Peace and seclusion deep in the countryside

Peace and seclusion set against a background of rushing water and birdsong in this characterful converted water mill in a semi-wilded woodland garden deep in the Breton countryside. The gîte is comfortable and well-equipped. No TV or WiFi but plenty of books in English and German. Amenities (supermarket, restaurants etc) about 6 miles away in Guémené-sur- Scorff; local family run bistrot 2 miles away in Kernascléden is good but not open every evening.

Would definately visit again

Beautiful idyllic little cottage that is perfect for a romantic get away for two. Christine was there to greet us when we arrived and gave us a helpful tour of the property and gardens which I have to say are like something out of a fairytale. Privacy was afforded for our entire trip however, if we had need of it Christine was only a stones throw away. A lovely welcome pack of nibbles and drinks were waiting for us. The property had great little kitchen which meant we were able to buy things from the local supermarket and cook. I absolutely loved eating breakfast every morning sat at the table with the window open looking at the stream outside. The property is located in a magical woodland area which was perfect for romantic walks and exploring. I will definitely be recommending this property to my family and friends.

8/10 Good

Quiet and peaceful, and not to remote.

Lovely place and well equiped although some kind of music player would have been good. Really interesting grounds and right alongside the stream and mill race. Gardens are attractive although in September they were a bit overgrown, some plants rather congested the pathways around the cottage which was OK except after the rain which also made the decking in the lower patio a bit greasy and slippy but all else was fine. Our only regret was with all that wood about it's a shame the heater isn't a wood burner instead of an oil heater, wasn't really cold but some evenings it would have nice to sit in front of a wood fire, maybe a fire pit would be a good idea. All in all though a really clean pleasant place and just as described.We never did get to try any of the local restaurants but used the Intermache at Guémené-sur-Scorff. Oh and if you need WiFi go to the Library in Guémené-sur-Scorff, up at the top of the main street by the small parking area. Of interest are the castle walls in the town and are worth a look, our main reason for visiting this area was to visit the Carnac area but due to a miscalculation on my part they were a bit farther away than I realised but still reachable,about an hour and twenty away. Good area for walking at least some of the roads, usually quiet, and forest tracks.

Dear Stephen Thank you very much for your review, I hope you enjoyed your holiday. The garden does tend to get rather exuberant in Autumn! Your suggestion for music is well note. We are fitting a wood burning stove, (the oil was inherited) and in fact only yesterday purchased one that is suitable so hopefully should you decide to have another holiday with us, you will indeed be able to relax in front of it! With kind regards, Chris

Just stayed at the watermill for a week. Had an awsome time. Got a warm welcome as well as some treats on the first night until we could get to the supermarket(about 8km)which was very generous. The extensive grounds were great to explore and the stream made it very picturesque and tranquil. The watermill itself was cozy and well thought out would love to go back. Little wonder it has such strong reviews.

Charmante Unterkunft mitten in der Natur

Was ein toller Aufenthalt! Die Bilder haben uns schon überzeugt und es war genau so, wie wir es uns vorgestellt haben. Sehr gemütlich, tolle Lage in der Natur und traumhaftes Wetter! :) Was es nicht gibt: W-Lan, Geschirrspülmaschine, Radio und TV. Was es gibt: Eine Lage mitten in der Natur, tolle Plätze, um dem Wasserrauschen zuzuhören, eine gemütliche Einrichtung, ungefähr 5 Katzen, die ganz pittoresk in der Landschaft sitzen (und sich teilweise auch streicheln lassen) Man braucht definitiv ein Auto. Fahrradfahren ist möglich, schöne Strecken, aber durchaus mit Steigungen. Supermarkt mit dem Auto 10 Minuten entfernt, es gibt alles, was man braucht. Das Willkommenspaket war super nett und wohldurchdacht, Tee, Kaffee, Milch, Zucker, Kekse, Baguette, Käse ... für die ersten Tage! Bei schlechtem Wetter scheint es nicht so gut möglich zu sein, vor der Mühle zu sitzen. Es gab keine Überdachung. Allerdings hatten wir auch kein schlechtes Wetter. Vielen Dank für einen tollen Aufenthalt!

Petite rivière passant sur des rochers au pied du moulin indépendant, ce Gite , très propre,vous propose un très bon accueil, sans ouvrir ses valises.

Ein Traum im Wald

Es waren wunderschöne ruhige Tage in einer Tollen Unterkunft bei sehr netten Gastgebern. Es war alles sauber und liebevoll vorbereitet, zur Begrüßung gab es einen Korb voll Bretonischer Lebensmittel die uns den Wochenend Einkauf ersparten. Was toll war dass es eine kleine Bibliothek gab mit Deutschen Büchern mit unserer waren wir schon durch. Es gibt viele schöne ruhige Sitzplätze zum zum lesen und träumen.

een prachtig oude verbouwde watermolen, heel mooi ingericht, geen internet, geen wasmachine , gaan vaatwasser dus echt iets voor de gestresste moderne mens die rust wil. De oorverdovende stilte , alleen stromend water hoor je, de fantastische tuin van 2.5 ha met een eigen riviertje en de zeer gastvrije eigenaren hebben ons een heel intens vakantiegevoel gegeven.

Kleinod im Paradies

Die kleine restaurierte Mühle liegt inmitten einem Paradies. Auf dem großzügigen und gepflegten Gelände rund um die Mühle sind viele gemütliche Sitzgruppen platziert, auf denen man herrlich entspannen kann. Man hört nur Vogelgezwitscher und den Mühlenbach rauschen, sonst nichts. Die Mühle liegt einsam in wunderschöner Natur und einem herrlichen Blumengarten. Rundum gibt es viele Wanderwege. Die Vermieter wohnen nebenan im separaten Haus und sind total nett. Weil wir an einem Feiertag ankamen, hatten Sie uns Wein, Cidre, Wurst, Käse, Butter, Marmelade und Brot hingestellt. Kaffee und Tee war auch dabei. Das hat uns gerettet, da alle Geschäfte zu waren. Wir erhielten darüber hinaus noch einige Tipps für Ausflüge. Die kleine Mühle ist ideal zum Entspannen zu zweit oder alleine. Sie ist gemütlich eingerichtet und im Wohnraum gibt es einen Holzofen für kältere Tage. Das Holz ist kostenlos (echt toll). Küche und Dusche/WC sind komplett mit allem ausgestattet, also alles vorhanden. Es gibt allerdings keinen Backofen, dafür aber eine Microwelle. Wir haben uns hier sehr wohlgefühlt. Danke an Christine und Norbert für ihre Fürsorge. Topp!

Ideal zum Ausspannen und um sich zu erholen. Fernab der touristischen Hotspots, die man, wenn man möchte, trotzdem in einer, max. anderthalb Stunden Fahrt erreichen kann.

Authentische Mühle in traumhaften Garten

Wer Ruhe und Abgeschiedenheit sucht und auf Internet verzichten kann, ist hier genau richtig. Die alte Mühle am rauschenden Bach ist sehr liebevoll restauriert und eingerichtet. Es fehlte an nichts - der Empfang war sehr freundlich und unkompliziert - mit üppig gefüllten Begrüßungskorb. Es gibt draußen verschiedene schöne, lauschige Sitzmöglichkeiten. Im Haus war es für uns etwas dunkel - aber das ist natürlich der Lage und dem alten Gebäude geschuldet..... Die Eigentümer wohnen direkt nebenan und sind sehr hilfsbereit - achten aber die Privatsphäre. Vielen Dank an Chris und Norbert!

Herrliche Rückzugsmöglichkeit für den Urlaub

Wir haben in der romantisch gelegenen Wassermühle eine sehr erholsame und angenehme Zeit verbracht. Die alte Mühle und das große Grundstück sind wie beschrieben. Alles Notwendige ist vorhanden und auf dem weitläufigen Grundstück mit Wasserlauf haben wir alle Sitzplätze erkundet. Die Vermieter Chris und Norbert sind sehr aufmerksam und rücksichtsvoll. Halten sich im Hintergrund, sind aber jederzeit ansprechbar, um helfende Tipps für Ausflüge in die Umgebung zu geben, frische Blumen zu bringen oder einen selbstangebauten Zucchini für das Abendessen zu bringen. Wir haben die Bretagne und speziell Kerlautre sehr genossen und kommen gerne wieder. Beate und Peter

About the host

Hosted by Christine Lang

Host profile image
We've lived and worked overseas for over 20 years and currently work in West Africa. We fell in love with the house from pictures on the internet and reality has exceeded our expectations, the only sounds those of running water and bird song (and yes the occasional tractor).

Why they chose this property

The peace and tranquillity, a place to unwind, enjoy good food and wine and relax and enjoy the beautiful surroundings

What makes this property unique

A superb place to escape from the stress and strains of busy everyday life. Somewhere to rediscover the simple things, quietness, clear starlight, sitting in contemplation
