The photos on the site were so attractive we booked the gite on that alone, then were a little nervous that these may have been out of date, but it was just as attractive as shown. Warm welcome from the owner, very detailed instruction and attractions book for our information. The property is extreemly well maintained and cleaned, beds and furniture were very comfortable. It is not close to shops or eating places, but being very central it was easy for us to get out and see most of Finistere. We particularly used the free WiFi facility at the Hotel de la Lac nearby in Huelgoat, a remarkably well run eating place. Highlights for us were the remarkable North coast of Finistere and the delightfull city of Quimper. We would have no hesitation in recommending this gite and through association the other, larger, gite offered by this owner. This was the best of very many French holodays that we have enjoyed.

A wonderfully peaceful retreat, with only the rare countryside noise to punctuate the tranquility. This charming, sensitively restored cottage was well placed to explore an area of natural beauty. It was nice to walk around the nearby lanes but to reach any amenities a car was essential. On arrival, the owner was there to welcome us. She had thoughtfully stocked the kitchen with essential cooking staples. She was happy to provide us with useful information about the area and there were books and leaflets that we referred to for our daytrips. The rooms were clean and comfortable. All appliances were in very good working order. A working cd/radio provided entertainment - tv was local channels and no dvd. The rear garden was lovely, with a lean-to conservatory, pretty flowers and a view of rolling fields that lives long in the memory. Heat supplied by storage heaters at extra, reasonable cost and would be necessary for the colder months. We would recommend this property wholeheartedly and hope that you might enjoy your stay as much as we did. Richard and Elaine.

My husband & i rented this cottage for 2 weeks in June this year along with our then 14month old daughter. The cottage is beautiful, set in the peaceful Brittany countryside but still close to local amenities. the property is beautifully furnished, well equipped with a large private garden. The owner welcomed us and was very helpful and friendly.As it was our first holiday with our daughter we were a little anxious as to how it would all go but we need not have worried! We enjoyed an incredibly relaxing holiday and our daughter loved every minute of her stay and slept like a log every night. If you are looking for a relaxing "away from it all" break look no further,you will enjoy beautiful French countryside aswell as lovely beaches close by, we especially enjoyed the beach at Carantec. This cottage is perfectly located for exploring, we had a wonderful holiday and hope to return next year.
