Un très bon séjour dans une région que nous avons agréablement découvert découvert
Très jolie propriété, très bien entretenue et bien équipée. Le seul bémol est le manque de commerce à proximité et le manque de restaurant: il faut prendre la voiture au quotidien.

Wonderful, relaxing break!
Really cute, spotlessly clean gite. Very comfortable upstairs bedroom, ensuite shower room and downstairs lounge with English tv and fully equipped kitchen. The wood burner was lovely as we had a lot of rain. Swimming pool was great fun and the garden is divine. Our dogs loved walking in the area. Donna and George are very warm and welcoming, fantastic hosts. Will definitely return :)

Bonnes prestations dans un cadre magnifique qui permet de décompresser et se ressourcer
C'est l'endroit idéal pour décompresser et se ressourcer dans la sérénité. Les prestations sont satisfaisantes Les propriétaires sont très discrets, mais il vaut mieux connaître l'anglais car ils ne parlent que très peu le français !

Peaceful Gite in rural Brittany
Highly recommended. Donna and George are wonderful hosts; welcoming and helpful, yet discrete. George cooked a delicious meal for us to enjoy for the evening of our arrival. The Gites have been tastefully restored, retaining the original features and are full of character. They are comfortable and well-equipped. Outside, are the beautiful gardens and covered swimming pool, where you can wander and relax. The surrounding countryside is ideal for walking on way marked paths and bikes are available for excursions along the quiet country lanes. The coast and other places of interest are within an hour's drive. A haven of peace and tranquility.
