Lovely holiday stay

Lovely place. Owners on same site. Well equipped kitchen, heating worked well (late September visit so we didn't use the pool). Good sized bathroom and lots of hot water. Overall a lovely place to stay.

Peace, beauty and comfort

We spent a wonderful week here with 2 small children. The property and grounds are beautiful. We were made to feel very welcome with essentials already in the fridge and even a bottle of wine! The bed was one of the comfiest I have slept in. The hosts have really thought about all the little details to make a great stay. Stairgates, dishwasher, plenty of garden games, wifi and sky all made our family stay very relaxing. The pool was a wonderful addition and watching the combine harvester work in the field opposite was a treat for the children. We hope to return!

Fabulous!!!

We stayed here with our young Daughter Aug 2016 for 2/52. If you are looking for somewhere rural & peaceful, this is the place for you. Had a FABULOUS Holiday, felt like we had been away for a month. The Owners Jennifer & Kevin were just lovely, so helpful & welcoming!! The house is far bigger than it looks on the photographs, WELL EQUIPED & PEACEFUL!!! The garden was gorgeous & the pool was a fab size and just perfect for a Family! The value for money was exceptional & we will be back many times. Rustic, rural, beautiful. Thank you.

We already have a static in France, but my husband wanted somewhere with a private pool that was also dog friendly. This fitted the bill completely. It was for my birthday, so it was a lovely treat. We just relaxed, had bbq's, swam in the pool, the weather was gorgeous so the pool was a steady 25most days. Just a shame it wasnt ready when we arrived. Hadnt been cleaned or the heating turned on. Soon sorted once we phoned someone who came out the following day. But all together we had a lovely stay and anything you could possibly need was there, from garden games, bikes, to Books, DVD''s, etc.

Beaucoup de soucis lors de ces vacances. Le temps peu propice sur la période. Pas d'internet (dont GPS) même après avoir contacté mon opérateur et la personne du gîte qui a pu remettre la TV seulement. 2 jours de perdu avant de s'organiser un minimum. Les du gîte : les lits fait a l'arrivé bien que j'aurais penser que ma mère de 88 ans aurait eut un lit 2 place plutôt. qu'un petit lit. J'ai couchée dans une sorte de niche dans le couloir certainement très bien pour un ado mais pas pour un adulte souhaitant le noir pour dormir, un vasistas qui ne s'occulte pas et un rideau clair laisse passer la lumière, impossible de faire la sieste,de s'endormir avant le coucher du jour, réveille de meme,donc totalement épuisée. Le gîte est sombre (SAM) mais fonctionnel et propre hormis les toiles et araignées dans toutes les pièces. Tot est penser si vous avez oublié qy chose en petite quantité pour démarrer. Barbecue présent. Piscine bien que chauffée peu utilisé juste mouillé le maillot de bain jusqu'au bassin. Le gîte est bien pour un couple et 2 enfants/ado,moins pour 2 mamies. Le lieu est peu passant et relativement calme. Par contre les vacances en Côte D'Armor en septembre, je ne. réitérerais pas ; beaucoup top de choses à visiter et de magasins fermés. La propriétaire du lieu ainsi que la personne nommé en son absence ont été sympa.

Ein schönes kleines Haus mit guter Ausstattung. Alles da was man braucht. Man sollte wissen, dass eine recht steile Treppe ins Schlafzimmer führt und das Badezimmer sich unten befindet. Mehrere Stufen im Erdgeschoss und der Zugang zum Pool erfolgt über eine Treppe. Für körperlich eingeschränkte Personen daher schwierig. Ansonsten wirklich sehr schön und sehr sauber. Vielen Dank

Une seule chambre à l’étage. Pas de pièce bureau. Aucun accueil même par message. J’ai dû demander le code de la boîte à clef. Le logement n’a pas été nettoyé depuis longtemps. Un ménage de fond s’impose. Il y a beaucoup de toiles d’araignée derrière les meubles. Araignées, mouches et rongeurs qui grattent et marchent entre les plafonds. Le salon de jardin n’est pas propre et pas fidèle à la photo. Le parasol est cassé Le bac avec des jeux extérieurs est plein d’ustensiles moisis. Seulement des serviettes pour 2. Un torchon avec du moisi qui ne nous a pas inspiré la propreté (odeur ?). Petit espace pour déjeuner avec un risque de tomber à cause d’une marche.

J'ai été quelque peu surpris par votre avis négatif. Pouvez-vous nous expliquer ce qui n'est pas propre dans la maison et la piscine ? Le dossier d'information est en anglais d'un côté et en français de l'autre. Malheureusement, le chauffage de la piscine était en panne, mais cela ne nous a été signalé que la semaine dernière et nous l'avons remplacé. Je ne peux pas commenter votre opinion sur le jardin mais je ne suis pas d'accord pour dire que ce soit un dépotoir.

GITE AU CALME

Nous avons apprécié le lave-vaisselle qui nous fait gagner du temps. Les propriétaires sont accueillants. Petits désagréments il n'y a qu'une seule chambre alors que j'avais indiqué 2 chambres sur ma demande. Le site internet n'est pas souple. Problème pour communiquer directement avec les propriétaires quand on a un souci sur le trajet. On n'a pas le temps de se connecter à sa boîte mail puis recevoir le code puis écrire un message. Plus de simplicité pour communiquer. Merci de votre compréhension. Cordialement. Mme Dominique CALMELS

About the host

Hosted by Mrs Jennifer Carr

Host profile image
We are both retired and based in UK, but go to the house as often as possible to enjoy the peace.

We love the area and have made many good friends both in France and, though meeting guests from England France and Germany.

Why they chose this property

When we bought this property it was a series of old farm buildings and was completely overgrown but there was something that appealed to us and we could see the potential for building something lovely - we believe we have achieved this!

What makes this property unique

Whether you want a peaceful, relaxing break or a more active time, you will find it here. We are between the 2 towns of Carhaix and Rostrenen in a sleepy village. But if you want to get to the coast or explore the history of Brittany, you will be well situated.
The garden pool is heated for comfort to approximately 25C, but it should be noted that in the event of heavy rains the temperature will drop until the heater can warm the rain through! There are a number of garden games and bikes available for you to enjoy.
You can go canoeing locally and there are a number of excellent riding centres nearby.
The lake at Guerledan is a short drive away where you can swim or hire a boat - https://www.brittanytourism.com/destinations/the-10-destinations/heart-of-brittany-kalon-breizh/lac-de-guerledan/
The Valley of the Saints are a fascinating day out a little further from Carhaix - https://www.brittanytourism.com/destinations/the-10-destinations/heart-of-brittany-kalon-breizh/the-valley-of-the-saints/
Douarnenez is about a 45 minutes away and is a great place to visit with a beautiful beach. There are many excellent restaurants at the port - https://www.brittanytourism.com/destinations/the-10-destinations/quimper-cornouaille/douarnenez/
Huelgoat is a fairytale place to visit and is so worth a day trip - https://www.brittanytourism.com/destinations/the-10-destinations/heart-of-brittany-kalon-breizh/huelgoat/
There are just a few amazing places within easy reach but Central Brittany is a wonderful place to explore.
