Absolutely the best vacation rental

The gite was the most well equipped, well laid out home. It lacked for nothing. The welcome basket was beyond belief - chocked full of breakfast stuff, snacks and wine. The refrig had more wine, milk, butter, etc. Jayne and Scott thought of everything you could possibly want or need. The location is serene with beautifully maintained gardens with flowers everywhere. Most of Brittany's highlights are within a short drive of the gite. Jayne and Scott are prefect hosts who very helpful, friendly and knowledgeable about the area and its history. We enjoyed our stay immensely and now consider Jayne and Scott newfound friends. We look forward to a return visit!

What a gem in the lovely Brittany countryside!

It's an impeccable and so well equipped, lovely cottage with a garden with perfect view into the woods on the other side of the small river!The owners are the perfect hosts and helped with any request we had.As a welcome gift they had filled up the frige with lots of goodies which everyone will highly appreciate after a longer drive (even a couple of ice cold beers!).This was the first house we ever rented (and we rent a lot!) which classifies as "full option"! The was nothing we could think of as missing! From soaps to napkins, from towels to tablets for the dishwasher, from sharp knives to good cutting boards and so on!It is tastefully decorated as one would imagine a british cottage (....yes, in Brittany!), has a comfortable big bed (we did not try the others ) and good chairs and sofa in the living room. With "our" good weather, the outside deck and the BBQ was fantastic and we enjoyed many evenings.Certainly the one with you, Jammyne and Scott! Thanks again for the treat! Within 40 to 60 min. You will find lots of different attractions, like beaches, tiny villages, markets or start right from the house on a great and lonely countryside and forest hike or bicycle tour. We spend two lovely weeks there and highly recommend this cottage!

Un petit coin de paradis calme en pleine nature

Nous avons passé un séjour très agréable au milieu des arbres, fleurs et oiseaux. Le gîte est superbe. Pas mal de belles visites dans la région à condition d'avoir un véhicule pour se déplacer. Les propriétaires sont charmants, très accueillants, serviables tout en restant discrets. Je recommande si vous cherchez le calme et la nature :-)

About the host

Hosted by Scott and Jayne McGowan

Host profile image
We are from Hampshire, England and have been holidaying in France for 37 years. Following redundancy we decided to make the long held dream a reality and buy a home that we could share with people who wanted to escape their busy working lives and enjoy the beautiful Brittany countryside. Apart from the odd tractor, it is away from the noise but within easy reach of all that beautiful Brittany has to offer.

We were lucky to find, and move into, our beautiful home in March 2016. It provided us with our home and a lovely gite . The location is central and gives us the peace, tranquility and the way of life that we were hankering after. The roads around the area are quiet and there is an abundance of wildlife. What more is there to say...... except please join us, you will be very welcome!

Why they chose this property

A warm welcome awaits you at La Maison du Calme with a beautiful self-contained gite, having 2 en suite bedrooms and ground floor cloakroom, set in a pretty rural setting that offers peace and tranqulility for those seeking an escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. For your comfort our gite has double glazing and electric window shutters in both bedrooms to enable a blissful nights sleep

You can enjoy lovely walks, cycling and bird watching or just laze in the peaceful garden We are 3km from Kernascledan with church, small restaurant and home to the La Maison de la Chauve-souris (Bat Discovery Centre, unique to France). 4km from Lignol with 2 restaurants, one also does takeaway pizzas (opening hours variable for both), artisan bakers and post office. 6km from the medieval village of Guemene-sur-Scorff with bakers, shops, cafe’s, bars, banks, and large supermarket. 35km from Pontivy with plenty of shops, café’s, restaurants and most of the major supermarkets. 36km from Lanester/Lorient with large Geant shopping gallery, surrounded by various shops in the Z.C (Zone Commercial) Our location means we are within easy reach of lovely beaches, zoos, ports and lakes. Details of shopping, eating, and places to visit are provided in the 2 gite books.

What makes this property unique

Peace, tranquillity and well away from city noise, but within easy reach of Brittany's historical towns, beautiful beaches and countryside.
