An absolute little hidden gem! The gite was very well equipped and the beds very comfortable The air con was a blessing as the temperature was in the low 30’s ! The pool area was amazing with the water warm and loads of good quality sun beds. The hosts were both very welcoming and friendly as well as full of advice about where to visit for the best beach or bread! Every evening we fed the friendly recused animals then used the games room for a quick game of pool before bed The on site pottery studio was also tried out and we now have a memory of our trip for ever!

Little hideaway

The house was smaller than expected, but lovely. Shower was a bit too tiny and we missed some kitchenutensils (siff, frying pan), but the pool was great and we absolutely loved the pottery. Very happy with our own creations.

Thank you for leaving us a review. I would just like to say that the shower is a normal sized shower and I have checked with the guests that are in the gite this week with regard to having no frying pan or siff (which I assume means sieve/colander) and they have confirmed that there are two frying pans and two colanders in the cupboard. If you thought anything was missing you only had to ask and we would either have shown you where these things were or given you whatever you needed. Glad you enjoyed the pool and pottery lessons though.

Rosy & Lexy

Had a 10 day stay in Fuchsia Cottage ideal size for our family of 3. Gill and Martin were fantastic hosts and nothing was too much trouble and the 2 dogs were so friendly too. The pool was amazing, so clean and a nice constant temperature.Great games room for the kids and pottery with Gill but unfortunately we didn’t get time to do it. Would definitely recommend a stay here with the nearest small town only a few minutes away with a small supermarket and a great restaurant in the town square Thanks again to Gill and Martin for a great stay.

Lovely cottage, clean, great for kids and couples

Lovely clean cottage, not the biggest but suitable for a holiday. Everything was very clean, comfortable and the cottage was equipped with everything you need. It's a little hard to find initially! The pool again was clean and lovely. My kids enjoyed plenty of time just them in the pool and sometimes sharing it with the occupants of the other two gites. They loved the games barn, visiting the animals out the back and also did some craft in the barn, glass fusing. Really lovely hosts and the area has plenty to do also.

Lovely stay, despite the weather

Gill and Martin were very accomodating and nothing seemed too much trouble. We even did some pottery with Gill. The accommodation was very good. Fully equiped with everything you need. One of my essentials is a good shower and we definitely had one here, with instant piping hot water. British TV was also a major bonus too, seeing as it was not warm enough to sit out at night. Swimming pool was very good and they kept it heated every day. When the sun came out, it was even better. The only thing we would have changed was the weather, but that's something you can't do. It has been an unusually wet summer in mid/northern France, so don't let it put you off.

Hi Andrew, Thank you so much for your lovely review. We are so pleased that you enjoyed your stay with us. It was a pleasure to host you and your family, they are a credit to you. I am so happy that you enjoyed your time creating works of art in the studio with me and that you will always have a little reminder of Brittany that you took home with you….I promise, the weather is not usually as bad as you experienced but, we are glad that it didn’t stop you from enjoying your holiday. Love to all xx

Fantastische cottage met vriendelijke eigenaars

We zijn hartelijk welkom geheten door gastvrouw Gillian en we hebben regelmatig onze gastheer Martin gesproken.We hebben genoten van het kleine, gezellig ingerichte cottage huisje. De extra faciliteiten zoals het zwembad en workshop aardewerk vielen erg in de smaak.

Niet wat we verwacht hadden

In de koelkast stond melk en water klaar voor onze aankomst. De koelkast is wel heel klein en maakte veel lawaai. We kregen ook een fles rode wijn en werden ontvangen door de gastvrouw. De keuken is heel klein en de kasten waren binnenin vuil. Ook de pannen waren niet proper. De badkamer was ook hee klein en niet proper. Wel voldoende toiletpapier aanwezig. Geen fohn of zeep aanwezig en de ventilatie werkte niet. Het toilet bleef doorlopen en het spiegellicht werkte niet. De keukentafel is heel klein om met 4 personen aan te zitten en ook de zetel is heel oud en oncomfortabel. Er is ook onvoldoende plaats aan het huisje zelf om op het terras te zitten. De bedden waren fris opgemaakt maar ook hier te weinig hygiëne. Het zwembad werd wel elke dag proper gemaakt en daar was wel voldoende ruimte en speelgoed. Volgens de advertentie was er ook een dvd speler aanwezig, maar dat was niet het geval. We hebben wel 1 ontvangen op vraag maar er was geen afstandsbediening. Ook het strijkijzer en de droogkast werkten niet. Kortom geen aanrader voor mensen die houden van hygiëne en basiscomfort.

We are shocked and saddened by your review of our cottage but, not really surprised as it did seem that you were intent on finding fault from the moment you arrived. In the twenty three years that we have been letting out our cottages we have never had such a terrible review and we are very upset by it. Our cottages are throughly cleaned between the departure and arrival of each set of guests and they are checked before the guests arrive. Most guests compliment us on how comfortable the beds are and what a great nights sleep they get in that cottage but, of course, you had to be the exception. You mention there not being a hairdryer but, if you had looked in the drawer of the chest of drawers in the bedroom you would have found it. As most people stream films and progammes, and have for a while, we took the DVD player out of that cottage and stopped including it in our advert about five years ago so, I can only assume that you had seen a very old advert for it to include a DVD Player. That aside, within half an hour of your saying that you wanted a DVD Player I provided one and set it up for you. As regards the iron, there was an iron in the cottage and it had been working the week before as the guests had used it. It was unfortunate that it would not work for you but, within minutes of you reporting that fact to me I provided you with another iron. I really do not know what else we could have done for you. We tried our best but, obviously our best was not good enough for you. Perhaps you would be better off in a 5 Star hotel for your next holidayinstead of a self catering cottage!

Sehr ruhig und wunderschön gelegen

Das Vermieter-Ehepaar wohnt gleich nebenan und ist sehr, sehr freundlich und entspannt. Das Haus ist klein, aber fein. Sehr nett eingerichtet, es fehlt nichts. Es waren wunderschöne erholsame Tage für uns! Es hat viel Spaß gemacht, die Gegend zu erkunden. Viele schöne Ausflugsziele sind von der Unterkunft aus gut zu erreichen.

Maison simple mais efficace :)

Le logement est plutôt simple mais les équipements avec la grange avec tous les jeux ( baby foot, table de ping pong, petite table de billard, table de hockey sur air et pleins de jouets pour les enfants) et la grande piscine chauffée est très appréciable. De plus Gill et son mari sont très sympathiques.

A refaire !

Super vacances dans le gîte de Gillian et Martin, 2 hôtes charmants et prévenants. Ambiance ferme en pleine nature, parfait pour se reposer au calme, les pieds dans l'eau de la piscine à 28°C. Merci pour votre accueil et votre gentillesse.
