About this property

Idyllic riverside 2 bedroomed gite in midst of quiet Breton countryside

Right next to the peaceful River Aulne near Quimper in Brittany, Gîte du Vert Rivage at Stang Korvenn is the perfect place to completely relax and enjoy Brittany's unique rural culture and variety.
There's direct access to the river, which forms part of the Nantes - Brest canal, with cycling, fishing, swimming and walking. The stunning beaches of the Breton coasts to west and south are within easy reach, and so are many excellent golf courses. The north coast and the ferry port of Roscoff are just over an hour away, and the miles of empty surrounding roads that sweep through the countryside are a motorcyclist's dream. The gîte is conveniently placed near the quiet main road to Quimper, enabling easy access to many wonderful destinations.

Stang Korvenn is a traditional Breton long farmhouse or longère that has been extensively renovated to combine modern living with rustic charm (complete with free Wifi), set in three acres of secluded and fenced wooded gardens, great for children to run around in and explore.

Top locatie
We hebben een heerlijk verblijf gehad. Een hele mooie locatie zo vlak bij de rivier en ook de tuin is heerlijk te vertoeven. Bryan en Jilly waren heel zeer gastvrij en behulpzaam. Omgeving centraal voor uitstapjes maar ook winkels niet al te ver weg. We hebben mooie herinneringen gemaakt!

Excellent holiday cottage
We had a wonderful stay at this very well equipped gite. The hosts, Bryan & Jilly were lovely, very helpful but not intrusive. We really enjoyed spending time in the garden & also made use of the games room & the bikes that are available for guests to use. It's definitely a gite we will return to at some point.

Recommended, great stay
Great stay. The hosts were lovely. When we arrived they showed us around. We barely saw them the days after, ensuring us we have full privacy. A lot of attention on the gite has gone into creating a homely feel. The place looks really nice with attention to detail and is equipped with everything you need, from kitchen appliances to English language TV channels. The garden is huge and has got some swings for kids. The location is good. You'll be a bit out there, so most places, like beaches, are at least a 30 minute drive away, but you get a lot of peace and quiet in return. The supermarket is a 5 minute drive away. Highly recommended!

About the host

Hosted by Bryan Cox

Host profile image
Jilly and I come from Bristol in the UK and took advantage of redundancy from our jobs in health and social care to move to this corner of paradise in September 2013. We have 4 adult children and 4 grandchildren who love to come and visit, and we love to see them. We also love meeting people and sharing this place with them. Many people have returned for several visits, and that is such a bonus for us. We appreciate that people wish to be independent and don't want intrusion from us, but we also know guests like to have us available to advise on places to visit, or sort out any problems that may arise.

Why they chose this property

We brought our children to Brittany when they were little and have always loved its countryside, coasts and culture. Not too hot in the summer, it is similar in climate to southwest England, but a couple of degrees warmer. Spring and Autumn can be particularly beautiful, as well as being even more peaceful and quiet out of the high season.

What makes this property unique

This traditional stone and timber built farmhouse and grounds appeals to nature lovers and those who enjoy the outdoors. The nearby road allows you to access a breathtaking range of places to visit within a 45 minute radius, and motoring on the winding empty roads is a joy. Cyclists also love this place, as you can cycle for hundreds of kilometres along the canal without touching a road.
