Hi Deryn,
We're so pleased that you enjoyed your holiday. Thanks for taking the time to write a review. For some reason it says that I have written the review, how strange.
Kind regards
Adele
Lovely house& garden set in rural countryside.Everything you need is in property. So peaceful & quiet. Hosts very friendly and welcoming. Thoroughly enjoyed our first family trip abroad
We had a wonderful stay at this lovely gite! Our hosts were right next door to help with anything we needed (including supplying logs for the woodstove!) Cozy and comfortable! We are looking forward to our next stay.
What a beautiful place this is. The cottage itself is very clean and nicely decorated. The rooms are spacious and beds super comfy. The garden with decking and pool area is stunning for entertaining the kids and adults - especially with Ronnie the duck chasing pigeons! Adele and Andy were wonderful hosts who are always on hand for any queries you have and know the local area well. The cottage is very peaceful and a short drive from the local amenities and attractions. Would highly recommend this stunning place.

Hi Sophie,
Thanks for taking the time to review your stay, I really appreciate it.
It was lovely to meet you all, I hope you’ll visit us again.
Enjoy the rest of the summer!
Adele & Andy.
We stayed at this gorgeous French house which really was the most beautiful and peaceful place to stay. Adele and Andy were so welcoming and helpful and they really couldn’t have been any lovelier. We absolutely loved the property and grounds and having the amazing outside area for eating outside and the swimming pool to cool off really was such a great thing for us and our children. We also loved the ducks and chickens that were very well behaved. I would definitely love to come back and can’t rate our whole experience highly enough.
We had a wonderful family holiday here, the cottage is lovely, in a brilliant peaceful setting with some gorgeous scenery and gardens. You do need a car to get about, but we knew this before we arrived, and there are many villages worth visiting, so we were happy with this. The kids loved the pool and went to see the chickens/ducks every morning as well. Adele and Pep were so helpful and knowledgeable about the local area. A pleasure to chat to and very welcoming. We’d recommend to anyone, and hope to return one day. Thank you for a wonderful time! x
Peaceful, clean, comfortable and completely relaxing.
This property was presented in a clean, well equipped and comfortable condition. Adele and Andy, the owners, live next door and were extremely friendly, helpful and made us feel like old friends. If you’re looking for a lively nightlife and exciting surroundings this would not suit you. This is probably the most peaceful, rural and relaxing location. No loud music, traffic noise or any other disturbance. Quite perfect.
Tolles uriges Ferienhaus in der Mitte der Bretagne. Etwas abgelegen von der nächsten Ortschaft aber super Ausgangspunkt für Ausflüge in alle Richtungen in die Bretagne. Super-nette Vermieter!
Unsere Woche bei Adele und Andrew war super schön. Das sehr schöne Steinhaus war toll und sehr idyllisch gelegen auf einem riesigen Grundstück, das wir inkl. Pool ganz für uns alleine hatten. Das Haus war gut ausgestattet für unsere 5köpfige Familie. Der Pool und die Terrasse waren herrlich, vor allem unere Kinder nutzten jede Gelegenheit um reinzuspringen.Adele und Andrew waren sehr nette Gastgeber. Sie standen für jede Frage zur Verfügung. Der Check-in war ganz unkompliziert obwohl wir unsere geplante Ankunftszeit mehrfach geändert haben. Wir wurden sehr herzlich empfangen. Wir haben uns in dieser schönen und idyllischen Unterkunft sehr wohl gefühlt.
Nous avons passé de très bonnes vacances. La maison et le grand jardin avec sa terrasse et sa piscine sont magnifiques et très agréables.Adèle nous a très bien accueilli et nous a fait goûter les légumes qu'elle cultive (quelle merveille).Nous n'avons qu'une envie, c'est de passer de nouvelles vacances dans ce superbe endroit.
Merci beaucoup de nous avoir permis de participer à ce petit paradis. Emplacement très calme, mais tout est facilement accessible en voiture. Adele était toujours disponible pour nous si vous avez des questions. Nous reviendrons avec plaisir.
Dans un lieu tres agreable, un vrai havre de paix, nous avons pu passer 4 jours entre visite et temps de repos. Adèle a anticipé toutes nos demandes avec une grande discrétion. Un lieu à conseiller.

Excellente demeure rénovée avec goût au milieu d'une campagne tranquille et assez proche de visites formidables.
Très bon accueil de nos hôtes et immense jardin où passer du bon temps.
Nous avons passé un excellent séjour dans une maison magnifique, propre et avec tout le confort. Le jardin est très bien entretenu et immense. Les propriétaires sont chaleureux et très serviables. Merci encore pour l'oeuf de Pâques. Nous reviendrons certainement.

About the host
Hosted by Adele Pepperell
Owners Adele and Andrew bought the property 20 years ago, originally as a holiday home. After falling in love with the Breton way of life they took the plunge and moved to Brittany on a permanent basis, 15 years ago. They have renovated the main farmhouse in which they live and have converted a former cow shed into beautiful a holiday cottage. With over 30 years experience as a general builder Andrew has continued to work in Brittany. He is a keen golfer and fisherman. Adele was previously a Community Nurse but now spends her days looking after the gite, gardening and caring for their animals, which include 2 dogs, chickens and ducks.
Why they chose this property
We bought the house in 2005. Although at the time it was in need of renovation we could see the potential it had to become a fantastic family home.
We love the countryside location. It really is a relaxing place to be!!
What makes this property unique
Our location in central Brittany makes it an ideal property, offering both the quietness of the countryside and easy access to the surrounding towns and villages.
