ( and chocolate factory) as recommended by Madame Lebuerre ... and the truly chocolate box town of Montriuel . Numerous local markets to explore. Ultimately, a perfect spot to completely unwind in, with or without kids, with or without wanting to fill your days with the many varied and delightful local attractions. Thoroughly recommended.

Une parenthèse fort agréable
Chez Myreille tous les sens sont en éveil : on respire le bon air, le parfum des végétaux. On écoute le chant de la rivière, celui des oiseaux. On se relaxe en observant les animaux, la nature. Que vous ayez envie de vous reposer ou que vous ayez la bougeotte le gîte de Myreille est fait pour vous ! Il est idéalement situé : vous profiterez de la campagne, de la mer toute proche, des nombreuses activités et visites aux alentours. Comme l'ont dit les enfants : "Trop bien le gîte !"

Schöner ländlicher Familienurlaub
Wir haben unseren Urlaub sehr genossen. Das Haus ist umgeben von Natur, es laufen Hühner über die Terrasse, die Pferde grasen direkt hinter dem Garten. Myreille ist eine wundervolle Gastgeberin und hatte mehr Ausflugsideen für uns, als wir in 2 Wochen unterbringen konnten. Unterkunft und Gastgeber sind sehr familien- und kinderfreundlich. Vielen Dank für die schöne Zeit Myreille!

Such a wonderful accomodation with a spectacular view!
Once again we (4 adults and 3 children) spent a wonderful time in the house with its spectacular and very green view onto a horse paddock, huge trees and the nearby forest. It is a great place to be with small children, safe, quiet and secluded. The beds are very comfortable, the tables (both inside and outside) huge, the kitchen well equipped. The surrounding landscape is estonishingly pretty which makes the 30 minutes drive to the cost (great for children) a joy. Myreille and Hervé are perfect hosts, we recommend the accomodation warmly and will surely return. Thank you, Myreille and Hervé!

Our summer vacation at GÏTE 'Les Prés Billard
Myreille is a wonderful host. It’s an absolute wonderful and peaceful place where you can really relax. We enjoyed it that much so that we will pick it again for future vacations. It’s also very suitable for children of all ages.
