Peaceful and quiet - Excellent
The second time here after 5 years but only for three nights. I was amazed how quiet it is no white noise. The weather was awful so didn't need the barbie but did use both wood fires and even cooked on the one in the kitchen. Lots of wildlife even saw squirrels from the lounge. Nice clean and tidy. Hopefully back soon. #loveit

Damp/Mouldy
Damp was the first thing you could smell when you opened the door. There was a dehumidifier in the living room that was full and had cut out. There was damp/mould in all the downstairs rooms. The Gite manager admitted this was an ongoing problem. The place itself was filthy, the dining room table was sticky, there was mould in the cooker and every corner and crevice had not seen a cloth in a longtime. VRBO Did not help us and don’t deem damp as a health issue and are still not helping us. We had to book alternative accommodation ourselves which they said they would reimburse us for, the email we have to reply to is not monitored anymore. The guestbook has pages ripped out take from that what you want. All in all the property was a major disappointment. VRBO Threatened that if we left the property no further help would be offered. We had to send photo evidence to prove the state of things. We sent the evidence and they accepted the issues. Then the next day they said it wasn’t enough. I told them I had video footage and could send it to them. They said no. VRBO BWC GUARANTEE ISNT WORTH THE PAPER IT IS WRITTEN ON. Sarah Jayne, thanks for ruining our holiday.

Glorious house in beautiful countryside
We loved our 10 days here - August 2022. A beautiful, old, large house which is very comfortable. Lovely beds and showers, well-stocked kitchen with all you could ever need. Added bonus was the use of bikes (including an electric one - which 17 year old enjoyed) - ideal for the morning run to pick up bread. Lovely countryside all around, about 45 mins to the north coast and several interesting towns around 30 mins away. Loved the house and hope to be back in this part of Britany again soon.

Home from Home
After a long and tiring drive made up of accidents and dilemmas we arrived late at the property and all our upsets and troubles went away. The home is lovely, well presented and spacious. It is private, well laid out and as a family with 2 teenagers we felt we all had space to chill. The owner had given plenty of good information on the area, and we felt that a week was not enough to see all that the area has to offer. The owner was very supportive when being informed of our late arrival and was a very pleasant person to deal with. It is definitely somewhere to be experienced and we do intend to return.

A beautiful house in a great location
We had the pleasure of staying at this house for a week in late May 2017. The house and grounds are well maintained. The bathrooms look recently renovated. The large eat in kitchen was a pleasure to cook in. Don't get me started as to how much I covet the large oven and range. The pictures are a very fair representation of the rooms and the house is actually a little bigger than it appears. We chose the house for two reasons. First, I wanted to see the cute red refrigerator in person (it did not disappoint). Secondly, the property was no more than one hours drive from everything we wanted to see and do. I have no qualms recommending this house for your first or returning visit to Brittany.

Amazing
The house is enormous, has all the mod cons you would need. 3 big bedrooms and great beds. Visiting the tourist locations in the north and the south of Bretagne takes some driving effort but we knew that when booking. ( you will need to drive a minimum of 45 minutes either way to reach your destinations ). unfortunately for us the weather was terrible so we were nog able to enjoy the amazing exteriour. Would highly recommend this place

Authentisches bretonisches Haus mit wunderschönem Garten
Das Haus ist in einem großen Garten mit vielen Bäumen gelegen und lädt zum Entspannen ein. Eine große Terrasse mit Grillplatz wurde viel von uns genutzt. Das Haus ist sehr groß und die Räume sind komfortabel und sehr liebevoll eingerichtet. Die Küche verfügt über alle notwendigen Utensilien, nur Schneidemesser könnten von besserer Qualität sein.

Simply great!
The house is really great. It is very clean, with very nice decoration and enough place for more people. You can find in the kitchen everything you need. The surrounding area is the best if you want to recover and want to have silence. You hear nothing around, we enjoyed this very much. Of course the next supermarket and restaurants are a little bit far away, but this should not be a problem, a bakery and butcher with a small market is in Meneac. Thanks to Sarah for the uncomplicated and reliable procedure before our journey, and for the hints we found in your booklet. Best regards from Germany Daniela and Dieter

Superbe longère. Spacieuse , très bien équipée. Literie impeccable et propreté irréprochable. out est parfait pour nos amis Anglais. En effet la Télé pointe sur un satellite Anglais et le manuel d'accueil n'est pas traduit en Français. Dommage. D'autant qu'il n'y a personne pour vous accueillir, les clefs sont dans un boitier externe très difficile à ouvrir. Nous avons quand même passé un agréable séjour.

Une magnifique demeure spacieuse et confortable où l’on se sens bien. Un grand jardin (terrain) bien entretenu. Le seul petit bémol de cette location est le salon très humide mais caractéristique de ces demeures en pierres. À 20 minutes de la forêt de Paimpont, idéal pour un séjour calme et un excès de randonnées...
