Quiet and rural location but great for getting out and about, comfortable and well equipped cottage with own garden, well equipped games room and pool both of which are very clean. The host are lovely, quick to answer questions before arrival, very welcoming upon arrival (also around during stay for any queries), lovely welcome gift of a cooled bottle of wine, home made brioche and jam (very thoughtful). We took the kind offer of a evening meal (for an additional but very reasonable price) and we are so pleased we did it was delicious and would highly recommend. Thank you Carolynn and Richard for a lovely stay. ##### Nicola L. Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Brian P., Abbotts Ann, Andover, UK 22 Sept 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Lovely gite in scenic rural Brittany Spacious and very comfortable 3-bedroom cottage with lots of outdoor space in a quiet hamlet in a scenic part of inland S Brittany. There are 2 other gites, plus the friendly owners (Richard & Carolynn) cottage on the rural smallholding. On site there is a small swimming pool and a well-equipped games room. The local town is about 4 miles away, a large lake with watersports & beach is 30 minutes drive and the coast around Lorient about an hours drive away. Richard was a chef before moving to France and we accepted the owners' kind offer of cooking a meal for the evening of our arrival - which was excellent and only 12 Euros per person. ##### Brian P.
