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.

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.

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.

About the host

Hosted by Gillian Cossins

Host profile image
Gill and Martin moved to this most beautiful part of Brittany from England in 2001, having lived in Essex for the previous 25 years. They took over the property in Cornean with its two existing gites and have enjoyed the company of a stream of varied and interesting people holidaying with them for the past twenty four years. Many of these visitors, they are delighted to say, visit them year after year and have become good friends. The swimming pool and gardens were a huge bonus and when the barn next door came up for sale it added to their dream of having a pottery and craft studio on site as well. Gill teaches regular pottery and craft classes each week, to which guests are more than welcome to join in. Their dream was further realised when they added a little hobby farm for rescued animals.

Why they chose this property

Our property is very central and as such it is no problem to get to a great variety of interesting places, beaches, golf courses, shops and restaurants.
On site you can enjoy the heated outdoor swimming pool and the games barn with bebefoot, table tennis, pool and a full size snooker table.
Both cottages are equipped with English and French satellite television, hairdryers and irons and have access to washing machine and ironing facilities. We also provide free Wifi access.
Cots and high chairs can be provided also free of charge.
A linen service is available at a cost of £5.00 per person, per week, whereby we make up whatever beds you require and also provide towels, for bathroom use only, ready for when you arrive. You can also bring your own bed linen.
Two course, Evening meals can be prepared and left in your cottage by prior arrangement at a cost of 25.00 Euros per head.
A chauffeur and baby sitting service is available, for a small fee, if you would like to have a nice adult night out on your own.
Gill also has a two storey barn conversion studio overflowing with pottery and craft equipment where you can try your hand at handbuilding pottery, glazing techniques, painting techniques, glass fusing, serviette craft, jewellery making, scrapbooking, card making, crochet, knitting, patchwork and take home a unique work of art. Everyone is welcome in the studio beginner to the more experienced and Gill will fit lessons around the other things that you want to do on your holiday.

Brittany is a most beautiful area of France that has its own unique cultures and language. It is a most green and pleasant land, as the song says, and will allow you to breath in pure fresh air, smell the daisies and recharge your batteries.

What makes this property unique

Special interest holidays:
Pottery and Craft Holidays. We will arrange your art and craft holiday entirely around the things that you want to do and experience. We offer short breaks, self catering or all inclusive holidays and you can choose to bring your own transport or be picked up from our nearest Port or Airport and chauffeur driven for you stay. You can either concentrate on just one of the many subjects we cover, choose several options to have a go at or embrace the whole of course, on how long you intend to stay with us. There are lots of arts and craft classes to enjoy on our specially tailored holidays. Please contact Gill for more details.
