Pour une version française, veuillez voir ci-dessous.
- Exceptionally well appointed, charming character cottage in peaceful, rural location.

Welcome to our lovely gite 'Kersidan' - Breton for âPlace of Peaceâ. The gite is a converted stone walled barn, approximately 300 years old. It has been sympathetically restored and retains many original features such as exposed stonework and beams and has everything needed for a comfortable and relaxing holiday. It is set in beautiful gardens and is part of a small hamlet with only four other houses, surrounded by rolling farmland and woods. The cottage has its own secluded garden and apart from the main house there are no immediate neighbours.
Kersidan is ideally situated for exploring Brittany and its many historic towns and villages. The spectacular Southern Brittany coast with its glorious beaches and quaint fishing ports is within easy access.
Kersidan sleeps two guests comfortably in a kingsize bed and there is an additional double sofabed in the living area. A cot and high chair are also available. The gite is ideal for couples.
The gite has a shower room and toilet upstairs and a luxury bathroom. It features a fully equipped kitchen with electric oven, gas hob, microwave, washing machine and a table seating four. There is a television providing UK and French channels and a DVD player. Free Wi-Fi Broadband Internet access is available.
We have a satellite broadband system delivering faster Internet access at all times. It is a limited system and is not suitable for streaming and online gaming.
Our prices are fully inclusive. There are no extra charges for heating, electricity, bed linen, towels (excluding beach towels) and end of let cleaning. For rentals longer than 7 nights, a weekly linen change and clean is included.
NOTE FOR 2026 BOOKINGS: the house across the lane from ours is currently undergoing renovation and there are some building materials alongside the lane. There is very little noise from this work and it is not visible from the gite.
Please note that we require the following information to complete the booking process. This information is for our security and insurance purposes and is NOT shared with any third party. Failure to supply this information at the time of booking may result in your reservation being cancelled.

Bienvenue dans notre charmant gßte 'Kersidan' - Breton pour 'Lieu de Paix'. Le gßte est une ancienne grange en pierre reconvertie, vieille d'environ 300 ans. Il a été joliment restauré et a conservé de nombreuses caractéristiques d'origine telles que les pierres et les poutres apparentes et dispose de tout le nécessaire pour des vacances confortables et relaxantes. Il est situé dans de beaux jardins et fait partie d'un petit hameau avec seulement quatre autres maisons, entouré de terres agricoles et de bois. Le chalet a son propre jardin clos et à part la maison principale, il n'y a pas de voisins immédiats.
Kersidan est idĂ©alement situĂ© pour dĂ©couvrir la Bretagne et ses nombreuses villes et villages historiques. La spectaculaire cĂŽte sud de la Bretagne avec ses magnifiques plages et ses ports de pĂȘche pittoresques est facilement accessible.
Kersidan peut accueillir confortablement deux personnes dans un lit king-size et il y a un canapé-lit double supplémentaire dans le salon. Un lit bébé et une chaise haute sont également disponibles. Le gßte est idéal pour les couples.
Le gßte dispose d'une salle d'eau et de toilettes à l'étage et d'une salle de bain luxueuse. Il dispose d'une cuisine entiÚrement équipée avec four électrique, cuisiniÚre à gaz, micro-ondes, lave-linge et une table pour quatre personnes. Il y a une télévision avec des chaßnes britanniques et françaises et un lecteur DVD. Un accÚs Internet haut débit Wi-Fi gratuit est disponible.
Nous avons un systÚme à large bande par satellite offrant un accÚs Internet plus rapide à tout moment. Il s'agit d'un systÚme limité et ne convient pas au streaming et aux jeux en ligne.
Nos prix sont tout compris. Il n'y a pas de frais supplémentaires pour le chauffage, l'électricité, le linge de lit, les serviettes (hors serviettes de plage) et le ménage de fin de location. Pour les locations de plus de 7 nuits, un changement de linge hebdomadaire et propre est inclus.
REMARQUE POUR LES RĂSERVATIONS 2025 : la maison situĂ©e en face de la nĂŽtre est actuellement en rĂ©novation et des matĂ©riaux de construction sont prĂ©sents le long de la route. Ces travaux sont trĂšs peu bruyants et ne sont pas visibles depuis le gĂźte.

About the host
Hosted by Mark and Alison Brooke-Read
Thank you for taking the time to look at our lovely gite in Brittany, 'Kersidan'. We are extremely proud of the gite and our detached house which is situated alongside. Our previous guests have given us excellent feedback, not only on the gite itself but on the gardens, surrounding countryside and the local area. We live and work in the UK and we acquired Kersidan in May 2010. It was a dream come true for us and we have never looked back. The problem we have is getting enough time to spend there. Whether it's summer or winter, we enjoy every visit we make. If you do travel out to our gite we're confident that you'll have a relaxing, comfortable and enjoyable time. Mark and Alison Brooke-Read
Why they chose this property
We wanted a country retreat and a bolt-hole from the hectic UK lifestyle. The surrounding area has everything we wanted - peace, local amenities and access to beaches. Since owning Kersidan we have made many good friends with neighbours and the local farming community - everyone has made us very welcome.
What makes this property unique
Relaxation, peace and quiet. Easy access to places of interest and the southern Brittany beaches and coastline.
