A wonderful property and location for enjoying peace and tranquility.
A delightful Gite with all the necessary home comforts for a relaxing and enjoyable stay. Owners very welcoming and good communication throughout the booking process. Would definitely recommend.
The best gite in Brittany we have stayed in. Beautiful grounds, stunning countryside. Owners were on site whilst we were there. Extremely friendly and helpful but discreet.

Tranquil and comfortable
A lovely quiet week in a really comfortable gite spent enjoying the beautiful Brittany countryside and wonderful coastline together with the interesting towns & villages. Shame we had to go back to the daily grind and that the weather wasn't a little kinder to us.
If you’re looking for peace and tranquility in rural France this lovely Gite will meet all your needs. This comfortable and well resourced property is a great base for exploring the Morbihan region of France . The owners are very welcoming and easy to communicate with making booking and information for a good start to
The property is private with a well equipped kitchen plus quality bedding and towels. The bath and shower rooms were modern, (a good powerful shower!). The welcome pack on arrival was appreciated as were the aperitifs. The garden area is peaceful and relaxing. An improved internet connection (speed) would be a bonus, the fibre line is on the pole outside the property! Access to the gite (steps) could present some problems to someone with mobility issues.

A little paradise in the middle of Bretagne
We had the loveliest time in Kersidan. Our time there came in the middle of our European holiday, so it was a perfect place to recharge our batteries.
We loved the cottage. It had everything we could possibly need and was just so restful and quiet. And despite getting lost every time we went out (!!!) we found many wonderful walks in the surrounding area. We didn't cover a large area but hopefully we can come back some day to see more.
Many thanks Mark and Alison for making this part of our trip so pleasant.

Peaceful and charming house in the countryside
We had a great time in Kersidan in October. The house is very cosy and comfortable. We enjoyed sitting in the garden. And at night we looked at very bright stars in a pitch dark heaven, since there is no light pollution. We visited nice, not too big, cities in the neighborhood as Plouay, Le Faouet, Quiberon and Port Louis at the seaside. We liked the French formula of having an excellent lunch in one of the above mentioned cities and a simple dinner at home. Our favourite restaurant was Le Relais du Marquis in Plouay. Shopping in the nearby Intermarche in Guemene is fun, they have almost everything... We highly recommend Kersidan. Thanks Marc and Alison!

Perfect location
From the outset, the booking process which Mark & Alison have in place was faultless and comprehensive. Upon arrival we found the gite to be exactly as described. From our perspective it was full of character, was of a high standard and is in a perfect location. Worthy of note is the very comfy kingsize bed. We holiday in France each summer and having stayed in many gites we would place Kerisdan in our 'top two'. The area of southern Brittany is ideal for us and we know it reasonably well, but Mark and Alison have the gite well stocked with local info for you to plan your holiday. The local boulangerie, which we used most mornings, is in Ploerdut, which is about 4 miles away and Guemene is about a 10 minute drive with local shops, fabulous restaurants and a supermarket. Beaches are within easy reach, as are many beautiful towns and villages to explore. We tended to go walking most days (lots of info about routes are in the gite) but the area is also very good for cycling be it on road our mountain bikes.
Très bon accueil et très bon emplacement pour découvrir cette partie du Morbihan et randonner sur les nombreux chemins.
Le gîte est très confortable à 2 et est très bien équipé. Le jardin est agréable.
Beaucoup de balades, de découvertes de forêts, decgrans espaces, de chapelles, de calvaires, de fleurs sauvages.... Pour qui cherche la nature et des moments de solitude, c'est parfait.
Nous pensions que le gite était plus près de Vannes, c'est notre faute ! un peu loin de tout ! Mis a part cela, il ne manquait rien, très joli, coquet, jardin magnifique et voisin charmant.
Nous le conseillons si vous désirez être seul et tranquille par contre si vous souhaitez visiter, un peu loin de tout
Des vacances de rêves !! Tout était parfait !! Si vous souhaitez voir des gens , entendre le bruit des voitures...ne venez pas !! Il fait hyper calme.....on a même peur de parler trop fort !! Vraiment...exceptionnelle....
Merci
MARC & ALLISON vous accueille dans un endroit charmant et délicat. Beaucoup d'oiseaux et de fleurs des papillons. Un jardin et une petite maison coquets et confortables avec tout le nécessaire pour un séjour paisible. Les alentours nous ont eux même ressourcés avec des visites de paysages frais et verdoyants, les chemins en creux pour la fraicheur des randonnées, de l'eau partout et des rencontres culturelles riches. Merci encore pour l'accueil, de bon produits aussi ! Tout un régal. Sandrine et Francis
Sehr schönes Ferienhaus mitten in der Natur.
Abseits vom Trubel kann man hier noch die Ruhe genießen.
Es ist ein sehr guter Ausgangspunkt für Ausflüge in alle Himmelsrichtungen, welche wir täglich unternommen haben. Alles ist prima und zweckmäßig eingerichtet und geschlafen haben wir auch sehr gut.
Diese Unterkunft können wir auf jeden Fall weiterempfehlen.
De locatie was prima, het huis was erg gezellig en goed ingericht. Het cadeautje bij aankomst was een leuke verrassing.
Erg attent dat de gastheer en gastvrouw nog een mailtje stuurden om te informeren of alles in orde was.
As always in this type of property one has to be open to new experiences, the quentness the semi isolation and wild life however that is what it is all about. What you can do though is explore this part of Brittany which beautiful and historic.
Lovely, comfortable gite in beautiful quiet yet super central location
The gite was very well equipped and cosy. The lovely owners supply you with a super complete information pack which makes you feel you are already on a relaxed and well organised holiday as soon as you read it. The owners gave us a very warm welcome and are very kind and hospitable yet respected our privacy at the same time. The surroundings are lush and green with many nice villages and sites nearby and also located very central to explore Morbihan and Finistere in (half) day trips. Nearest beaches are only approx 45 min. drive.
