About this property

Quiet & Peacefully located, 4/5 Bed Gite in two acres of owners ground with lake

If you like beautiful scenery, peace, quiet, and relaxing comfort, within easy reach of numerous places of interest, you will find your holiday haven right here. While away an hour or two with a fishing rod by our private lake. Relax and enjoy an hour or two within the grounds, reading, painting or whatever is your thing. The Gite stays cool in the summer, snug and warm in the winter, and this area of Brittany is renowned for excellent weather. This detached, and self-contained, holiday cottage, is very well equipped (especially the kitchen), to help ensure a relaxing stay and has it's own private entrance and parking area. The lounge/diner is well furnished, and has French Doors, which open to a garden patio including an inflatable 2 person jacuzzi. There is a three piece suite, making for total comfort whilst watching TV or DVD, or whilst reading from the extensive range of books upon the shelves. There is a dining table and chairs. The kitchen has fridge/freezer, oven, hob, microwave, toaster, kettle, slow-cooker, washing machine, and abundant kitchen utensils and table-ware. we believe you won't want for anything in our kitchen. There are two double bedrooms, one on the ground floor, which has period furniture in the French style, with a comfortable double bed, and a window view over the lake. The ground floor shower-room and toilet, has a heated towel rail, and there is always an abundant supply of hot water. Upstairs, there is a second double bedroom, with a King size double and a single bed in the same room. This upper room does have cross beams, so if you are 6 feet 2 inches (188 cm) and over, then it is "Duck or Grouse". We aim to make your stay as pleasant an experience as possible. You will find the cottage clean and welcoming, and there will be milk, butter, orange juice and white wine in the fridge, with a loaf of bread, eggs, biscuits, jam, coffee, tea and a bottle of red wine on the side, all with our compliments. Should you wish us to "shop in" for you, simply email us a list, and it will be done, and you can settle the cost when you arrive. All bedding and towels are provided, and changed mid-term if you are staying for a fortnight. Beach towels or towels for sunbathing are available upon request. On the bookshelves in the cottage, there is information about local attractions, together with books and DVD's. The satellite TV is programmed for English channels reception, and has an inbuilt DVD player. You will be on holiday, but we know you might want to 'stay in touch' so WiFi Broadband is available. There is a barbecue for you to use on the adjacent patio, and a relaxing two person Inflatable Hot Tub. Finally we must advise that we have a NO PETS policy.

Vacances en Angleterre !
Excellentes. Dans un cadre parfait en pleine nature, un logement très bien équipé avec plus que le necessaire! Seul remarque négative, il semblerait que cette location ne soit pas prévue pour des français. Les propriétaires ne parlent pas français ou à peine, télé anglaise,quedes jeux et livres anglais. Dommage les soirées sont longues ! !

Tranquillity
The cottage is extremely well equipped, cosy and comfortable with a wonderful welcome pack on arrival. The grounds are superbly maintained with plenty of different seating areas in order to make the most of the weather. The cottage is at the end of lane, so no passing vehicles, if you need peace and quiet, this is a haven of tranquility. Hope to return later in the year

Le calme au milieu de la Bretagne
Le calme, l'espace et le dépaysement était au rendez-vous Mme et Mr Wollard sont des hôtes attentionnés tout en restant discrets. La maison "cottage" est très cosy, on s'y s'en rapidement chez soi. Nous n'avons manqué de rien. La situation géographique du gîte permet de visiter facilement la région. Le jardin immense et accessible et l'étang permettent à ceux que le souhaite se reposer et ne rien faire en toute quiétude. Vraiment un endroit à connaître. Merci beaucoup Frances et Ian

Très bonne location et bien située
Compliqué de dire le contraire lorsque vos critères sont présents. J'essaierai donc d'être objectif ... La location de Ian et Frances est vraiment agréable et bien équipée. Tous deux sont aux petits soins pour vous. La communication est de préférence en Anglais 😀 ......Mais pas de soucis, ils s'adaptent !! J'y ai séjourné 3 semaines en déplacement et le dépaysement est total. Ambiance comme à la maison , cadre, photo, mobilier et......... presque comme à la maison....le SPA !! Le seul fait de sortir du travail, j'avais l'impression d'être en vacances. Étang pour pêcher sur place (Dommage, peut-être la prochaine fois...) canal de Nantes à Brest à proximité (2,5km )pour running ou vtc (pour moi le vtt c'est sans revêtement avec des trous,des bosses, des gamelles... mais super sorties) Le lac de Guerledan est à 15mn,Vannes où Saint Brieuc à 30 mn... pas d'hésitation. Attention, chaînes Tv en Anglais, mais nous ne sommes pas là pour ça, lecteur dvd, wii sur place !! Je recommande vivement cette location et j'y retournerai pour des vrais vacances dès que possible.

About the host

Hosted by Ian & Frances Woollard

Host profile image
We are a "young" retired couple and moved to France September 2015 from the Somerset area. We enjoy meeting new people and new challenges. We chose to make this area our home after visiting friends here over a period of time and found it peaceful and enjoyable.

Why they chose this property

We chose this property because we fell in love with it at first site. The location is tranquil and peaceful yet within easy reach of all amenities with the towns of Loudeac about 5 miles away and Pontivy 8 miles away with a number of smaller towns and villages nearby. We could happily just sit and look at the lake and grounds with the birds and squirrels all day. We provide a welcome pack which includes a bottle of both red & white wines, water, fruit juice, milk, sugar tea, coffee, biscuits, eggs, salt & pepper, a loaf of bread, butter and jam. Our kitchen is supplied with as many utensils as we can think of including a set of kitchen knives. We also supply foil, cling film, paper towels, a selection of spices, bin & dustbin bags and toilet rolls. so you don't have to worry.

What makes this property unique

Unique is not how I would describe our place because very little "is unique". We do however have a peaceful setting to offer for those that want "to get away from it all". If you are inclined you are welcome to fish our lake which has Roach, Rudd, Bream & Carp. You may just want to sit in the sun and read, do photography, paint or enjoy a host of other pastimes. Whatever your choice you can be sure of a peaceful time (local farmers permitting). The gite is suitable for the partially disabled (not wheelchair bound) as it has both a downstairs bedroom and shower room/toilet.
