A quiet rural setting with private courtyard parking, the local town can offer all requirements for provisions & dining. Perfect for nature & dark skies, a restful night's sleep is virtually guaranteed. The space *Update Sep 2025 - The pool is now closed early for removal due to damage. There will be a new pool installed in the same area for the new season in 2026. We have reduced our rates accordingly for September and October. Relaxation is the key word here - and in the summer we have an outdoor pool to cool down in, and outdoor dining facilities. The best feature according to our guests is the comfortable beds and choice of pillows. Apparently they're the best beds that they've slept in! The living room is comfortable with ample room for everyone - snuggly sofas, cuddly chairs and enormous cushions for the children! The kitchen is well-equipped and if you require particular implements, we have them! Plenty of crockery, glasses and serving and cooking dishes for those special nights. Subject to weather conditions, our outdoor pool is open from end of May to September due to necessary winter protection for the pump equipment, or at the owner's discretion. The outdoor pool is exceptionally popular in the high season and is situated right next to the patio decking. Guest access You have the whole gite to yourself! Parking is in a large private courtyard well away from the public road. Please note that there are two places in Domfront called La Bigotière so you must follow the map directions when we issue them to you. Other things to note Contact us for special offers that we can arrange with you - longer stays give bigger discounts! From as little as a week to no maximum stay, there'll be a discount! In order to accommodate extra guests, we have had to implement a supplement for extra people staying over, in addition to the seven guests that the gite supports. Please see the charges for further details, or contact us. What 3 Words location: bathrooms evaporates mermaids
