A place to slow down and unwind
We picked this location to explore Brittany from the centre. It’s a great place as a base to visit all the main tourist attractions in Brittany. There is little very locally but the Gite is well equipped and perfect for a restful stay. Andrea and Luke were perfect hosts, very responsive and supportive during our stay. We travelled with a dog and the garden was contained enough to let her roam. Andrea booked the vets for our return to the UK which was easy and local. August is very quiet in rural Brittany due to many locals taking vacations which does mean going further afield for choice of restaurants and shops. (Local restaurant needed booking ahead) We found most attractions were about an hour away. The exception being Lac de Gueridan only twenty minutes away and is stunning and good for water sports. Sadly dogs are not allowed on the beach around the lake but we found a couple of quiet areas for our exuberant lab to have a cheeky dip! Great holiday, we fully unwound from high pressure jobs and reconnected with our Gamer teenage sons!

About the host

Hosted by Andrea Twelves

Host profile image
We moved out to France in 2012 to take on this lovely group of holiday cottages, but also to try and experience the best of the relaxed French family orientated lifestyle, and the culture. We have worked hard on bringing the cottages up a high standard whilst also trying to have some time off to enjoy as much as possible of the local area so we are able to give lots of recommendations to our visitors. We are also trying to be a little more sustainable, growing our own fruit and veg, producing our own firewood and keeping chickens for fresh eggs, not quite on the scale of "The Good Life" though! We have really enjoyed the experience, both of living in France, and the fun of running the cottages.
Andrea Twelves purchased this Cottage in 2012

Why they chose this property

Our search for the perfect property took three years and we lost count of the number of properties we looked at! In the end we found what we were looking for; a traditional stone building with character, within easy distance of lots of things to see and do for our guests, with easy access to major transport links, remote enough to have lots of fresh air and inky black skies with twinkling stars but very easy access to shops, restaurants etc. An added bonus was lots of our own land and enough renovation work to allow us to put our own stamp on the building. The main road running down the centre of Brittany is only 4 miles from the gîtes and access to the whole of Brittany is very easy; you are at the heart of Brittany with all the advantages that brings.

What makes this property unique

Situated in a small hamlet about a mile from the nearest village, the shop has a café & bar. The local town has several great restaurants (including one with a Michelin star!) as well as supermarket, boulangerie, butcher, creperie, chemist, doctor etc. Chateaux, Medieval ruins, them parks, shopping, and culture are all an easy drive. Less than ten minutes away is the 400 ha lac du Geurledan (the largest lake in Brittany) which is great for swimming, kayaking, water-skiing or just enjoying the sandy beaches. It also has great walks, cycling and horse-riding routes round it. The Tour de France passes through, and every year you can see the teams training in the local area. The cottages are unusual in having both large private gardens, and even larger communal areas, giving you the best of both worlds.
