We have a heated outdoor swimming pool, open from from 10am until 10 pm daily from mid-May to September, and a pottery/craft studio where everyone is welcome to join Gill in creating something totally unique to take home as a reminder of their holiday with us.

We make up all the beds ready for your arrival and provide a bath towel for each guest. The towels are for interior use only, you need to provide your own pool/beach towels. We do have our own animals including a few dogs and several cats so our guests are also welcome to bring their pets so long as they are well behaved and kept under control at all times. There is an additional charge of £50.00 (55 Euros) per pet for the duration of your stay.
Between the months of September to May any heating used is an additional charge. There are oil fired central heating radiators on the ground floor and in the two bedrooms and bathroom on the first floor of this cottage. There is also a log burner on the ground floor, logs can be purchased for 10 Euros per basket.
Other than mentioned above, all costs are included in the price quoted except for electricity. We have inline meters in each cottage which are read upon your arrival and on the day of your departure. Units are charged at exactly the same price as we pay our Electricity Company, no profit is made on the charge whatsoever. Payment will be required on the day of departure.
We have an area at the bottom of the rear garden where we house a variety of animals. There are some long stayers but, a lot of the animals are rescues and we rehome where we can so, numbers and variations are not always the same. They all love company though and are very happy with any food scraps going.
In our field next to the swimming pool is a badminton set up for anyone to use.

We had a fantastic holiday in this lovely gite. The best bits were the space, the peace and tranquility, the pool and the table tennis. Even though the owners had their grand children visiting at the time of our stay, they made sure they did not intrude on our holiday at all. We had the decent sized pool to ourselves most days-which was perfect for us and a huge plus. The pool was warm enough and always clean. The table tennis table was a huge hit with my 12 year old son, and it was in really good condition too!!
whilst the cottage was cleaned prior to us arriving and was clean and the bedding and towels smelled lovely and clean and fresh. The location was remote, but only as remote as stated in the advert. all in all I would thoroughly recommend this property. The owners couldn't do enough for us and are even going to send us back something we forgot!!!

About the host
Hosted by Gillian Cossins
Gill and Martin moved to this most beautiful part of Brittany from England in 2001, having lived in Essex for the previous 25 years. They took over the property in Cornean with its two existing gites and have enjoyed the company of a stream of varied and interesting people holidaying with them for the past twenty four years. Many of these visitors, they are delighted to say, visit them year after year and have become good friends. The swimming pool and gardens were a huge bonus and when the barn next door came up for sale it added to their dream of having a pottery and craft studio on site as well. Gill teaches regular pottery and craft classes each week, to which guests are more than welcome to join in. Their dream was further realised when they added a little hobby farm for rescued animals.
Why they chose this property
Our property is very central and as such it is no problem to get to a great variety of interesting places, beaches, golf courses, shops and restaurants. On site you can enjoy the heated outdoor swimming pool and the games barn with bebefoot, table tennis, air hockey and pool tables as well as toys and ride on toys for younger children. Both cottages are equipped with English and French satellite television, hairdryers and irons and have access to washing machine and ironing facilities. We also provide free Wifi access. Cots and high chairs can be provided also free of charge. All beds are made up ready for your arrival and a bath towel provided for each guest. The towels are for indoor use only, you need to provide your own pool/beach towels. A chauffeur and baby sitting service is available, for a small fee, if you would like to have a nice adult night out on your own. Gill also has a two storey barn conversion studio overflowing with pottery and craft equipment where you can try your hand at handbuilding pottery, glazing techniques, painting techniques, glass fusing, serviette craft, jewellery making, scrapbooking, card making, crochet, knitting, patchwork and take home a unique work of art. Everyone is welcome in the studio beginner to the more experienced and Gill will fit lessons around the other things that you want to do on your holiday.
Brittany is a most beautiful area of France with its own unique cultures and language. It is a very green and pleasant land, as the song says, and it will allow you to breath pure fresh air, smell the daisies and recharge your batteries.
What makes this property unique
Pottery and Craft Holidays. We will arrange your art and craft holiday entirely around the things that you want to do and experience. We offer short breaks, self catering or all inclusive holidays and you can choose to bring your own transport or be picked up from our nearest Port or Airport and chauffeur driven for you stay. You can either concentrate on just one of the many subjects we cover, choose several options to have a go at or embrace the whole of course, on how long you intend to stay with us. There are lots of arts and craft classes to enjoy on our specially tailored holidays. Please contact Gill for more details.
