Cleguerec holiday lettings

We had a week here and to be fair we could easily stayed another. The property was clean and well appointed. The amenities were great. There was a brilliant heated pool, which was spotless and beautifully maintained. There was a barn which had a full-size table tennis table, a couple of children's bikes with stabilisers, a soft archery set, swing ball and inflatables for the pool. The grounds were extensive, with a small playground; perfect for our 3 year olds. In the house the dining room had two large tables, which could easily take 10 each. We only used the upper table. The kitchen is sufficient for cooking. There were two cookers, a calor gas (needs matches to light) and an electric, a fridge/freezer, a microwave and a dishwasher. There was a coffee filter machine and filters, plenty of pots, pans and cutlery. The living room was spacious and comfy with a TV and internet (intermittent). It has a fantastic fireplace! Upstairs there were 4 big bedrooms (inc one en-suite) and a family bath/shower. There was a utility room with a washing machine, a second fridge/freezer and a downstairs toilet. There is a really nice annexe forming a small courtyard. The annexe is fully kitted out and our daughter, her husband and toddler used it. Sabine could not have been more helpful. She provided all the "stuff" we needed ie toilet rolls, washing up liquid, dishwasher powder and advice. Madeleine (a nearby neighbour) even gave us courgettes. All in all a great find. Thank you Sabine.

Arlette made us very welcome with some very helpful emails before we arrived, and waiting for us in the gite were some delightful biscuits, cake, fruit tart, fresh juice, and fresh flowers - a nice touch. The gite itself is gorgeous! It has clearly been converted from its original use to a gite to a very high standard, and with great style. The bed is the most comfortable (and biggest) that we have ever found in France, and the modern bathroom is very well appointed. The kitchen, though small, is extremely well equipped, so was perfect for our stay. Outside is a tidy garden with sun loungers, and table and chairs. The village itself is really pretty, and there are two excellent restaurants and a tapas bar literally on the doorstep. Au Fil des Saisons serves pretty stunning food (80 euros for two including a lovely bottle of wine), and The Chalet crêperie serves excellent galettes and crêpes at a very reasonable price (38 Euros for two including wine) but you should reserve a table for both as they are popular. There are supermarkets, bakeries etc, either 3 or 6 miles away, and Pontivy and Josselin are pretty close for days out. We feel very lucky to have found this gem, and hope to return before too long.
