Brian & Alan were the best hosts ever!
They're the kindest, and their gite is really the sweetest
Many activities to do (swimming pool, snooker...) for every member of the family :)

Was my pleasure to have you pick to stay at Kegrario was lovely to have you with us at Kegrario
Our stay at Alan's was fantastic. The location of the property is in a quiet village.
It is ideal for a very relaxed break.
Lots for the children to do at the property. Games room, zip wire, swings, trampoline & a good sized clean pool. Also lots of land for the children to explore all of which was very safe.
We will definitely be visiting again.
Alan was a great host.

Was lovely to have you stay with us and be lovely to have you back
We had a fantastic time at this lovely cottage! Brian and Allan, the owners, were incredibly friendly and attentive, going out of their way to make our stay special. They even made us homemade pizza with their pizza oven, which was absolutely delicious!
The cottage has plenty of great amenities -our favorites were the snooker table and the trampoline. Brian and Allan were really relaxed about letting us use everything, even if it meant moving furniture around or taking a midnight swim in the pool.
If we had to mention a small downside, it’s that the “boat stairs” can be pretty steep and tricky if you’re not used to them. Plus, one of the three bedrooms isn’t fully enclosed from the living room since there’s just a staircase separating them, which might be a bit inconvenient if you’re looking for privacy.
Overall, the cottage is not only beautiful but also incredibly cozy, and Brian and Allan’s warm welcome made it even more inviting. We definitely recommend this spot if you’re looking for a comfy place in a quiet, peaceful area with lots of fun activities and fresh air!
Nous avons passé de très bonnes vacances en famille: cottage est spacieux et agréable, la piscine donne un raison de plus pour notre contentement.
Le propriétaire est aimable et serviable. Petites réserves en propreté représentent le seul point négatif.
Nous recommendons!

Joli emplacement
Chaleureux chalet dans un joli paysage,
Agréable poêle à bois qui convenait parfaitement au temps breton,
Seul bémol pas de spa en vu, peut être le retirer de l'annonce ?
Ha oui et merci pour le pet friendly 😀 pas assez nombreux sur ce genre de site
Alan has worked hard to ensure his gites are great for families. Great pool, lots of open space, and toys to play with. Very friendly and welcoming host. Couldn't fault, we would happily stay again and recommend to others looking to go to this region.
Hôte très agréable et aux petits soins.
Un grand nombre d’activités possibles sur place pour le plaisir des petits et grands.
Jardin clos et sécurisé pour profiter pleinement de la piscine.
Beau domaine en cours de rénovation.
Petit bémol sur le ménage.
Une adresse à conserver
Nous avons passé une semaine dans ce gîte ou tout est à notre porté. Le gîte possède un tout petit "jardin" non fermé. Le "vrai" grand jardin est commun, il possède une grande tyrolienne, un trampoline, un but de foot avec des ballons, des balançoires et une table de tennis de table. Ce qui est bien c'est que tout est fournit, les raquettes il y a également ce qu'il faut pour un badminton. La piscine est séparé de cet endroit par un mur, elle est clos et très sympathique ! Il n'y a aucun vis a vis de la piscine au reste du domaine.
La salle de jeux est un peu plus éloigné le point négatif étant qu'il faut passer devant la porte des propriétaires. Elle est très grande, on y trouve un grand billard un petit babyfoot et des jeux de fléchette ainsi qu'une grande télévision. Le spa n'était pas disponible durant notre séjour (nous supposons que cela est dû a des travaux). Donc si vous ne souhaitez pas bouger durant vos vacances tout ce qui est au domaine devrait suffire a vous satisfaire !
Les hôtes sont très gentil, avec des gentilles attention pour savoir comment se dérouler notre séjour malheureusement la barrière de la langue a été compliqué pour nous, les hôtes ne parlant pas bien le français et nous mal l'anglais.
Le cottage est très agréable, nous étions 4 avons beaucoup de place. Le propriétaire étant sur place si vous avez oubliez quelque chose, il ferait tout pour vous satisfaire.
Le cottage a tout ce qu'il faut, la piscine est agréable également et si comme nous vous avez du soleil c'est encore mieux Les lits sont aussi parfaits , vous pouvez faire de bonne nuit. Nous y retournerons avec plaisir.
Un havre de verdure, de calme et d’espace au grand air idéal pour séjour en famille avec enfants
Le terrain disponible autour de la longère et tous ses équipements sont tout simplement géniaux : jardin arboré, tyrolienne et énorme trampoline, piscine à l’abris du vent, salle de jeux accessible (billard, babyfoot, fléchettes...), départ de balade à pied au milieu des bois et des champs... La végétation, les paons, les vieux bâtiments en pierre du 17ème... l’ensemble est très bucolique. Nous avons passé 4 jours en famille avec 4 enfants/adolescents : chacun y a trouvé son compte! Alan nous a accueilli de façon très chaleureuse, est resté disponible et en même temps très discret. Les travaux de rénovation restant des différents bâtiments sont encore gigantesques mais le projet est magnifique! Nous reviendrons avec grand plaisir d’ici quelques années pour admirer l’avancée des travaux et profiter des équipements à venir!
Accueil jovial. Les propriétaires ont repris le site depuis 6 mois et on fait un travail monstrueux pour le remettre à flot. Quoi qu'il y ait encore beaucoup à faire ils ont un très beau projet
A very pleasant stay in a lovely location. Alan and Kate were very friendly, accommodating and extremely helpful hosts. There is very nice walking immediately from the property and the pool is an added bonus!
