Talhouet Kerquere is located in the very pretty commune of Quistinic, which is also the home of POUL FETAN, a restored Breton village where you can experience a taste of Brittany as it was a couple of centuries ago.

We are only 5 mins from the Blavet river where you can hire Kayaks or take a guided boat trip to explore the river. There is a towpath alongside the river which is not accessible to cars but ideal for cycling, fishing or just walking.

There are numerous restaurants and bars within a 15 min drive.

Newly opened in 2014 is a young childrens theme park called KINGOLAND which is about a 20 min drive near Locmine.

There is something for everyone in Brittany, a perfect holiday location for families or couples.

A lovely country retreat - peaceful and relaxing. The house was quaint and authentically French - it had everything you could need plus a few little welcome extras which were a nice surprise! The pool was warm and we used it daily. The caretakers and also the owner were very helpful prior and during the stay with lots of suggestions of places to go and things to do! Overall an excellent experience and we would highly recommend a visit!

Rustic cottage

The cottage is in lovely countryside and we enjoyed visiting lots of nearby places - especially St Nicolas-des-eaux, Kingoland and Carnac. The pool was lovely but the house itself was not clean, the bedsheets and towels smelt fusty, the shower leaked through the ceiling and the dishwasher stopped working during our stay (though Rob did come to sort it out and Rosie and the owner were very responsive).

Dear Laura Thank you for your review of your stay at Ash Tree cottage. It was great to hear that you liked the area and enjoyed our newly refurbished swimming pool. Thank you for your kind words about both Rosie and my quick responses. I was sorry to hear you were dissatisfied about the level of cleaning and issues to do with the shower and dishwasher. As you know, Rob and Rosie look after the two cottages in our absence and I have asked them for a response to your comments about the cleanliness of the cottage, the leak from the shower and the issue with dishwasher. Rosie launders the towels and dries them on a line then fluffs them up in a tumble dryer, we are at a loss to explain why they smelt fusty - we will try different detergents to see if that helps and make absolutely sure that they are 100% dry when they are stored away. We would of course have changed the towels without any hesitation if you had contacted myself or Rosie at the time. We think that the shower door wasn't closed properly (these things happen, no two doors are ever the same!). Rob tested it and couldn't fine a problem. We will see if there is any additional measures to seal the door. We were pleased to hear that there were no further issues reported after Rob had visited. The dishwasher issue issue was easily resolved as it appears that the electric plug had partially come out of the socket. I understand that Rob pushed it back in and that rectified the problem. Kind regards Marcus

Nettes bretonisches Haus mit super Pool

Wir hatten einen schönen Aufenthalt im Ash Tree House. Leider hat das Wetter nicht so mitgespielt. Im Haus war alles vorhanden und Rosie war bei Fragen auch immer für uns da. Der Pool war mega und dazu noch beheizt, da konnte man auch bei schlechtem Wetter schwimmen. Danke für den Willkommensgruß und die Vorabinformationen von Marcus.

Maison néo-bretonne avec grande piscine

Une superbe petite maison bretonne, avec une grande piscine chauffée 12×5m. Les gérants agréables et efficaces se donnent du mal pour l'entretenir. De superbes vacances très au calme aidées du temps magnifique. Petit bémol : prévoir des adaptateurs pour prises électriques britanniques (pas suffisantes dans le logement). Nous recommandons vivement.

Joli gite.

Le gite est bien agencé et joli, les extérieurs, jardin et piscine sont très sympas et agréable. Le coin est tranquille, entouré de champs. Par contre le matériel électronique ainsi que les meubles auraient besoin d'un coup de neuf.

Cher Patrick, merci pour votre avis sur le chalet Ash Tree. Nous sommes très heureux d'apprendre que vous avez apprécié vos vacances, en particulier le cadre et la piscine. Nous sommes désolés que vous n'ayez pas pu obtenir toutes les chaînes par satellite à la télévision. Nous avons mis à niveau la boîte satellite il y a 4 ans et nous ne nous sommes pas rendu compte que la carte devait être renouvelée. Lors de la prochaine mise à niveau, nous mettrons certainement un téléviseur intelligent qui fonctionne hors du WiFi, ce qui surmontera ce problème. Merci encore pour vos commentaires positifs. Cordialement Marcus

Séjour appréciable en famille

Nous avons passé un agréable séjour. Avec quelques investissements pour gagner en confort, le séjour aurait été encore plus apprécié ! (Literie, stores occultants aux fenêtres, eau de la piscine un peu plus chaude). Marcus est discret et accessible à la fois, les petites gourmandises pour notre accueil furent bien appréciées ! Merci pour votre gentillesse.

gîte calme et bien situé

super gîte malgré la difficulté à les différencier (2 gîtes) donc nous étions bien installés en rapport au code qui nous avait été communiqué mais l'autre gîte portait également le même code et avons dû déménager mais le propriétaire est très sympathique. Petit bémol, un vrai manque de vaisselle et le mobilier a bien vécu. N'empêche nous avons passé une excellente semaine en Bretagne. Merci Marcus et à bientôt peut-être

Thank you for your lovely review Sandrine. We are so pleased to hear that you had a very enjoyable holiday in Ash Tree cottage. It was a pleasure to help and advise you on where to go and to provide you with the bicycles. We only wish that we could have been there to welcome you but because of the pandemic it was not possible to visit France this summer. We hope that you will come back in the future when we will be there to meet you. Cordialement Marcus
