Wir hatten eine tolle Woche in diesem hübschen Häuschen mit wunderbarer Aussicht auf den Garten. Ruhig gelegen, tolle Ausflüge zum Strand 1,5 bis 2 h Fahrt. Nette und hilfsbereite Gastgeber. Merci Guette et Pascal !
Das Anwesen liegt zwar weit ab von allem, hat aber alles was man braucht. Das Haus ist gemütlich und liebevoll eingerichtet, der Garten ein Traum und die Vermieter hilfsbereit, unkompliziert und sehr nett! Wenn wir wieder in diese Gegend fahren, dann möchten wir auf jeden Fall wieder dort wohnen!!
Property was stunning, from the outside the gite looks pretty and typically 'French'. The inside is beautiful renovated to a very high standard, well equipped with lots of individual touches. Large rambling garden. Hosts were very welcoming and helpful.
Op een echt enorm terrein met fruit en groente en bloemen en bomen, alles door de eigenaars onderhouden, staat een ruime vakantiewoning met voldoende privacy. De eigenaars geven veel ruimte, dringen zich niet maar zijn wel bereid tot een praatje. Heel aangenaam dus. Er is slechts één minpuntje: de afwasmachine deed het niet wat in de vakantie jammer is. Daar staat dan wel tegenover dat je mag delen in de groente- en fruitoogst. De omgeving heeft prettig weinig te bieden, maar je kunt er wel leuk fietsen. Nantes op 40 km is meer dan fantastisch! Fijn huis, lieve verhuurders.
Aucun problème à déclarer. Très belle propriété au calme où le bio et la permaculture sont rois. On a beaucoup aimé. Propreté, tranquillité, grands espaces.
En revanche, l'emplacement est un peu loin de tout. Ce n'est pas gênant, mais c'est tout de même à savoir.
We had a wonderful stay at Le Case. The hosts were welcoming and helpful and the quince jam they gave us as a welcome gift was delicious. We had a couple of rainy days but the open plan living/kitchen/dining area is so light and spacious that staying indoors was a pleasure. The deck is perfectly positioned to catch the sunshine from morning to evening. The garden itself is enormous - we found new corners and hidden treasures every day and spent hours wandering in the neighbouring woods. (It isn't fenced off from the road or sheds though so if like us you have a dog that likes to explore you'll need to keep a close eye on them!) We loved every moment of our stay and would definitely choose to stay here again the next time.

Très bon weekend à la campagne
Accueil très chaleureux des propriétaires.charmante petite maison, au milieu de la nature. Petite bergerie très bien agencée, où on se sent très bien, arrangée avec goût. Idéale pour accueillir un couple et un enfant. Nous remercions encore madame et monsieur Heurtevin car nous avons passé un weekend très agréable.

a creative and thoughtfully decorated house. well equipped, spacious and delightful.
the house lies peacefully within their beautiful garden and was itself a wonderful surprise as the photographs do not begin to do it justice. we were welcomed by madame heurtevin with a jar of her homemade quince jelly. they were kind and hospitable and we are thinking of hopefully returning soon to enjoy more of the countryside and local restaurants. it was a particular godsend to myself as they were able to turn off their router and i was able to enjoy a restful time without wifi to which i am allergic.

Het perfecte vakantiehuis
Wie van rust en ruimte houdt is hier aan het juiste adres!
Een zeer vriendelijke ontvangst, Engelstalig, met een streekwijn al in de koelkast en verse producten uit eigen tuin. Een heerlijk ruim huis waaraan niets ontbreekt, gelegen in een mooie tuin met moestuin. Een heerlijke week gehad!

Rural but not remote.
A fantastic property in a great location with superb hosts in Pascal and Huguette ??!!....sorry but you did acknowledge that it was an unusual name!! We stumbled upon this beauty of a holiday destination by chance and feel so lucky that we did. There were only the two of us but the property caters for at least another 2 adults and a baby/toddler. Extremely spacious and well equipped with the added bonus of seeing wild deer roaming in the extensive garden. Cannot fault anything about this cottage but do make sure that you get Pascal's WiFi password then be prepared to stand in the garden or on the decking for your reception! But who needs internet connections when the aim is to get away from it all. Lots of lovely minor French roads to get about as well as major highways to access the larger towns/cities like Nantes (Les Machines, Cathedral, Chateau and much more) and Angers (Chateau and old town buildings and much more). We found satnav a must for getting about but this was our first driving visit to France so others may be more able. Too many places to mention including the above but the slightly larger towns are all well equipped with supermarkets and fuel stations as well as churches, chateaux by the bucket load and a slower pace of life. Rural walks from the doorstep or further afield. Remember that most places will be shut from about 12.30-14.30 or beyond so plan ahead. No hesitation whatsoever in recommending a stay here. Merci Beaucoup P and H

Très beau gite et très belle accueil
Très beau gite rénové avec gout. Lieu paisible idéal pour se reposer. Idéalement positionné entre Nantes et Châteaubriant permettant de voir les châteaux sur les marches de Bretagne. Pour les baignades le lac de vioreau n'est pas loin. Les propriétaires sont très conviviaux

Wunderschöne tolle und ruhige Ferien
Wir hatten einen tollen Urlaub in einem wunderschönen und sehr sauberen und neu sanierten Ferienhaus gehabt. Auch die Vermieter waren sehr nett und immer hilfsbereit. Wir waren mit 2 kindern 12-15 und 2 Erwachsene und Hund vor Ort gewesen. Es hatte uns an nichts gefehlt. Ideal für Urlauber die sich gerne in der Natur aufhalten. Das Haus liegt mitten in der Natur. Also sehr ruhig gelegen. Hinter dem Haus war eine große Feuerstelle die wir öfters benutzt haben. Das Grundstück ist riesig und sehr gepflegt. Wir hatten unsere Fahrräder dabei und damit unterwegs. Wir kommen bestimmt wieder!
