George and Donna were able to combine the neatness and spotlessness of the best British tradition with the rural hospitality of Britanny. The hamlet with three gites is quiet, secluded, and has a great garden with lot of small activities. Top notch. Big recommendation.
We had a geest week in this beautiful cottage. The garden is big and has kots of hortensias and other flowers and trees. Nice pond. The cottage is cosy and has all you need. Location is ideal for trips to carnac, vannes, concarneau, St malo, cancale, josselin etcetera. Very friendly and helpful hosts.

Thankyou Gert , we are so pleased you enjoyed you stay here. We would love to see you again in the future and hope your next week is a good one also.
Stayed in June 2025, it was wonderful! Such a special peaceful place. There is everything you could possibly want from the pool, games, BBQs, peace, wildlife! It is really perfect if you want to get away from it all- yes you absolutely need a car to get to everywhere but it’s only a short drive from so many beautiful places! Donna & George are lovely hosts and are always on hand! Book it , you won’t be disappointed
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.

We are glad you enjoyed the gite and gardens. Our village bar, restaurant and depo pain is due to reopen in September , unfortunately its last landlord had to close down due to Covid causing lack of income.
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.
